Capcom updated its plans regarding the GameSpy server shutdown for a collection of games, including Lost Planet 3 and Street Fighter III: Third Strike — Online Edition.
With GameSpy multiplayer shutting down at the end of this month, hundreds of games are being affected, including quite a few titles from Capcom. First off, Lost Planet 3 for PC and PlayStation 3 will have a server migration, which has already begun, according to the company. However, the switch will reset the leaderboards and player stats for these two versions, while the Xbox 360 edition is unaffected by the changes.

All versions of Age of Booty and Flock, however, will see online integration go away with the GameSpy shutdown May 31. Capcom notes that players can still enjoy Age of Booty offline or with other people via LAN. As for Flock, the level editor sharing function will no longer be active after this month.
Finally, to finish with some good news, Street Fighter III: Third Strike — Online Edition and Marvel vs. Capcom Origins have already had service migrations and there aren’t any issues. Players can keep enjoying these games online.
Each company is approaching the GameSpy server shutdown differently. Rockstar plans on keeping its back catalog of games active online, while EA is hoping to transition servers for some of its games, committing to continued support specifically for Battlefield 2, Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 2142.
