Operations Sports - Late Thursday night, a user on the Backbreaker forums posted a correspondence via private messaging with the head developer of the Backbreaker franchise, Todd Gibbs:
The jury is in! Today American football enthusiasts in search of a new way to dominate on the virtual gridiron have voted with their controllers by downloading the Backbreaker demo more than one million times. Backbreaker, the groundbreaking euphoria-powered American football game from 505 Games and NaturalMotion.
Ex: It takes a special kind of developer - impervious to critical blasts and devoted to their product - to spend months working on a patch that literally improves their game on almost every front after its major sales window has passed. The team at NaturalMotion seem determined to turn Backbreaker into a successful franchise, and their recent overhaul to the game is a strong step in that direction. Rounding out the massive Greathouse update released this month was a revamped replay feature.
505 Games and NaturalMotion Games announced today that Greathouse, the update to their euphoria-powered American Football game, Backbreaker, is available for download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The update introduces brand new features, gameplay enhancements and dozens of important tweaks, resulting in a greatly enriched Backbreaker experience.
A day after releasing news of its behemoth patch on Xbox 360, the folks who make Backbreaker say its free iPhone version has picked up a Kentucky Fried Chicken sponsorship. Runners will now celebrate with, what else, the Chicken Dance.
Ex: In a move that shows serious dedication to both their community and the Backbreaker franchise, NaturalMotion Games have lifted the lid on Greathouse, the forthcoming update to their euphoria-powered football game, Backbreaker. The community inspired update introduces brand new features, gameplay enhancements and tons of important tweaks.
Ex: Despite its mixed critical reception, NaturalMotion's Backbreaker still has a strong legion of fans, and offers a promising glimpse at what true physics-based football games can be like. It didn't contain the sizzle or presentation of Madden, but it did offer some downright visceral - if flawed - on field action. Fortunately for existing owners of the game, and folks still on the fence, the development team at NaturalMotion have just announced they're working on a 'major patch.'
