Lost Planet 2 on Xbox 360 told to TRIM DOWN !!

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.

NECA Releases Bioshock 2 new toy figures

4
Official Press Release from NECA

bioshock2toys-02

BioShock returns with a new game and new figures!
It’s 1970, 10 years after the original BioShock. We’re back in BioShock 2 in the dystopian underwater city of Rapture, but now it’s controlled by Sophia Lamb, whose message of collective conscious is spread by a priest-turned-cult-leader. Additionally, to maintain order in the city, Lamb has created an army of Big Daddy-like enforcers called Big Sisters and sent them to abduct little girls from towns on the Atlantic Coast and bring them back to Rapture to create new Little Sisters.

Suddenly, the prototype Big Daddy from the original production line reactivates with no recollection of what’s happened in the past 10 years. After scouring the city in a vain attempt to find the Little Sister he was originally paired with, he realizes Sophia Lamb‘s evil plan and seeks to overthrow Lamb and her army of Big Sisters.

BioShock 2 doesn’t release until next year, but NECA has already begun celebrating the sequel to the original 2K Games smash with a sneak preview deluxe figure of the Big Daddy Bouncer, which is in stores now! Our BioShock 2 line officially kicks off in January with the Series 1 assortment:

Subject Delta (formerly the Big Daddy player) is highly detailed and over 7″ tall, has removable hoses and backpack tanks, an interchangeable drill arm, and ball joints at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles.

Big Sister is of similarly massive 7″-plus proportion and detail. She has a removable backpack with a cage basket just the right size for capturing a Little Sister and ball joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees ankles and ab crunch.

Finally, Little Sister has an ADAM syringe and ball jointed neck and shoulders, hinged elbows and knees and a v-crotch. And yes, she does actually fit in Big Sister‘s basket.

There will be a Toys R Us exclusive two-pack with Big Sister and Little Sister packaged together, and even more BioShock 2 announcements to follow, including details on the EVE Hypo light-up replica and the Big Daddy plush doll, as seen on the Xbox Live Marketplace and in the BioShock 2 ad campaign!

Of course, keep it tuned to necaonline.com and our Amazon storefront for more on BioShock 2 and other lines from your favorite games and movies.

Check out the official NECA website, they have a HUGE range of toys.  I could spend so much money, but im holding back the temptetation.  Let us know if you end up getting a Big Daddy or anything else from the site 🙂
