    Re: Backbreaker Video

    So I guess the trendy word is "vaporware." Backbreaker is an idea taken from a small company that wants to make an attempt to introduce something they feel is missing in a football videogame. Like any other development cycle, I'm sure they have setbacks etc., and it has been frustrating to see very little from this team, but I'll always be supportive and hopeful for people that are trying to innovate.

    They're making an effort and we have no idea what's before them as far as setbacks etc.
    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

      No one has forgotten it. But all it was was a glorified tech demo, it showed nothing of what the game could do with real football (11v11).

      Like most have said, this game is the Duke Nukem of football games right now.

        Good post, Dave...I agree. Personally, I'm really looking forward to playing it sometime this year.

          IIRC the lack of info and setbacks have been due to not having a publisher.

          They ended up getting one, I forget who, I'm sure it's on their forums.



          There is a guarantee from them that we will get information before E3, followed by a showing at E3. So we have around 3 weeks until we know more about this game.

              Backbreaker II? Can we at least wait until we see Backbreaker I on the shelves before we start talking about 2?

                    Midway sounds about right...

                    It's not that I don't support upstart groups who want to fill a void in certain areas of gaming, I just object to the treatment of this title like it's the "second coming" of videogame football before we've ever seen a single image from it that looks like a GAME, as opposed to a CGI movie about football.

                    Even if they could actually get this thing released, the natural order of things dictates that there will probably be significant problems with it (akin to how EA, an established developer, struggled with Madden '06 and '07), and then the only shot at getting those fixed would be if this new IP could actually generate enough money to warrant a sequel.

                    If 2k sports couldn't suceed well enough for all of those things to happen, why are we so sure that this graphics design project could be any better?

                      Sure. All I'm saying is that if Backbreaker sucks, there for sure won't be a BBII. So I want BB to be good, so there'll be at least the possibility of a sequel.

                        Looks like this game is taking soo long to come out that by the time it does Madden will have better technology. It seems they already do with 9 person gang tackling. lol

                            I highly doubt anyone has ever seen a 9 man gang tackle in the NFL. Not talking about a pile up but an actual 9 men holding on to the ball carrier on his feet. If they guy can not be tackled by 2 let alone 3 NFL players? First he is a beast or second time to find some better tacklers.

                              That is true, but this will allow for pile-on tackles. I hate those goal line plays with an HB dive play that, if stopped by a defender or two, is just that. Everyone else is blocking/running around while only one guy tackles him.

                              And I've said before that one big thing this physics engine will allow is a better momentum system. You know, F = m*v.

                                I don't think this is "the second coming", I just hope it's better than the garbage EA puts out every year. I still buy NCAA every year because I'm dumb and have no other football option. I just want options, so I am a little excited at the prospect of another football game.
