NBA 2K16 Digital Short - James Harden: Believe

[Steve_OS]

2K has just revealed the second NBA 2K16 digital short, titled James Harden: Believe. Showcasing some of the first looks at NBA 2K16 gameplay, the video chronicles James Harden’s journey to stardom, beginning from his humble roots in Compton and featuring his return to Artesia High School.

Narrated by Spike Lee, the montage of gameplay and true life footage showcases Harden’s journey from a beardless, standout player at Arizona State University to winning the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award on the Oklahoma City Thunder and becoming the face of the franchise for the Houston Rockets.

We snipped out all of the NBA 2K16 footage from the video here, if you want to take a look.

This video is the second in a three part series focusing on the life story of NBA 2K16’s cover athletes, complementing this year’s #BeTheStory MyCAREER narrative.

If you missed the first one, featuring Stephen Curry, click here.

NBA 2K16 will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on September 29. If you pre-order at participating North American retail and online vendors, you get it on September 25, along with in-game bonuses.

after what nba live dropped today, not to sound like a fan boy but this is a big yawn

Yes because Live revealed a mode that 2k has had for years and has already release info about.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - James Harden: Believe

I'm just not moved by the visuals right now. The body types look improved definitely; Wiggins looks real good. But, the more of these low res clips that are released, the more it looks like the visual enhancements may have been limited to just that. That K-A Towns looks like a CAP...maybe its early footage and he is.

Looks like the new Stance socks are in this build.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - James Harden: Believe

On Wiggins, also it is looking like people's suspicions could been confirmed. Seems like leg sizes look pretty uniform... Maybe scans were not full body.

Edit: Or maybe not...looks like there are different leg sizes. Perhaps not a scan though.

Dude do not start this ****. The last Beyond Shadows thread got screwed up because of all this garbage. Go to the Other Basketball Games forum if you want to talk about this stuff. Don't start bringing that Live vs 2K garbage in this thread though.

I'll take the under on that sir. I will take by the end of the day.

Also, IMO, that lighting looked good.

Won't derail this thread, yes X has mode Y years ago but had not in Z years.

yea i won't derail, but FOCUSING ON JUST THIS... i'm underwhelmed by the lack of gameplay footage we have seen of 2k so far. I want to see more

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - James Harden: Believe

Since no one else is gonna do it, time to analyze (btw I was wondering when Harden and AD's vids would drop-AD's will probably be next year lol).

DEANDRE JORDAN WAS SCANNED THANK THE HEAVENS!!!

Also, a lot of these clips are from an older build (Clippers old uniforms/Karl Anthony Towns and Sam Dekker scan not in the game)

Wiggins has his afro now, and Rubio has been updated.

Edit:By GAWHD! BY GAWD! IS THAT CAMERAMEN! (JR Voice)

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - James Harden: Believe

Knew as soon as Live dropped a trailer, 2k would respond. But this feels more like Wanna Know after Back to Back. I'll wait for the good stuff to come out.

Also, I recommend checking it out in 1080p on YT.

We're seeing no off court footage, only real life. These shorts are cool and all, but what does it all mean and when do we get to see footage of it....?

We also don't need to rehash this topic again. Especially since we've seen the same amount of "gameplay footage" from 2K as we've seen from the game you were about to derail the topic over. Amazing how that works.
