Causing destruction is one of the greatest things you can do in a video game, but you're usually limited to blowing up the odd building or taking down a bridge. When was the last time you caused a mini-mountain rise out of the earth, sending everything on top of it flying into the air?
This is exactly the main premise of LucasArts' Fracture. While it features a smattering of destructible buildings, it's the ground that will be your real playground in this third-person shooter from Day 1 Studios, the team behind the MechAssault series.
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 remember seeing this game at E3 last year. I haven't been paying to much attention to it, but I'm still looking forward to it.
