IceBreaker Hockey From the Makers of Backbreaker?

Destructoid has the scoop.

Quote:

"NaturalMotion, the chaps currently working on 505 Games' BackBreaker, has filed a trademark for a similarly titled game -- IceBreaker Hockey. So far, all we know is that NaturalMotion has reserved the name. There's no guarantee that it's making the game right now, but with a title like IceBreaker, who could refuse?"

WOW! I am always up for more hockey titles on the market, especially with NHL 2K apparently going the way of the buffalo this year. If Backbreaker succeeds, I will be excited for the prospects of a hockey version (IceBreaker, apparently) with NaturalMotion technology.

In a perfect world, I would have 2K solely taking a publisher's role on IceBreaker and attaching NHL teams, arenas and players to the game, as that just may be *the* thing to finally get NHL 2K selling again, but it's only wishful thinking on my part...but still, how much do you think the NHL and NHLPA licenses would cost?

Anyway, even if the game comes fully customizable and unlicensed, I'll still be happy. At least there'll be some much-needed variety in the hockey gaming market. Best news I've heard all day.

A basketball game would be great as well

I was just asking myself why NHL Hits wasn't being made considering it was the best gamecube game of all time

I think they will wait and see how backbreaker sells first. I am all for more options in sports gaming.

Same here. You can never go wrong with more options.
