GameShark writes: "Global warming's influence over the future landscape of America is threatening and Fracture colors a startling picture of the result. While the hyperbole of the game's dabbling in genetic engineering and cybernetics keeps the experience in check, it's a world where climate change has set the stage for intense combat. Several unbalanced sequences mar an otherwise inventive and dynamic shooter."
What's Hot:
+Inventive terrain deforming mechanics transform combat in meaningful way
+Lengthy campaign; solid multiplayer modes
What's Not:
-Uneven difficulty due to tough enemies and overwhelming numbers
-Terrain deformation sometimes gets in the way of combat
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.
