If you’ve been following Lost Planet 2, you’re likely aware that the game will feature some relatively deep character customization options this time around. If not, now you know. To explain how some of these options work, Snow over at Capcom-Unity has posted a blog that details just what you can customize and how.

Weapons, for instance, are broken down into categories, and you can select a favorite from each. Snow points out that if you prefer a shotgun for your short-range weapon, that’s what will appear on the battlefield for your character. If someone drops a different short-range weapon like a flamethrower, it’ll be a shotgun when you go pick it up. Pretty cool stuff.

The post contains further info on costumes, taunts (called Emotes in LP2), and nickname tags like those seen in SFIV. There’s also some hints and teasing on unannounced features, along with answers to some of the more popular questions about the game. It’s a fun read if you’ve been looking forward to Lost Planet 2, and you can check it out here.

Rockstar has dropped some new media on our faces showing off some of the new things we have the ability to expect from Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony. In the video after the jump, we’re introduced to Armando and Henrique, two thugs you’ll be coming across during the game.

Rockstar also showed off a few new cars, including the APC tank. The tank has always been a big part of the Grand Theft Auto games and I was sad that there wasn’t one in Grand Theft Auto IV. Now that it’s coming in A Ballad of Gay Tony though, I’m going to spend countless hours just causing a ton of havoc on Liberty City.
