According to DSOGaming, the game uses the Unreal Engine 3. While it doesn't natively support ambient occlusion, it features a robust dynamic shadowing system. The "PROPHET" version is highly sought after because it simplifies the installation of all patches and the high-resolution assets in one package.
Significant visual improvements for PC players, which addresses some of the low-res texture concerns noted at launch. Gameplay Overview
The game features a hub-based structure where you return to base to upgrade gear and interact with NPCs, lending it a survivalist feel. Technical Performance
Five playable characters and two rig upgrades for multiplayer.
Unlike its predecessors, Lost Planet 3 shifts from arcade-style shooting to a more story-driven, atmospheric experience.
A core mechanic involves piloting a massive "Utility Rig." Unlike the "Vital Suits" from previous games, this is an industrial tool used for drilling and defense against the Akrid.
Includes three long-range weapons (Incinerator, Tactical Sniper Rifle, and pulses) and two rig upgrades.
