Fracture Demo today

[Cartoonguy]

So who has played the demo of fracture today? what did you think?

I played it and I enjoyed the game. I had fun just lifting the ground many many times.

did anyone try to use the lifting of ground to launch your guy around I did and it is fun. the trick is the land on a area right when it is lifting and it will hit upwards and sometimes to the side and you can continue to do this until you hit a wall if you time it.

well tell me what you thought of it and if you will be buying this game.

Tried the 360 version (I have both consoles and around these parts, or should I say, the entire UK!) The xbl downloads are WAY faster, so i get all multiplatform demos on the 360.

Game seems good, not perfect, the acting is a little wooden and the storyline seems like it's going to start well and then start meandering pretty quickly, but I like the physics behind the terrain movement, I like the ways it can be used. Seems fun overall, just don't expect an epic storyline.

I'll be buying it, though whether it will be at release or not depends, I would probably doubt a release purchase due to the period of the year we're in. I'll probably pick it up used during next year's period of "Bugger all's coming out".

The demo was fun, I think it would be a crazy on-line game. I was hoping it would have on-line with the demo but yeah it is a fun game. I went to town on lowering the ground, it was fun. I thought of the Unreal terrain editor, it was a fun game. Today I will try Merc 2.

Wow. Am I actually hearing this? The game sucked; the textures were low res, the explosions were stolen from the PS1, the acting WAS AS BAD AS... well, no other game comes close to it in that department.

Yes: the game was fun... to start with, then things got worse. Anyways, perhaps I'm being too harsh, but I really didn't like it.

You know guys that demos are made before the final build. So this is most likely not how good the graphics are in the actual game, demos are made to show off the gameplay, and teh gameplay is fun. This is the reason why companies have a hard time giving out demos because of people talking about graphics, demos are not actual games. If you have madden go download the demo and than check out the game, two complete looking games, the demo did not look anything close to actual game.
Now I am not saying that it was a great game but it was fun, I liked lifting up the terrain, this is totally new something never done in game, imagine the crazness of on-ine and everyone able to use these powers. I like how powerfull the weapons were. I am not counting on this game of a super story. But what you can do is amazing, it is cool how it is done and that is what makes me happy. Imagine what other games can do with the toolset lucasarts used to make this, it is going to be amazing.
But really it is a demo, I know you can judge sometings from the demo and I would prefer them not give one than releasing a poor demo but honestly if they release a demo of actual gameplay than why not release the game.

I didn't like the shooting to be honest... It didn't feel like you were actually hurting anyone; kinda like Mercs 2. Meh, whatever. It's not my type of game.

Yeah I can understand what you mean. But I think the thing is you have to press the R2 button to hurt people, that gun was working great. But yeah if you don't like it that is cool and all. But seriously people complaining how a demo looks or how a beta does not work. Well demos are not a finished product and beta is a Test for the final product to make sure the servers are working and fix any bugs that come up for the final product.

[LittleBigMan]

Yeah i only liked the demo for 1 reason. Terrain Derformation, that was wicked fun. Other than that i agree with Creative.

[Reshin]

despite the negativity, I like it. Add online co-op and multiplayer and I'm sold

[aer0blue]

Not perfect, but it gets points for being original and fun. Makes me wonder how the multiplayer's gonna be... Crazy, obviously! I'd get it just for that. The concept is there...it just needs polishing. :]

[SuperYuper]

The only part a liked about it was the ground lifting, but the weapons seemed sort of lame and same with people along with their ai

[Sage]

this game is like Halo 3 for the PS3!

[ConfusedCartman]

Honestly? It felt a little gimmicky. Like they came up with the idea of terrain deformation, then built a game around it and tried to make it work. Some of the weapons were creative, and I liked the very small puzzle element to it, but other than that, it wasn't great. The enemy AI was just bad, and I couldn't really get to grips with the combat because the ground was constantly changing.

[bbroman]

The weapons were very fun, I found. Not sure how it'll go across a whole game, but it was great for a demo. I'll be keeping tabs on this.

[Sambo110]

This demo was actually quite fun. I love in that big area at the beginning, just mucking around. And the first grenades you get are awesome.
