Backbreaker an arcade game?
Thursday, August 21, 2008I guess at this point any information is good information. The death of backbreaker hasn’t been announced rather that the football game with true dynamic physics is being shown to a few people in the press.
Here’s a piece of information that shouldn’t be overlooked. Backbreaker is going for the arcade crowd. I don’t know quite what to make of it. Yes the author makes the ridiculous statement that Madden has the simulation crown.
The altered control style isn't the only way that Backbreaker plans to separate itself from the pack. Rather than gunning for the simulation crown that Madden currently holds, NaturalMotion is going for arcade gameplay that has the most realistic motion ever seen in a videogame. You'll see things like defenders taking off from three yards away to lay the smack down on an unsuspecting quarterback and airborne receivers getting flipped end over end when trying to make a catch. It's nowhere near as ridiculous as Midway's Blitz but it does cash in on the same freedoms that come with the lack of the NFL license.
