Molyneuxs Take On Move; Sony Concerned About Shovelware

New Backbreaker Gameplay Videos
Coming out of the Game Developer’s Conference is the first directly captured gameplay footage of Backbreaker by independent outlets. Both IGN and Gametrailers have released videos while IGN also includes updated hands-on impressions. The event provided the first opportunity for media types to try out the game’s splitscreen multiplayer.
That doesn’t mean that there weren’t still issues present. I’m still not a huge fan of how Backbreaker handles running the ball outside and switching players on defense. Both are problems because of the camera angle that’s used. When running the camera is still too close to be able to see defenders curling around the offensive line. On defense, the camera angle makes it jarring to switch from a blitzing linebacker to a safety in man-to-man coverage. There’s no frame of reference for what the player you’re switching to might be doing and it can be frustrating when the opposing team’s offense breaks big plays because you can’t effectively switch.
