Changing the face of the battlefield: Fracture’s teaser trailer

Terrain has its advantages and disadvantages. Choosing higher ground for example is better for ambush, defense, and sniping. So what if you can change the terrain to your advantage? That exact premise can be found in LucasArt’s upcoming videogame called Fracture.

In game, Terrain Deformation is a technology used for warfare to reshape the earth for strategic advantage. The year is 2090, and you play the part of demolition expert Mason Briggs. In the Fracture trailer, we see Briggs going around throwing some cool looking grenades. Okay, so they look normal enough, but the effects are not just the ear-splitting explosion and shrapnel. We see the effects of the Vortex grenades as it creates a whirlwind that sucks anything within an area into it.

Also, we get a sneak peek into the Tectonic grenades which literally raises the ground on the detonation area. Briggs also shows us that he can make doors for himself with them grenades, which made us wonder what the Rocket Launcher Alt-Fire can do. And there’s that big rock boulder he launches on enemies (reminds us of Indiana Jones somewhat).

Fracture from Day 1 Studios and the makers of Star Wars is set to hit next gen (PlayStation3 and Xbox360) summer of this year. You can check out the video – which by the way was uploaded by drsopa from YouTube. Enjoy!
