There have been speculations around the internet that Capcom's newest game E.X. Troopers will be a spin-off of Lost Planet. Capcom has released a promotional video showing the characters, art style and gameplay. The first and most notable aspect of the game is the animé feel and cel-shaded graphics with comic/manga like scenes. I suppose this bothers some fans of the series as Lost Planet have had a more realistic approach in the first two installments. There was an announcement a while ago that Lost Planet 3 was being developed by a Western company, and so I guess Capcom is taking the time to developing this little spin-off. So far, I'm intrigued by what I see. The characters and story seems like it will be a bit more light hearted and involving. The bright colors, space-like environments, and enemies almost remind me of Phantasy Star which isn't an entirely bad thing. What's odd about the game at the moment is that it will release on the Playstation 3 and Nintendo 3DS. I'm wondering what the differences will be. The 3DS will have the neat 3D effects and portability and since the graphics don't look to intense it'll be just as good on the device. On the other hand, the PS3 might truly have a better presentation in aesthetics with better lighting systems and particle effects. The PS3 would also have the advantage of a larger screen and better controls (still no true dual analog sticks for 3DS, that bulky attachment doesn't count). Looking at the trailer, I would have thought the game was developed by Sega if it wasn't based on Lost Planet just judging from the art-style, music, and character design. This might turn out to be a really fun game. As much as Capcom upsets me with their fighting game expansion shenanigans and expensive DLCs, I praise them highly for delivering fun and high quality games to their fans. E.X. Troopers will be released on Playstation 3 and Nintendo 3DS with no release date announced at the moment.
