Lost Planet 3
Lost Planet 3 introduces Jim Peyton, 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 not only for his contract work but also his protection against the ever-changing climate.
Lost Planet 3 will deliver a diverse range of gameplay including on-foot battles and intense first person action. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost Planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths within the unique and dynamic environment of E.D.N. III.
The extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterized the Lost Planet series return, harsher than ever before.
Lost Planet 3 reveals new truths about the foreboding planet and the colonial history of E.D.N. III.

Lost Planet 3 – Destructoid
Farming out the development of a respected IP can work wonderfully. Just take a look at Dead Rising 2, a solid attempt to follow-up an insanely popular zombie-fest with mostly positive results. Blue Castle Games did such a good job that it was actually acquired by their employer as Capcom Vancouver.
On the flipside, Lost Planet 3 is a perfect example of how farming out existing IPs to western developers can go terribly wrong.
Lost Planet 3 (PC [reviewed], PS3, Xbox 360)
Developer: Spark Unlimited
Publisher: Capcom
Released: August 27, 2013
MSRP: $59.99
Rig: Intel i3-2370M, with 8GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 555 GPU, 50fps average performance, Windows 8 64-bit, DirectX 11
Lost Planet 3 starts on an almost immediate high note, and kind of just tumbles from there. Jim Peyton, the humble engineer and family man is the star of the show, telling the game’s story while trapped under some rubble. But while the intro attempts to tell this grand tale of intrigue on the deathbed of a sympathetic old man, the story distills down to shooting some bugs, and then shooting some giant enemy crabs for massive damage. Oh, and it’s a prequel to the first few games — but you wouldn’t really notice that (or care) for the vast majority of the campaign.
Once again, those neon insect Akrids still won’t quit, and this time, they’ll be crawling around in a pseudo open world environment.
But despite the attempt at creating a true survival horror sandbox, a lot of heart is sacrificed in the process. For starters, Lost Planet 3 operates more like a cheap Dead Space game than an actual Lost Planet entry. I get the vibe Spark Unlimited was going for, but really, the botched horror reveals and general cheap feel of the game ruins any attempt at a memorable atmosphere.
“Cheap” is probably the perfect word actually, as a litany of issues contribute to an overall shoddy sense of atmosphere. One of the biggest offenders is the fact that many background elements such as enemies are pre-rendered, and can’t actually be shot or interacted with. You know how in a survival horror game when a creature shows up and the game limits your ability to shoot it so it can set up a scene? Lost Planet 3 kind of just lets things run free for the heck of it, leading you to think you can fight certain enemies when you can’t. All of the game’s characters also feel dull, and as forgettable as its environments.
But the presentation isn’t the only under-developed facet of Lost Planet 3, as it has a ton of mechanical issues as well — most notably, the criminally unfun sandbox element. There’s a bread crumb-esque trail that leads to every single mission, but in addition to it killing any real need to explore, it’s also problematic. The visual objective marker is straight-up broken half the time, leading you back to areas you’ve already been, into a corner, or in a completely wrong part of the map.
The open world doesn’t really feel “open” at all — more like a series of desolate samey tundras and Final Fantasy XIII-esque tunnels. After about four hours of backtracking into an area that felt the exact same as an area I had just been to, with the objective marker wildly sending me into an empty corner, I had felt the sting of Lost Planet 3 in full force.
Combat is also incredibly simple and will hardly test even the most novice of action fans. The principle reason for this is the broken dodge button, which allows you a giant window of opportunity to enact a special dodge animation for most enemies, leaving their giant pulsing orange weak spots vulnerable. For a few mini-boss encounters, this is fine, but when every enemy in the game can be bested by super-dodging and smashing orange goo, it gets old quick.
As if you couldn’t get enough QTEs, Lost Planet 3 hammers them into your brain because, well, reasons I guess. There aren’t a whole lot of them, but the ones that do show up feel pointless and thrown in for the sake of it. The “Rigs,” (the game’s mechs) are the main problem in the campaign, as they feel like one giant QTE.
A few Rig “highlights” are literally fighting giant enemy crabs, and slowly walking around the map at a snail’s pace. With your mech, all you can really do is block at the right time to counter a blow, grab an appendage with your claw hand, and then drill it for massive damage. Lather, rinse, and repeat, sometimes for five minutes and you have yourself a boss fight. Whether you’re using the Rig or on foot, boss fights are distilled down to nothing more than “shoot at the orange weak point for massive damage.”
