Backbreaker Developer: "Very Unlikely That We Will Revisit Full-On Football Again"

03:13 PM - October 7, 2011 by Steve_OS

Late Thursday night, a user on the Backbreaker forums posted a correspondence via private messaging with the head developer of the Backbreaker franchise, Todd Gibbs:

Quote:


	Unfortunately, and unofficially, it is very unlikely that we will revisit BB/full-on football again. The company has changed direction and is currently not looking at console game. I'll try to get the guys to do something more official and post on the forum. Thanks for all your support over the years, its been fun Todd

As of Friday morning, the official Backbreaker forums are down for maintenance, but the original post can still be seen via Google's cache feature.

If this is in fact the end of Backbreaker on consoles, at least the series retired a winner, with June's stellar Backbreaker: Vengeance, still available on Xbox Live Arcade, and on Playstation 3 in the PAL region.

Think they had a drag racing game being played on an iPad/iPhone (vs) during the Apple WWDC keynote also.

I asked them if Euphoria was licensed by a 3rd party developer that intends to make an American Football game. I knew I would not get an answer but why not try? I heard nothing. Maybe anyone interested in a Euphoria based football game should send them a similar e-mail, maybe someone will get lucky and get a response. I just want to know if something is in the works, the tech would work in the right hands.

Im a 3d artist and I'm about to make my own football video game like Backbreaker (since nobody else will and Madden sux)...let me know if u know anyone who is interested in helping....Right now I'm trying out game engines to see which one I like. (as far as physics)
Since Euphoria, Morpheme, and Endorphin are not an option...I'm pretty much deciding between CryEngine 3 and Unreal Engine 4.
Spread the word, I need all the help I can get....;p

Did you ever do anything? I'd be down to help if the plan was right.
