Backbreaker Fact Sheet and Screenshots

[Steve_OS]

Check out the official fact sheet for Backbreaker. We've also included 5 more screenshots.

"Setting a new standard in football video games, Backbreaker rushes the genre with a new playbook for hard‐hitting action. Players take control of an unmatched on‐field experience boasting realistic, physics‐based AI for an endless variety of unique sacks and tackles, making canned animations a last‐season memory. With crisp high‐definition graphics and a third‐person camera angle that follows the perspective of the ball handler, Backbreaker puts players in the heart of the game. Rookies can easily pick‐up‐and‐play thanks to Backbreaker’s intuitive Arcade Mode control scheme, while veteran players can enjoy the game’s more difficult Pro Mode that turns off AI assists.

Featuring 11 versus 11 matches, Backbreaker also boasts online multiplayer for up to four players and split‐screen multiplayer modes. With total team customization, players can create their own rosters and adjust their team’s colors, logos and more. Going on the offense from kickoff to end zone, Backbreaker is how football was meant to be played on next‐gen consoles. Players can hit the gridiron with Backbreaker for Xbox 360™ and PLAYSTATION®3 platforms in spring 2010."

"Custom" uniforms all look the same, just different colors. The 4th pic looks kind of strange. 4 people about 15 yds apart trying for the same pass.

I'll be glad to play it though when/if it comes out.

This is all I needed to know. This means people here at OS will fully convert these puppies to NFL teams with up to date rosters. I can't wait. I need a new football engine, EA's Madden & NCAA engine is killing my gaming. I haven't played hardcore like I used to in 3 years because of the quality.

Definitely will be a deal breaker.

And I REALLY wish they would have modeled players and equipment more modern and realistic. This will be a fun rental. But I have no plans to commit to spending $60 for a demo of an awesome physics engine.

100% agree even if there is no franchise mode the full custmization will probally get me to buy it anyways. That is if the physics turn out the way I think they are going to and the gamplay overall is solid.

Also I am not sure where it is has been said that their is no franchise mode for sure. I don't think that has been confirmed.

Honestly though if the physics and gameplay turn out to be top notch along with full customization I could stomach only having a season mode. I really never liked franchise modes that much in anything other than college football games anyways.

I'm going to buy it unless it just gets absolute horrible reviews. My reasoning: help the competition to force other companies to work harder. The more competition between game companies the better quality product gamers get to enjoy.

Franchise mode smanchise mode.

I played several hundred games of All Pro Football 2K8 because the gameplay was simply that good.

I see no reason why this game won't be just as fun.

What he said^

I dont see why people are getting so upset at no franchise mode. Like Madden's franchise mode works great. LOL

Re: Backbreaker Fact Sheet and Screenshots

I hope they have a fileshare feature so we can have an official OS Backbreaker ratings panel that works on a kick butt official NFL AND NCAA roster.

I wonder what the rating system is like. I'll be very interested to see what take Backbreaker uses. There's a lot of precedent set out there for ratings with abilities, and extremely intricate ratings by EA. I'd be just giddy if they went the ability route. Quick Hit went that way - but they are former 2k'ers. I'm more inclined to think we'll see numbers.

It looks like we won't be getting any league functions.. but that's totaly okay. We can run that on OS no problemo. I just need the superior gameplay and no canned tackles!!!

This game has me curious.

With a franchise mode, it will be twice as fun.
