NHL Developer Insights: NHL 2K10 Graphical Improvements
 

2K Sports just posted another NHL Developer Insights. This one focusing on the fraphical improvements for NHL 2K10.

To add to what Steve_OS said I have put up the whole insight in my blog plus added the screen shots from it in my Arena section for you all to go check out.

When do you think we will get videos!!!! These insights are good and this one especially that all the arenas are amazing, The player models are better still not great but good, and the refs are just fine.. But until I see this in motion what good are these insights. Everytime we got a blog or almost every time from Littman there was a video showcasing what the topic was... It was a great touch... But why aren't we getting videos showcasing the game and what it can do.... We are hearing that they are proud of 2k10 and how far they have come but at the end of the day, If it doesn't play so well what good is the graphics and presentation???

Good blog but what new information is there about the graphics that hasn't been already said? Nice to hear that playoff beards look a lot more real this time around. And yes, I second the suggestion for gameplay footage but I don't want to sound obnoxious.

And...as much as I think 2K hockey's arenas are the best in the business, something just hit me...the best HSBC Arena in any video game is actually *GASP* inaccurate!



The red walls that divide the 100 from the 200 level and "table seats" on the ends (not quite sure what to call them) are actually at a different height on the ends than on the sides. I'm willing to forgive them, though, because (1) it's a generic-named arena (can't get rights for the HSBC name) and (2) NHL 10 isn't doing any better.

Looking forward to the next Insight, hope some video's attached.

J/K Scott I like gettin you rowled up.. Player models do look good... Arenas look good. And to the person above saying Buffalos arena isn't correct, That may be but it's still better then a generic arena!!! Right ;)

As for specific details, from the correct glass type, to the top board colors and even tunnels, all were completely remodeled, textured and lit. Another notable change is player entrances, which are now unique to each arena.



Get the **** out of here! WOW!
