Backbreaker Video: Developer Diary #2 - Euphoria (Gamespot)

The tackles are unbelievable to say the least (nothing has ever come close to this kind of tackling in videogames) and the toucdown at the end of the trailer was flawless imo..this will be REAL football!

That video was awesome. Those mid-air collisions looked great. I can't wait for May 18th. Day one purchase, no doubt.

Now we need to know about the details of the game modes and how the defense plays. That video looks a lot better than the first one. Hopefully they have the defensive decision working great. If that is working, then this is looking like a great game.

Lol, i dont think anyone in their right mind could actually say 'madden still owns this piece of trash' after watching that video.

Certainly many people will still prefer madden, but come on, that was pretty respectable in its own right.

Good bye Madden...it was a pleasure. Please don't take it personal.

Keeps looking better and better. I can see where it needs some work but nothing that will cause me to even think about not purchasing day one.

I like how they showed the helmet with the Falcons logo too.

I just hope more info is coming soon. I don't mind the diaries because they are showing off the tech. But I can't wait till they start showing a game being played or how it will look when we play it.

I'm not there yet. I'm getting both games. (NCAA Football 11 is the one that's questionable.) Madden has the NFL license, and it offers a different gaming experience from Backbreaker.

However, an interesting point was made in this video.

How will people be able to go back to "canned animations" after playing Backbreaker? Will Backbreaker fundamentally change the way you view Madden?

There's no doubt the envelope has been pushed. People will want an NFL licensed Backbreaker. The NFL has to realize they're not serving the fans with the exclusivity deal. Anyway, enough of that. That's a familiar gripe.

I like the new video. Well done.

Those are some badass mid-air collisions.

Game looks better every time they show it.
