What signature facial expressions did you guys do for the game? I know 2K mentioned Kobe's snarl with his bottom jaw sticking out is in the game. Anything else?
gameplay video just released... http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14293226/tba-nba-2k10/videos/nba2k10_gmp_lakersvscavs_92109.html and other demo videos... http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14293226/vids_1.html
I have bought the game every year since 2K2 on Dreamcast. I was extremely disappointed in 2K9...it felt way to much like 2K8. Now that Kobe is on the cover I refuse to buy 2K10 until it comes down to 19.99. God I can't stand Kobe.
how much is a new game these days? $60? if the graphics isn't that much better, i might as well just get NBA2K9 instead. i haven't bought a basketball game in like 10 years.
Still don't know why 2K is continuing to price the PC version at $20 (especially since I think they're adding some missing features)...but I'll take it.
The facial expressions I have seen look better than any I have seen in a video game but I only play EA football and 2K basketball so... really neat feature though. The player/floor animations still look a little odd but they never bothered me. AI defense looks way better.
Yeah, because I should definitely compare the technology of today's current video game systems to that of thirteen years ago. I just find it odd that 2K will sometimes go out of their way to make the Anthony Carters of the world look precisely how they actually do, instead of focusing on certain bigger name players.
Wait until you see "The ballad of Gay Tony" or "God of War 3" or...many other good games this Christmas....we did a ton of the facial animation for most of the big games. DD
I never understood why people complain about facial appearances so much. On OS, people complain about players not having right tattoos or hair styles on Madden, yet how often do you actually see a player's face during a game?
LOL I forget to clarify SPORTS game. I also meant I only play EA football and 2k basketball SPORTS games. Like I sometimes say, 99ers are going senile.
You got my attention. IIRC, the E3 Demo menu had a closeup of Kratos' face, which I assume will be part of the final game somehow (probably start screen ala Heavenly Sword?). Should be a good way to show off your company's work. Well...that and all the facial animation of the disembodied heads Kratos will be holding. It must be...um...interesting to have to animate that. (I'm assuming you guys worked on those things, although even if you didn't, I'm sure whatever you did work on is great...doubt Sony Santa Monica would accept anything that wasn't). Agreed. Not that I couldn't appreciate the work that went into improving the facial animation, but it is probably something I won't pay much attention to. I think I noticed some dialogue from 2K9 (or previous games?), which probably got more of my attention. It does seem like most of the commentary was new/improved though IIRC.
