Where did this picture come from?

Re: Where did this picture come from?

That was a Live 09 development sketch thing I believe.

But yeah, it's definitely Live... you can tell by those teardrop-looking sweat lines on his face... everyone had that.

Why would they put a Live 09 screen on the 2K10 page? WTF?!

Can you say touched-up?

Re: Where did this picture come from?

Yes that is from Live 09. I remember seeing that last year. Not sure why they would say its from a 2010 game let alone say its a 2K one.

I remember when it was claimed that was an in-game shot, yet we see how he ended up in the retail version. Something to think about as you look at the early shots.

BOOM, right to the jaw.

Re: Where did this picture come from?

I just searched the Live forum for evidence of that, because I remember it being mentioned as a target render kind of thing... didn't find anything from the developers one way or the other when searching for "kobe banner" and several other terms that should lead to discussion of that picture.

But yeah, both companies need to stop doing that kind of stuff. The pre-release Garnett video that looked 20x better than the actual game was more misleading to the final product than that Kobe picture is IMO... showing realistic footplanting, the hand grabbing the rim... none of which happened regularly or cleanly in the retail game. Not saying you guys said it was in-game or lied about it, but still it confuses people.

Much respect to SimBaller... just thought I'd say that, because it does really bother me when companies put out rendered shots/videos, even if they don't say that it's in-game, I just think it's intellectually dishonest and misleading. Saying specifically that it's "target render" or something far in advance of a game release (like the first Madden videos for 360) is one thing if that is clearly stated, but otherwise I think it's lame because it definitely tricks people who don't do their research fully.

Yeah, especially when you compare them to the shots you guys put out.

...now just wait a MINUTE...

What shots????

To go even further than that, the trailers momentusceltic made showed a cleaned up, no-jaggy edge version of the NBA 2K9 game that no one else got to play unless they had a super high powered PC. I don't recall seeing a disclaimer saying that any of the footage we were looking at was going to vary from the final product. As a veteran NBA 2K player, I actually thought that NBA 2K9 was going to look the way it did in mc's vids.

Mo captured his footage on a 360 version of the game, but that is neither here nor there.
