Fracture brings terra-forming to the gaming arena [again], click on through to see if LucasArts make the earth move for us.
LucasArts recently travelled to town to preview a bunch of upcoming titles. We have already spoken about
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures , now it is the turn of Fracture.
From LucasArts and Day 1 Studios, Fracture is set around 150 years in the future amidst the ironically divided nation formally known as the United States, now a warring nation.
The East based Atlantic Alliance has maintained their links with Europe and has put faith into technology, specifically cybernetics, allowing citizens of the AA to have a fruitful future.
Across the great flood (ahhh global warming) is the Western faction, known as the Republic of Pacifica. Allied with Asia they have turned to genetic modification as their saviour.
Of course battles ensue between the factions; specifically players take on the role of Mason Briggs, an AA soldier striking deep into enemy territory (a dry San Francisco bay). Armed with his cybernetic enhancements and a grim determination, Briggs will leave no battlefield the way he found it.
