Lost Planet

We had a great showing a few weeks ago at the Tokyo Game Show, with people waiting up to 4 hours to get their hands on Lost Planet multiplayer. We also showed a bunch of other stuff, including the latest installments in the Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney franchises (which are both hugely popular in Japan), along with Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3 and many others.

Here’s 16 pictures of TGS and the Capcom booth. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge in a new window.

The last picture there is a sign saying how long the wait time was to play Lost Planet (it was 50 minutes when the picture was taken). It also says everyone who stands in line and plays gets a free pen, and people on the winning team get a Lost Planet postcard.

The next two pictures below are a few more pictures of the LP area of our booth, taken by Janet Hsu, a translator/localizer on the Localization team (her current project is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All). These pictures show the single-player and multi-player area for Lost Planet. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge in a new window.

Game Watch, a Japanese game news website, has some articles about Capcom’s TGS showing, complete with a ton of pictures of the booth. This article features stuff from 9/22, and this one has more stuff from 9/23. Even if you can’t read the Japanese, it has a lot of great pictures.

The next three links below are to more pictures, courtesy of the GamerScore Blog.

Some Capcom booth staff in the Lost Planet area.

This is the entrance, with a line waiting outside, to the special room they had set up at the Microsoft booth for “Z-rated” content (in Japan’s CERO rating system), games deemed unsuitable for minors. In Japan, Dead Rising got a Z rating, which is akin to an AO rating in the US. And since TGS is open to the public, they had to make sure little Taro-kun doesn’t accidentally see any zombies getting chopped to bits with a lawnmower by a cross-dressing photographer named Frank West.

And, it wouldn’t be TGS without booth babes – or, as booth babes are known in Japan, “companions” – in wacky outfits. Here are some of our Capcom booth companions (as seen in the last picture in the first row of images at the top of this post).

Here’s a few more shots of our vinyl-clad companions as found on the Eurogamer website (note that the images are very large). And here’s a last one of some of Microsoft’s companions in front of the Lost Planet kiosks at the MS booth.

Aside from the Capcom booth, Janet also shared some pictures she took of the Lost Planet kiosks at the Microsoft booth. Click to view larger size in a new window.
