If you happened to enjoy the E3 demo for Lost Planet 2 that all the journalists covered, game producer, Jun Takeuchi, has confirmed that the same demo will be headed to Xbox Live for everybody else to try out. The demo will also be keeping the 4 player co-op mode, that was shown off during E3, intact. When can you expect to download the demo? All Takeuchi had to say regarding the issue was, "Soon, I guess."

If you were jealous that we got our greasy, unworthy hands on a 4-player co-op demo of Lost Planet 2 during our ransacking of E3 2009, you can now cool your jets -- according to producer Jun Takeuchi during an appearance on Famitsu's "Midnight Live 360," the same demo is coming to Xbox Live "soon." Actually, Takeuchi's exact words were, "soon, I guess," a sentiment that doesn't exactly fill us with optimism regarding the actual soon-ness of the demo's release.

Takeuchi showcased a number of new features during the Famitsu program, such as computer-controlled bots, custom weapon sets and character customization, which he explained can be done using items you unlock in tandem with certain achievements. We don't know whether any of these features will be present in the demo -- but if it's as similar to the E3 demo as Takeuchi says, it should be radical enough without them.
