Exclamation Lost Planet Demo Available

Lost Planet is simply amazing. It can be played in DX9 and DX10 (those who can). I haven't seen such textures and rich effects ever ! With a simple click you can enable the second core if you are lucky to have a DC CPU! If you want to take a look at it and maybe play (good PC required) download Steam 4 free and then thru steam dld either DX10 (GF 8600/8800, ATI 2900/ Vista) or DX9 version as you please. Here is the first pic I took in game, more to come in a few minutes!

Definately this game is fascinating ! I encoded with avivo 4 movies I recorded and I am uploading them right now. Sam or Giz pls make them available here in this thread (links pls). Fraps is acting weird, when recording the fps are dropping from 30-40-50 to 20-10... I have no ideea why... Anyway just ignore the poor fps and enjoy the scenery !

I was having some issues myself. Strange glitches and the controls do not work as you have bound them.

The screen shots you are taking, are they from the video test fly through?

The motion blur is very cool. It tricks the eye in to seeing smooth action, even at fairly low frame rates.
