Backbreaker Video Interview: First Live Action Video Game Sports Title

[bonannogiovanni]

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.

Ok, I have to have this game. Now! Period.

Love the new video and interview. A must see for sure.

The biggest selling point for me which is brought up significantly in this 9 minute video besides the cool gameplay in the background is total customization.

It is spelled out for everyone. You can re-create any team from any league. The editing tool is so deep that there are no limits to what you can create as the user.

You can create the entire NFL if you want. There are two seperate franchise modes. In one of them, You can have a 32 team league with all of your created teams.

hype meter just went to code red.

Sold! I am getting this game Day One. No doubt about it. This video just tripled my level of excitement for this game.

The customization will be outstanding. The gameplay will be so unique and innovative. I am pumped up!

Player vs. Player on-line will be a blast with friends and OSers. Now which system to get it for....hmmm. I'm leaning towards 360.
