http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_gearsofwarmarcusdom.jpg In a collaboration with Capcom, American game developer Epic is lending Gears of War (http://kotaku.com/tag/gearsofwar/) main characters Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago to Lost Planet 2 (http://kotaku.com/tag/lostplanet2/).
The appearance of both characters was revealed in a trailer shown today at Xbox Japan's Capcom event.
It is believed that the characters will be available as exclusive downloadable characters for the Xbox 360 (http://kotaku.com/tag/xbox360/) and will not be appearing in the game's story mode.
This appears to be the "kick ass news" Gears designer Cliff Bleszinski has been tweeting about.
Lost Planet 2 designer Jun Takeuchi has long professed his admiration for Gears of War. The controls for Resident Evil 5 were influenced by the controls for Gears of War, and Takeuchi even referred to the revamped RE5 controls as "Gears-like".
