Backbreaker 2 Confirmed

While this is nice I don't understand why they would say this now before the 1st game is even released. Kinda stupid IMO because, If the 1st game doesn't pan out then....well I can let y'all figure out the rest.

Yeah they should have waited until the first game's release. I mean it's great they're planning a second one, it's just a little premature at this point in time.

If there is a second installment of Backbreaker. It won't be on the market until 2012. 2 years from now.

There is the possibility of Backbreaker 2. Simply because of the resources that Natural Motion has.

The Backbreaker application on i-phone has sold to over 1.5 million I-phone users. The BB application has just expanded to Android as well. So that's a whole new revenue stream for them and the application is also on The I-Pad.

Couple that with the revenue received for GTA IV, Star Wars The Force Unleashed and the #1 selling video game in the world right now in Red Dead Redemption. Natural Motion has a small team, no license to pay for and because of the euphoria engine's success. Their team has the resources to get a second installment out there.

I didn't know the app. was that successful. This makes a bit more sense now so hopefully the first game sells well. I didn't know NM engine was going to be in red dead redemption either.

My only question for BB2 would be are we going to have to wait another 3 1/2 years for it, without any sort of confirmed release date? lol

Funny cuz earlier today, when picking up Red Dead, I took my dough OFF BB. Whatever the case, I would guess they're in pre-planning for BB2. Who knows.

The application has been a big hit for NM. Tackle alley is alot of fun. It is probably going to be that much more fun to play on the console version.

Rockstar Games loves Euphoria. They used it in Grand Theft Auto IV and they are using it in Red Dead Redemption.

The Android app at 3x the price of the iphone app, it's exceeded 1000 downloads in the week or so it's been out.
