Fracture Preview

VideoGamer.com: Might there be a sequel?

SM: Only time will tell. I think a lot of people really have their hearts set on a sequel.

VideoGamer.com: Without spoiling the ending is it something that leaves the door open for a sequel?

SM: It definitely, definitely leaves the door open. It's quite a satisfying ending in of itself. You could also see where it goes from there big time.

VideoGamer.com: Will messing about with the terrain deformation mechanic in multiplayer keep people playing?

SM: Yeah. It's definitely something they've never seen before. I've seen the guys in the lab, they've been playing this game in multiplayer for a year, and they're still having a great time with it. And they're inventing new game modes and they're using the TD in different ways and trying new things. It's really cool to see how the experience has evolved for them. And these are the most jaded salty guys that you're ever going to talk to. They're hardcore gamers. They naturally are haters. And the fact that you walk into the lab and they're hooting and hollering and laughing, and like, 'hey, snipers versus shotguns!', it's very very cool to see that and that gives us all just so much confidence about what the game is going to bring to people who love multiplayer, which is a lot of people.

VideoGamer.com: Will there be Trophies in the PS3 version?

SM: There are no Trophies in the game. There was just a weird timing with when Trophies, when the technology was released, versus when we were already sort of passed that point. It was a real bummer.

VideoGamer.com: Is Trophies something you might be able to introduce retroactively?

SM: It's definitely something we've explored but right now it doesn't seem feasible. At least not for Fracture. It was definitely something we looked into though.

VideoGamer.com: How do the PS3 and 360 graphics compare?

SM: They both look great. They look very similar in fact. They're both exactly the same except for the Achievements versus Trophies. That's the only bummer about the whole thing. But other than that they're totally the same.

VideoGamer.com: Thanks for your time.

Fracture is out now for Xbox 360 and PS3.
