Re: Backbreaker Video: TV Commercial Spot
A small development team of 6 people came up with a idea of a football game to show off their product.. Going into it they were happy just to get their product out and hoping that it will catch on... So they worked very hard on this game and I'm sure they had tons of other work going on. I think they have done a tremendous job on what they had showed us so far.. Someone said earlier that they had been working on 4 years and it should be basically a perfect game... BS on that... Other developers have been working on their game for 20 years and they still can't get basics in the game as they say " didn't have time to get that in there maybe next year".. Other developers try to lure you in with gimmicks and change the outside of the product we see.. However, They are just giving a nice coat of candy, but this inside is still the same.. Take 2k football for instance. NFL 2k came out with the Dreamcast in 99 I Believe.. A few years later they had 2k5... 2k5 was a amazing game. sure it had it's issues but the game WAS FOOTBALL, They had running b acks turning their torsos to get through a line.. They had lineman and others making blocks when they should've, They had the presentation that was truly ahead of it's time, They had graphics that would hold out today, They had a bunch of little things that made that game great.. Like cloud shadows floating across the field.. Ai had some issues of coarse but overall is was very good... I tell ya, To this day I believe if EA didn't get the license one of two things would've happened.. The game would've improved every year so much that 1. We wouldn't have Madden anymore or 2 we would have two truly amazing games because Ea's version wouldn't have a choice but to advance and change things..
To say you wouldn't give them any slack is totally lame... I listened to the backbreaker conference call.. I came away very impressed with what I heard.. They didn't throw injuries in there because it's supposed to be there. They didn't throw it in there because if they couldn't perfect it at that time, They aren't comfortable with it being in their game.. They took a different approach... They want to put you on the field.. What a FOOTBALL player see's, You can see... What a football player hears, You can hear..
The first game ever of madden or any other company first game, Do you think they said "I'll think I'll develop a football game and 3 months later had the game out??
That's all I got... If the game sucks then it sucks.. But if the game has potential in the future I sure will give them slack to give us a good product.. The hypnosis game works on alot of people but it sure won't work on me... Other games have gimmicks.. because they tell us gimmicks in blogs, commercials, and radio ads, It doesn't mean I'm biting!
