Re: Backbreaker Preview

I doubt it'll sell more than APF. A non-licensed game from a developer who has never developed a football game before? Add to that a new non-standard camera angle?

We've seen what kind of problems games put out by EA and 2k have, and they've put out tons of them. I can't imagine at 59.99 this tech demo will sell much.

Re: Backbreaker Preview

Id love to see another football option out there as much as the next guy, but........
Im firmly convinced that this is nothing but a sales pitch, to EA and others, about the game engine.

Re: Backbreaker Preview

People need to get over themselves and pick up this game. The game has been developed for over 2 years now, you think they are going to miss out on key features? These guys are Madden fans, I would doubt that they would leave out their favorite feature from that game such as franchise and whatever other gimmicks EA puts into that game. Honestly I wish people would stop calling this a tech demo. If it was there would be no game and EA 09 games would have the all new Euphoria engine

Wow, 2 years, I'm sure APF was banged out in six months and that's why it didn't have franchise mode. Madden's been in development forever, that's why it's perfect, right? Until I see gameplay videos that go beyond a bunch of idiots diving wildly in a minigame, it's a nice physics engine that I hope can produce a solid game, nothing more.

Agreed, at least in the instances where defenders aren't missing diving tackles by 2-3 yards.

Re: Backbreaker Preview

Actually I remember reading somewhere that they would be able to make BB a Red vs Blue type deal, XBLA title with the Euphoria engine. In the article it said that the size would be small enough to make it a XBLA title. I will search for the article again. I will post it if I find it. But I also read another article saying that it will be fully customizable, so we will have to see. IMO I hope it is a full fledge game with a franchise, sliders, etc. I would buy it to give it a chance. I know that it will be a slim chance that it will be perfect in the first try, heck Madden has been out for how long know and the cant even make a decent pocket but we will just see how this years version is. Euphoria looks great and I will be purchasing this. That has been my two cent and all IMO.

The XBLA rumor was from early 07 and has been disproved. This is a full game.

source? It has never been proved one way or another- the original article that i posted is the only one that mentions it at all. I think at this point it will be a full game, or it would have already been released; but nothing has technically been 'disproved'.

for the last time; it's not a 'tech demo' either...

the game needs to be good at least for it to be effective marketing their engine. It will also (rightfully so) amaze people that only 5-6 people made this ENTIRE game! ...that's really amazing,
imagine a game w/ 20+ teams, franchise, customization etc..made by 6 people!
