NBA 2k14 confirmed 1080p 60fps X1/PS4

Ryan McCaffrey confirms NBA2k14 runs 1080p 60fps native on both Xbox One and PS4. No up res.

THamm3854d ago

Yes this game is the Next Gen!!

Lalanana3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Great news for all no doubt. :-)

NY Knicks babe here :-p

ohiostatesman3854d ago

Also was just confirmed COD Ghost runs at 1080P and 60 FPS on Xbox One as well. Xbox One gets dedicated servers for every game.

I thought XBO couldn't do 1080p...

mikeslemonade3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Well 2k14 isn't really a technically impressive game. X1 still isn't getting off the hook because racing games and basketball games at 1080p is expected.

THamm3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

2K14 isn't technically impressive??? It looks just as if not BETTER than any other next gen game on PS4, XB1 or PC. Period.
This excerpt taken from another forum post elsewhere:

mrmcgibblets • 33 minutes ago −
he's saying that it is impossible to have the "next-gen" graphics on the PC version because the PC version is just a port of the current-gen. If you look on youtube you can see videos of maxed out + modded graphics of NBA 2k14 and it's not even close to what is shown above.

The reason for this is that 2k is building this game from the ground up for next-gen, which means, for the time being, that you will only be able to experience these games on the next-gen consoles.

I'm sure 2k15 will have the upgrades for the PC version but for now you guys are stuck with current-gen "plus" I guess.

YES unlike most devs who updated everything for next consoles, 2K built from the ground up just for PS4, XB1. You can't coach that Peter O'Keefe!!

"u got owned + 1h ago

I thought XBO couldn't do 1080p..."

Um, the xbox 360 can do native 1080P, so why wouldn't the Xbox One be able to???

malokevi3854d ago

And COD is technically impressive?

I swear to god there is absolutely no logic behind all of this noise. I can't wait for launch, all of this will seem so stupid.

3/4 weeks and counting.

LOL_WUT3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

The more games in 1080p the better that'll silence the haters ;)

u got owned3854d ago

@ambientFLIER

i was being sarcastic.

mikeslemonade3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

^^^^
Y'all are wrong. It's technically unimpressive because the game has looked same since 2k11. Even the developers in a Q+A session said something like this: "Even though the game does look the same the gameplay evolution and pro stick.."

Now.. we haven't seen gameplay footage of 2k14 next gen but you can't expect much considering it's the first year.

And yes COD is more technically impressive!! That's why the game drops frames and the developers have to highly optimize it. If you have played the 2k series like I have since the early 2000s then you will know that the user interface is primitive and the online infrastructure is primitive too.

And just common sense. You know which genres require more hardware power and optimization. Racing and Sports games are in the lower tiers. Shooting and fast-paced action games are in the higher tiers. So that is why 1080p and 60 frames for a basketball game is a standard. You shouldn't be impressed with something that you are entitled to already.

dantesparda3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Mikeslemonade,

Dont even waste you're time with these clowns. They are obviously fanboys. And know nothing more than how to be retards. They dont get that 1080/60fps is not the impessive part, but rather in what games its being applied to. 1080/60fps in a game that isnt really pushing the hardware is not the same as having it in a technically more demanding game. Ridge Ricer 7 does 1080/60fps, so is that as technically impressive?

And p.s. nobody is saying that x1 cant do 1080/60, but rather that its not powerful enough to execute it on the titles that count. Like Ryse, KI, DR3, or possibly Titanfall and COD

bigboirock3854d ago

@malokevi

cod looks awesome if you see it in person not from vids from the internet

SilentNegotiator3853d ago

Basketball games have absolutely zero excuse not to be, considering how little demand such a format has for processing power.

Easy for sports games to get 1080p native 60fps on PS4/Xbone. FIFA is the same.. Its games which need a lot of memory bandwidth and large draw distances that it cannot be done on like FPS games and RPGs. So we wont see GTA 6 in 1080p 60FPS for instance.

XboxFun3854d ago

You mean I get to play my Warriors in 1080p and 60fps for the Xbox One!?

Come see me!

theWB273854d ago

Lakeshow...all about the Lakers. Better hope they have Curry's jumper down. That beast of a release needs to replicated to the T!

XboxFun3854d ago

Lakers with old man Kobe and ... who else?

And didn't we just whoop on ya'll in China? C'mon now, I am not worried about no Lakers.

JetsFool35003854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Yeah it was wayyy to slow in 2k13

theWB273854d ago

Old man Kobe is better than 90....99 percent of the young gen. This season may be a wash but we'll rebound : )

tcozzens3854d ago

better than that number 6 still.

Peep that 2013 all star game, last 8 minutes where kobe just shut Lebron down. And they say Lebron can't be stopped... lol

thebudgetgamer3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Come on none of you have a chance not that the MVP Jalen Rose is back.

Edit: I suck.

VanguardOfCalamity3854d ago

Maybe you mean Derrick Rose?? Regardless Miami and Bron gonna 3-peat :D

thebudgetgamer3854d ago

That's so embarrassing, I am quite the fool.

Cheer up, you could have said Malik Rose.

Sports games always looks so sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see them on next gen consoles. I bet 3 years from now the graphics will be TOO good.

