GWN:
''One of the best parts of E3 was having my cameraman, who is a gamer and really, really wanted to come along with me for the convention, mind-numbingly ask "since when does Lucasarts make non-Star Wars games?" Ahh, sometimes the fond memories of blunt wit and denouncement don't leave so easily or peacefully. Too bad he wasn't recording then, or that he didn't dare think that Lucasarts was a game publisher too.
Fracture is another interesting outlook on how to change gaming in a more drastic way. Using weaponry that changes the ground to better help players progress and defeat enemies, that ground is your most important tool, weapon, and your best friend. If it were an FPS, sleeping on the ground could be more unsettling after playing.
The third-person shooter is all about a war between the Republic of Pacifica (guess which side of the US they're from) and the Atlantic Alliance, which is basically a recreation of Total Annihilation's story. For those who missed out on the game of the year in 1997, players are part of AA and have cybernetic implants. They are competing for dominance of the now split United States against the Pacificans, who have been genetically enhancing themselves. Albeit the Arm didn't change their genetics, but they were probably pumping some drugs to make them not wet themselves against the cybernetic Core.''
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.
