Capcom’s German outlet has posted this lengthy clip giving us our first substantial look at Lost Planet 3 gameplay. Just skip through all the bits where German games writers are talking and you’ll see all the guns, snow and mechs you’d expect.
E.X. Troopers is the upcoming Lost Planet spin-off for the PS3 and the Nintendo 3DS. This debut PS3 trailer provides a good idea of what to expect — a comic book take on sci-fi action game Lost Planet.
Sporting a story-driven solo campaign and an immersive snow-covered setting, Capcom’s early Xbox 360 offering, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, stood out in a sea of samey sci-fi fraggers and me-too military shooters. Sadly, its sequel abandoned the very things-rich narrative, icy environments that helped its predecessor rise above the predictable lock-and-load pack. Thankfully, the recently revealed third instalment seems to be getting the series back on track.
News of Lost Planet 3‘s announcement leaked earlier today, but here are the official screenshots, revealed by publisher Capcom at the Captivate event in Rome earlier this month.
Former Capcom developer Keiji Inafune said recently at Ritsumeikan University that there was a time his old studio had a rule that 70 or 80 percent of games were sequels and the rest new games. New games weren’t usually approved—something Inafune hinted to Kotaku in 2006 when he said Capcom rejected both Dead Rising and Lost Planet. ファミ通]
