Gears of War protagonists Marcus and Dom are appearing in the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2. Gears of War is developed by American studio Epic, while Lost Planet is from Japanās Capcom. How did this crossover happen?
Capcom contacted Epic. It seems that itās as simple as that. āThey [Capcom] contacted us about the cameo and we said āheck yeah,'ā Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski tells Kotaku. āWeāre mutual fans of each otherās work and crossovers are darned cool so we sent over the Marcus and Dom models for implementation.ā
For Lost Planet 2, Capcom is working from Epicās original Marcus and Dom character models, but that does not necessarily mean it is working from Epicās Gears of War controller layout.
āI canāt speak about the controls for LP2,ā Bleszinski adds. āAnything else about how itās accessed or used in game remains to be revealed. Iāll leave that to Capcomās capable hands.ā
