First Lost Planet 3 Screenshots Reveal In-Game Graphics

This is the last media asset blast to come out of Capcom's Captivate 2012 event, which was located in Rome of all places (budget cuts, obviously); below we have seven of the first screenshots for the newly announced Lost Planet 3. Considering this is our first look at the game (in-game or CG movie - unknown at this point) it's worth noting that the developers are obviously shooting for an action-oriented game that focuses on aliens and human death; check out the first images above.

The extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterized the Lost Planet series return, harsher than ever before in Lost Planet 3. Players take on the role of Jim, a utility rig pilot who has left Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Delivering a diverse range of gameplay, including third-person on-foot battles and intense first-person utility rig action, players will need to brave the uncharted terrain, hostile climate and threat of indigenous Akrid creatures. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost Planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths when it releases in early 2013.
