A trailer from Captivate has shown that Spark Unlimited is developing the game for a 2013 launch on PS3 and 360.
Capcom is set to launch Lost Planet 3 next year, the game’s debut trailer from Captivate has announced. The video got out ahead of a general 4pm embargo this afternoon.
The trailer begins with a man named Jim running from a creature chasing after him in a station of some sorts. The pair then emerge to the series’s traditional snowy environment, where a standoff brews between the two. jim shoots the creature chasing after him, but comes across a second monster. He has run of ammo and legs it to find a frozen mech, which emerges after being ‘awoken’. Bleeding from his earlier encounter, Jim gets into the mech and sees the second enemy run away. A bigger monster then appears to take on the mech, but is eventually taken down. A storm is then approaching on the horizon, to which the man in the mech escapes from. The game’s new logo then appears and confirms a 2013 launch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. http://www.vg247.com/2012/04/10/lost-planet-3-out-2013-spark-unlimited-handling-dev-duties/ I actually love the premise of Lost Planet, the massive SOTC-esque enmies in a sci-fi setting with co-operative play, but handing off the development to Spark Unlimited is almost a guarantee that the game will be, well, a bit shit. Here's to hoping the next Captivate anouncements are a little more...captivating.
