no, this has nothing to do with the movie Fracture. check out this trailer for the game. it's gonna use LA's new physics engine that we will also see on their next star wars project; Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. looks pretty cool.

more info on the game:

Quote:
You play as Atlantian soldier Mason Briggs, a demolitions specialist who joins the battle with a bunch of special explosives on his belt. Special? Yes, because not only do they blow up, they cause the “terrain deformation” that’s key to Fracture’s action. For example, when he throws a Tectonic Grenade, the ground rapidly raises at the point of the explosion, while a Subsonic Grenade drops the land downward.

LucasArts indicated that the terrain deformation works in a number of different ways: for offense as a “WMD”; as a defensive tool, such as when the raised ground serves as a block between you and whoever is firing at you; as a lifting device, which helps in solving some puzzles; and as a navigation vehicle, such as when you throw a Spike Grenade, which causes a rapidly growing pillar to rise out of the ground.

Sounds pretty cool. I like the terrain changing ideas. Reminds me of Excite Truck a little.
did you watch the vid? maybe i didnt make the link visible enough.

...and exite truck? seriously? exite truck?! wow.
I watched this and I thought it looks like a great idea. We'll just have to see how it's executed.

I didn't watch the video (was downloading like mad). I was refering to the terrain changes that I read about only. Excite Truck also has terrain changes. I'm sure this one is much better/looks more realistic,...etc...

It sounds kind of gimmicky to me, like it might seem pretty cool at first but the novelty will wear off quickly. But I guess I'll reserve judgement until I can play it. Its nice to see an attempt at some innovation though, there are way too many derivative shooters on the 360.

Amen to that!

Agreed.
