Looks like the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2 is going to be trimmed down quite a bit due to XBOX 360’s DVD disc space restrictions compared to Sony Playstations Blu-ray format. In a recent interview with Kotaku Lost Planet 2 producer Jun Takeuchi explained that Capcom had to trim down a significant amount from the game :
We are not sure what has been removed but from what Jun said :
“This time, truly, the content that was cut was significant,” Takeuchi added, “and at the end, we had to wrestle with disc space.”
Jun also noted that even though it really destroyed the team in doing so he is positive that the content that was removed might be able to make an appearance as downloadable content in the future
“I think we could be able to add that content at a later date as downloadable content.” Everybody wins!
Now my own request here is that Capcom do the honourable thing and release this DLC for Lost Planet 2 for FREE !!
What do you guys think ? Your suggestions and thoughts on this.

Why don’t they just put it on 2 discs? and the DLC better be free, otherwise there are going to be a few very pissed people out there, and maybe a few customer groups asking why?

Normally I dont care THAT much about Day 1 DLC or the like for a price as long as the game is big enough. Like I think Dragon Age had some Day 1 DLC you had to pay for, but that game is super big even without the DLC! But in this situation, based on the fact that the ps3 is going to have all that stuff for free… definitely should be free in my opinion.

They better include the stuff for PS3, it would be an insult to / waste of the blu-ray format, if they excluded it.
People need to demand that Microsoft change their DRM and Dashboard update policy (1.7GB per dual-layer disc is reserved for these things, leaving only 6.8GB for games).
They should have made Marcus, Dom, and Wesker the DLC, and focused on the actual game. MS needs to let companies host their own DLC servers, so that they can use downloads to augment the outdated DVD format.

I gotta second what duraroc said.
Why not just split it up to 2 discs? It better not just be an excuse to then charge more for it as DLC.
@RA_TARD
ya, they should definitely put it on 2 discs.. *smh

I will not buy this if they charge for the “dlc” that was originally going to be on the disc. I don’t know if Im getting this anyway. The only thing that makes me want it is Marcus!

Worst justificative for an DLC.
