So when does it arrive?
Capcom has revealed this morning that Lost Planet 2 will make its Windows PC debut on October 15. The game will support DirectX 11 (for better volume and depth of smoke, and realistic water surfaces) and DirectX 9.
In addition, NVIDIA's 3D Vision and 3D Vision Surround technologies will also be supported giving gamers a true 3D experience (3D Vision glasses required).
A preview of the game is currently available which includes gameplay and a DirectX11 benchmark mode to allow gamers to see if their PCs will be able to handle 3D.
The preview includes the following two tests:
Test A
The primary purpose of Test A is to give an indication of typical game play performance of the PC running Lost Planet 2. (i.e. if you can run Mode A smoothly, the game will be playable at a similar condition). In this test, the character's motion is randomized to give a slightly different outcome each time.
Test B
The primary purpose of Test B is to push the PC to its limits and to evaluate the maximum performance of the PC. It utilizes many functions of Direct X11 resulting in a very performance-orientated, very demanding benchmark mode.