Multiplayer is the saving grace of Lost Planet 3, but it doesn’t really offer up anything you haven’t seen before. Amidst a sea of typical 5v5 multiplayer gametypes across six maps, there’s also a horde-like mode that’s mildly amusing called Akrid Survival. In a nutshell, it plays like your typical horde mode at first with two teams competing with one another, but then the map opens up and allows both teams to fight amongst themselves with the Akrid in the middle.
All of your earnings can be used to power up the “Progression Sphere,” which is basically Spark Unlimited’s take on Final Fantasy X‘s Sphere Grid, allowing you to take your character into multiple directions of your choosing. But while it is a neat mechanic, you most likely won’t be compelled to keep playing to actually earn them, and considering the PC version uses GameSpy support, you may not even find any games in the near future.
Just as how The Bureau: XCOM Declassified was a watered down focused tested version of Mass Effect, Lost Planet 3 feels like a watered down Dead Space. Any redeeming qualities of the Lost Planet franchise are dead and gone, leaving a husk of its former self. Capcom has recently stated that they’re moving back into more internal development, and for their sake, I sincerely hope they keep a better eye on their IPs in the future.
Overview of Lost Planet 3
The Lost Planet series, despite the excellent surroundings and atmosphere, is constantly pursued by failures. The first part was drawn out and monotonous, and the second part was so carried away by the race for graphics and feeding the player hundreds of enemies that it completely lost all the originality of the gameplay. With the release of the third part, Capcom seemed to be able to put together good ideas that just lacked completeness.
However, if we return to history, we can say that Lost Planet 3 was a kind of dark horse. Capcom did not invest in a massive PR campaign, occasionally releasing trailers and screenshots, and most of the video sequence was devoted to bonuses for pre-ordering the game. However, the publisher did the right thing when they postponed its release for six months. nine0003
At times it’s breathtaking to see what amazing features the developers had At times it’s breathtaking to see what amazing features the developers had
At first glance, we can tell that we have a really powerful project from a not very famous studio. The guys at Spark Unlimited tried their best to make sure that Lost Planet 3 is an enjoyable experience from the very beginning to the very end. Be that as it may, the developers succeeded most of all in the plot and gameplay, each of which is completely superior to the original game, and after a failed Lost Planet 2 gives moral satisfaction at all.
Come here in large numbers
Our protégé, Jim Payton, arrives on the frozen planet E. D.N. III, with a simple and understandable goal — to earn money to feed his wife and child. The planet from the first minutes shows its violent character and the hero is saved literally by a miracle. Natural conditions at E.D.N. III is much tougher than in the first part and it is felt even through the monitor screen. Severe frosts, ice, constant snowstorms — all this gives Lost Planet 3 is a great environment and atmosphere. Perhaps, the «Lost Planet» has never been so alive and original as in its third reincarnation.
Akrid looks at Payton as a guest workerAkrid looks at Payton as a guest worker
Of course, local residents, they are Akrids, who are dissatisfied with people who have come in large numbers in search of cheap energy, and are trying to destroy them in every possible way. True, here the imagination of the designers failed. If in the first part the locusts were strange opponents, in the second — real predators, then in the third they are more like flowers. So, for example, «tulips» attack in melee, and «bouquet of roses» throws fireballs. This causes a smile, but not fear or a sense of danger. nine0003
Players familiar with other Spark Unlimited projects will grin. No wonder, because their other game, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, has collected a bunch of negative reviews. Then the studio poorly implemented the shooting, the main character did not evoke any emotions, and the heap of QTE scenes was completely disgusting. But in Lost Planet 3, they did a really titanic job and took into account past mistakes: shooting is good regardless of the weapon chosen, the plot is worked out, and QTE elements only add excitement. nine0003
Hands up and show documents
The combat system, unlike the previous games in the series, really did not let us down. There are no problems with aiming and firing, or with the control of the main character. Despite the small number of weapons: a pistol, a shotgun, a machine gun and a rifle, they are all usable and will make the locusts give up their life-giving thermal energy.
On the other hand, in some places you really have to puzzle over tactics and not ask for trouble. Akrids will simply kick the player if he is in the epicenter of their swarm. If you want to survive, shoot frozen bastards from afar and destroy spawn points before they revive a new enemy. Large enemies can deal even more damage to the protagonist, so you need to accurately shoot at the red dots on their body. nine0003
The good news is that weapons and equipment can now be improved by increasing damage or clip size, and heat energy is no longer spent on ammo and life support. Your battle partner, the huge mech, can also be upgraded. The improvements made will significantly increase your chances of survival, however, there is still nowhere to put the money — cartridges are replenished automatically, and weapons are bought once and for all.

