Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a Fracture press event in London last week, LucasArts assistant producer Jeffrey Gullett has revealed that developer Day 1 Studios had to create a brand new engine for forthcoming action game Fracture.
"It was a brand new concept so it wasn't really something we could just take an existing tech and modify it. It really had to be built from the ground up," said Gullett.
Fracture is one of an increasingly small number of next-gen games that doesn't use an off the shelf game engine, such as Unreal Engine 3.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ has shared some video showing Jurassic: The Hunted, Chaotic: Shadow Warriors and Fracture running in the latest DirectX 12 version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia. These games came only on consoles and the first two titles appear to be playable in Xenia.
"ZL: The reception was less than underwhelming. Fracture is one of those games that has already been forgotten; “terrain deformation” failed to impress gamers, the struggle between the Pacificans and the Alliance (though I’m not sure who they’re aligned with) inspired no one, everyone hated the main character and the online servers are host to nothing more than tumbleweeds."
We're well into the first week of August, and the summer's hottest days could be just ahead. There's still a debate being waged over climate change policies proposed to help curb its effects, but in some video game that debate is over and the effects of climate change lead to a bleak future. We speak to Dr. David Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist and Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University, to find out if these video games' vision of a post climate change future holds more fact or fiction.
Wow. This is an incredible read.
I will be voting up the article and the site. Thank you for submitting this!
Well written, thought provoking and intelligent. Great job to Steven Wong.
I thought this game was using the UE3. Look like I was wrong on this.
I hadnt planed on buying this one, but just because it´s not the ut3 engine ill might...
