Backbreaker 2 Confirmed

Funny cuz earlier today, when picking up Red Dead, I took my dough OFF BB. Whatever the case, I would guess they're in pre-planning for BB2. Who knows.

I didn't know the app. was that successful. This makes a bit more sense now so hopefully the first game sells well. I didn't know NM engine was going to be in red dead redemption either.

The application has been a big hit for NM. Tackle alley is alot of fun. It is probably going to be that much more fun to play on the console version.

Rockstar Games loves Euphoria. They used it in Grand Theft Auto IV and they are using it in Red Dead Redemption.

The Android app at 3x the price of the iphone app, it's exceeded 1000 downloads in the week or so it's been out.

Yeah I heard the app is fun and addictive. I'm not a fan of mini games in sports games, but Tackle Alley looks like a blast, especially with 2 people!

Yeah tackle alley online is going to be probably one of the best modes in the game IMO. I can kinda see people(not a lot) buying the game based on the tackle alley. I mean If they love the app. I can see people spending money on the actual game.

but if they are a small studio then i'd view it as they don't have the luxury to continue working on a game if the first game ends up not selling well. in other words, if the first one sells poorly i could still see them scrapping the idea for a second. hate to be a negative nelly but just what i think..

Youre right, IF it doesnt sell....But i think it will sell enough....Theyve made a calculated risk that depends on how well this thing sells. They have less overhead than say..EAsports.or 2Ksports so their financial projections might be lower..

they would be crazy NOT to try and get a piece of this HUGE football pie that EA and 2K are trying to horde. What if BB1 is great needing only a few features added and minor tweaks for BB2?

I say its time for something new, Madden isnt worth the money anymore IMO

[blackscorpion11]

They've already ruled out DLC.

No problem, they gave us the tools to CREATE OUR OWN DLC. I'm lovin that!!

Want throwback helmets? create em..every team is an art project.. imagine the replay value in that?

It is time for something new but, we don't even know if BB is worth the money yet. I can only hope it's a great game that only needs few features and minor tweaks for a second iteration. A 2 year(hopefully 2 and a half at the most and not 3 year) cycle would also help even more to. I'm just guessing but, I don't think it would take another 3 years to make the second BB.

Epiffani, going gold in this context has nothing to do with sales, it basically means the game is completed and copies are being made ready for retail.

Re: Backbreaker 2 Confirmed

IF there is a BB2, some of the following would be must-have additions:

- injuries
- fatigue
- online and offline franchise mode enhancements
- better player models (shoulder pads that big went out back in 1977!! and even those did not have faux-abs on them!!!)
- user-defined camera angles for all gameplay modes (I am all for the experiment to get the camera on the field and give players a new perspective, but I would LOVE to see this game running from the Madden/NCAA/2K camera angle as well...or better still from my own custom created camera views depending on the play called - you know like we once upon a time had the ability to do on Madden!)

A BB2 with all (or even most) of those things AND an NFL-license in 2012 would be very good for all football gamers because it would seriously kick EA in the nuts and FORCE them to address the myriad of stagnant, stale and flat out broken aspects of their current offering...
