GamersInfo.net Writes:
"It's always a bit odd being invited to play the multi-player component of a title when I haven't played (or in this case seen) the single player. My skills – or lack thereof – with FPS titles are nearly legendary here at the site. I'm abysmal with arcade shooters; passable if they require skill and I'm playing defensively or the hated sniper. Throw me into a situation with anything but the "usual" and I need a little time to adjust. That's what single-player is for! But, I didn't get to play single-player...
Fracture is one of those titles that means so many things in context. The United States "fractures" and becomes the "countries" of the Atlantic Alliance and Pacifica; due to massive global changes, the actual continent fractures as well, leaving a dividing line between the new nations; beyond mere geography there is a fracture in ideology over what constitutes being human based upon genetics and cybernetics; and then there is the ability to literally fracture the landscape – terrain deformation as you battle your way through the game. It's a rather loaded word and it fits well."
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.
