We have just posted our first preview of Backbreaker.

Quote:


	"Last summer, NaturalMotion announced the development of their new football game, Backbreaker, and the nature of the game has been shrouded in mystery since that time. We've known from the beginning that Backbreaker looks to become the first sports game to implement the euphoria engine, heralded for its realistic physics simulation. Information regarding the game has come in small doses since the initial announcement, but let's take a look at what we know about Backbreaker."

from a purely selfish perspective, I don't care when it comes out. I'm not getting either of those games you mention because I don't have fun playing them. I don't even care if backbreaker sells a lot, I just want to try it for myself. I hope it's good enough/feature rich to warrant a buy from me.

my motto for this game is ' as long as i like it, who cares '.
if it sucks, ...that will be too bad, because i'll only have the occaisonal apf2k8 re-run

I really think they could have taken advantage of all the Madden hype going around right now. People are in such a football mood they would buy and use the customization to make some NFL teams.

No way they would do that after what happened to APF 2k8. I heard on the BACKBREAKER message board, somewhere around Dcember, which is smart considering its holiday season .

APF 2K8 came out the same day that NCAA Football 08 with little marketing push, IIRC. In fact, the only place I saw APF commercials was during WWE broadcasts. That game as a whole from my perspective was sort of a red-headed stepchild of 2K's 08 sports lineup, despite the tradition of the NFL2K series.

Not saying that it would have done better by leaps and bounds had 2K done a better job with pushing it, but they certainly weren't doing APF any favors.

With regard to Backbreaker, if it's not going to come out this summer, perhaps playoff time / holiday season would be the best time for it; people are still excited about football, and it is going to bring something new to the table with this new physics engine. The rest of the game will need to match the promise of this new engine, however; this remains to be seen.

The release date is currently a TBA 2008. But the devs on the forums assured a 2008 release date.
