NBA 2K14 Release Date Set For October 1st, Looks To Be Headed to Next-Gen

[Gramps91]

I do plan on getting PS4 but I don't see it being out until in November so I would say that it will still be available for current gen. However, it may be next year for me before I get a PS4 so I'll likely get it for PS3

The next gen versions of the game would release when next gen consoles come out. Happened when the 360 first came out. Also happened with the Wii U.

I expect 2k to deliver games for both, current and next gen consoles ... in fact, not only did they did it from past gen to current, they also recently did it for WiiU (you may argue wether or not is next gen, but it is a different gen of Nintendo) and released 2k13 a couple of months later.

Current gen would be around the standards we have come used to, then again, the beautifullness of new gen consoles is their exponentialy increased processing and ram powers as well as the (alleged) easyness of development ...

These consoles strengths are like a double edge sword:

- on one hand it will increase the quality of games as we are bound to have no loadings whatsoever, no framerate drops, better under the hood tools to aid with simultaneously running (nowdays essential) programms such as AI behavior, physics, foot planting, particles, lightning ... will increase the amount of content to be had all at once on the screen ... and all that couple with improved graphics (but not as pronnounced as the jump we had from past gen to this current gen).

- on the other hand, it will seriously expose game developers that werent prepared to such a hardware upgrade, this strengths will expose any lazyness, lack of creativity, the lack of progression from itineration to itineration, the lack of content ... for better or worse, videogames that are said to be simulations of real life events and sports are going to be even more exposed ... so when you couple that with the high priced consoles investment and the still stumbling economy, the alleged shrinking videogame market (which I rather consider ever more conscious, aware and demanding) will just push failing companies out of business.

Here is to hope for 2k doing yet another sucessfull transition into next gen, for taking a more intimate approach with its community and for ultimately delivering us not only what we want, but (mostly) what we NEED ... holding my expectations on check, I am looking to see a 2k14 next gen game that at least shows me flashes of these.

I'm getting my PS4 asap. I can't bother with another current gen 2K, the engine has run its course.

There is no reason why it will not be on ps3 and xbox 360. There is the dilemma of having to wait to play certain games that will hopefully launch with the next gen consoles. Hopefully the next gen consoles come out in November liked rumored so the wait will not be too long.

It's not far-fetched at all. Is 2k really stupid enough to let live release by itself for next gen? I don't think so.
