The lights are on
Capcom today announced Lost Planet 3, due out for PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360 early next year.
The third game uses Unreal Engine 3, and is being developed by Spark Unlimited, the team behind Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, and Legendary. Here are the plot details:
Lost Planet 3 introduces Jim, a rig pilot who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Working for Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) who are preparing the planet for colonization, Jim joins his fellow pioneers at the Coronis base and begins surveying the uncharted terrain and obtaining samples of the planet’s energy supply – Thermal Energy.
With NEVEC’s existing Thermal Energy reserve running low the fate of the Coronis mission depends on the natural source of the energy supply being located. Realizing that this is a great opportunity for a huge pay-off and early ticket home to his family, Jim braves the risk of the treacherous environment and threat of the indigenous Akrid. Acting as a home away from home and boasting an array of tools that can assist Jim on the field, the utility rig provides Jim’s safety and is essential for not only his contract work but also his protection against the ever-changing climate.
Posted below is the debut trailer.
This looks like the mega awesome scifi hit the first two should have been, not that they weren't fun, but the first one was short and the story was kind of mediocre and cheesy, the second one had a good amount length, but the AI was terrible. Hopefully this one delivers better battles with a better story.
I like the story.
If they can make this game fun, I'm down. LP2 was disappointing as hell
This reminds me a lot of what one should've been.
man i loved 2, i hope they keep co-op
Awesome!
I'm glad that they're making there be a 1 true protagonist to this game. I enjoyed Lost Planet 2 and found it to have a lot of replay value due to the level up system; however, I never "connected" to any character in the campaign. So hopefully in 3, we'll enjoy "relating" to one character rather than playing as a bunch of different factions we don't really have a connection to or care about. Y'know what I mean?
Looks pretty awesome. The main character seems kind of like an idiot, but also kind of funny. At least he has a personality, unlike *cough* Wayne *cough*
does this mean that spark unlimited is not working on battlefront 3?
Hopefully this is in a way, a prequel.
Sweet. Hopefully they move away from the extreme focus on multiplayer though.
Well, this one could certainly be a step up from 2...

i liked the first two games i will give the game a shot.
love the first 2 and can't wait for this one!!!
Yes yes yes! LP2 was the first console game I ever played!
second game wasnt to good i dont know why they are making a third. they need to make battlefront that would sell well.
At least this CG is kicking some ass !!!!
Hope the gameplay will follow !
Man, I really liked the first, second was good, I hope it's not a downward spiral here...
