Lost Planet 3 | Part 1 Introduction E.D.N. III | Gameplay

Lost Planet 3 (ロスト プラネット 3) is a third-person shooter action-adventure video game developed by Spark Unlimited and published by Capcom. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game serves as a prequel to both Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Lost Planet 2, taking place on the same planet, E.D.N. III.

In Lost Planet 3, players follow the story of Jim Peyton, a Utility Rig pilot who embarks on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. The game adopts a more story-driven narrative approach, similar to the first game in the series. Let’s delve into the plot:

Background:
Fifty years before the events of the first game, Jim Peyton joins an expedition to mine the resources of E.D.N. III. Funded by the NEVEC corporation, the expedition aims to tap into E.D.N. III’s mysterious substance called “Thermal Energy”, which could potentially solve Earth’s energy crisis.
Jim meets various characters, including Dr. Kendric Kovac, operations director Phil Braddock, Doctor Roman, head technician Gale, and fellow Rig pilot Laroche.
During a repair mission, Jim suspects a saboteur on the base, and his suspicions grow when he discovers an abandoned NEVEC base that reveals previous colonization attempts.
Jim’s encounter with a massive Akrid (the planet’s hostile creatures) leaves him injured but saved by a woman named Mira, who belongs to a group called “The Forgotten”—survivors of NEVEC’s earlier colonization attempt.
Jim’s Revelation:
Jim, now an elderly man, recounts his experiences to his granddaughter, Diana. He reveals how he ended up on E.D.N. III and the secrets he uncovered.
The game explores the events that led to the first Lost Planet game, shedding light on the planet’s mysteries and the struggles faced by its inhabitants.
Lost Planet 3 combines action-packed gameplay with a compelling narrative, making it a worthy addition to the franchise. If you’re a fan of intense battles, mysterious worlds, and gripping storytelling, this game is worth checking out!
