Reshape the battlefield -- and the fate -- of a broken nation in Fracture™,
the new IP from LucasArts and Day 1 Studios. "Groundbreaking" in more ways than
one, this 2008 blockbuster utilizes technology only possible on the Xbox 360™
and PLAYSTATION®3.
Amidst a backdrop of worldwide ecological and seismological chaos in the
mid-2100s, the United States has been split in two by the "Great Flood". As a
result of the polar ice cap melting, the Mississippi River has destroyed the
central portion of the United States, causing an ill-equipped Federal Government
to fail and literally cutting the country in half. These two halves are left to
fend for themselves in the aftermath.
The East, now known as the Atlantic Alliance, symbolic of their union with
Europe, puts its faith in surviving this new world in cybernetics, an
established yet evolving technology now more than 150 years old. On the other
side of the flooded continent, the Western states, now called the Republic of
Pacifica and having allied with Asia, resort to solving their problems at the
genetic level, effectively restructuring the DNA of its inhabitants -- a method
the Atlantic Alliance finds morally reprehensible.
By 2161, it only takes a hint of unauthorized military preparation in
Pacifica for the newly restored president to order a strike in the heart of
Pacifican territory -- an outpost in the now dry San Francisco Bay. This strike
leads to the unthinkable: an epic conflict with global implications fought on
U.S. soil. As a soldier in this struggle, Mason Briggs uses explosive,
terrain-deforming weaponry to change the face of battle: He not only destroys
the land in his path, he outright transforms it to gain the strategic advantage
in completely unscripted ways no game has ever seen. With such a devastating
arsenal at hand, Briggs never leaves any battlefield the way he found it.
In addition to extraordinary weaponry that allows players to do things
previously only imagined, each side of the conflict, Pacifica and the Atlantic
Alliance, boast soldiers with powers beyond those of ordinary men. Genetic
augmentations provide Pacifican forces with amazing abilities, while Atlantic
Alliance soldiers like Briggs counter the threat with the more "traditional"
method: cybernetics. The differing states of superhumanity result in balanced
yet stylistically different combat tactics that have never been seen before.
- Truly next-generation gameplay -- Groundbreaking terrain deformation
allows players to reshape the battlefield on the fly with futuristic weaponry
of the year 2161, allowing for unprecedented power, freedom and control.
- All new story and characters from the company that brought you Star Wars
and Indiana Jones, as well as Mercenaries and Thrillville -- Players assume
the role of Mason Briggs, a demolitions expert in the mighty Atlantic Alliance
army and the next great action hero.
- Plausible future conflict -- As stem cell research continues to
proliferate and spirals out of control, ideological differences over genetic
enhancement place the player at the threshold of an epic battle of tomorrow
between genetics vs. cybernetics as two powerful armies, with vastly differing
tactics and advantages, square off. The battlefield will change forever.
