LucasArts today released a new trailer for Fracture, the terrain-morphing shooter in development by Day 1 Studios.

The trailer focuses on the backstory of Fracture's appropriately-fractured world, explaining how the United States got chickenpox from global warming, and how something called the Pacificans could possibly be deadly.

Fracture is set to hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this October.

Gameplay looks interesting.

Story makes me want to puke.

Global warming? Again? Please. Stop with the global warming. Just stop. Really.

Global warming is bullshit.

Genetic engineering = Evil is bullshit.

<<<Not a Republican.

I like the idea of terrain forming as a combat weapon. Not sure if this is something I will purchase though.

"using advanced terrain deforming technology!" Wow, the game puts its graphical gimmick into the game's plot. Amazing.

What's next, a game where enemies use advanced HDR bloom weaponry with alt-fire lens flares?

From the video, this game seems soulless, which is unusual for a Lucas Arts game.

It's funny. Everything in that preview seemed to indicate that the game is some sort of massively multiplayer battlefield-esque shooter, and then you read up on it and you find out that they're actually trying to make a single-player campaign out of this shit.

I always imagined Red Faction 2 to be something like this. Lucasarts is still one of my all-time fav companies, but I don't get the corny-ass trailer :\

The concept of this game seems interesting enough, but I really wish studios would hire decent voice actors. It really makes all the difference.

Also, that terrain forming stuff definitely looks like a gimmick.
