"Today we have got our first visual insight into what it’s actually going to be like to play NaturalMotion’s upcoming American football title, Backbreaker.

The video and screenshots demonstrate one of the title’s minigames, Tackle Alley. Where the runner, that’s you, makes a mad dash for the end zone while opposing tacklers do their best to take you down. What’s remarkable about this minigame I hear you ask? Well, it displays the Euphoria Engine being put to devilishly good use.

If you’ve been in a box the last year or so then you won’t know that the Euphoria is an AI engine that allows for believable and dynamic character animation, meaning that no two tackles, falls or dirty kicks to the groin will ever be the same. Other games making use of the engine include GTAIV and more notably Star Wars: The Force Unleashed."

 Look at those animations and physics! It looks amazing. It will never compete with Madden NFL sales wise, but maybe the game itself can compete with Madden NFL 08. Ik looks like a very solid American Football game if you look at the technical side. Thoughts?

Okay, so no relation to the upcoming Facebreaker boxing title.

Nobody cares?

The game looks like it plays amazing. I can't wait till this sees release. I hope they can flesh the rest of the title out. Looks like two football titles again this year.
