Fracture Video Shows Geo-deforming Gameplay

Anyone remember Red Shift? That had "terraforming" in it and was equally dull

I made it about 30 seconds before I couldn't take it anymore. Write a script, people!

HE'S THE COOLEST GUY IN THE GAME! OOH FRAMERATE HIT!

For the love of god. These types of developer videos are horrible.

Holy Smokes, are you gonna love this comment, but, opps, that typed out a bit slow there. Don't worry, I'll type faster before too longer. Notice that this is an early rough draft of this note, and that we'll be addressing my spelling and grammar later on. In this sentence, we had planned on it being early in the paragraph. This isn't the greatest place to get all of your attention, but the next sentence will show you something cool. Isn't this cool? I would like to make sure you know we plan on making all this better before I hit the submit button.

Worst PR I've ever seen in a public forum. You might put an earlier disclaimer that the game is pre-alpha, so not everything is smooth / final, but you don't constantly remind the audience. You don't criticize the developer constantly, you don't interrupt each other during the talk, but you do show excitement and enthusiasm.

Developers and producers and corporate types must stop this trend of putting themselves on camera and just give us the stupid gameplay.. this is getting out of hand

I'm sorry. Lucas Arts PR. Fired.

This looks fucking stupid.

"This is an early mission in the game" if you haven't heard it before!

My ears! The pause button does nothing!

Looks very gimicky. "Look. TD!" "What else you got?" "TD works up and down!"

wow, that looks pretty generic. Too bad, it had so much potential.

Jade's got some competition. Rawr.

So was this an early in the game mission?

What a miserable lot! I far prefer videos like this to the typical sixty-second montage of random gameplay and cutscene clips. Yeesh.

There are 2 paths this game could go: 1) Timeshift, and 2) Portal.

Place your bets. I'm betting on 1.

Ignoring the developers commentary, the game looks boring to play :\

This is like the production of a freshman A/V club guy and girl pair where the guy secretly has a crush on the girl and isn't sure what to say.

It's Populous meets generic FPS

I love that she actually mentioned the framerate hiccup. Most devs would just gloss over that because of instructions from higher up.

I could get excited about this deformation stuff, but I dislike that they make puzzles out of it.

I'd love to see some big explosions from massive guns cause the terrain to deform. Not to have to manually deform it all the time. Of course, I think the Gravity Gun is over-rated and tacky as well.

Videos like this one really make me appreciate Gary Busey that much more (Saints Row 2 trailer).

It looks like the frame rate of the game is bound to the frame rate of the video, because when it cuts to the scene of the two clueless producers talking about this game that it seems like they have just seen for the first time, it is at the same FPS.

Yeah these developer videos are always awkward...that's not my issue.

My problem - take out the AA guns so reinforcements can land? Come on guys. I've been there, keep the mission the same buy call them something else besides generators or AA guns. Maybe a tracking computer or security station.

These, my friends, are GAME DEVELOPERS.

Welcome to teh intarnets.

"the mission is called the drop ship mission". Wow...wait, i mean wow. That sounds so amazing.

Does LucasArts not care about their games anymore? Game videos are supposed to make me want to buy the game, not bash my fist through the screen.

the FPS look horrid, that kinda stuff drives me nuts in games.

That looks like the before picture on a TLC makeover show.
