Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lost Planet is a Third-Person Shooter developed by Capcom for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC. The game takes place on a planet known as EDN III, a planet that humanity was attempting to colonize. However, the native Akrid, a mysterious race of insect-like creatures, drove off the colonists. Only after discovering the potent "Thermal Energy" inside their bodies did humans fight back. Now NEVEC, led by Commander Dennis Isenberg, is attempting to take control of EDN III by using what is known as the "Frontier System", which will terraform the cold planet in exchange for the elimination of all life on the planet.You take control of Wayne Holden, an amnesiac and former colonist turned Snow Pirate, whose tasks revolve around the prevention of the Frontier System's activation. Initially, you are led by Yuri Solotov, who used to work for NEVEC, but he leaves around halfway through the game. Throughout the game you fight the Akrid and other soldiers. The first half of the missions pits you against the Crimson Unity, and the second half against NEVEC.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel was released on May 2010. Ten years after the first game, large parts of EDN III have been terraformed, resulting in a variety of environments. The story follows the actions of several groups of "Snow" Pirates as they enter fights against opposing factions and fight off the increasingly aggressive Akrid. This time, NEVEC decides to use their space cannon NEOS to simply gather as much Thermal Energy as they can, and abandon the planet. At this point NEVEC becomes so heavy handed that a breakaway faction, known as Ex-NEVEC, begins to rally the Pirates to eliminate both the corrupted corporation and the titanic Over-G Akrid in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.The series' executive producer, Keiji Inafune, left Capcom. Even still, a third game was released in August 2013, developed by Spark Unlimited.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The PTX-40A Vital Suit is a playable character in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom! It also makes a cameo in fellow Capcom game Asura's Wrath.A cel-shaded cartoonish spin-off called E.X. Troopers was released in 2012 for PS3 and 3DS. It trades the cinematic sci-fi of the rest of the series for a VERY anime style. Apparently set at a NEVEC school/training academy, it features a Hot-Blooded shounen protagonist, his stoic Bishōnen rival, a mysterious girl who can somehow communicate with the Akrid, and Vital Suits that adhere more to traditional Humongous Mecha designs. Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring it to the west, and because of the way the text is coded into the game, it would have to be virtually rewritten from scratch in order to localize it. On the bright side, the PS3 is region free, the 3DS region lock can be circumvented, and the 3DS version received a full fan translation in 2019. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Jim ends up keeping a lot of secrets from his comrades at Coronis after meeting the survivors and descendants of the First Colony expedition. This causes some serious problems when later on Laroche, believing that Jim is conspiring with Snow Pirates to steal Thermal Energy, calls NEVEC's paramilitary force to come to E.D.N. III and secure the colony. | |

Beam Spam: The Homing Laser can fire up to four beams that home in on targets. The typical VS can mount two of them. However, it's Awesome, but Impractical. The lasers drain a lot of thermal energy, and can't do much at close range. Plus, it's useless in low-ceiling battles, since all the beams will hit the ceiling (the lasers shoot upward). | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The support cannons. They deal immense damage and have incredible range, but they require a MINIMUM of 2 players (the person firing the weapon, and another supporting) and a whopping two thousand units of thermal energy (more than is usually carried by most players at any one time) from each player, and all participants have to remain stationary for the cannon to charge and fire. | |

Improvised Weapon | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: The Rigs have a variety of equipment for mining Thermal Energy which can also be quite handy for fighting Akrid. In fact, the Rigs could mount actual weapons on them, as noted early on when Laroche demands a machine gun for his Rig, but NEVEC company policy forbids this. A brief rundown of the Rig weapons is as follows: Power Fist: The left hand claw can be used to manipulate devices, or it can be used to grab Akrid limbs and hold them in place. This Is a Drill: Great for mining or for tearing through Akrid flesh. Grappling-Hook Pistol: The winch on the left hand can be used to set up a zipline and also makes for a pretty effective ranged attack. Kill It with Fire: An acetylene torch: perfect for welding. Also burns Akrid alive. Shock and Awe: The Shock-Jumper is meant for recharging batteries, but can fry Akrid pretty well. As well as an enemy Rig. | |

Badass Normal: Jim, a colonist who, unlike the battle-hardened heroes of previous games, is an everyman trying to provide for his family back on Earth. Doesn't stop him from cutting down Akrid by the hundreds. This is even more so when you consider that Wayne and the characters of Lost Planet 2 all had Harmonizers. These haven't been invented yet at the time Lost Planet 3 occurs yet Jim still fights thousands of Akrid just fine. Story-wise at least; in gameplay no matter how many grievous injuries he takes he can always Walk It Off. | |

Fortunately Wayne discovers an alternative that won't fry the colonists and by Lost Planet 2, ten years later, most of the frozen wastes of E.D.N.

