Lost: The Video Game - First Details

[Wriggy]

Lost the videogame will cast you as 'a survivor' of Oceanic Flight 815, awash on the mysterious island, with a simple goal: "Confront your dark past, seek your redemption, and ultimately find a way home".

We've seen the first gameplay footage and to us, Lost looks like a third-person explore-'em-up. With plenty of running. We were immediately reminded of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune by the lush jungle surroundings.

There's no confirmation on who you'll play, but we're guessing that it's Jack - he's the leader of the survivors, a go-get-'em type of guy, perfectly suited to an all-action videogame hero. Whoever you play, though, you'll be exploring familiar locations on the island, unravelling the show's mysteries (and hopefully some new ones) and shooting the breeze with the other lead characters, like Sawyer and Locke.

Ubisoft's official statement promises us that Lost the videogame will "allow players to experience an untold adventure of Lost in an immersive, interactive world". While the producers of the TV show seem impressed by the "amazing" visuals and "imaginative" narrative crafted by Ubisoft's designers.

Want more? Okay, how about this: part of the game will force you to face up to the eerie, clicking smoke monster. Will the Lost videogame unveil some of the Lost TV show's secrets? Here's hoping we'll have a great time finding out.

Keep an eye out for the gameplay trailer hitting soon.

Personally, I'm not interested but it seems it's definetly being released!

Sounds like a bore of a game to me, just something to grab some dosh from foolish fans.

What?

The game was 1st announced when the TV series was in overdrive, and people were going mad for it.

But still how exactly would it work. It's probably end being comprised of cutscenes rather than actual gameplay.
It just confuses me as to how they can make a game of this type of TV
24 the game failed because it was nothing like the tv show. No doubt the same will happen with the Battlestar Gallactica gane. I'm a fan of both tv series' which is why i don't think any game based on a tv show will work.
Another example is Family Guy the game. That wasn't exactly phenomenal.

I thought 24 the Game worked well, sure it was a bit short but it was a perfectly playable better than average game.

New trailer up, graphics for the island look quite good but not to sure about the look of the characters.

It will probably be ----e. But the series is still brilliant. And people who dont watch it but used to are lazy. humph...

[phatmuther]

Found this video of it. Wow, it looks REALLY boring, I get to follow some arrows? Hell yeah!

It also appears you'll be able to play on handed since all you seem to do is walk and thus no need to press buttons! w00t schm00t.
