Lost Planet Text Size Fix

November 28, 2006

Lost Planet is Capcom’s upcoming game that looks incredibly awesome. Apparently there were some issues with text for SDTV users and Capcom has sent word that a fix has been implemented. In particular, during “Elimination” mode of the MP portion of the game where players’ scores are displayed at the top left of the screen, it was very difficult to read.

The final version of the game will detect if you are playing on an SDTV and adjust the text size.

Capcom also mentioned that they have taken some steps to make objectives more easily understood by delivering them as both voice over and text. Objectives now show up from the in-game PDA via the pause menu. Here are a few images that show the before and after text on an SDTV.