Speaking of furs. Lost Planet 3 does not feature the usual exoskeletons stuffed with weapons, as in previous games in the series. Instead, humanoid robots are used, equipped with claws, drills and drills. With their help, you can smear a huge locust against the wall and drill through its head, or quickly tighten loose fasteners on the base while listening to great music in the mech’s cabin.
This machine is what makes boss fights so exciting. In the past parts, they were very tiring, but here, on the contrary, I want to repeat it again. And the very existence of such a game element will change your view of the design of locations and gameplay possibilities. After all, what could be better than giant robot battles with giant bosses? nine0003
Periodically, hordes of locusts and their fearsome bosses intersperse with Nevec soldiers. And then it’s not so fun. Human opponents are controlled by a dull artificial intelligence, and powerful weaponry makes them deadly in close combat and does not allow them to stick out of cover.
The promised big world and freeplay have sunk into oblivion. Rather, the player has a set of corridor locations, the main task of which is to run there, bring or kill something. In addition, locations are repeated in a number of the same type of secondary tasks and this is annoying. It’s good that the search for thermal energy will allow you to find a lot of secrets and bring additional credits. nine0003
What is the purpose of the visit to E.D.N. III?
One of the main advantages of Lost Planet 3 is an interesting plot. At first, you may be bored, but in the future it gains momentum and with each new chapter the story becomes more and more interesting. It is well known that in Lost Planet 3, the Nevek corporation has not yet become the enemy of all bipedal inhabitants. On the contrary, it creates conditions on the planet that make it suitable for human life. However, it is Jim Peyton who will reveal her dirty secrets and start a fight against her. nine0003
There really were more dialogues There were indeed more dialogues
He turned out to be a noble defector — not only did he spoil his own campaign, but also set the heat on the Akrids. And all this when it’s -50 degrees outside. Why not a real superman? And in order to warm up the intrigue and make the player empathize with the hero, the developers came up with many dramatic cut-scenes, text and audio recordings, as well as video diaries that Payton and his wife exchange.
Another plus is good jokes and non-standard dialogues. The scriptwriters knew what they were doing, and instead of formulaic phrases about saving the world and bombastic speeches, they simply showed ordinary working days. The localizers also did their best, conveying the meaning of the phrases in the subtitles almost correctly. And the conversations themselves have finally become an order of magnitude larger, so you can chat with secondary characters, find out their opinion about the current situation and thoughts. Who knows, maybe one of the random passers-by will tell you a couple of important details? nine0003
Something suspicious in your face
The MT Framework 2.0 engine, familiar to us from Lost Planet 2, Capcom sent to the dustbin of history. And in vain. The graphics in the second part were really great, and what the old Unreal Engine 3 shows in the third part looks just tolerable. From the first frames of the game, it becomes clear that the developers did not pursue the graphics.
The developers overdid it with the face of the protagonist — he looks more like a simple collective farmer than a harsh man accustomed to cold weather The developers overdid it with the face of the main character — he looks more like a simple collective farmer than a harsh man accustomed to cold weather
Of course, by radically changing the setting from dense jungle to flat ice tunnels, the developers threw away a huge amount of work, thereby saving the publisher. However, even in this case, the game locations clearly lack details. If only graffiti were painted on the ice walls or frozen locusts were placed under the ice. Sometimes it’s so boring to move through all these ice tunnels…
Do you have a work permit?
Multiplayer in Lost Planet 3 is not as remarkable as the single player mode. Its main feature is the constantly changing goals of the round. In one of the modes, for example, you must first survive the attack of Akrids, and then destroy the rival team. A couple of popular modes migrated from the second part, such as team clash or survival. nine0003
If you enjoy the single-player game, then the multiplayer will also draw you in, but not for long — a couple of months at most. Its problem is that it is very monotonous and the player is only required to score points, that is, there is no competitive element.
On the other hand, this is the only place where you can somehow work together. Perhaps the devs should have made a two-player co-op playthrough rather than trying to lift the heavy burden of multiplayer states. Indeed, it would be quite interesting to play as Payton and his wife, for example. nine0003
Multiplayer is made without any frills. Maybe it’s for the best? Multiplayer is made without any frills. Maybe it’s for the best?
Conclusion
Lost Planet 3 will suit those who are tired of the variety of possibilities in modern shooters. If you are tired of asking yourself before the battle — “Which is better, assault or support?”, Then Lost Planet 3 is your choice. There is nothing better than to take a shotgun, get into mechs and go to catch positive emotions from simply destroying various enemies, without thinking about the consequences of your choice. nine0003
And the developers from Spark Unlimited managed the impossible. From a simple studio developing third-rate shooters, it has turned into a team worthy of playing in the top division, and if it goes on like this, then it may well reach the world level.
