NBA 2K13 Developer Insight Videos Debut Soon

Re: NBA 2K13 Developer Insight Videos Debut Soon

Based on 2k's marketing strategy thus far, I'm expecting the first insight to include only an announcement about what to expect in the next insight. :O

Actually, something makes me think that's what the first insight was last year.

[piccolomair]

It might mean more to us gamers if it really amps up the presentation value while playing the game. If you ignore the music but focus on everything else Jay Z will be working on, this could be very very good

wouldnt the developer insight, in video mode, actually help create praise for Jay-z's involvement. Think about it, every video will contain some sort of soundtrack, that will be Jay-z stuff, every video will show off parts of the games presentation, that is another one of Jay-z's stuff.....in essence...an anouncement saying that Jay-z is 'helping' 2k with music in presentation is great....but only once we see the application.

To me, its EA who loves to get Big Names in on their projects for nothing more than the name....so getting excited over a name isnt anything special, getting excited when seeing bits and pieces of the game that shows off what that NAME put into the game....now thats amazing....

Ronnie2k has already said it's not going to be that much footage. IN THE FIRST INSIGHT don't want to forget that. After that we should see a lot more, hopefully we can use some of these videos as references or tutorials etc. This was a big announcement imo Jay-z was bigger tho.

I really wish 2k could have released videos about the gameplay 2 months ago. All they did was release 1 2 minute video showing gameplay and the video was blurry. The game is coming out in 2 months and they haven't even released 1 video explaining much about the gameplay yet. Ea released a 2 hour video about Madden's gameplay 4 months before released. Nba 2k13 is coming out in 2 months and they did'nt even make a video explaining much about the gameplay yet.

Uhh, I hate when Madden is mentioned in a 2k forum and vice versa (I'm guilty of it to) but Madden released a 'alpha' state '4 months prior' (pretty sure that kickoff gameplay was the only piece relevant) and then gave us the meat and potatoes on June 4th.

2k released a video a little over two months ago (was it at E3) -- which would technically be 5 months prior to advance and now they will get to the meat and potatoes 2 months early.

Not sure if I read your post right or not -- forgive me if I'm totally wrong on your thought process.

showing us what they did at E3 was generous...they never show anything at that stage in dev cycle ,not to mention that even to this point in the cycle ....keep in mind that we still have7 weeks to go before launch day..
we are right on schedule to get a taste of nba 2k as gamescom and insights r in the month of august so sit back a little and watch the fireworks anytime now

I know, but I still wish they could have released gameplay videos a little earlier.

I like what Mike Wang did with Live 10 shooting footage from what seemed like his bedroom .

I think 2K should realize that most (or some) of us don't need full blown productions but just good insight on the things that frustrated us and the devs with 2K12 and how they've changed in 2K13.

Don't go EA with sizzle trailers and fireworks and then when 10/2 comes we're all enraged because you didn't deliver what you promised.

Like others have said, we usually have jack squat at this point. So the amount of info and everything else we have now, is really special. 2k is a really quiet company to begin with, and we have learned how they operate throughout the years. I understand your point of the E3 gameplay video, but it's so much better than nothing. Gameplay videos usually come out around September and late august.

I know, but I still wish they could have released gameplay videos a little earlier.

Basically they can't really show anything, until they are sure it's marketable. For example (not dissing) but live 13 was shown way to soon, and they've been back pedaling ever since, it really messed them up, with all of the negative feedback from this large websites. 2k is probably fixing bugs and everything else, so they can show it to the masses soon.

September is usually the month they advertise everything and we get all of the gameplay stuff. Don't forget that these devs don't have the same development time or cycle as the rest of these genres. So they are most likely still working on the game and finishing up around this time.

I know what you mean, but I really wan't to see more gameplay videos and videos of the other gamemodes because I can tell that they are probably going to be improved alot this year. What I meant in the comment I wrote was that 2k should show the videos a little earlier than they do because then we could get an idea of what was improved in the game earlier. But you are right about what you wrote, though.

Would you rather see early build/Alpha gameplay at E3? Or would you rather wait for a better video of gameplay later in the dev. cycle?
