PS3 - Fracture - Red Faction only next-gen possible, terraforming is so last season

Coming up in an interview published later today, Strategy Informer interrogates a Red Faction sympathiser over at Volition Inc.

Associate Producer Sean Kennedy tells them why Red Faction Guerrilla wasn't possible until now, how Geo-Mod 2.0 tech is "three to five years" ahead, and his thoughts on terrain game Fracture...

Asked if the new Red Faction has moved away from terraforming terrain because of recent titles like LucasArts' Fracture, Kennedy laughs. "Ha, Fracture! You can actually put that in your article!" Volition isn't so insecure, it seems it was time for a change in the franchise anyway.

LucasArts: No retroactive Trophies for PS3 Fracture

PS3 - Fracture - LucasArts: No retroactive Trophies for PS3 Fracture

While the 360 version of the divisive game has a full compliment of Achievements, there are no Trophies in the PS3 version.

Executive producer Shara Miller explained to VideoGamer.com that adding Trophy support retroactively was "something we've explored but right now it doesn't seem feasible".

Miller described the lack of Trophy support in the PS3 version as a "real bummer", and laid the blame on "weird timing".

"There are no Trophies in the game," she said. "There was just a weird timing with when Trophies, when the technology was released, versus when we were already sort of passed that point. It was a real bummer."

PS3 - Fracture - Fracture producer responds to mixed review scores

Executive producer Shara Miller, who works for publisher LucasArts, defended developer Day 1 Studios and said "they took a risk and that they did some great stuff with it".

"Any time you do something new there are going to be some people who absolutely love it and applaud you for it and then there are going to be people who say that it's not enough. I feel very proud of Day 1 for what they've done with this. I've played through it a million times; I still have a great time. I really do think it's a very cool new mechanic. I've seen people respond in a great way to that. And so I think there's a lot for people to really love about this game. Any time you try something new it's going to be a little bit controversial. You have to take a risk. I really think that they took a risk and that they did some great stuff with it."

PS3 - Fracture - CliffyB in Twenty Years Presents Fracture Multiplayer Video Walkthrough

"New Fracture Multiplayer footage surfaced in the form of a walkthrough. I tried really hard to watch it, and focus only on the game itself, but all I could think was "oh my God, that is going to be CliffyB in twenty years."

Is it just me or does that guy's over the top dude-a-riffic enthusiasm seem a bit like someone else we know? Hey, I'm all for Seth Benton, Senior Multiplayer Lead, being excited about his own product -- I'm just saying that it sounds like this is the first time "SethyB" is seeing his game in action.

Anyway, the game does look pretty "awesome", so "totally" check it out after the jump."

Varied system specs to blame for no Fracture on PC

PS3 - Fracture - Varied system specs to blame for no Fracture on PC

On the back of LucasArts deciding to develop Star Wars: The Force Unleashed only for consoles and not the PC, VideoGamer.com caught up with Fracture's assistant producer Jeffrey Gullett to find out if the company's other big action game for 2008 had a chance of a PC release. It seems not.

"We looked at the PC, but there were a few different issues when it came to PC, like the game is actually incredibly demanding for processing power and graphic power, so we really sort of require pretty much top of the line PCs to run it at the performance we would require it," said Gullett.

"So then it just kind of came down to like, is it really viable to do it? If it requires that high end of a machine, does it really make sense to do it or not? So we sort of decided against that and went for 360 and PS3."

PS3 - Fracture - George Lucas had lots to say about Fracture - Film making legend behind some of the changes to the game's main character

Videogamer writes: "While EA has recently joined forces with film director Steven Spielberg, LucasArts has been making the most of film making legend George Lucas for years. Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a press event for terrain deforming action game Fracture last week, game producer Jeffrey Gullet revealed that the team got feedback from a lot of sources, including George Lucas. It seems much of the feedback centred on the game's main character.

"We got a lot of feedback from a lot of different places. Some of it from our own internal team, some of it from play testing that we did. Some of it came directly from George Lucas himself," stated Gullett. "We were sort of still in the process of creating him when we first announced the game, so that's a lot of why he's changed pretty dramatically from the first time we ever put him out there."

Fracture dev: "Wii does not have the processing power"

PS3 News from N4G | Fracture

Even though the Wii has seen a huge amount of success and currently leads the console war by a large margin, its hardware limitations do mean that it often misses out on the graphically rich games found on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in London last week, LucasArts assistant producer Jeffrey Gullett confirmed what we already kind of knew about the reason behind no Fracture on Wii.
