I second JuanLeche’s suggestion for this and future Capcom games.

Many PS3 owners out there have slightly older HDTVs that don’t support 720p. Thus, if a game does not support 1080i output, none of them will be able to play the game (in a reasonable resolution).

It would be greatly appreciated and helpful if Capcom were to enable 1080i or 1080p upscaled output support in Lost Planet, other future games, and if possible patch DMC4.

The biggest obstacle to many developers implementing upscaling in their games is lack of awareness. There IS a scaler chip inside the PS3 that can output 1080i/1080p, but it requires the developer’s awareness, acknowledgement, and implementation of it.

Check out this short Beyond3D technical article for information on how to easily enable 1080p support in all PS3 games: http://www.beyond3d.com/content/articles/16/2

Capcom is the new EA

Stop giving us games that do not support 1080 and there fore not in HD on all HDTVs

you are sacrificing money and losing customers by not implementing 1080 scaling

it is disapointing to see a once big company fail at doing what others can easily do.

Turok was patched the day after release to include 1080 upscaling, please do the same for DMC and Lost Planet

@MrCamo
I would not agree with you on that, the more demos the better, and if it prevents people who don’t like it from buying it, then that’s a major plus… I personally didn’t care for Lost Planet one bit, until I tried the demo, it’s not so bad, kinda’ reminded me of a mech-riddled Socom.
Grappling hooks were great fun, and the aiming was hokey but at least it felt different’ than everything else… I’m more un-impressed with Capcom than I am with any of their titles, which are usually quite amazing.

And why the hell are people rating this topic down, I think it’s good of Sony’s blog to inform us when crap like this happens so we don’t go and try to find the demo, or try to use our demo to get online and can’t, and just end up getting frustrated, thank you Sony for keeping us informed.

I would not put the Demo back up if you want to sell this game. I have already deleted this game from my HD, as it was not that great.

Well said Kedaro. Its a shame how corporations are willing to punk out and spit in a couple faces for money – the ultimate lame move.

Attn:Capcom

For the record, the players you’re neglecting atm, are the ones that built your company via’ our hard earned dollars, buying into your great franchises that you keep tossing around exclusively for more money, first you did it to us on ps2 when you started to favor GameCube for your Resident Evil series we all loved, sure you gave us DMC, but then you take it’s exclusivity away this generation, I think people in general just aren’t going to follow you as a company for much longer unless you are 100% multi-platform, which let’s face the facts here, your higher ups won’t let happen, because their wallets be hungry for exclusive rights kind of $$$$$

The demo was decent, I like it in some ways… what I don’t like, is contributing to a company that turned it’s backs on it’s true hardcore fanbase, everyone thought companies like Capcom etc. favored Sony, and in doing so rushed out to back our system of choice on day one, giving the competition a game first, then porting over back to us, is a ridiculous state of affairs, and when the industry starts just being about how much a company can make, over what can we make, we’ll truly be in collective turd hole, swimming in exscrement… thanks Capcom! for at least bringing DMC4 to us. on time. That and RE5 could be the last games I ever buy from you guys… we’ll see.

I am so disappointed with Capcom.

This game was their big surprise that was to win back the hearts of PS3 owners after they gave DMC4 to 360? It is nothing more than a poorly executed port!

It’s working fine for me now. In an unexpected surprise, this game is actually awesome! I just pre-ordered it, I was that impressed with the demo. :)
