Fracture PS3 and 360 demos next Thurs News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

11 September, 2008

LucasArts will be offering Xbox 360 and PS3 demos of the ground-manipulating Fracture next Thursday, 18th September, ahead of the full game's release on 10th October.

The samplers will serve up a tutorial introducing Terrain Formation, the big idea at the core of the third-person action game. This revolves around futuristic weaponry that, at its most basic level, instantly carves craters in, or sprouts hills from, the ground. Dun dun dun.

Unfortunately the tutorial, which we had a fiddle with back in June, spells all of this out rather too clearly, quashing any kind of early improvisation or experimentation. But the exciting potential remains, and not least because up to 12 of you can do all this to each other online.

Head over to our hands-on impressions of Fracture for a much more detailed account.

I can see this game be far better in multiplayer than anything else.

I was not aware this game was so close to release. I think it's going to suffer in the strong winter line-up unless LucasArts market it hard.

"I think it's going to suffer in the strong winter line-up"

All impressions so far seem to indicate it would suffer against a Colecovision lineup.

I'd never even heard of this game before but as a geologist I'm afraid it makes me far more excited than I'd like to admit.

The game looked much better when it didnt have generic armoured marine #12546755788

and when it had ideas they just couldnt get finished in time due to strict deadlines... they mentioned so much awesome stuff at E3 last year but when it surfaced this year they were all like "yeah we changed it theres less stuff you can do now" AWESOME!

Looks pedestrian next to Red Faction Guerilla.
