In what is definitely an interesting shake-up in the local game distribution scene, Activision Inc. announced today that it has entered into an agreement to become the exclusive distributor of Capcom Co. Ltd. titles in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

The commencement of the agreement coincides with the launch of the highly anticipated Lost Planet: Extreme Condition on the Xbox 360 platform in early 2007. In addition to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Activision will also be launching the critically acclaimed Okami, and God Hand.

"We are delighted to be working with one of the most admired Japanese video game companies in the world," said John Watts, Senior Vice President, Managing Director, Asia/Pacific Region, "the calibre of Capcom's products is second to none and this new relationship underscores Activision's commitment to bringing some of the world's biggest game franchises to the Australian and New Zealand markets. We are very excited to be working with Capcom and look forward to a long and successful partnership with them in this territory."

IGN contacted THQ's PR and Promotions Coordinator, Drew Taylor for comment on the situation and the reason for the split. He said, "All good relationships eventually come to end. We certainly enjoyed working with them - with [distributing] Dead Rising, for instance. But at the end of the day, these things happen - and they happen quite often in this industry. Capcom are also buying up in UK, so the company is obviously going in a new direction for a while. We wish them the best of luck in the future."

Gamers who grabbed Gears of War this week might have noticed a promotional insert in the package that mentioned a new downloadable multiplayer demo of Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. However, Capcom representatives wouldn't talk when asked about how soon that demo would hit the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The Collector's Edition of Capcom's chilly alien blast-fest, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, will give access to an exclusive multiplayer map that gamers who spring for the regular purchase won't be able to play until it's released as a free download next summer. Released alongside the standard game in January 2007, the special pack will also come bundled with a pretty book o' concept art, videos, music and a heap of digital ... » Read More

While most limited editions of games offer up the same helping of concept art books, making-of videos, and the occasional game soundtrack, Capcom is taking a different route.

The publisher is hoping that the Collector's Edition of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition convinces multiplayer maniacs to pay an extra 10 bucks not only for the requisite bonus goodies, but for exclusive early access to a multiplayer map. The Lost Planet CE will retail for $69.99 (versus the $59.99 standard edition) and hit shelves on January 12.

After the release of the Lost Planet demo over Xbox Live Marketplace, we nearly wet ourselves while experiencing the frozen wastelands and blazing firefights against bugs of unusual size. It's a good thing we didn't, though, because these new screens illustrate frigid tundra that would have probably caused our pants to become uncomfortably icy in the sub-zero temperatures. These screens highlight some of the more exciting abilities Lost Planet 's plucky protagonist Wayne has at his disposal. ... » Read More
