Yes body language is key but my point was while that is true the limitations of wearing a helmet that hides the face you really need to go that extra step and be on point with your animations to not take you out of the immersion that reminds you your playing a game. Madden unfortunately has never been able to do that for me personally. The animations have never been smooth particularly in the transitional category.

I can't see how you can watch this video and not love what you see. No matter what side you're on this is a win-win for gamers.

THANK YOU 2K!!!!!!!!

I doubt it. MS has influence, but they don't have THAT power. In what way can they strong arm a third party?

With multiple consoles on the market, no way can these hardware makers can afford to convince someone to not develop for their hardware.

Dreamcast, PSP, PS Vita, Wii... Little to no third party support and dead. (Yes, the Wii sold a lot of units, but it was a failure - no third party support at all).

This says a lot coming from Shakedown, he was big Microsoft supporter, but I think he's getting a PS4 this go around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojbri...RkU9lc6IBNjbMg

The developers are not going to spend more time on one console version than the other so, what he saying is BS. It didn't happen last gen and it wont happen now. Now if we see more third party games having to be scaled back on the xbox one, then there might be some truth to this. Every game wont run 1080 at 60fps on the PS4 either. xbox one exclusive Ryse runs at 900p at 30fps and it looks just as good as this NBA2K14 PS4 footage.

OT: All I was hearing about Ryse wasn't sounding good after what I saw at E3. That video was REAL nice. Might have to get that one.

I saw (and played) Ryse in person and that was easily the best looking game. Looked better than Fifa, Forza, BF4. It looked silky smooth and the details were great. The Xbox One still displays things in 1080p but they just have to upscale it. Not sure how much that effects quality technically but the games still look great.

I really only check out IGN for gaming news and they changed their tune on Ryse after playing it. That E3 demo was wack and I thought for sure the game would be wack but it is actually pretty fun. It's got a Batman style of combat with the attack/counter system.

Game's looking phenomenal, but I see morphing's still in the game. I'm really hoping that it won't be as big of a gameplay pest as it was for CG. It was hell not getting blocks & steals that you should have.

I have to admit, the game looks phenomenal. Wow. I was planning on only picking up Live 14 this year since I was a big fan of Live 10, but I will definitely grab 2K14 on next-gen as well. I'm sure both games are going to be great!
