New Footage of Lost Planet 3 is a Giant Quicktime Event

Capcom has just released new footage of Lost Planet 3, which is currently in development at Spark Unlimited.

The new footage shows off what appears to be an early battle with a giant enemy crab. The player takes to the mech to drill the crab's appendages off. A portion of the sequence was previously shown in the game's first video reveal.

Players take on the role of a rig pilot named Jim, who takes a contract and finds himself on the planet of E.D.N. III to obtain samples and prepare it for colonization. Predictably enough, things go wrong.

The latest chapter in the Lost Planet series is slated for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in early 2013.
