Re: Spike Lee writes, directs story for 'NBA 2K16' video game

Frequency Vibrations stopped me dead in my tracks. Now on to the rest of the article...

Alright, I've struggled with 2K's story mode over the years due to its severe fantastical elements. But one of my biggest criticisms has been the corny and awful dialogue and voice acting. As such, when hearing things like this below, it is encouraging:

Quote:
The "Malcom X" and "She Hate Me" filmmaker focused on drawing out realistic performances from actors, whose voices and movements were all digitally recorded. Lee, whose teenage son Jackson is an avid gamer, said he actually felt liberated working on a motion-capture stage for the first time in his career.
And as for those wondering how far a Spike Lee joint is going to go:

Quote:
"We make an E-rated game," said Thomas. "It's an NBA licensed project and obviously the NBA cares a lot about their brand and makes sure we stick within those boundaries. Spike understood that from the get-go, but he didn't take his foot off the gas because of that. He still brought the drama."
I guess I'm curious, didn't previous story modes have players use their MyPlayer? It sounds as though this year will have a specific player people control, no? Or might folks be able to switch their own player in their place?
