Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I have the 360 version

All i have to say is if this demo represents the finish product graphicly, then it stinks. If I remember, the 2k8 demo had the gameplay cut down but the graphic where about the same as the retail version. So if that trend is continued then 2k took 3 step backwards in the graphics department IMO.

Things I noticed Graphically right away:
1. The game runs on 720p (which should at least 1080!) while players seem to be running on a lowere 480i res.

2. The player filtering is so severe to the point where when the game zooms in on cut scenes, its almost like there are different player models on the floor(It also doesn't help that the cut scenes aren't at their best frames per second).

3. Courts are just ugly when it comes to pictures and fonts on the floor. What makes it stand out is fact that the lighting and wood tectures are great which makes things like the Celtic logo look like a blurry bitmap add-on


Things like player faces, gameplay and animations are nothing short of amazing, but I already knew that they were second to none in that department. I was just hoping that tectures and graphics will be up to par.

Hopefully this is just a demo and not the finished product.
