Lost Planet is back - to the past!

Lost Planet 3 is set for early next year and will be a prequel to the first game.


it seems they have gotten a western developer to make the game and done away with the japanese style pretty boys, crisp but flaky graphics, awkward dialogue dubs, and the dramatic yet stiff body motions/animations. instead, it's become gritty and chunky with fluid animations and natural sounding dialogue. =D

apparently this time, it will be more story driven and focuses on the one main character, so there will not be story co-op. instead, they will reveal a new co-op and competitive multiplayer modes later on. it seems that instead of being missions and chapters, the story will be more of a hub and branching area exploration/survival kind of game where you have to collect upgrades and equipment to progress further.

mech piloting is back and although will be a more primitive unweaponized mining bot, it's much more massive and will feature first person piloting. i wonder how that will turn out. =D
one slight disappointmet i have is that the game seems to be excluding the grapple hook thing(think it was called anchor, but w/e), i hope i'm wrong because that thing made the game much more fun, and would be even more so if given quicker and more fluid mechanics.

so far, im liking all the changes, except for the story no longer being co-op. but if the co-op mode has splitscreen and has a lot of replay value, then i'll be content.

i love splitscreen co-op games with story and objectives, and there aren't enough of those around, especially with mechs and grapple hooks. lost planet 2 has a special place in my heart, despite the all the flaws it's got, it's tons of fun =D. im totally looking forward to this one =D
