The other issue is
the insane amount of slowdown and frame rate drop. By now, since the game has been released on two different systems, you'd expect slowdown issues to be kept to a minimum, if it occurs at all. Not the case -- Lost Planet seems to crawl if you get more than five enemies on screen at once, and considering that the game frequently swarms you with Akrid monsters, this doesn't work well at all. The longest one that I noticed was close to 30 seconds in the middle of a battle, as I was facing off against Akrid and Nevec soldiers at the same time. That's pretty bad.
That brings me to another problem however, which is that
the game doesn't look good, especially if you've seen it on other systems. Compared to the 360 version and the PC, everything on the
PS3 version looks like its run through a gauzy, pixilated filter. Instead of finely detailed textures,
many of the game environments have blocky, rough textures and heavily aliased edges. Instead of fine particles for smoke or snow, the particle system is harsh and weakly defined. Character models look somewhat out of focus or blocky, especially when you are running through battlefields. It doesn't feel as though the game takes advantage of the PS3 at all.
This is particularly true when it comes to the multiplayer maps, many of which have been carried over to the PS3 from the downloadable expansion packs from Xbox Live.
The ground textures look extremely basic, the water demonstrates little to no physics whatsoever with bland texture work as well, and the game arenas don't look good either. What's more, online gameplay suffers from framerate drops with as few as two players in a battle. We were playing a game of Post Grab on our network in the office and noticed multiple hitches as we faced off against each other. While there are a few new character skins that are included for multiplayer, including Frank West from Dead Rising, Mega Man (which looks like Frank squeezed into the suit) and Luka, these aren't necessarily enough to make you feel like you're gaining anything extra or special with this game.
Graphics
Visually bland and rough, textures look like they're run through some strange filter. Details aren't too sharp, and the environments look extremely rough. Not the best presentation around.

estoy seguro de que en cuanto salga lo podré comprar de segunda mano por unos 30€ y por ese precio yo quiero pasármelo, las capturas que he visto de PS3 me parecen casi iguales que las de Xbox360 y lo del framerate...pues ya lo probaré y diré.
