Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)

Since 7607 DaysThe IGN and Gamespot reviews of Kameo are decidedly different aswell, with Gamespot being the most surprising as Kasavin is usually VERY strict!
Since 7600 DaysAnyway, Gamespot - and Greg, Jeff and Alex in particular - is where my trust lies, so I'm picking Kameo up for release.
Roll on the PDZ reviews!

They love the player and court graphics, but are upset that the coaches look bad and that it is "the same exact game that we saw in the current generation. While 2K6 was a very good game on those consoles, we want to be blown away by our next-generation games" in reference to features and gameplay--they did not cut anything at all, but they did not add anything less the on court visuals.
One odd comment: "NBA 2K6 for the Xbox 360 is an improvement over the current-generation version, but only barely. The fact that you can only get a hint of the 360's power when you go into high-definition mode on your HD set tells me that gamers may want to think twice before throwing down the $450-plus needed to bring this particular NBA experience into their homes."
This is one of those comments that makes you smack your head. While I know that a lot of general consumers have a hard time judging graphics, let alone distinguishing between art and technology and visuals and animation, I have to laugh if they have a hard time seeing the difference in lower resolutions. The stadiums and the player models--and the fluidity of the models and unis--sticks out.
It is like watching a Lord of the Rings on TV broadcast or LotR on DVD. Yeah the DVD version looks better, but no one is going to mistake the TV broadcast CGI for the old Donkey Kong CGI cartoon! And comparing the DK CGI in HD still wont make it look better than the LotR CGI!
"That is, for the price of the premium Xbox 360 bundle and a copy of NBA 2K6 you're going to get the same game we saw two months ago on PS2 and Xbox but with slightly better player models and improved animations when you're playing on an HD display in 720p. If you're squinting you might confuse high definition NBA 2K6 for a live broadcast, but I think Xbox 360 fans can and should expect more out of developers and the hardware as we all move forward with this new console."
Slightly upgraded player models?
Not only do they have superior poly counts and textures, the models have a slew of advanced graphical features being applied (ambient occlusion, haze, sweat, skin shaders, eye shaders, beaded sweat, multi source light reflections and color, etc). The game has AA, DOF, adaptive filtering, and so forth. And it also has the sexy cloth physics that give a great sense of motion and individuality--not to mention they get sweat stains in game!!
To call these slightly upgraded player models is a crime. With their comment about "expecting more" from next gen in regards to this issue is a joke. Yes, games will get better and look better, but expecting more at launch? No PC game running on top end hardware has pushed out player models as good as NBA 2K6.
We are talking about models and technology not found on current PC games or current gen Console games. They are significant upgrades over the current gen models, so I do not know what they are seeing if they think they are only slight upgrades. That definately is overstating their let down with the game.
Since 7600 DaysI mean what the hell?

Since 7520 Daysthe only thing the same is, well Basketball you throw the ball, dribble the ball then you shoot the ball.
if they carnt see the diffrence then they shouldnt be doing the job
(ps2 fanboy thats my guess lol)
Since 7555 DaysI was expecting a 7 to come from him but he seems very happy about the game to the point that he actually said that the game was a true next generation title.
Regardless of reviews though, I am rarin to get this game! Some of the Canadian winners of the Doritos promos who got their XBOX 360's early are giving a lot of good word on this title. And all those XBOXYDE videos are enough to prove to me that it will be a fun game!

Since 7563 Days8.8 for PGR3 is a surprise, but I guess it gives some room for improvement.
P.S can you link any videos reviews if you find them. They are so much easier than reading. Game spot has a kameo one, and IGN has a PGR3 one. Thanks

Since 7600 DaysSo yeah, I think they've plain made up their minds about being extremely harsh and mention "expect more" and "next gen" a whole bunch.
I'm just gonna wait for Gamespot to review the lot.

Since 7559 DaysMadden has is a winner...since way back on the computer....the NFL knows this...so they went with a winner...im not saying VC isn't a hot team...
Wow... i can tell you did not play NFL 2k5... EA was affraid that the 2k series was going to take over.. because it was a better game... looked a hell lot better and was fun... hence why they steal all the ideas from it... madden is great.. but the NFL went with EA because they had the cash... ea felt it was better to get rid of the compitition...
