Backbreaker: First NaturalMotion Developer Diary Video

The team at NaturalMotion has put out a developer diary series to better help prospective players understand what the game will be about. To be clear, this is not another Madden clone. You won’t see a “god mode” camera that lets you see the entire field, instead your perspective will be third person giving you a more “on the field” experience. In addition, the philosophy behind the controls are very player friendly and intuitive. Watch the full video below.
The game doesn’t seem as polished as a Madden release in terms of overall graphics, but what I’m really excited to test out here (and have been since I started Ripten back in 2007) is the engine behind this game. The notion of breaking away from canned animations in a sports game like this is enough to convince me to give it a shot. How about yourself?
