Re: NBA 2K14 Videos From Gamescom

I will not pay 60 euros for a game that i already have: nba 2k13

You will AND YOU KNOW IT

Seriously, I don't understand people saying it's the same game. All the Madden games look the same to me too, as I have no idea of football. It must be that..

11-13 have looked more less the same.
I don't understand really why this is a complaint that it looks the same. What do people expect? How different and how much better does people think it should look?

The game has evolved into these graphics and I think they look great and they look like basketball.

going to have to disagree with you, 2k11 look nothing like 2k12 and 2k13..... 2k11 was all around superior in every aspect, especially graphics.. looked light yrs better than 2k12 and 2k13

That's pretty minor. Has nothing to do with gameplay really.

yes it does...he gets back on defense a lot faster because he went right through the player instead of tripping or jumping over him. Players can drop to the ground often and you are fine running right through them?

That's because you PLAYED it.

I never said hardware makes the game look great, I said the hardware ALLOWS the software to look great..

You essentially just repeated what I said.

My point is that they can make things look even better on current gen. And they have.

2K11 was the most visually stunning of the series from a rendering/lighting/modelling perspective.

Current gen hardware isn't holding them back from all the things they can still improve on but likely wont (and I'm perfectly fine with this).

Ummm... that was a CPU controlled player.

-------------------------------------

@sundown, I like the presentation look of the starting lineups, to me that is nice, simple and unique... nothing over the top but yet not vanilla either.

What would you like to see instead?

Something like this?

Wow, that first one looks phenomenal.

Wish they made a game with presentation like that.

You'll know next-gen when you see it.

Everything at Gamescom is current gen.

I would really like someone from 2k explain to me why the pc version is a current-gen and not next-gen port. I thinkPC players could wait until November\December. Please 2k, do not neglect pc players. There is a lot of us, especially in Europe.

They already started by not patching 2k13 so I don't expect much hope for us in the future....

The pc has the most potential.. far beyond NG.

They did - 2K11 and I think 2k12 had the same thing.

There's no point in enhancing the graphics alot since this next gen is coming.
I played 2K13 yesterday and it looks good graphics-wise. What's the problem with having the same graphics (i'm sure some faces have been tweaked and such) and having improved gameplay?

Just because 13 and 14 might look alike, just like 12 and 13 look alike and people bought 13, the gaming experience will be different, and isn't that what matters?

Also, $60 isn't that much to shell out on time each year for something you can enjoy for more or less a whole year.

Those videos were frustrating to watch. Not a good advertisement for 2K.

eh all gamescoms vids have always been like this and it did not impact the sales for 2k (inb4 no competition durr). Besides rather than watch and criticize how people play why not just look for whats been added.

Thats how I've always viewed these vids...even though they are short, I came off pretty impressed with how there is more contact in the paint and how spacing got a lot better.

I think you're right about 2K finding little reason or point behind concentrating on significant current generation upgrades. But for most, again, I think the question goes well beyond, "What's the problem with having the same graphics but improved gameplay?"

When aesthetics feel largely untouched (actual drawn graphics, atmosphere, dead ball animations, presentation, assorted movements, "little things"), that tends to leave all of the improvement focus on the actual gameplay - and gameplay improvement is good. But now, the question for many will seem to be, "Is the gameplay improvement enough to warrant spending $60 on a brand new game?" Whereas in previous years, there tended to be a lot coming at gamers from various angles of the new 2K game itself: new gameplay improvements, significant NBA mode upgrades, new NBA-based modes introduced (Classics, MyPlayer, NBA-led USA Dream Team, Dunk Contest, etc.), heavy presentation alterations and yes, even improved graphics some years. In the case of the latter, there was a little more comfort in upgrading, because there seemed to be a litany of changes from many different angles.

Essentially, the wonder at this super early stage (a stage at which, by last year we already had two legitimate video developer insights on specific visual evidence of new gameplay, animations, and dribble mechanics), is whether the gaming experience is going to be different enough. After the freshness of the smooth dribbling system and paint contact wears off and becomes second nature, is every other portion of the game going to tell me I'm still playing 2K13?

Lastly, $60 is a fair chunk of change regardless of circumstance but again, I understand your logic and reasoning behind the worth gained from being able to use your product for an entire year. It's a fair point. However, I'd wonder how many folks ceased playing 2K13 six month deep or prior. For me, 2K13 had a shorter lifespan in my house than any other 2K over the past ten years. So again, the question becomes, if 2K13 lost me so soon - will 2K14 provide enough to make the game feel fresh from many angles? Will the on-court differences be enough? I do not have those answers yet, but the early return seems to raise at least a little bit of doubt, and I do not blame others for feeling the same thus far.
