About the read the thread but I just wanted to say this before I post more detailed impressions:

-there is nothing more rewarding than a well timed blitz. Especially when you get a clean shot at the Qb.

-Getting hit as a QB while in focus mode is... wow.. words cant explain it.

More impressions later.

Really enjoying the demo.
For now I have given up on switching during the play and instead playing as SS It feels a bit more realistic to me to play my position and when I read a play and make an interception or tackle it is really rewarding.

I have to trust the rest of my team to make the plays they are supposed to.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

lol There's no point in going back and forth. You're wrong.

Those on the boards can believe whomever or WHATEVER they choose. But make no mistake about it, you're wrong. I just outlined to you the process.

But some still believe in Santa too, so hey...

Ok Matt Young, you are so correct. Pared has been involved in community days, etc. with developers so he is wrong..................and I guess I am wrong too. You know it all.

No offense, but he's not wrong. It takes lots of time to make a demo from a full release. The game just went gold last week. I guarantee the demo code was branched from the core long before last week.

Which is why you see some games may not release a demo until AFTER the full title is released. This was the case with the baseball titles this year. They can be done with it on their end, but Sony and MS sit on certifications which push back the demo release so late. Hence the reason things are complete so early.

But hey... believe whatever you would like.

We should probably get back on topic though.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I didn't say anything about it being put together last week. And I've had interactions with developers, know people in the game industry, have worked for gaming sites, and have been an E3 attendee.

I know it's considered sacrilege to either bring up a game's flaws/glitches or to disagree with an established memebr when you're a newer guy, but I'm not just making stuff up. Do I know that what I said is what they did here with Backbreaker? Absolutely not. But is it indeed the case most of the time? Yes.

Please note that, while I firmly stand behind my statements, I mean no ill will or disrespect, nor do I wish for this to turn into a malicious argument.

How about you take the whether its alpha or beta into another thread because this one is for impressions man.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

whiffing on a tackle and over pursuing has never felt so good.

How about you read the thread? Because...

A) I'm not the one who brought it up, and
B) The debate is not about whether this is an alpha or a beta. It is neither.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Then you're misinformed or have misunderstood what they told you.

I've seen the process take place. There's nothing left to argue on my part, so... yeah. If someone believes the sky is green, I can't stop them.

(I tap out fellas haha)

But again, let's sway the discussion back to the game...

If you have an issue with something, there is still a chance it can be changed in the final (much like we've seen in demos from The Show, NBA 2k, NBA Live, Madden and NHL).

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

This game takes some getting used to for sure. However, I immediately noticed just how varied and impressive the player interactions are relative to other games. In my first tackle alley, I was running hard toward the end zone and the defender went low for a tackle but my guy was still able to fall into the endzone.

Really feels fluid and organic relative to the competition. A breath of fresh air in a genre that has been dominated by the lack of innovation.

How about just go back to impressions before it ends up as an infraction for being off topic
