Backbreaker Vengeance Interview

[Steve_OS]

Cheat Code Central has posted their Backbreaker Vengeance interview with the Natural Motion team.

Quote:

CCC: What lessons did you learn from the original Backbreaker? NM: We've learned that people love playing a game that's truly live. The old approach of canned action and sports just don't go together. This is why we were so proud of how Euphoria transformed Backbreaker into a truly live experience. To be totally honest – and maybe not surprisingly – we also learnt that writing an entire 11v11 football game from scratch is a lot of work. Luckily, we've done all the heavy lifting on this now and have an absolutely amazing codebase and team to build upon.

Sounds like a full-fledged sequel is inevitably on the horizon:

He is talking about as a foundation. Which he should be proud of they have built a pretty solid foundation.

No it isn't, that's the previous question.

Interview with 'the Natural Motion Team' and it's only 6 questions?

It would be good if they could make a sequel, this would have a major following.If it adds all aspects of Sim football, with a few year under their belt, this could become a great game.
