Tech demo status to prove something to EA?
In my opinion, this downloadable game was a necessary step for BB2. Generate revenue, attract an audience, and work on in-game mechanics as this can be their stepping stone toward their next game.

The did it backwards actually. They should have built a foundation with their downloadable games first and then made the actually Backbreaker.


Captain Hindsight to the rescue.

I know that much, but I'm saying while that didn't happen, it's good that they didn't jump straight to a sequel as well.

I just don't see this doing well in the glare of the NCAA demo and PR cycle at $15. Should have come out a month ago.

If this game doesn't do well.. barely makes an appearance on Major Nelson's top 10 or 15 whatever it is, and then is never seen from again, then this is the last BB console release of any kind IMO.

This is spot on. I'm betting this is their last attempt at a console version unless they team up with a company like 2k or EA.

Latest on Twitter from their CEO:

Quote:
BB Vengeance on PS3: we'd love to bring you the game in the US, but it’s down to SCEA. Nothing to do with money or exclusivity.
So they just couldn't get a deal done w/ Sony.

Saw the new gamespot gameplay video. I'm not feeling this one at all.

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Video - Arrives on XBLA on June 29, No PS3 Release

Notes from Q&A today:

- Demo/trial was confirmed (like all arcade games)

- "Backbreaker Vengeance is using an all-new locomotion system, which is more responsive than the previous one"

- there have been discussions, but NM remains the only user of Euphoria in a sports game

I am not sure there is a 4 human players mode, after reading this question:

"In backbreaker vengeance will I be able to play supremacy with 3 of my friends and an AI player online?"

The answer given was:

"You can play with up to two players on one box (splitscreen), and up to two boxes online. So, you could play with up to two human players and two AI for a total of four players overall"

To me that means only 2 human players max, not 4.

- Rivals system mentioned for the first time (but no details), first I've heard of that I think?
