Capcom heeft vandaag niet alleen bekend gemaakt dat Lost Planet 2 op 15 oktober in de winkels ligt, maar dropte gelijk ook even benchmark voor de game online om te kijken of je PC al het grafische geweld wel aan kan. Hier is het persbericht en de links naar de benchmark.

The gigantic Akrid, epic environments, and heavily-armoured vital suits of Lost Planet 2 come to PC on October 15!

Featuring support for DirectX® 11 and DirectX 9, Lost Planet 2 delivers its Akrid-infested world in even greater detail. Through DirectX® 11 features, smoke will have lifelike volume and depth, water surfaces react realistically to player interaction and bullets, and bosses are rendered with more detail than ever before. Lost Planet 2 will also feature support for NVIDIA® 3D VisionTM and 3D VisionTM Surround technologies (wireless 3D Vision glasses sold separately) bringing the on-screen action to a whole new dimension.

Beginning today, Capcom and NVIDIA have released a preview of Lost Planet 2 on PC. Containing both a gameplay test and Direct® X 11 benchmark mode, this application allows gamers to test their PCs to ensure they get the optimum Lost Planet 2 experience.

The Lost Planet 2 preview includes:

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.
