Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

IGN has posted their preview of Backbreaker.

Quote:
"Controlling your player as he makes his way down the field is easy. Holding the right trigger sends him into aggressive mode where more powerful moves open up. While holding the trigger you'll not only run faster, but you'll also be able to lower your head into a battering ram and stiff arm guys out of the way. To land a stiff arm properly you'll need to make sure that the ball is being carried in the proper hand. Unlike in Madden where this is handled automatically by the AI, in Backbreaker you'll need to press the A button (X on PS3) to switch hands.

In order to perform more delicate moves on the field you'll need to release the right trigger. That's where you'll find standard jukes, hurdles and spin moves. It's interesting, as you streak down the field, to watch the true physical interactions take place in front of you. For a stiff arm to land, you'll need connect your hand to the defender's upper-body. If it glances off of him, you're going down."
Platform: PS3 / Xbox 360

I'm loving the low camera angles. Hopefully we can create NFL teams and Logo's and that they have a EA Locker style thing so the community can upload their best work.

Looks pretty good, not perfect but I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Im sorry, this game has yet to show me anything worth playing it.

To me, it just looks like another Blitz game with better hits.

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

sounds good. As usual I'll keep an eye on the game until it releases. I'm happy their not comprimizing to some minor but vocal people that have posted on their forums since the beginning. A lot of people just want madden w/ euphoria. I'm glad they're putting us in the action like the roadie cam from gears, and doing something different.

Keep that camera angle on both offense and defense
It's like a beefed up superstar mode w/ balls.

Some of the writters complaints weren't clear to me either. Like seeing the guy with the ball - was that because he just wanted to know who had it while playing defense, or that taking an angle to cut off the runner would result in you losing sight of him?
That would seem odd since you can focus on the closest defender on offense, so maybe you can focus on a targeted offensive player while playing defense.

I'm glad to hear it's progressing and they're moving forward.

Now, I'd like to hear why all the embargo crap? chase?
