Backbreaker Video Interview: First Live Action Video Game Sports Title

[SouthernBrick]

I liked that what he said, It becomes a game of instinct and Its not about looking at a bunch of different angles and trying to work everything out. Your not playing chess your playing football.

At 9:00 in the vid does that look like a some kinda pro tak moment or is that blocking? It looks like 3 defenders and one ball carrier IMO but, I can't really tell.

Check the blindside hit at 8:33! THAT's what I wanted to see! Yeah.. the OL is messed on the play but it doesn't matter. I just wanted to see how that camera looks when a blind side hit happens. It looks phenomenal!

I'm getting excited!

Is this the first time they've shown us kick plays? Kicking looked right stick driven, which is a good thing, but I didn't get how it works exactly, do you?

Looks great, cant wait. I wonder if they gonna do basketball...that would be interesting

He keeps mentioning 3rd person, but I can't recall a 3rd person game that set the camera that close to the player. They either need to go all out with a FPS view or pull the camera up just a little. Saying the game isn't chess wasn't the best marketing lingo to use either, though I get what he was striving for which was 'action'.

Great video. Man, I haven't been this excited for a sports game since APF 2K8.

If this game is good I'll be doing the rosters for sure.

I thought the same thing. I was like "wait... I use the 'chess match' example all the time as to what I enjoy most!". You know, I'm okay with a guy putting out another take at a football game. I'm looking forward to the new camera angle. The "God view" gives us Armchair QB's (shoutout to the ACQB league! lol) too easy of a time, especially if they are going to be forgiving about not having to set our feet and such. The restrictions are welcomed by me.

I do get a little worried about the talk about wanting children to pick up and play easily. I hate losing to 12 year olds in video games lol. I know I did in Madden and FPS. Depressing.
