NBA 2K14 - Next Gen Reveal Trailer

[MEANFIDDLER]

This is the best sports video game of all time! Nothing even comes in at a close second! Imagine if 2k was able to make an nfl football game! I think 2k sports is the best at giving the people what they really want from a sports simulation! All other sports game developers should take notes and learn from this or just simply retire!

I'm not impressed by graphics alone. That's the typical gamer move. I'll be impressed when I rent (that's right rent) my copy and assess how the game plays. Only after this will I consider giving 2k my $65, or however much the damn thing will cost. My 2k13 has been collecting dust since Nov of last year. I tried to trade it in to gamestop and they offered me a lousy $8. Listen here 2k, get the gameplay right. When I'm playing your so-called basketball sim it shouldn't feel like hockey. I don't care about the celebrations, and players ability to fall into the crowd etc. I want to feel like I'm in control of my players and team, and I don't feel that with 2k13. I need quick controler response, and crisp movements. And remove the stupid momentum crap for crying out loud. That is all.

Game looked great. I'm excited for sure, but I caution people:

I've seen a lot of "2K14 + PS4" posts in this thread, yet people need to understand that many cross-plat games were graphically inferior on PS3, including 2k11-13. And a lot of times things like custom soundtracks wouldn't work as well. All I'm saying is be careful and thoughtful about which console you choose as a sports gamer. Lot's of sports games had issues on PS3. This is coming from a PS3-only guy (I could only afford one system or the other) who felt that having the Show was a fair trade off.

Well it seems that 2K's priority is with PS4 considering they unveiled it during Sony's E3 press conference and not Microsofts.

Dam you 2K.. You sweet glorious bastards! I was debating on skipping 2K altogether this year, until I saw this.

I woke up this morning and instantly preordered a Playstation 4 and this game.

You want my money? Just take it! That was a thing of pure and utter beauty

eh....devs had issues building something with PS3's cell and seeing as how both next gen systems are pretty much the same mini PC builds I don't see anything different from the two, other than the exclusive titles....

It's a f*cking trailer showing a single slow motion dunk. Looks great, but we don't know anything about the game yet. Oh, and Lebron says "buy it". So I have to. Come on 2k, take my money right now!

Seriously, 2k really has to do nothing at all to get people to spend money on their products. Maybe the game is going to be great, maybe it will be a huge disappointment. No way to tell right now. But 2k has done a great job of getting people to be emotionally attached to the brand. For many kids, it "feels right", so they have to buy it. Marketing wise, 2k is as good as it gets. They've done an impressive job getting kids to buy everything.

I mean let's say I wanna spend 60 bucks on a bball game in October. There are 2 competing products available. It's rational to compare both to find out which one I should spend my money on. But many people have their minds already made up based on brands ("Nothing can make be buy Live/2k... wow, Live/2k looks soooo great. Take my money right now...).
That's why video game companies can allow half-a**ing their products, people will spend money anyway, resulting in mediocre games or no game at all (Live was living on reputation alone for years leading to the recent disasters).
