Fracture is "Competition for Gears of War"

Lucasarts' terrain-deforming shooter Fracture - which is in the shops today - is definitely competition for genre big boys Gears of War and Resistance 2, the developer told CVG.
Speaking to us in a recent interview, Lucasarts producer Shara Miller said that players going back to other shooters after Fracture will miss terrain deformation, which is apparently proof that the feature isn't a gimmick.
"When we've done focus groups people have said, 'This is definitely a Gears quality game' and 'Why can't I have terrain deformation in Halo?'," she said, "so it's great to be compared to those really well loved games.
"For a new IP I think that we've done a great job of evoking in people's minds that it's a game of that calibre."
You say your half-assed gimmick based game is a contender alongside Epic and Bungie, and then you roll a line like:
According to Miller it was important to Lucasarts to get Fracture out before the Christmas onslaught. "That was very important to us," she said.
That?! IGN and myself think differently...
