Maybe this is the game Free Radical Design are working on. They've said they are working on a secret lucasarts project.

It wouldn't be secret if it has already been revealed.
And Day 1 Studios is working on Fracture, Force Unleashed is being developed in-house at LucasArts.

deformation isn't all that hard to do anyways. I've done a rough version of it on OpenGL. Someone really shouldn't base an entire game off of it, unless its some next gen bob the builder game. That said, having it in a solid action game as an added feature could be pretty cool. Red Faction was fun as all heck when it came out.

You have a terrain deformation GUN. From what i remember. When enemies are shooting you, you can just aim at the ground and pop up some cover. THATS what theyre going for. But let me know when you make a full game based upon it. Im looking forward to this game.

There are lots of videos on it.

I think it would be a bit like Crysis, and would need quit a high spec computer to run either of the games.

High Spec or not that is a great selling point for a PC game. PC games don't sell as fast as console games, but in long run they do draw in large numbers. MMOs are the only quick bucks Developer's get on the PC platform. Believe it or not it is likely it can run on almost any current PC. Don't underestimate the PC hardware it is much more powerful than the consoles. Physics coding on the PC is still little new and the CPU still does most of the work for that at the moment. Depending on the coding though some GPUs might pick it up as well and speed things up in a little bit. The game should still run well on any top PC with at least 30 or so FPS. It would be about like Crysis, but just a little faster. GPUs are only hindering thing at the moment for the current PC gaming trends. The new DirectX 10 cards run some games well on DirectX 10 on max, but they are not near their potential just yet. Crysis on max doesn't get 10 fps. Crysis on Medium hits the average number. I blame the GPUs. ATI and NVIDIA arn't pushing DirectX 10 yet. On Average most DirectX 10 games run around upper 20-40 fps with max settings.

This is not Free Radical's project. Most likely Free Radical's project would be BattleFront III. Bioware's rumored Star Wars MMO is likely KOTOR III or a KOTOR MMO. Either way something might make an appearance at E3 or the other Gaming show if E3 is around this time.

I really hope they release Battlefront III. I love BF games.
A KOTOR MMO would be pretty sweet as long as they didn't they still had the moral system we all loved in that game.

Can't wait for Force Unleashed. I love all Star Wars games, and i always want to take on the role of 'The dark side'.

Fracture sounds pretty cool, but its not worth commenting untill more details are out.
