Re: NBA 2K15 Introduces Stay in Your Face Technology, Scan Your Face, Bring it into G

I'm torn myself, I want to get it for ps4 and be done with it, but part me is saying "build a new PC, play with mods, etc "

I think that every year but I cant stomach the cost of a new pc for only one game. I dont play other PC games.

Not for a game. Luckily I use my pc a lot besides games like Internet work ms office and a bunch of other things so the powerful rig comes in handy. I def. Don't regret it.

Is this for myPlayer only or can we do this when creating rookies or our myGM? I hope its not a myPlayer only feature.

I just have 3 points.....

1. Holy Santa Claus ******( you fill in the blanks) lol

2. FINALLY my Kinect camera has a use for me!

3. I just hope us dark skinned brothers don't get shafted by this option like we did with last Gen technology.

I'm pretty sure it works on dark skinned brothers given the makeup of the league. Would be a little messed up if it didn't.

I'm wondering how many faces will have either a butt/junk placed to it. Will they be monitoring them and deleting inappropriate ones?

They probably have automated junk detection technology.

I'm being totally serious. It wouldn't be too hard for 2k servers to peeform image recognition and check if the upload is actually a face and reject it if it isn't.

It was expected and this is a good thing. However if my player mode is as bad as it was last year this is kind of a waste of a really good addition for me. The fact that this is something that's been around for a while now does lessen the "OMG" moment though.

Another game has the ability to scan your face through your console camera?

Regarding the new tech...meh.

It looks like it can only be used for my Player and actual people. I'm more interested in using this tech to create lifelike CAPs of players that EA doesnt have in the game (new rookies/FA) or Legends and I dont know how that would work.

At least with EA Gameface (which admittedly is average tech that needs tweaks to get a decent face) you are using a photo so it can be used for other CAPs. 2k's tech is cool and if I was getting it for the One, I would use it but I'm getting it for the PS4 and i'm not buying a PS camera for one feature.

See I prefer Macs for everything else. I have an Imac and a Macbook. Both have Parallels which lets me access PC applications but they arent powerful enough to play NBA 2k. So I dont need the pc for other things like work or internet.

Really cool addition. Unfortunately, the XBox360 is still my current system, and I play it on a standard television. I would like to upgrade to a PS4 but there now seems to be so much cost that will come with such an upgrade (actual PS4, HDTV, 2K itself, and now a PS camera). I don't know if I'll be able to take advantage of this feature.

However if my player mode is as bad as it was last year this is kind of a waste of a really good addition for me.

I was thinking about the MyPlayer mode too. On one hand, the idea of having my own face in the game would do a ton for immersion, but if MyPlayer and its storyline is similar to last year, it seems there'd be a lot of counterforce that could zap that immersion right back out. Time shall tell.

Pretty freakin' sweet. Hope the implementation works well.

Lmao

2k would have to sell us mocap suits.

That would be sick lol

Jump shot scan.. You better patent it quick!

You know, it's actually possible to motion capture using the Kinect camera. Not as accurate as a professional rig but it's practically what it does. And there's been some usable software utilizing it.

Yeah I don't have a mac. . Good point

Having internal dialogue that's not my own forced on me and seeing my actual self talking in someone else's voice is going to be really, really weird.

What I really want is for the announcer to say my name again, instead of some nick name. That would be serious fantasy fulfillment along with the face technology. I felt really, really lucky to be one of the ones who had their name announced in game-- especially when it wasn't a common one.

Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

Jeff Thomas said that the other 2k games creators were excited about this. I'm going to bet that this face tech will be available for WWE2k15...

Maybe next year. First year implementation of things like this tend to need to work out growing pains.

V, you need to upgrade to an HDTV before anything else man lol. It's time, you're missing out man. Once you watch tv in HD or game in HD, you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

I'm being totally serious. It wouldn't be too hard for 2k servers to peeform image recognition and check if the upload is actually a face and reject it if it isn't.

The implication is that some people will scan their very real face, and have it rejected because the game doesn't think it's a face.

Sort of like that face-following camera that it turned out couldn't detect black people.

(I'm not joking, that really happened.)
