Lost Planet 3 |OT| Yes the game exists and yes its coming out soon.
- Thread starter Casimir
- Start date
LP1 demo was my most played game back then in the beginning of this gen and one of the first true next-gen games. Hard to believe WTF Capcom did here. LP2 was good too but the campaign was meh and the online coop had lot of flaws.Remember how big Lost Planet once was? I was one of those who waited with "next-gen" until PS3 came out... but I swear, every time I saw Lost Planet being played on a 360, I wanted to throw money at the counter and buy a 360. The environments were gorgeous and it had a solid feel to it.
Then came Lost Planet 2 and that had coop and only a few really cared about it.
And here we are today, Lost Planet 3... and no one gives a shit.
Fuck, this saddens me... I thought this franchise was gonna be end up being a lot better
I'm not even sure why Capcom did 3. No marketing at all and NeoGAF talked more about the game in the past days than Capcom. So sad to see such a big potential been thrown away like this...

I have been a Major fan of the series since the first trailer, I have every version of the game that came to the UK and a few Imports too! And I agree it is saddening to see the series not get the hype that its two other games got.
Man the series was fun
Lost Planet Extreme Conditions
Lost Planet Trag Zero
Lost Planet Extreme Conditions Colonies
Lost Planet 2
Lost Planet 2 (Cell/Mobile)
E.X. Troopers
and the lesser know Akrid Attack and Akrid Attack 2.
But lets see if this does touch the roots of the series and can revive it again.

Soooo no more players co-op'ing taking down giant monsters via multiple methods? Just Mass Effect 3's multiplayer? Bleh.
I hate how few games dare to be epic in scope. God of War 3 got me excited for a future of giant bosses of massive scale. Lost Planet 2 got me excited for an era of gaming where several players could take down such massive beasts in an array of different and exciting ways. Jumping into a bosses stomach while 2 players man a rail gun, on a speed train, while another player is tailing the boss in a helicopter. That's just nuts.
Nope. That didn't catch on. But Horde mode sure as hell did.

Ugliest characters in a videogame ever (among GTAV protagonists)?

They shouldn't have lied and said it supported single-player then. As a sp game it was dreadful.

I have never really been hooked by this series, but on a whim, I imported EX Troopers and loved it. I am sad that we won't be getting that, but this instead.

I'll buy it eventually. The original Lost Planet is still the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game, so hopefully there's a strong, long lasting community here too.

This one for some reason looks good - but who knows.

Hardly even a white lie, it does support single player
Anyone know when the embargo is? Would love this to be good or at the very least so hilariously awful as to inspire legends.

It doesn't look all that bad. Think I may give it a whirl. I like big boss fights

Anyone know when the review embargo drops? I'm very curious about knowing how this game turns out, it doesn't seem too bad from what I've seen.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Problem is, its done by the same people who brought us Legendary and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.
Keep your expectation real lowww.

It really doesn't look that bad. I want to still wait for reviews though.
The OP's synopsis is LoL!

Yup. I had no idea LP3 was coming out until seeing this thread. :/

Never got on the train writing this off before the final product was presented to us. Would like to be pleasantly surprised...otherwise will simply move on.

The developer makes it hard to not want to, hope can't hurt anyone here though I suppose.

What were Capcom thinking?
We want Lost Planet, not Dead Mass Space Planet Effect.

Hope is a stronger word than warranted here. Curiosity attended by no ill will is more the gist.
The worst part is that Lost Planet 2 was so ridiculously packed full of content that they could have built a Lost Planet 3 on the cheap, re-using LP2 assets, and even 90% of the people who actually played LP2 would have thought that the stuff was all-new.
Lost Planet 2 was an absolute masterpiece that tanked because they did a remarkably poor job with the game's fit-and-finish, and basically left the player up to their own devices to learn how to play a game that both required the player to learn new skills that aren't developed in other shooters, and didn't make it at all clear to the player that this was the case. A game along those lines that actually paid attention to teaching new players the skills they need to have fun with it and being a little more penetrable could have been really huge, with a relatively tiny development cost, without changing the (absolutely fucking fantastic) core mechanics of the franchise. There's really no excuse for throwing the baby out with the bathwater on this one.

I always forget about this game until GAF reminds me again... I'm not sure if I'll even remember about it tomorrow
and sadly I'm serious

Me too. Lucky to see 100k copies imo
DMSPE is a day 1 purchase for me.

My man. LP2 is top-shelf coop and a misunderstood classic. Incredible nuance and oodles of content.

I honestly think the game should have stayed snowy in most areas though. Game looked best when it was snowy imo.

I dunno. I actually quite liked the variation. Could have done with more jungle!
I feel bad for those who joined the team specifically FOR this game.
Anyone who worked on Legendary or Turning Point deserves the skepticism. They created two of the worst shooters this generation and have a LOT to prove. If Lost Planet 3 were to somehow turn out decent I would be pleasantly surprised but until we know one way or another I will remain skeptical.
There were a few people that had worked on those games (Legendary and TP) at Spark in the past, but the majority of the team on LP3 came on to LP3 and at Spark for the first time.

Is Lost Planet 2 any good with just 2 people? Or do you need 4?
It doesn't. If you were expecting anything similar to LP or LP2, you're not going to get it here.
LP3 is more akin to deadspace than anything resembling LP.
Yeah I had read that a while ago too, apparently it's near enough a 'new' company in terms of the folks working there.

Lost Planet 1 was an interesting game for its time, but I found its controls to be terrible. Lost Planet 2 is one of the worst games I've played this gen. This third game seems to be sent out to die and I don't know what to make of it. Doesn't bode well that Capcom itself doesn't seem to bother.
...why?
For $35 bucks at GMG I choose to believe.

ooooooooooooh, the worst game contest!
Can I throw in Bulletwitch and Haze for good measure? Remember you promise to merino? What, you don't? ALL THE BETTER!
Please do proceed to play Haze to check what I'm referring to. I'm pretty sure it somehow it signals dem aliens to mess with your brains.
I am not crazy.
also no aliens.ontopic:
Yeah, they deserve scepticism, but I also think there's really nowhere to go but up from where they started, which were also both published by the quickly defunct GameCock.
I mean: making a game with no resources is kind of hard and I don't particularly blame them for producing games of that particular quality in that time frame with that lack of resources.
If anything, this game should show whether they can do better when to do have access. It does look like it from where I stand, but with Capcom clearly sending this out to die, they may not agree. It's a shitty position to be put in, imo.
And for the record: LP1 looked great at launch and all, but replaying the game made me realize the controls are shit, and that last boss: LOL, no.
LP2 bored me to tears, so I will take what I can get that isn't total shit, to be honest.
