MLB '10: The Show Blog: Real Time Presentation Mode

07:30 PM - February 10, 2010 by sandu8

The Playstation.Blog has posted another MLB '10: The Show blog. This one features real time presentation mode.

Quote:


	"In a continued effort to blur the lines between a video game and a televised broadcast, MLB 10: The Show is proud to introduce the brand new presentation mode: Real Time. Available with replays or without, Real Time is a new presentation mode designed to further enhance the realism our baseball simulation offers you, the baseball fan. Hoping to have you question whether you�re playing MLB 10: The Show or watching a live baseball game on TV, we�ve captured hundreds of new animations and have done extensive work with both our AI and our cameras. From the pitcher toeing the rubber until the next batter walks up to the dish, you�ll experience continuity with the seamless animations and positional intelligence of each player on and off the field. All new camera angles and cut-timing capture the player�s new movements and further enhance the presentation mode by mimicking the camera work seen on televised MLB broadcasts. Post-play has never looked this real."

It looks awesome!!!!! I have a feeling that the Demo will be Twins VS Tigers

If the reason is to show Target Field and Mauer, Yankees VS Twins will do it.

If this is the case, I might not even have to buy the game! Just kidding! I am sure it will be the Yanks and Phils, just like past year world series teams

If you have the cash to get a PS3, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

Issue is, there are only two games I want to play; The Show and Uncharted 2.

SCEA is making it very easy to justify an unwise investment

You will find that many of us on here only ever use our PS3's for The Show.

A one game system, the only reason i bought a PS3 too, and worth every single penny (or cent in your currency)

This may sound stupid but with the guy rounding all of the bases after a home run and seeing the whole trot in realtime not a cutscene, to me is awesome

Yeah, that is something that is going to show up with every player this year who hits a home run. The animation got repeated because the animation fit in with the real time presentation. It will be that way for this year.

Not stupid. Im definitely digging that as well.

You know, just to make capturing of the video easier. I doubt that big of a bug would get through the QA process...I hope.

So is the bug that the announcer says the side is retired when there isn't 3 outs recorded or was there really 3 outs recorded and the Twins still stayed on the field throwing the ball around the horn?

Get used to it actually.
They will add in new animations I'm sure for next year...but that's the one for this year.

Since I didn't see that once at the event(staying out on the field after the 3rd out)...I'm guessing it's either as Woodweaver surmised...just the way they set up the debug(and didn't realize they recorded the 3rd out)...or a small audio glitch that would happen occasionally(like saying something about 2 walks in the inning...when there was only one last year).

Absolutely loooooooove the implemation of rounding ALL bases this year!!

Why? Well, if "I" am hitting a homerun it makes me "take-in" the feeling of an awesome accomplishment - in previous years it seemed like after I hit a homerun the next batter was already in the box...

Next, if I am "giving up" the homerun it now "hurts" even more as I have to sulk in extra time waiting for the opposition to round the bases...

It's a Catch-22 and I absolutely love it - it's small, yet detailed!

	You definitely shouldn�t see duplicate players. See above for the demo answer, but not this weekend.

Anyone notice the chopper to the first baseman??? I had to replay that over and over. I thought that looked VERY realistic. In previous years ground balls always seemed for the most part on the ground.

# 119 x1Blumpkin1x @ 02/11/10 04:15 PM

Great video. I have been waiting for more info on RTP as that is one of the main additions to this year's game. Only a few weeks to go.

# 120 CarryTheWeight @ 02/11/10 04:39 PM

Wow. Great vid. This new system should blow both 08 and 09 out of the water presentation-wise. There's so much going on at once at any given moment, it feels like the game's atmosphere is alive and breathing. Because of that, this may be the closest emulation of the "ballpark atmosphere" in video gaming history. It took me many views to see everything being discussed in this thread...props to SCEA for all of their strict attention to detail. It, once again, is paying off.

I'm hoping to see a few more interesting overlays and graphics as well this year, as some of the more interesting graphics and ancedotes in exhibition the last two years didn't seem to carry over to Franchise. Whatever happens, I'm sure I'll be satisfied with what the game brings to the table.