From Bad to Worse | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Pretty much what the Waysiders had to go through throughout their chapter. So far, this is what had happened to them in a relatively short amount of time: They attacked the Carpetbaggers' base, and lost half their men only to successfully steal four days' worth of T-ENG. They are pursued on their train by an Over-G, and are forced to ditch the T-ENG they managed to steal. Their aircraft are shot down by Sand Pirate snipers, and they are forced to fight a pair of large, reptilian Akrid before escaping. In a bit of good news, they managed to steal the Carpetbaggers' Railway Gun, and used it to kill an Over-G that was similar to the one that attacked them; bad news is that when they took the Railway Gun back with them, they found out that their home base was no longer recognizable. | |

Mix-and-Match Weapon: The Gun Sword. It packs half the ammunition of the standard Machine Gun and has a much slower rate of fire; in return, it's fairly accurate, deals great damage (10-12 shots on the higher difficulties to kill a standard soldier, in contrast to the 30-40 bullets of the Machine Gun), and inflicts higher base melee damage than any other weapon save the Pile Bunker and Laser Lance (both VS weapons), and its own upgraded variant the Gun Sword SP (which trades bullet damage for even greater melee potential). | |

In Episode 5, you hijack the Thermal Laser Cannon, which fires an extremely high-powered energy beam. Of course, all VS weapons are this to a normal person. | |

Lost Planet / Videogame / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Your AI teammates are mediocre at taking out enemies (especially groups of them), but they might activate data posts and certain mission critical devices for you. Don't expect them to use Vital Suits effectively (much less get in one) or find their way around easily. Of course, they tend to get killed a lot, but this doesn't cost you anything. The AI in any multiplayer simulation gets this treatment as well. You can get 50 kills off of them without moving from your camping spot, for example. | |

Not So Different: Jim easily cuts through Isenberg's assertions that he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist, accusing Isenberg of being nothing but a killer. Isenberg fires back, saying that Jim is a hypocrite as he murdered over 100 NEVEC soldiers who were only doing their jobs in a cowardly act of terrorism by using a false distress call to lure them back to their ship and then detonating it. While Jim wasn't the one who did it, he was privy to it, and he does not refute what Isenberg says. | |

Got to rush into the heart of an Emperor-class storm to take some readings? Have a Category G Akrid that needs to be put down, stat? Jim's your man to do it! This is actually what saves his life after fighting the Cat-G Akrid and falling off the cliff of the comm tower, as Mira implies she would have left him to die had she not seen that he was such a good man. Later on, this tendency of his goes through a Deconstruction as he has to choose between helping people who have mutually exclusive goals. | |

Mini-Mecha: Instead of Vital Suits, the game will feature Rigs, which are not weaponized (these are meant for mining materials above all else) and serve as the predecessors of Vital Suits. These Rigs seem to be very important as well for exploring E.D.N. III, as the game's HUD is tied into the Rig; the farther you are from it, the more transparent your HUD is. Rigs, unlike VS's, are also customizable. Colonel Isenberg's Vital Suit at the end of the game serves as the Final Boss. | |

Faction Calculus | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_cbc54501 | comment |
Faction Calculus: There are five playable factions in multiplayer that players can join. This trope, however, is slightly averted as the only thing different from each faction are the characters usednote The Guest Fighters listed in Intercontinuity Crossover can be used for all five factions: Rounders: A faction consisting of Snow Pirates who constantly need to be on the move, or get around. There are two groups here, the Mercenaries, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and the Waysiders, a group of people who fight to survive. N.E.V.E.C.: The main antagonists of the series, who are divided between the Ex-N.E.V.E.C (i.e. soldiers who underwent a Heel–Face Turn and rebelled against their former employers) and New N.E.V.E.C (i.e. soldiers loyal to N.E.V.E.C) groups. Fight Junkies: As the title says, a faction consisting of people who like to fight and exert their dominance over other groups. These consist of the Jungle Pirates, Carpetbaggers, and Vagabundos. Snow Pirate Elites: All members of this faction consist of the Snow Pirates from the first game. Femme Fetales: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, an all-female faction consisting of the female members from the other factions. | |

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_ccab244d | comment |
Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Most of the weapons in the game are simple kinetic weapons. The handful of energy weapons that do exist are fairly rare and are not really worth using. Subverted with the Plasma Gun. While its shots do not travel as fast as the Rifle's, it has a larger hitbox so you can hit your enemies even if your shot is not on par. It only costs 40 Thermal Energy per shot, and is a fairly effective weapon for all targets. The only downside is that you have to lead your shots at far out distances. The Energy Gun also counts. Charged shots are its only effective use, but it can force a non-boss VS pilot to eject, making it available to you. | |

The End of the World as We Know It: According to the research of Ex-NEVEC, NEVEC's newest plan would send EDN III back into an ice age, this time much, much worse then before. Put simply, the planet becomes an absolute zero freezer. | |

Start of Darkness: We see NEVEC's first true atrocity is slaughtering as many of the First Colony survivors as they can once they make planetfall on E.D.N. III, because if it ever became public that one of their generals marooned thousands of people on the planet, it would be the end of the company. | |

Nerf | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: All energy weapons were given an overheat gauge, supposedly to prevent abuse of the Homing Laser among other things. In a patch, many things were nerfed in multiplayer to balance with other weapons. Of particular note is the Cannon, which had its ammunition changed from ∞ to 15, and its reload time quintupled. The Gun Sword SP also had its lag time lengthened. | |

Press X to Not Die | |
Lost Planet / Videogame / int_e6661fc2 | comment |
Press X to Not Die: A new addition, QTEs are in Lost Planet. In an interesting variation, however, the situations requiring them are very static (the input is all that changes), and have every player participate. The third time you have to do this, you have to react a total of three times. An unusual thing is that, while your character DOES... die, the mission isn't necessarily failed. It only fails if your Battle Gauge is depleted. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Joe saves Wayne from The Dragon Bandero, while blowing away two spider-tank VS's with his anti-VS rifle. Later, he single handedly destroys the Frontier Project from the inside, presumably avoiding all the NEVEC Mooks inside hunting for him. To an extent, Rick saves Joe from Bandero as well, as Joe realized what the Frontier Project will actually do. | |
