Backbreaker trailer

Without the NFL license this will probably not be able to compete with Madden. Looks pretty good though.

Backbreaker Videos (X360)
Backbreaker is the first football game with truly interactive tackles. By utilizing the motion synthesis engine, euphoria, players will never make the same tackle twice, giving them an intensely unique experience every time they play the game.

I look forward to the tackling engine. Hopefully this will be what 2K5 was on the Dreamcast, and it'll catch Madden off guard.

Re: Backbreaker trailer

Came out today with little publicity. I am guessing it will go the way of All-Pro Football by 2K Sports. Can hardly find any reviews. Xbox doesn't even have a forum for it on the site.

I'm thinking of renting or waiting a few months and picking it up for $20

Re: Backbreaker trailer

All Pro Football had an incredible amount of goodwill behind it and it still sold extremely poorly. This will sell even less.

However, if this was a 400 point game on XBLA and the only part was running back kickoffs I'd buy it in a second, because that one portion of the game IS AWESOME.

Re: Backbreaker trailer

It's a shame. If EA didn't have exclusive NFL rights, I wonder how this and a 2K game would sell.

Re: Backbreaker trailer

I tried playing the demo last week but it was awful. The one camera angle and controls ruin the game.

Camera. This is the sole reason it will not sell as well as it should.
