Today is both a good day and a bad day.
Worst part... I 'am still going through tissue paper like Garfield devouring lasagnas, but enough about my boring gripping.
I have witnessed with my own boggled eyes, a video in youtube shown in my wonderful SAMSUNG wide screen... a short trailer of the upcoming Lost Planet 2 game. It was just simply out of curiosity where I practically exhaled in disbelief.
In an unexpected and I daresay dangerously bold addition to the CAPCOM's Lost Planet fray. The signature chainsaw rifle wielding soldiers from the Gears of War universe, the bandana wearing scar face hero Marcus Fenix and his six Dom Santiago makes their appearance, the extra by all accounts towered their shadows stealing the spotlight from the main characters. The two Gears showed their stuff to the CAPCOM alien with a BANG, and they ended its exoskeleton hide with a BANG.
Wondering who asked who to put EPIC Game's supposed champions of humanity from their scorched and Locust infested world of Sera to the frozen world of E.D.N III? This completely unexpected crossover team up was forwarded by CAPCOM as their tradition to crossover characters from other productions. Albeit it has been seven years since its last crossover with another production house aka MARVEL vs CAPCOM 2, while CAPCOM's latest crossover success TATSUNOKO vs CAPCOM making mulah, and I cant wait to get my hands on it.
However, lets not get ahead of ourselves though. In actuallity, creating a crossover outside of fanfictions is not just difficult, it is a mountainous risk and the timelines to each respective franchises makes it difficult to either mesh together or rights to arrange the characters how they see fit.
It is like a dream, yes to see your favorite characters makin names in other universes, but this isn't 2003. Times change, and its pratically rare to see crossovers between universes. CAPCOM has made a very bold step in asking EPIC GAMES to guest star Marcus and Dom into the Lost Planet series, replacing the main charater from Dead Rising. I see great potential and could even make huge profit income, but if their only purpose is just for show... then it would really be a downer. These two are not just characters that you can just put like a piece on a checker board, they are a fighting force that rocked the gaming industry and raked in big dough that helped shift the economy.
If I ranked their Epic/Bad-ass status Marcus himself is in the reaches equally besides peaks such the likes of Master Chief, Kratos, Alex Mercer, Cole Mcgrath, Solid Snake, Dante and Bayonetta.
So the way I see it the outcomes will be Lost Planet 2 to somehow merge the two timeliness together to forge another Epic and bringing the money, or it will become a good reason for fans not to care about them, and become another elusive dream of quality earth shaking crossover game.
But what the heck?! IT STILL LOOKS AWESOMELY EPIC!
