Is this a joke?... man oh man, they are going to ruin the legacy of this game. Updated graphics just doesnt cut it for me. This looks like a poor attempt to milk a franchise.
This looks absolutely true to the original with updated graphics and authentic home courts. This game is going to be awesome on Wii...and downright outstanding once it gets to PSN/XBL.
Some of you are taking this way more seriously than you should. It's NBA Jam, it was never meant to be serious at all, it's not real basketball.
Ruin it's legacy? Worse looking than the original arcade version? You guys are probably trolling but I'll bite.
Is there anything in that trailer that looks worse than this?:
Trolling.. pfft. Ive been playing games going back to when Pong was it's own console and you had to use a butterknife to hook up the RF switch and play on Ch. 3.
Not only is there mario running, some of the stuff is so stiff looking..(and I animate). Also the cpu is just standing in place around the 3pt line after the person goes up for an insane dunk. Where's the attempt to hard foul or block by the cpu? It doesn't look smooth as this old clip of Jam, and this is on better hardware, then the old Genesis/Snes days.
Here's some Ambersol so you dont get a toothache.....bite away.
That would be a nice touch, but I think from the trailer it won't happen. They'd have to re-license it, unless Midway owns the license.
Still, would love to have that theme in there. The sound effects are certainly different. Guess we won't have that high-pitched beep! when blocking a shot.
i think they only modeled the bodies and not the heads...which works IMO...i just wish they added the camera flashes in the background...i wonder if they added more players to choose from instead of 4
