After Capcom announced last week that Monster Hunter 3 was not going to be gracing the PS3 fans were annoyed. However Capcom said that PS3 fans must wait and they will feel better this week.
Well the big secret has been revealed and it is Lost Planet. Now I thought this was great news for the PS3 as Lost Planet is a solid enough game, however people are not happy.
Even if we get Street Fighter 4 on the PS3, replacing Monster Hunter 3 with the sloppy seconds of the not so critically acclaimed Lost Planet is enough to make me say that I feel the same way I felt last week Capcom. Betrayed.
Is that fair on Capcom? Well I guess a lot depends on how well the game gets ported and if Capcom announce more games for the PS3.

I dont know what monster hunter is and I dont know what lost planet is. So either way I dont care.
But Street Fighter 4 now that would rock!

abev, Monster Hunter is a game that is huge in Japan and losing it is a big blow to Sony in Japan

Lost Planet is another FPS game that originally came from the Xbox 360 but didn’t do very well on the platform, not quite up to scratch… Anyway keep an eye out for the Street Fighter 4 story 😉

Uh, point of order – Lost Planet did exceptionally well actually, it sold over a million copies, largely due to clever release timing, but still, a million units is a million units.

Yeah it may have sold well but it didn’t do well, it received mediocre reviews and had no lasting appeal
