Upcoming Bullshit

LOST PLANET OF SORROW

 Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 at 4:00pm by

I really, really dug the original Lost Planet game. I don’t really remember the “story” of the game, probably because I care about story in video games about as much as I care about story in porn, but basically you’re on a big frozen planet and there are these giant alien bug things and you run around killing them. So it’s like Starship Troopers on Hoth.

Yep. “Like Starship Troopers on Hoth.” I am one cool dude.

ANYWAY, the game had no metal in it – in fact, I have fond memories of cranking metal while playing, just to make the experience extra-fun – but maybe its upcoming sequel will be different: this trailer featuring a new Kingdom of Sorrow track, entitled “Enlightened To Extinction,” has just been released. It’s basically just a music video with footage from the game, but if metal + killing aliens ≠ fun, then I don’t know what does.

Kingdom of Sorrow’s sophomore effort, Behind The Blackest Tears, comes out June 8 on Relapse. Lost Planet 2 comes out May 11 on various platforms.

    I thought it sounded pretty rad until the jasta vox kicked in.

      yea. I’d probably be happier with a new crowbar album than kingdom of sorrow for this reason. but I love everything Kirk does

    I got the game last night on thePS3 and I don’t recall anything that sounded like metal in the soundtrack. Awesome game though.

    1. im pretty sure this is just a fan made trailer and not offcially sanctioned by cap com but ive been wrong before

    2. the song is WAY better than the last kingdom of sorrow i heard but thats not saying much….

    3. game does look awesome

    4. why dont more video games use REAL METAL for their soundtracks? i remember being so irritated when MW2 released that trailer that had the eminem song in it…i like his stuff and all…but when you want a soundtrack for warfare..you go to metal….end of story

      #4 is why I love being able to connect my player to my Xbox for custom soundtracks. Halo multiplayer goes great with The Faceless.

    this game was a huge letdown despite looking really pretty. Song sounds ok though.

  • kickoutthejamsman

    that looks BADASS never played the first one, but ive been looking for a new game to replace MW2 for a while.

    • Strapping Young Lad

      dude… trust me, not worth it at all! Although this game’s graphics are out of this world, the game play is frustrating and clunky. Save your 60 bucks.

      • Gaia

        60 bucks!! Holy shit. I don’t play games and i did not know they cost that much. Fuck that.

      Don’t listen to the haters, the game is fantastic. The problem is that people lately expect all things with guns to play like Modern Warfare, which this does not. The controls and gameplay mechanics take some getting used to if you’re used to typical shooters, but I don’t see how anything that lets me and 3 buddies take on screen-filling bosses in flying, transforming mech suits can be a letdown.

      In short, maybe rent before you buy, but if you go in with the right expectations, you’ll have fun.

    so far the two new KOS tracks sound fucking awesome! way better than almost anything on the first album. Kirk has really brought some chewy thick badass riffs to the table for this one.
