505 Games has revealed itself as the publisher of NaturalMotion’s alternative-to-Maddenfootball title,Backbreaker, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The title was originally revealed as an Atari-published product a bazillion years ago, with an iPhone version of the game released this past September.
The game is said to “redefine the football videogame genre” by employing NaturalMotion’s “euphoria motion synthesis engine” for the game’s movement and violent in-game tackles.Backbreakeralso features full, physics-based motion AI, for what should (presumably) translate to a more realistic-looking and -feeling football experience.
Backbreakerwill be available in stores sometime in Spring 2010. Check out Samit “Sports Guy Who Likes Sports” Sarkar’spreview of the titlefrom back in June.
