NBA 2K14 Next Gen Trailer

[dat swag]

I'll be more impressed when I see the game in action. Trailers are just that...Trailers...often they do not represent the finished product an many levels. It looks great but when the game drops what will it look and more importantly play like.

If 2K still has legacy issues such as questionable online play, rebounding issues and 3 point shot cheese then a minor graphical leap will not be enough for me. Again...I love what it looks like but for me its not a huge leap graphically...Its about what I expected.

Gotta love when people say don't get hyped on graphics when we've never had any like this before. If Current i pretty good minus some issues then i'm sure next gen will be as good or better.

and its not real gameplay footage. its cinematics like you said.

If using the term cinematics instead of CGI is a better way of putting it, then I am fine with that.

But they are the same thing, its semantics

Ok now 2k I know the graphics is insane but I need to know whats going on under the hood.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

CGI refers to pre-rendered scenes that don't use the interactive real-time engine, and thus can't give you any idea of what the game will look like.

The trailer features replays, which use art assets the normal game uses and animations that are actually played during gameplay. Real gameplay might not be completely smooth in terms of say, running transitioning to a dunk, but what you're seeing is gameplay. Merely edited gameplay from fancy angles.

Not pre-rendered clips. Not cut-scenes that have nothing to do with action on court.

if you want an idea of what the real gameplay is going to look like go check out the NBA 2k14 PC version on max settings That is most likely what the real gameplay footage is giong to look like

Lol. Whut? A next-gen game with amazing next-gen art assets, animations, and lighting will magically turn into PC current gen with current gen lighting, old art, and old animations once you press a button on the controller.

Oookayy, Kyrie.

Cutscenes use the game engine.
Cinematics are pre rendered.

What you see in that trailer is certainly not cinematics lol. It's not 1999 anymore.

2k is just like Lebron James, just when we said they can't any better, they shut us up and shown how much better they gotten

Youre right though. I put cutscene somewhere in there at first. Its the wrong term. Cinematic like someone said is the proper term. Cutscenes will still have the same graphics as gameplay but you just are not in control. For example, in Metal Gear that hes talking about, when a badguy sees you and the camera pans over to him and shows his reaction with the "!" over his head, thats a cutscene. When they show you the 15 minute video, thats the cinematic. (I know you get it, thats for him lol)
