Lost Planet 3 Takes the Series Back to Its Icy Roots, Coming in Early 2013

The next Lost Planet game takes players back to the extreme conditions of E.D.N. III to battle the unforgiving environment of a frozen planet and its equally unforgiving fauna, the insectoid alien species known as the Akrid.

Lost Planet 3 is a prequel to the original game and currently in development at a Western studio, publisher Capcom announced at its Captivate event last week. Capcom has tapped Spark Unlimited (Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty) to handle the heavy lifting on Lost Planet 3, which is part third-person shooter, part first-person mech action game.

Lost Planet 3 Hell Yes!!!! and its looks to be more of a story driven game. Hope it has multiplayer like the last two games!!! Lost Planet was also one of the best multiplayer out there. Still to this day people are playing Lost Planet 1 and 2 multiplayer. The Akrid modes were great too.

thumbed down because of multiplayer talk.

Ashunderfire864413d ago

Ha 9 disagrees for speaking the truth. I guess the truth is always unpopular, but its true just look at the online community for these games. All you haters will play this game anyway.

A game that goes back to its roots by changing everything about the game. seems legit

HeavenlySnipes4413d ago

The IP always had potential. Its just that Crapcom never gave the game a real protagonist and a proper backstory. I wanted a more proven dev to get this, but all Spark Unlimited need to do is create a proper story and get the mech and ground combat right and we have a surprise big game

Not sure why people like it when a game is outsourced to another developer, especially Lost Planet.

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda1d 18h ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC

Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."

What a load of bull there blaming the npc load for there poor performance? the new hitman games has way more going on beyond that they are saying any pc cpu is not powerful enough?

In the article it is also stated a ign reviewr got motion sickness playing ps5/pc version but still enjoyed it? like wow if that was me i would knock it down alot and asked for a patch asap.

So those about to play thank denuvo get a barf bucket if your on pc play 720p because like cites skyline its going to be a unoptimized cpu mess.

Man those on series s/steam deck/rog ally rip :(

Just putting up a pcgamer review

"its janky has bugs poor performance need lots of updates 89/100"

Man have we dropped that quality bar for acceptable performance/optimization

andy8551d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Am I hearing that right, that reviewer with a 4090 is getting drops into the 20s when there's several NPC on screen. Sorry but there's zero excuse for that. BG3 had hundreds at a time on screen and that's a pretty game. What an absolute piss poor engine

just_looken51d ago

@andy

Yes the is correct but every review is giving it a past and or saying that its great that the performance is like the first ps3/xbox one game.

2012 20-30fps 2024 20-30fps dragons dogma keeping things the same reviewers like that apparently

just_looken51d ago

IGN put up a video showing the 4090 struggling aswell as console performance all versions are like the first game with fps issues.Remember dlss 3.0 can almost double your fps like that cyber punk video so without dlss on your looking at 30fps on the most powerful gpu that is out right now.

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani51d ago

@andy85 At launch BG3 dropped to under 30fps at the final chapter on 4090. I played the game at launch and had that experience. And that was with a 5800X3D. Everything watercooled and fine-tuned CPU/GPU and memory at 32GB with good timings, and a fast SSD etc.

just_looken51d ago

@tapani

I am sorry are we comparing a AA game with a small budget with alot going on 24/7 to a AAA game funded buy the billion dollar capcom?

You are right yes but that was patched and that team loves there community but if the first dogma said anything we should expect a patch or 2 but that is it.

andy8550d ago

@Tapani indeed but that was hundreds of NPCs. Not a few. It's piss poor

lellkay51d ago

Can they be aware of the need for 60fps on consoles plz

just_looken51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.

But that ps5 pro PSSR will no doubt be a hold back as i see very few devs make a fsr/dlss/pssr game like really sony why did you spend millions to make upscale tech on the 6800 when amd already has fsr 3.0 just sitting there.

I remember the ps4 pro patches that dwindle over time yes new games had the modes but they were not standard and that was without the base ps4 using another upscale tech.

Edit:

In tldr form devs now make fsr upscale for ps5/xbox PSSR upscale tech on ps5 pro game then dlss/fsr upscale tech pc version and we also have intels xess just insane workload

Eonjay51d ago

'Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.'

Perhaps but only if Capcom addresses the issues first. substantially more powerful hardware is struggling.

Furesis51d ago

I mean it's not helping but this is something more than that. Plenty of games with denuvo that work fine

just_looken51d ago

That could be also taxing for sure sense the ps5 also supports that dreadful drm

This is also running off the RE engine remember those re vids with the denuvo drm on/off

MrDead51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Project Zomboid a simple looking isometric game has a similar problem as the Zombies are CPU heavy. If this is the issue GPU tweeks won't do anything, you need less calculations per NPC or more static NPCs

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH51d ago

Well that’s just great…looks like I’ll be holding off on buying this on PC until it’s fixed. If I wanted low frame rates I’d just buy it in console smh…
