NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

To some folks it's a lot more fun to just complain and whine then ever look for anything positive. After seeing all of these complaints, I honestly wouldn't be bothered if 2k just stopped the insights all together. This is seriously annoying.

lol. they're not gonna stop. contrary to popular belief, 2K isn't doing us a favor with this info. they're trying to sell a product.

If this is the 3rd Insight, where are the first 2 insights!?

So now (according to Ronnie's twitter) the trailer has gone from needing to be with the insight, to close in response to coolcras today, to whenever it's released. still smh

Those were my facial expressions for the parts in bold.

In the first pic, is that an armband on Bosh's elbow or it just look that way? If it's on the elbow, isn't that a new addition?

Looks like a straight up elbow band and that must be new. They added many accessories judging by the vids and pics thusfar...props to 2K for that.

I would expect that they would elaborate on some of these things in the art insight, but hey....

how will this game look on the ps3? can they specify what system these screenshots r for?

From a guy who owns a ps3, xbox 360, and custom pc, I personally would never buy 2k12 or any other 2k game on ps3, I buying 2k12 on pc and xbox!

[mlp111]

This is definitely not an easy thing to do. Gotta give props 2K for this job alone

I'm sure 2K12 will look great on the 360, but I do not know if it'll look the same on the PS3 or the PC.

For ps3, wont be up to par with xbox, but PC, what 2k don't do, modders will, so pc version will be the best!!!

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

Being a 2K PC player, I can't say I'm impressed watching these screenshots. To be honest, they look worse than last year's (I know, it's taken from consoles without mods) but where are the facial expressions?

And I too gotta say this insight is pretty weak. Show us comparisons from last year instead of releasing a bunch of random screens with half the players looking stoned or like zombies.

On the positive side, looks like they finally got Bynum face right.

As ever, increased realism is also on the agenda too, and this year you can interact with the entire first row of the crowd. It sounds strange, but it means you can make the extra effort to keep a ball from going out of bounds, jumping over the score table or diving into the cheerleaders. A neat touch

Also from this quote, it sounds like they put back the cheerleaders under the basket yet every screenshot released doesn't feature them. Screenshots from an old build? Maybe that's why the players look so lifeless.

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

I guess I totally misunderstood what the art insight meant. I thought they would elaborate and show examples of last years models compared to this year with pictures to show the difference of accesories,player faces,tattoos,court floors,lighting,jerseys etc. im a little bummed because this was the insight o looked most forward to. It was delayed which easnt a big deal because I figured it would be a boat load of info and detaols but this I could see ign writing not an actual developer. Oh well Oct 4 I will get to see.smh

Great Post! That would have been a better way of showcasing their improvement from last year. Kobe looks much better this year though.....

He won't be Metta World Peace, until Sept. 16th at the earliest because Ron Artest still has outstanding traffic warrants.
