Lost Planet PC and 360 Updates!
Straight from the horse's mouth! On August 16th, Capcom will be released a new set of DX 10 enhancements for the PC version of their hit game, Lost Planet!
"Capcom is pleased to confirm a DX 10 features patch and new multiplayer map pack for Lost Planet PC, as well as news for the Xbox 360 Lost Planet community.
A new set of DX 10 enhancements for Lost Planet PC will be released as an automatic downloadable patch on August 16th. These are designed to take greater advantage of DX 10 capabilities by utilizing Geometry Shader to improve overall visual quality through better depth of field effects, improved motion blur and fur shading.
A basic chatting system has been added for the PC version which includes four default message options that can be used to communicate with others in the lobby, in-game and result screen.
In addition, PC Map Pack #2 will be available for free download on the same day and includes the following four maps: 'Battleground,' an abandoned town scattered with rubble from ruined buildings, featuring indoor/outdoor areas with multi-level vantage points; 'Lost Technology,' a throw-back to the good ol’ days of pixelated 8-bit gaming, 'Ruins,' ancient temples set amidst a lush jungle; and 'Ice Drop,' a frigid glacier with lots of peaks, nooks and crannies. The total file size for PC Map Pack #2 will be 400 Mb."
360 users aren't left completely out in the cold, as there is news for them as well!
"We’ve also got some news for the Xbox 360 community of Lost Planet fans.
