See I prefer Macs for everything else. I have an Imac and a Macbook. Both have Parallels which lets me access PC applications but they arent powerful enough to play NBA 2k. So I dont need the pc for other things like work or internet.

Really cool addition. Unfortunately, the XBox360 is still my current system, and I play it on a standard television. I would like to upgrade to a PS4 but there now seems to be so much cost that will come with such an upgrade (actual PS4, HDTV, 2K itself, and now a PS camera). I don't know if I'll be able to take advantage of this feature.

I was thinking about the MyPlayer mode too. On one hand, the idea of having my own face in the game would do a ton for immersion, but if MyPlayer and its storyline is similar to last year, it seems there'd be a lot of counterforce that could zap that immersion right back out. Time shall tell.

Pretty freakin' sweet. Hope the implementation works well.

You know, it's actually possible to motion capture using the Kinect camera. Not as accurate as a professional rig but it's practically what it does. And there's been some usable software utilizing it.

Having internal dialogue that's not my own forced on me and seeing my actual self talking in someone else's voice is going to be really, really weird.

What I really want is for the announcer to say my name again, instead of some nick name. That would be serious fantasy fulfillment along with the face technology. I felt really, really lucky to be one of the ones who had their name announced in game-- especially when it wasn't a common one.

Maybe next year. First year implementation of things like this tend to need to work out growing pains.
