Backbreaker 2 Confirmed

but if they are a small studio then i'd view it as they don't have the luxury to continue working on a game if the first game ends up not selling well. in other words, if the first one sells poorly i could still see them scrapping the idea for a second. hate to be a negative nelly but just what i think..

I think it is possible they have already been backed to make a BB2. Even if BB doesn't sell well it is the future of how gaming will be made so being bought up or building a franchise game of their own in time is very possible. It's clear the potential of Euphoria. I don't know if they would be getting payed to work on a game that could well be scrapped in a couple of months. Not how business is done usually.

It could go either way but just the fact that he mentioned it leads me to believe it will be released regardless of sales, I think this guy is very confident in the product he's putting out. Now 505 games may not publish it if sales are terrible, but that's another discussion.

Woooo can't wait for the BB and now they will indeed make BB2...shows that they are committed on mAking this a great game

Great news! It gives the team a chance to fine tune things that maybe didn't work in the first one. It isn't realistic to think they will do everything right (or even acceptably) in their first shot. I really hope their investment pays off. I will be there to buy on 6/1/10!

I will say this, this is the only way any football game can ever hope to compete with Madden....with a company that will commit to it. That was 2K's problem with their APF...it was an experiment and an experiment is not good enough...a company needs to be in it for a longhaul and build brand familarity..

I'm sure people got rolling on NFL 2K6 and NFL Fever 2005..

They definitely did, and they did with APF 2K9 as well. We all know how those games turned out...