Elit3Nick3854d ago

just look at star citizen, imagine when that becomes the norm O_O

JetsFool35003854d ago

When you cant tell if its a game or real life then thats too good

Angels37853854d ago

This is good to hear with these resolution rumors going around its nice to see something just plain neutral.

yewles13854d ago

There's no reason it shouldn't be 1080p on X1, no reason 'at all'.

Bzone243854d ago

It is 1080p. What are you talking about?

yewles13854d ago

What I'm talking about is: "OF COURSE IT'S 1080P, IT'S A FREAKING BASKETBALL GAME!!!"

christocolus3854d ago

first it was xbx one cant do 1080p even when forza 5 is obviously doing it, now visual concepts confirms it for nba and now its only a basket ball game...when cod is confirmed or quantum break im sure there will still be some flimsy reasons from your camp.. you guys need to know when to keep quiet and stop being so pathetic...its kinda embarrassing now.

Why Xbox believes it must cut costs and close studios

Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.

gold_drake5h ago

i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.

its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.

Jingsing1h ago

This is exactly what many people said would happen including the CMA and FTC. Lies lies and more lies and they allowed a $69 billion buy out to happen.

gold_drake1h ago

oh yeh it was 70 billion. that was my bad haha even worse.

thesoftware7301h ago(Edited 1h ago)

gold,

You can't be serious, right?

Do you think that MS thought they would make 80bill in a year & Half? They haven't even released titles under MS yet, lol.

But in fact, that A/B revenue is already paying off, look at the last earnings call. That $80 billion is long-term money, my guy, no sane person/company would think they would make that back in any short-term situation, it's a long-term investment.

Let's play silly then. If MS's reason for laying off staff and closing studios was due(which it really was not) to the A/B deal, tell me what Sony's reason was for past studio closures, the recent 900-person layoffs, closing Sony London, shutting down Dreams, and closing Japan Studio? Zipper? Psygnosis? cuts at all their internal studios.

Keep in mind, you are claiming MS's reason is because of the A/B deal; please explain Sony's reason.

Hofstaderman1h ago

You actually still defending them? Sheesh.....

gold_drake1h ago

this is not a sony vs MS debate. dont make it something it isnt.

and of course not, but im pretty sure they thought they'd make more money after the deal. they didnt, and closed off some studios.

its pretty insane to think there is any other reason for the closure of studios in this case.

romulus231h ago(Edited 1h ago)

(It really was) due to the Activision Blizzard deal and the loss of physical sales due to gamepass. You keep bringing up Sony in all your posts about this, stop deflecting and trying to change the topic, this is about MS and what they are doing.

BehindTheRows42m ago

Has nothing to do with Sony. Stay on topic.

notachance28m ago

once in a while you see someone too invested in their make-believe console war that everything happened has to be connected to said war…

a bit of banter between fans is normal, this crusade you’re doing now isn’t.

Chevalier8m ago

Wow idiotic. You bring up very old closures not that there haven't been recent ones from Playstations, but, seriously stop deflecting. This has NOTHING to do with Playstation.

Does Playstation got $3 trillion behind them and daddies wallet? No they don't so stop making a fool of yourself.

Xbox has never been profitable really and they just keep losing money so between their worst hardware sales, terrible 3rd party sales and now terrible 1st party sales.

Gamepass numbers that are no longer being announced shows their numbers after 3 years of missed targets has flatlined. Plus their recent gains up to 34 million were ONLY because they folded Gold members in too. Absolutely take your idiotic rhetoric out of here. Keep on topic without deflecting.

They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.

Skuletor1h ago

Maybe they were already using AI to make business decisions, which would explain why they closed Hi-Fi Rush's studio, then said they need more games like Hi-Fi Rush not long after that announcement.

Crows9052m ago(Edited 52m ago)

They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid

Einhander197220m ago

The better question is why did Microsoft buy publishers for a service they were subsidizing they knew couldn't support.

And why are so many websites trying to make people feel sorry for Microsoft instead of truly criticizing the fact they are closing studios and killing jobs that would have been fine if Microsoft themselves hadn't gotten involved.

Quit feeling sorry for Microsoft and start feeling sorry for the industry and the all the gamers who are actually losing out.

THIS IS MICROSOFTS FAULT.

RNTody18m ago

The first thing that happens after any major acquisition or merger is a consolidation of the whole new portfolio, which includes cutting any excess, bloat or portfolios that don't fit the larger MO of the big boy. So far, it's been par for the course with Microsoft and that's why gamers have been so against this acquisition. Tango Gameworks is the beginning. You think Microsoft wants to pay to keep small timers like Ninja Theory in business?

There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Microsoft will improve any of these studios, but plenty to suggest that they will get rid of what they don't need and hold onto the IP. The real agenda of the acquisition was always to acquire The Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Call of Duty, Candy Crush etc. that will create millions in passive revenue stream for Microsoft regardless of where the games release. Microsoft simply wants their cut.

Because of Games Pass Microsoft has no interest in investing in new IP which is risky and requires creative talent they can neither nurture nor manage. Game Pass has also not grown in the way Microsoft expected it to, even post acquisitions. Therefore the logical thing to do, without serious money makers to release, is to cut as much cost as possible.
