31st August: 14:50 GMT Peacefrog has kindly sent us a more detailed description based on the magazine article.
Hello, Little more videogame info for you. The Creative Director of the game Nicolas Eypert says the game won't solve the mystery, but " What it will reveal is the answer for your charactor...It's not necessarily the answer for the show, but it's maybe part of the answer." Elliot is an amnesiac photojournalist, and he should be considered one of the redshirts in the background.
Elliots story arc will "start in season One before the opening of the hatch, spans season Two, and covers a little territory from season Three." The game is targeted to the shows fans, "but not the fanatics". "It should be easy to play for anyone who's watched at least a few episodes, and knows several of the main charactors."
Confirmed charactors are: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, and Locke. They may have to use soundalikes for the voices. Main Losties will have a helpful role. Hurley will trade goods, Locke will lead you through the jungle and fix things, and Sawyer will "offer off-color nicknames for your charactor."
Story elements like females and their baby troubles will not be part of the game. Each episode will kick off will some sort of crisis shared by elliot and the other losties. For instance an early level has Elliot attempting to stop a fuel leak at the crash site before it blows everyone up. He will often use his camera to take photo evidence to show losties what he has found.
Elliot will have his own flashbacks that will explain his past, why he was in Sydney, and "what issues need resolving to escape the island." Some flashbacks will be triggered by converstions or certain items you find, and some will be fuzzy until you sort out more memories. Elliot will also gain access to the famed Dharmanet, and chat with people who may or may not be the Others.
Expect plenty of action too as you will be running from smokie, polar bears, and "Others snipers". The black Rock is confirmed, as well as a unstable dynamite level. D&C go on to say that making a new charactor was necessary because we already know what Jack and company were doing all this time. This story takes place in what Carlton describes as a parallel world to Lost. " It's not literally the same canon, it expands on certain things that are in the show, and it kind of follows its own path." Damon mentions that Elliot is able "to explore a couple of areas of the island that our charactors either haven't found, or have chosen not to explore.." Carlton follows by saying "the charactor explores things that you have seen on the show that you maybe wanted to know more about."
There are a few more minor tidbits that i will leave for you guys to peruse at Borders. The only new pics were of Locke w/ Hurley, the Hydra room Jack was held in, and the Black Rock. The Pics look great, and the GRAW engine is well known for its awesome explosion effects, so I am looking forward to palying this. At least a rental. On PS3 and Xbox 360 around the same time as the new season.

