Lost Planets, Resident Evil: Code Veronica get Xbox One backward compatibility today
Lost Planet, Lost Planet 2, Lost Planet 3, Lost Planet Colonies, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X are all being doinked with the Xbox One backward compatibility wand today, Microsoft has announced (just not in those words).
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition originally released on Xbox 360 in 2006, and its sci-fi-infused, third-person shooting action was - according to creator Keiji Inafune - directly inspired by Bungie's Halo,. There was much to like about Lost Planet - most memorably, the striking sub-zero ambience of E.D.N. III, its ice planet setting, and its menagerie of frequently enormous enemy creatures - but its mission structure and shooty bits weren't quite so compelling. As a result, Eurogamer awarded it an old-school 7/10 back in the day.
Later instalments in the series shook things up considerably, with the second game ditching the solitary exploration of part one, in favour of a somewhat more gung-ho four-person multiplayer adventure across a variety of climes. Unfortunately, that shift lead to an experience that struggled to make its action particularly gratifying for solo players, and was simply too compromised to satisfy in co-op play.
