Dino Crisis 3 E3 2003 Preshow Report

Capcom has released some details on its upcoming Xbox action game Dino Crisis 3.

As previously reported, the game takes place in the year 2548. You'll take on the role of either Patrick or Sonya, members of an intergalatic marine force called SOAR. The duo is investigating an Event Horizon-like spaceship named the Ozymandius, which has reappeared in space after going missing 300 years prior. As you might imagine, the ship is filled with angry space dinosaurs, and combat ensues.

Combat will let you use a collection of futuristic guns, as well as automated drones called WASPs. Using WASPs frequently will earn you points that can be used to purchase weapon upgrades and recovery items. Aside from combat, the game will also contain some light puzzle solving and other exploration-related activities.

Dino Crisis 3 is scheduled to ship this August.
