NBA 2K13 Developer Insight Videos Debut Soon

[bigeastbumrush]

I like what Mike Wang did with Live 10 shooting footage from what seemed like his bedroom .

I think 2K should realize that most (or some) of us don't need full blown productions but just good insight on the things that frustrated us and the devs with 2K12 and how they've changed in 2K13.

Don't go EA with sizzle trailers and fireworks and then when 10/2 comes we're all enraged because you didn't deliver what you promised.

Nba 2k13 is coming out in 2 months and they did'nt even make a video explaining much about the gameplay yet.

Like others have said, we usually have jack squat at this point. So the amount of info and everything else we have now, is really special. 2k is a really quiet company to begin with, and we have learned how they operate throughout the years. I understand your point of the E3 gameplay video, but it's so much better than nothing. Gameplay videos usually come out around September and late august.

Basically they can't really show anything, until they are sure it's marketable. For example (not dissing) but live 13 was shown way to soon, and they've been back pedaling ever since, it really messed them up, with all of the negative feedback from this large websites. 2k is probably fixing bugs and everything else, so they can show it to the masses soon.

September is usually the month they advertise everything and we get all of the gameplay stuff. Don't forget that these devs don't have the same development time or cycle as the rest of these genres. So they are most likely still working on the game and finishing up around this time.

Not sure if I read your post right or not -- forgive me if I'm totally wrong on your thought process.

I know what you mean, but I really wan't to see more gameplay videos and videos of the other gamemodes because I can tell that they are probably going to be improved alot this year. What I meant in the comment I wrote was that 2k should show the videos a little earlier than they do because then we could get an idea of what was improved in the game earlier. But you are right about what you wrote, though.

Would you rather see early build/Alpha gameplay at E3? Or would you rather wait for a better video of gameplay later in the dev. cycle?
