_______________
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Capcom's previously Xbox 360-exclusive third person sci-fi action shooter, is in development for PC, the publisher announced at a San Francisco press event last night. Having taken flak for the SourceNext-developed, Ubisoft-published PC ports of Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, perceived by some to be inferior to their console originals, Capcom stated that it is handling the PC version of Lost Planet entirely in-house, with assistance from NVidia. During last night's event, the company cited the success of the game on Xbox 360 and "the resurgence of the PC market" as factors in the decision to put Lost Planet on PC.Last Month,Capcom announced that its anticipated action game Devil May Cry 4 is also in development for PC as well as Xbox 360, in addition to the previously announced PlayStation 3 version. Both Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 are based on Capcom's newly developed in-house multiplatform engine. The company was clear in its intent to continually increase its focus on multiplatform development.

Interesting. I kind of got sucked into this 360 game while over at a family member's house not long ago. Will be interested to see how it does on PC.

Can't wait! I love it when good games from consoles get ported to PC, I just much prefer it if they get ported well.

I didn't like the game at all, just too boring

The 360 version is actually quite a reasonable game in my opinion,quite tough at times.

But for me it has a huge resemblance to Gears of War style of game play which is far superior.

The only real let down of this game is the mid level scenes can be far too long at times.
