I really hope the snappiness of the movement was worked on really well...no more feeling like im pushing against the wind in the name of weight so to speak.

lol next gen and they still can't get the #'s on the heat jersey in the right area. The front number isn't on the chest it should be to the left under the T in HEAT. Hopefully accessories won't be a problem.

They better look close. Otherwise it would look extremely weird if our players stood out even more than they do currently.

His shoes look amazing. But everything else isn't that great. Especially the face stuff. Needs another year in the oven, I think.

I'm just saying that assuming some groundbreaking new feature just because the name is flashy, only get hopes up unrealistically high.

Thank you.

Those things sound cool but we haven't gotten a detailed explanation to as what they do. Liquid Ai sounds awesome, but what is it.. M

Pretty sure he's talking EA cause Ignite Engine is EA's next gen engine. But 2K has said not much about gameplay so far compared to EA. but I'll worry about those two games when the time is getting closer.

If those graphics don't look good enough for him, I can't even imagine what his expectations are. That looks almost photo realistic. How can you not be impressed?

# 374 marathonLRM @ 06/17/13 05:52 PM

This is going to be the most realistic sports game ever, animation wise, i'm going to pick it up for the next gen, sadly on the PS4, fan of Xbox, even though I believe the Xbox One is a better console than PS4, those restrictions and the mandatory 24 hour check in is just going to stop people from buying it. Including me, at day 1 at least.

Photo realistic? Ehh... Good? Yes.

I gotta see real gameplay though. Like not just setup footage and a note saying that its an Alpha build, like legitimate footage of the game, like someone playing the game.

Ray allen and Kobe defiantly looks photo realistic. And Lebron too. If you look at 2k13 it looks like a cartoon. It stole E3 for me, like I said earlier 2k facial expressions besides the one at the end were pretty damn good, even games to be considered graphical beasts this gen, don't have facial expressions down like that, the skin tone, the bodies proportions, players don't look like tanks, jerseys fitting the body, even the ball and fingers took a next gen jump lol. I don't have a problem if their not excited, my issue is the people that make it seem like nothing and ignore all the work the art team put in.

There are plenty of current gen games that have expressions better and less jarring than that in the 2k14 footage. They just need some tweaking to take out the weird expression transitions as we're approaching the uncanny valley.

Kobe and Allen, however, look like some of the best renderings of humans in a video game I've seen. The shine on their heads is quite convincing. Lebron looks solid but the finish on his skin doesn't look quite on par and he looks a little "flat". The hand animations are fantastic, however.

It's a small thing but they should add more shine to his (and other players') nose to really sell the illusion of solidity and skin/oil/sweat in achieving photo realism.

I'm not trying to argue, but there aren't a lot of current gen games that have facial expressions down, and if you watch the video again, you can see the small subtle muscles in Lebron face when he speaks, you can tell that video game James is coming off as cocky if you turn the volume all the way down.

Yes there are current gen games that did a good job replicating expressions but only one game had them down perfectly and that's la noire imo. And it took that studio how many years to make that game? And the 2k art team has only been working on 2k14 for what a year or two? The graphics are pretty spot on and the fact that it's pre-alpha and looks like a finish product is impressive. Some people on here aren't impressed that's cool, all I know is the graphics are amazing to me. Then again this is my opinion.

I wouldn't say it looks photo realistic (or maybe it depends how you define it), but it doesn't mean graphics aren't great.

I used to think that the goal is to have the technology to create real life graphics - 1:1 as seen on TV/in reality.

But if it ever gets there - then what? Will games look the same every year? My guess is that if it gets to this point, developers will actually take a "step back" and create more artistic/stylized graphics.

I want the game look real, but I personally don't want it to look 100% real, anymore. I'd like it to play 100% real (with options to tweak it), but maybe looking 100% real isn't what I need. However, games still have some way to go, so I would like them to take this path, but just never actually get there.

That's just my opinion.

Anyway, I'm curious to see the facial expression system they implemented. Because I think previous games were getting close, but it never worked consistently. I'd like the new technology to also keep it consistent.

# 380 jersez @ 06/17/13 10:53 PM

All in all, the art team put in work, they've listened to the forums fixing the jerseys,players aren't as muscular as they are in previous 2k's, skin tones are spot on, cyberfces from what was shown are really good, the graphics took a step up. It's not perfect and I'm sure they're working on it now, but I'm glad that progress is made and so far you guys have done a great job in my opinion.
