NaturalMotion Games, the folks who brought you the enjoyable but slightly borked Backbreaker, are now working on Icebreaker, according to a BBC video profile.
If you watch the video profile (right here), you can see developers motion-capping hockey players, as well as the Icebreaker logo, projected very clearly on a developer’s work station.
Unfortunately, no official word has been passed on as to whether or not the game is real…but c’mon!
I’m all for realism in sports titles, and that’s why Backbreaker was pretty darn compelling. But, as a northerner, my love for hockey runs deep…and my $$ will follow.

Director David O. Russell has had a very on-and-off relationship with the film adaptation of Naughty Dog's Uncharted series -- in that he was once on the film, and then he was off of it. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Russell has signed back on to the film as director, temporarily sidelining his other upcoming project, a film remake of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Dude's got taste when it comes to his choice of projects, we'll give him that. The report doesn't mention whether or not Russell's rejoining of the crew means the film will make its initial 2011 release window. Nor does it mention whether our heart's wish will come true, and get Charlie Sheen to star as the series' ill-tucked protagonist, Nathan Drake. Think about it! He's perfect.
