#Fracked review free#
Movement is an important part of this adventure, as the devs state ‘Venture through a harsh and dangerous mountain locale by seamlessly transitioning between a host of first-person free movement methods. Save the day, to save the world.’įracked has you run, ski and zipline through a fracking facility to stop the nefarious plans of the villains. Fracked is in-your-face action with a cutting commentary on corporate greed and the climate change emergency. Across one day, take on an interdimensional army that combines hive mind mentality and gun-wielding supremacy – the perfect targets to unload round upon round into. You’re probably wondering what the game is actually about, so here’s a brief plot summary from the devs ‘The corporation dug too deep unleashing the ‘Fracked’ from the depths below. That all changes now, though, as this thrilling title makes it’s way to PCVR for the first time ever. Today, EDC continues our legal action to defend the 2018 ruling and secure a permanent ban on fracking and acidizing from platforms off our coast.Snowbound action VR title Fracked flew under the radar of most when it originally released on PSVR, with some claiming that the potential of the game wasn’t met with the limitations of the frankenstein’s monster VR platform that is PSVR. The federal government and oil industry appealed the ruling. This ruling temporarily halts all fracking and acidizing from West Coast offshore platforms until wildlife agencies can be consulted and the California Coastal Commission is given an opportunity to review these practices. In November 2018, EDC secured another victory on this important issue when a federal judge issued a ruling declaring that the federal government violated environmental protection laws when approving permits for these dangerous well stimulation techniques. In November 2016, this time joined by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, EDC once again filed a first-in-the-nation lawsuit against federal agencies for failure to consider risks to threatened and endangered species and inadequate environmental review and consultation prior to approving these potentially harmful projects. Unfortunately, the federal agencies’ quick environmental analysis was deeply flawed and alarmingly concluded that these practices have no significant impacts.

EDC successfully settled that lawsuit in early 2016 securing the first ever environmental review of these risky offshore practices as well as a new level of public transparency.

In 2014, we filed a lawsuit challenging the government’s failure to provide for public and environmental review prior to issuing permits authorizing fracking and acidizing. Acidizing similarly injects chemicals, primarily hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, down the well bore to dissolve rock and access oil and gas. Fracking is the controversial and risky technique in which sand, water, and an unknown cocktail of chemicals are forced down a well bore at high pressure to stimulate the flow of oil or gas – a technique that presents enormous risks to our marine environment. This report provided the first comprehensive look at how oil companies have escaped notice for years while conducting hydraulic fracturing (aka fracking) and acid well stimulation (acidizing) operations from oil platforms off our shores. EDC released the report: Dirty Water: Fracking Offshore California, in late 2013. In 2011, EDC research uncovered the fact that Venoco had fracked from an oil platform off our coast, spurring us to dig deeper to determine if more fracking operations had happened or were planned in the Santa Barbara Channel.
