LucasArts' "OMG we need a new franchise to replace Mercenaries since EA grabbed it" upcoming Fracture, the 3rd person shooter being developed by Day 1 Studios and at the moment the only original game LucasArts has in the pipeline, hasn't been mentioned by us in awhile, so now's as good a time as any to play catch up. Take, for instance, this recent preview by IGN. Is a PC version for the so far Xbox 360 and PS3-only title not unfathomable?
Currently planned for 360 and PS3, Fracture has considerable potential for pushing the next-gen action genre. Denny also said to expect some truly crazy terrain-inspired achievements in the Xbox 360 version, although he wasn't willing to go into specifics. While the games should mostly be the same content-wise on each system, we only saw the Xbox 360 build in our demo. As Denny put it, "We're not going to comment on specific PS3 features at this time, but it is definitely coming to PS3." When asked about a PC version of the game, Denny Thorley didn't deny it, and only said, "We're not prepared to talk about PC at this time."There are a bunch of other previews (the game was shown off at a San Francisco media event earlier in the month and at GDC in February), by Joystiq, 1up, Team Xbox, OrlandoSentinel, and Game Informer. In these you'll find lots of new screenshots and information should you care enough to see it. At the moment Fracture is still scheduled for release sometime this Fall.
