'Lost', 'Heroes' Videogames Debuted at Comic-Con

Posted by Zonk on from the 4-8-15-16-23-42 dept.

GameDaily reports that yesterday saw the debut of a trailer for the official Lost videogame. The game is slated for early next year, to coincide with the beginning of the fourth (and newly abbreviated) season of the show. Ubisoft Montreal is developing the game, and has apparently been working closely with the show's production staff. "Players will assume the role of a passenger on the ill-fated Oceanic flight 815 who survives the crash and is stranded on the uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean. As the player begins to unravel mysteries of the island, new secrets about your character are revealed. Players will have to understand their character's past mistakes in order to survive and find their way home. The game will incorporate familiar locations and will feature main characters from the show. Gameplay will involve solving puzzles, outsmarting enemies, battling the smoke monster, and overcoming many other challenges to survive the island and ultimately come out alive." Game|Life has some fleeting impressions of the trailer. There are also some scant details of a videogame version of the show Heroes , currently in pre-production by Ubisoft as well.

    Given the sagging ratings (and overall indifference of the general populace to the show) - wouldn't it have been much more intelligent to produce and release this game a few years ago? (You know - when Lost was actually popular?)

    Players will assume the role of a passenger on the ill-fated Oceanic flight 815 who survives the crash Darn, I was hoping to get to play as a Sleestak, and have on-line multiplayer games of Capture the Pylons.

    Hmm, well I found the 3rd season to be spotty at best, but my favorite so far is the 4th season.

    In the fifth season all the questions got answered, so I kind of started losing interest, especially after the robot penguin invasion.
