Lost Planet It was a magnificent tps that lasted for a time as exclusive to Xbox 360, to later make the jump to PC and PS3, with a somewhat dubious conversion on the Sony. The second installment passed with more pain than glory and it was a program that tried to distance itself from the original in some aspects, with some brushstrokes along the way. Monster Hunter.
The announcement of the third installment was a surprise to the fans, but the joy had to be contained when it was detailed that it would be the infamous study Spark Unlimited who would be in charge of the development of the game. Without going any further, this Lost Planet 3 is his best game, but of course, you have to know how to qualify those words.
Even with a track record that includes clunkers of the caliber of Legendary y Turning Point, Capcom has relied on Spark Unlimited to carry out this franchise that fell into oblivion with an anodyne second part. If we add to this the situation that the Japanese woman is going through, so that hunger meets the desire to eat.
Although the story of the first game was somewhat absurd at its starting point (revenge on a wild animal?), Lost Planet It was a fun and dynamic tps, with a great, icy atmosphere. Although this work of Spark Unlimited tries to get closer to those origins, also taking up the driving of fuses and introducing a certain touch of suspense at specific moments (remembering, very vaguely and keeping a more than prudent distance, to Dead Space)
The plot is well knitted and they have managed to follow it with some interest thanks to the good use of the narrative with videos. Surprisingly, the protagonist will not be another typical burly space marine or handsome in distress: Jim peyton he is a most common type.
One of the playable features of the first Lost Planet it was that when we went outside we needed to recover thermal energy so as not to freeze to death. This energy came from containers we were shooting at or from the enemies themselves. For some it was an interesting addition that pushed to push the player to advance without rest, while the more leisurely players found it somewhat irritating.
Well these seconds will be happy in this Lost Planet 3, because the suit of Peyton It is capable of generating heat to keep it alive and shooting the akrid will only give us a bargaining chip to buy or improve equipment. Certainly, the part of tps, after all, is too generic or even basic, being surpassed by some that other renowned games, especially now that we are in the twilight of the generation of PlayStation 3 y Xbox 360.
The hackney Unreal Engine has been used to give life to Lost Planet 3 and this has resulted in a game that does not end up looking bad, but that is not exactly going to dazzle us. The scenarios are not very varied, but the snow light effects are achieved and help to recreate a better visual experience. Some akrid modeling will look a bit familiar, while the characters and mecha are not badly detailed.
At the end of the campaign, we will have a multiplayer mode for up to ten players who will have to fight each other in different scenarios (although there is not a great variety of them) while the akrid roam at ease making life impossible for the human contenders . It is not as addictive as other multiplayer modes of famous programs, but it is an addition that publishers force to add to games since they are usually mines from which to extract microtransactions via dlc.
Lost Planet 3 Is a love and I can not. It is clear that where there is none, it cannot be obtained, and that is what happens with Spark Unlimited. There are some ups and downs in the development of the adventure, the loading times on consoles are tedious, the fights in mecha end up tiring, the confrontations with bosses are repetitive and the gunplay ends up being too conventional and at times even simple. If you are a lover of the genre, it can be an option to kill a boring Sunday afternoon, but as long as we talk about a rental or purchase at a super bargain price, to avoid hard feelings.
