Okay, just disregard everything below this. Lost Planet 2 co-op demo out. Pick it up. Let’s play.

Nevermind, I got confused this morning. I thought this was Rising. This is, as Cano just pointed out to me, the PSP one. No wonder the graphics look flat and dated. Nothing to see here, move along…

So I guess Gamescon is on in Cologne. Lots of stuff to sort through. Some new info on Kojima’s new MGS: Peace Walker. The video itself is incredibly lackluster, but the info is interesting. 4-player co-op (Combat Operations, Comradeship, Cooperation, they just kept slapping the screen with words that started with CO) and some interesting gameplay. The graphics look incredibly bland, but they’re also washed out from the video itself. A gameplay feature, though I’m not sure on this, looks to be to link up with a squadmate (put you hand on his shoulder). This makes you do what the person in front of you does (well, walking wise). The cool thing about this is that it looks to finally make those epic “you take point, I’ll cover the rear” moments work in gaming. Usually the rear guy ends up going too slowly, too fast, or just stopping, and the whole concept of a solid moving unit is lost. They look to have made this possible. Honestly, the trailer is not very interesting and very long, but hopefully some good stuff will come from this.
