Lost Planet 3 puts equal strength on both 3rd and 1st-person perspective. The main source of thermal energy is what Akrids leave for you to pick up after you kill them. When you are in your base, you can use gathered thermal points to buy new weapons or weapon upgrades like bigger ammo clips, pouches to carry more ammo, secondary more-destructive ammo, and such. Thermal energy is the main resource, and as such, the currency used in the game (unlike in previous two games where it was used as character's health). The game progresses as you complete main quests that move the story forward, but leave you with many side-quests which can earn you various bonuses. Battling Akrids is just as before, you can easily dispose of smaller ones, while boss battles require you to wait for them to reveal their weaknesses which is the glowing point beneath their husks. While gameplay is similar to both prequels, it is more story-driven than mission-themed which makes it more alike the original game rather than the sequel.
Was NEVEC already on this planet? What happened to the people of the "real" first expedition? And why was it kept secret? And who saved his life? The questions in Jim's head won't let him rest until he finds the truth behind it all and lead the plot toward the events that transpired in the original game. One day, while diligently performing his duties, he will stumble on an old abandoned NEVEC base and ultimately find himself on the brink of death while fighting Akrids, only to be saved by unknown inhabitants of this planet.
When not mining and tending to repairs, he earns his pay by fighting various Akrid species, an indigenous life-forms that are swarming this barren place. Jim is part of that expedition, and while it pains him to have to be separated from his wife and new-born child for over a year in contract, it pays well and he will be able to provide for his family back home by assisting in mining the resource known as thermal energy.īut, Jim's job extends to that of mining as E.D.N. III to mine what seemed to be a unique type of resource in the known universe. Energy consumption crisis on Earth has caused to look for other resources, and NEVEC launched an expedition to the ice-cold frozen wastes of a planet called E.D.N. Lost Planet 3 is a prequel to the original Lost Planet: Extreme Condition game, which follows the story of Jim Peyton.
