Is this just a cool gimmick or are Lucasarts and Day 1 Studios actually breaking the mould?
The game is set in 2161 and you take the role of Jet Brody, a member of the Atlantic Alliance's armed forces. Climate change has resulted in the midwest flooding and the east and west have broken apart with sea between them. The east (Atlantic Alliance) has started to rely on technology to help improve their world while the west (The Republic Of Pacifica) is now experimenting with genetic modifications to set their future plans in motion."
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.