Update: 31st August Thanks to Leslie's a Bitchin Name for posting some additional information over in the Media Mentions section of the site.
Thanks to peacefrog for the following info on the new lost game.
This month's EGM magazine has a 4 page art. on the Game. Not much new info but they interview D&C about the way the story differs from the shows story. The game will cover the arc of a new charactor, Elliot, from the plane crash to the "answer" for this charactor. They hint that the game will include tons of easter eggs for fans, and may hint at answers for the show.
They plainly state however that no show answers would be given away, out of respect for the shows fans. The game will be seven 1 1/2 hour episodes with cliffhangers, playable flashbacks, cameos from most of the majors, and will cover seasons 1-3 from Elliots perspective. One cool thing to note was that D&C said that we will be visiting places that we may have wanted to see in the show, but never will. One example given was the area behind the cement wall in the hatch.
The hatch is gone now, but in the game the player will get to explore more thoroughly, and may even get to see where this magnetic force comes from!
The game runs on UBISOFTS Ghost recon advanced warfighter game engine, and is due around the same time as season 4. Hope this is news to you. Thanks, Peacefrog
Thanks for the great info Peacefrog/Dark. I av always wondered what some of the pics I saw that Dark posted a while ago were lol IE - The steel cage gate, that looked like if it was set underground, which may or may not be what lies behind that concrete wall of the swan hatch? & also that door that Jack was staring at.
On a whole, it sounds awesome & I can't wait to play it when it comes out on the Xbox360.
I bet if Jack or Sayid ever play this game, they will be relieved top find this answer lol
As much as I like the little nods to the show, it really upsets me that Cuse and Lindelof just couldn't answer the damn questions when they first brought them up.
I mean, come on. The cement wall appeared to be a HUGE secret waiting to be explored, but it was simply ignored. There has always been potential for a flashback with the hatch with Kelvin in it before Desmond arrives, which could have then answered this mystery. But that doesn't look likely now, and the swan is now a distant memory. Pretty amazing considering we spent the ENTIRE second season with it.
How is this new character for the game supposed to discover/explore anything that our main castaways haven't? The show already has enough complaints about the characters not disclosing/openly talking about the mysterious/discoveries on the island to one another, why translate that into the game?
This game will turn into the Nikki and Paulo centric episode where I yell at the screen and say "WHY DIDN'T THEY MENTION THIS TO EVERYONE ELSE! SEEMS PRETTY VITAL TO ME!"
I'm still very skeptical of this game. Everything that they promised/promoted sounds exactly like Enter the Matrix, and I was completely upset with that mess of a game.
Oh geezus, Dark, you really got me exited now. I have been DYING to know what was behind the cement wall since season two. Definetly in my top 10 questions I want answered.
But this Elliot character sounds interesting. What will become of him after season three? Will he die at the end of the game? Or will he be introduced in the show? Would be very cool to see the transition, especially if the actor who is going to play him was the model for the game.
I agree about the hatch secrets nixonslist. They opened so many questions about the hatch and then just blew it up, killing any seemingly reasonable way to answer those questions. ALTHOUGH, doc jensen metioned something called a swan orchid, which led me to believe that the orchid was the swan before the so-called "incident." In the orchid video, candle was wearing a swan Jacket. maybe if we get some sort of incident flashback, we'll get alot of history on the swan as well. We might not ever get to physically visit the cement place, but we might see something related to it.
emad- It's not really a wall, per-say. In the hatch when they tried to figure out why the wall was magnetic (remember jack's key around his neck?), sayid went under it and said he hadn't seen this much concrete since chernobyl. As far as I know, this is what they are referring to.
If 24 can get their actors to do it, why can't LOST?
It is already obvious that this game is a PS2 port to a next generation system, so could they at least add to the presentation value by spending some money to get the original actors to do the voices?
How hard is it to get Jorge Garcia to record "Dude" for the game?
Anyone noticed the message it says on the computer when lockes infront of it the second time, in the trailer for the game, it sounds, creepy, if Locke really has read the message.
Dude, I wanna see the MAGNET!!!! Finally, a true answer to where the computer was connected too! The game is going to rock so hard, especially with the Ghost Recon engine!!!!!

Officially the greatest thing ever.
GRAW's engine is awesome. This game will be godly.

Still hoping, though.
Dudes, I'm not sure about all of you, but I'm, REALLY looking forward to this game, the expectations are HIGH here.

Only time can tell =]

i'm really excited for the game.
refresh my memories fellas...what was the cement wall again? is the electromagetic device behind that wall?
I was really worried that this game would suck when I first heard the rumors. But now! Holy cow, I think I need to pre-order 5 copies!
emad- It's not really a wall, per-say. In the hatch when they tried to figure out why the wall was magnetic (remember jack's key around his neck?), sayid went under it and said he hadn't seen this much concrete since chernobyl. As far as I know, this is what they are referring to.
They've said that the game will be out in 2007, but "when" of 2007? Are they gonna release it before season 4?
Also, using soundalikes is NOT cool.
If 24 can get their actors to do it, why can't LOST?
It is already obvious that this game is a PS2 port to a next generation system, so could they at least add to the presentation value by spending some money to get the original actors to do the voices?

God.
Anyone noticed the message it says on the computer when lockes infront of it the second time, in the trailer for the game, it sounds, creepy, if Locke really has read the message.
OOOOOOOoooooOooOoOOOOhhhhH!!!
That is so cool. I can't wait.
Just imagine using the dynamite: The faster you go, the more the bar goes up.
You're walking. And then...
KABOOM!!!! Game Over.
Dude, I wanna see the MAGNET!!!! Finally, a true answer to where the computer was connected too! The game is going to rock so hard, especially with the Ghost Recon engine!!!!!
