The launch of Lost Planet is tomorrow! Wow, how time flies when you’re busy as hell… We have our big launch event tomorrow night (look for pictures and a follow-up report soon after the event), signing events in SF and Seattle (Bellevue, actually) on Friday night, plus my contest that starts Friday where you can win exclusive Lost Planet stuff just for playing the game.

Well, I’ve been working my fingers to the bone today to get my Lost Planet Multiplayer FAQ completed before the launch, and I’m proud to announce that it is now LIVE.

So head over and check it out so you know everything there is to know about the multiplayer mode.

Official Lost Planet Giveaway!

Lost Planet will have been out in Japan for about a month by the time it ships in the West. Even when I log on at night, which would be morning to around noon-time in Japan, there are plenty of people on during the week.

So when you go online, chances are you’ll end up in a match with at least a few Japanese players. So, your favorite Lost Planet blogger (ME!), who also happens to be a translator at Capcom, is here to teach you some words and phrases to help you communicate with your teammates, and even do a little trash-talking if you feel so inclined.

Okay, so you’ve already read Part 1 and Part 2 of my multiplayer tips. Here’s Part 3, with the higher-level techniques and know-how that will give you the upper hand when you take the battle online (a lot of this also applies to the single-player mode, too). Who knows, some of this may even help you get all the Achievements quicker and give you a better chance at winning the giveaway contest.

Later today I’ll also be putting up my Multiplayer FAQ, along with a crash course in Japanese for when you get online with all those Japanese players (and there are a lot of them!)

With the launch of Lost Planet just days away, I figured I would share some (actually most) of my Lost Planet knowledge with you.

I start off with the basics (very basic – from video cables and setting up your TV), and move into more advanced stuff. Some of this stuff you probably already know, especially if you’ve been playing the demo non-stop like I know some of you have. But even if you consider yourself and expert at the game already, there’s bound to be something you haven’t seen or figured out yet. This is just Part 1. Look for Part 2 tomorrow and Part 3 on Wednesday.

My main man Rob P. down at our LA office just sent me the Brady Games strategy guide for Lost Planet.

It comes in at almost 200 pages, with maps and strategies for the complete story mode, plus info on all the weapons, Vital Suits, and Akrid. It also covers the rules and specific scoring formulas for multiplayer. The design and layout is very good, with a ton of art and CG renders from the game even I hadn’t seen yet.

There’s even a cool poster with maps on the back for all stages in the story mode showing where all the Target Markers are hidden. Very convenient for getting that Target Marker Achievement!
