A simple “Heck, yeah” brought Marcus and Dom to Lost Planet 2

Albert Wesker’s cameo in Lost Planet 2 announced back in November may have come as a pleasant surprise, but not entirely out of the ordinary. Capcom has been Shoryuken-ing with Mega Man and fighting with Marvel super heroes for a long time. Besides, they own Wesker anyway, unlike Marcus and Dom, who are from Gears of War, developed by Epic Games. Wondering how their cameo got down? With two simple words: “Heck, yeah.”

Albert Wesker’s cameo in Lost Planet 2 announced back in November may have come as a pleasant surprise, but not entirely out of the ordinary.

Besides, they own Wesker anyway, unlike Marcus and Dom, who are from Gears of War, developed by Epic Games. Wondering how their cameo got down? With two simple words: “Heck, yeah.”

“They [Capcom] contacted us about the cameo and we said ‘heck yeah,'” Cliff Bleszinski told Kotaku. “We’re mutual fans of each other’s work and crossovers are darned cool so we sent over the Marcus and Dom models for implementation.”

So the boys from gears of War will be hunting Akrid next. The models will be used, but what about the controls? “I can’t speak about the controls for LP2,” Bleszinski adds. “Anything else about how it’s accessed or used in game remains to be revealed. I’ll leave that to Capcom’s capable hands.”
