'Lost Planet Colonies' rated by German authority

The "Lost Planet Colonies" trademark first surfaced in late May, but Capcom would not confirm that a sequel was in development. A few weeks later, Dutch distributor Nobilis listed Colonies as an Xbox 360 and PC release due in January 2008 -- but again, Capcom remained ambiguous about the alleged title. Today's development is the most definitive evidence of a true Lost Planet continuation, but it's still weak. The USK listing could be an error, and instead of a sequel, Colonies could be the subtitle of the meaty PS3 edition of Lost Planet -- or something entirely different, or nonexistent.
Lost Planet was an early success for Capcom's global initiative (though it flopped in Japan), so it seems likely that a sequel will eventually work its way through the pipeline. Still, there are a lot of other Capcom properties that could (even, should) take precedence.

Sorry for the Offtopic, but I've been waiting for this game forever! And it looks like the wait might have been worth it.

I loved this game, felt almost like a platformer. Very laid back gameplay with fun boss battles. I hope the sequel comes to PC faster than the original.

Don't you mean the bigger-than-life "It came from Japan" style bosses?

Lost Planet was a piece of sh*t that, like a majority of EA's titles, did not deserve even half of it's success. but it did anyway because of Capcom's unprecedented marketing blitz. tell enough people about your game and it will sell regardless of quality, for the most part. consumers are stupid like that.
what bothers me most though is that we haven't heard jack squat about Dead Rising; a game that actually deserves a sequel and was one of the first original AND exclusive titles to sell over a million.
where the hell is Dead Rising 2?
