Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

If custom audio is left out of the PS3 version your getting a big FU from a longtime 2K supporter who has purchased every 2K game from the original 2K bball game on dreamcast. I haven't posted here for a very long time but when I read "on the 360" I felt kind of angry and had to voice my frustration. Hopefully they are aware of the negative pub this is creating .

It's hilarious that as far as everyone knew it wasn't in the game at all until yesterday but now people want to talk about not buying the game because of it.

I honestly don't think it's possible. From my discussion with developers at EA, stuff that tie into a game system's OS are much larger a task than we think.

I'm pretty sure you won't see this in an update.

PS3 multi-platform game owners seem to continually get the shaft. I know for a fact this sort of thing is possible, but it must be very difficult to implement.

Knowing the developers of these games, if they could have, they would have.

this bites.
i mean Tiger gets the shaft on ps3 even though they can fit WAY more data, i.e. courses, on the disc, but the devs said they cant make a lesser game on the 360,that they like to keep them even , then theres this junk..

I wouldnt be as mad if the whole in game soundtrack wasnt rap.:wink:

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

I think you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. To not buy the game just because it doesn't support custom audio? I think that's absurd.

I understand if you were deciding whether to buy it for the 360 or the PS3, and that fact let you decide to get it for the 360, that makes sense.

But to say that ruins the total experience for you? That doesn't make sense to me.

The soundtrack isn't even close to being all rap.

They have a right to feel that way. It's their money.

Publishers shouldn't be doing things on one platform if they can't do it on the other, especially when they CAN do it. Defeats the purpose of a multi-platform game. And I'm referring to PS3/X360 here.

I think they should make it a mandate to make things equal. The consumers of one console shouldn't get "screwed." EA has done this with online play as well.

They should both be held accountable.

I understand the merit is there to include it at all... but it just shows that these companies don't take both platforms as seriously. And that's discomforting as a consumer.

Part of the reason why I have both consoles and play them equally. Saves me this sort of headache. But I know not everyone can do that.

lol, exactly, Im a 360 owner and personally if it was on the other foot, I could care less if they took it out of the 360, it's not that big of deal to me personally. Custom music is not a make or break issue.

Thas BS. There is no way on earth you have to reduce the amount of courses in a golf game because of disc space. The devs are fos. Even if it was true which it isnt you could just use more than one disc. I tested a Tiger Woods game on the Xbox and I was the size of the main executable file and it was less than 6 gigs. Area size does not take up much disc space. If that was true games like Just Cause and Oblivion would have been put on two disc. The only 360 games that are on multiple disc that I know of are JRPGs with high def media.

What he is saying is they don't utilize the extra space on Blu-ray for PS3 because they have to accommodate the 360's DVD media size. And he's right. Not that they removed anything.

Let's not get off-topic.

Ok that makes more sense even though to me it sounds like a cop out. If they had a nice random course generator then it would make sense but I doubt they would spend the time hand drawing 20GBs of golf courses.

Back on topic. The big question is are these custom soundtracks editable and can they be shared? Now if we could share custom soundtracks that would be Nirvana. In hours every team would sound different. I dont think its legal. Is it legal for Opsports to run a torrent?

it's not only about the soundtrack dude!in my case it's the sensation that 2k doesn't give a **** about us!last year game was broke in many aspects: no midrange jumpshots, different sliders didn't affect the game at all...)and poor roster updates (i prefer no to talk about 2k insider). Moreover, if you are from europe as i am and you can't enjoy things like nba ticker, draft combine or collector's edition you have the sensation that u r being discriminated. So if 2k doesn't give a **** about me, i won't give a **** about 2k.

Re: NBA Developer Insights: NBA 2K10 Audio

Maybe, just maybe, there is a real reason why this is happening. Did anybody PM Simballer about this? Even last gen, Xbox has custom soundtracks (I know the PS2 didn't have a HDD), but after the PS2 HDD came out you only got replays, not a custom soundtrack. Maybe that's something between 2k and MS, I really don't know.

To all my PS3 users - let's all write letters of disgust to 2k.

Who's co-signing this?
