Backbreaker

OXFORD – August 17, 2010 – 505 Games USA and NaturalMotion Games have released a new Backbreaker trailer detailing the new replay system for their revolutionary, euphoria-powered football game.

Rounding out the massive Greathouse update released this month, the trailer gives a detailed look at the replay system’s many features, chief of which include a total of seven fully functioning cameras, allowing players to catch all the bone-crushing action from any angle. The replay suite includes a free flight camera mode, a cinematic “ball-lock” option that fixes the camera on the ball at all times, and a “ball-cam” feature, which zooms into and follows the ball downfield to capture all the drama of your big plays.
