Lost Planet: Extreme Condition has only been out on PC for a little while, but already it's getting a load of free content dumped on it in a new patch. Check inside for details.

I'm not sure whether this is a patch to fix bugs, or to entice more people to play/buy the game. I have a suspicion that it is the latter. If they have fixed them, then I might even buy it, but no amount of extra content will persuade me to buy a flawed game.

from reading it, I got the impression that it was the latter

Excellent news.

I Hope we now get a 'real' first person perspective instead of the zoomed cam mode

after playing the demo, complete with "tap button B" prompts... I've never been so disappointed with a console conversion! Buggy is not the word, maybe I just got an early version from steam, but I always thought a demo was meant as a showcase for your product to entice you to buy, not for a half finished conversion which looks like it's being played on an emulator!

[/rant] ... anyhoo, it'll take a whole lotta extras to make me look twice, and tbh the game (at least on the 360) was pretty decent for a nonexistent-story-monotonous-shoot-the-monsters-weak-spot type game!

The options menu still invites you to customise your xbox 360 controller options. Clearly your supposed to by a controller for the PC

The update will be available on Friday 20th July. According to the Steam Forums.

The patch, which Capcom calls an automatic update, will weigh in at 400MB and will more than likely download and install over Steam as soon as it is released.

Lost planet is a steam game ?

The patch is out. Steam is updating as i type. Although very slowly
