NBA 2K14 Video - Next-Gen Gameplay

[TheTruth437]

I'm not impressed with this NBA 2k14 video. Other than better graphical quality, the video looks awfully similar to current-gen NBA 2k14. I'm not seeing much improvement with the gameplay.

You know I think the live tweeting of the media event actually set up some false expectations and hurt our first impressions of actual 5v5 gameplay.

After seeing the incredible trailer, when some one tweets "foot planting is fixed", "completely new engine", and "the game looks lifelike", it really allows your imagination to run wild.

So we end up expecting live-photoreal-broadcast quality graphics and then see something that looks VERY good but obviously has cur-gen 2K's pedigree, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Anyway, there are many moments in the gamespot video where the game does look like a broadcast for a split second. I don't mean where it kind-of-sort-of does if you're not paying attention or just walked in the room like current gen 2K. Seeing Lebron bringing the ball up without choppy transition animations really does kind of remind you of actual video footage.

this my beef. why are people complaining the gameplay look like current gen 2K14? LMAO that's a good thing. Took them 8 years to get that gameplay and w the FIRST next-gen title ya'll expect it to have a huge gameplay leap? y'all should be happy that it's not WORSE than the current gen gameplay cuz thats what i was expecting. The graphics and everything w current gen gameplay is ****ign amazing.

game looks beyond good. and thats off a compressed video. nuttin myself at the thought of what itll look like on my tv at home. in 60 fps. cmon son. yall bitch niggaz

Dang you had some crazy unrealistic expectations for next gen. This is the FIRST iteration and it already looks this good. It's only going to get better, what DID you expect it to look like if this wasnt impressive?

These graphics are AMAZING. Everything looks different. I can definitely tell they re-did a lot of things. The animations are smoother and that LBJ jumper looked exquisite.

I can't complain.

Just imagine this on your TV.

I thoroughly enjoy current gen, and this looks even better.

The LBJ jumper definitely looked like it had an animation change (like they mentioned in the live tweeting) because a player was so close. He leaned back extra to get it off clean.

So you're saying that he's never seen 2k14 current gen? He's never played next gen either... But he's seen it.

That makes sense. IJS
