Can't believe I'm back to making topics. Well, I'm still not sold on Lost Planet 3 (Which I will get around to explainging one of these days, hopefully before it releases.) I'm actually taking looks at it and giving it a chance. A friend of mine pushed me to the RE mindset of it may be a good game, just not a good X game. "X" in question this time around being LP3. Multiplayer may be it's saving grace for me unfortunately, depending on how it turns out.
Problem is, there is no info on it. All except for 3-4 seconds of gameplay and a leaked picture. We have nothing to talk about, nothing to speculate on except for what we have been told and seen of the singleplayer and pictures of Akrid and characters really. There are questions that need to be asked and questions that need to be answered.
How deep is the combat as far as multiplayer goes? Will there be assissination style kills? How does Melee work?
What returning weapons are we to see? What new weapons will we see? What kind of grenades will there still be?
Will there be a Beta or Demo in the near future?
Is the Multiplayer Arena (Halo) Hybrid (Lost Planet 2) or Class (Call of Duty) based?
If Class Based, will there be ways to play Arena or Hybrid?
How do Ranked Matches work?
Wil there finally be kill assists?
Is there anything to be seen along the lines of Ordnances (Halo) or (Call of Duty) Kill Streaks?
Will Online work with Matchmaking Playlists (Halo) or Search Lobbies (Lost Planet 1&2)?
How much Halo inspiration is left in the game?
Are Abilities still implemented?
Will we have replay features?
Will there still be timed respawns or will they be instant?
Will the Japanese influenced advanced techniques such as anchor cancel, anchor swing, grenade detonation and Invincibility Frames still exist?
Will we have VS in multiplayer or other nonconventional construction rigs?
Will Female Models still be an option in multiplayer?
Will there be character customization or preset models?
Will there still be rag doll physics?
Are Taunts still in the game?
What role does Thermal Energy play in multiplayer, if any?
Is there still Radar?
Is Nightvision or Flashlights available?
Are Stun Lock, Staggers and Knock Downs still in the game?
Are there control, camera and reticule options to play with a more LP1 style?
Sure some of these things don't need to be answered, heck some of them probably won't be, but something should be brought to Spark's attention at least or even someone working here at Capcom. The game's changed into something I just don't recognize much anymore. It's been said that not everything's changed, well, like what? I clearly see there's still a roll, but I don't know if it still does what it used to for the last 2 games, appears it's a much slower roll even.
I think it's safe to say that the campaign of this game has done a 180 and has little resemblance to Lost Planet 1 and 2 outside of references and settings. I get it, it's already been established several times in what little set of videos and articles there are out there on this game.
Can we please get some more info? This boards are hardly moving any, doesn't anyone remember how fast the boards moved during LP2's development? Everyone wanted to get on board and have their opinions heard good or bad. Sometimes it was even answered! I also get yeah, be patient and wait, but how long are we to wait?
I know we're missing quite a few, but this shouldn't be. Times like this I miss Snow…
