EA must be scared of 2K since they skipped out on Live 13 gameplay

-Ghost4342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

Was thinking the same thing. You can expect some 2K13 game play at 10PM EST over at Spike. OKC Vs Spurs and All-star Weekend game play.

Rainstorm814342d ago

i was thinking the same, NBA Live is having this big return and they didnt even have a trailer during the presser...... Yea i think they acknowledge the NBA kings

black9114342d ago

It might be at 2k13 or live 13 will be at Sonys Conference.

Why do they're player models always look like they're made of plastic or wax?

OpenGL4342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

Current gen consoles aren't really powerful enough for the kind of high quality shading needed to accurately portray skin while still handling all of the other rendering required.

Could they make a more realistic looking Lebron if they tried? Sure, but they'd have to remove detail elsewhere.

This demo was released back with the 8800GTX and showed off some pretty realistic skin, but the demo only managed 30-40fps rendering just the head on a GPU that was much faster than what's in the PS3 and 360.

I just find it incredibly strange that EA didn't even offer a mention of it at their conference.

For a game that has been in hiatus for several years, you would think that EA would want to really publicise it's return. It's up against a franchise that is both critically and commercially successful, so EA would have been wise to use every opportunity to put it out there in the public sphere.

Who knows, it may pop up in another conference.

Im glad live is back, 2k needs the competition, before it gets stale.

Will EA Revive NBA Live 14 For PS4 and Xbox 720?

For many years, EA’s NBA Live series was the premier basketball simulation for video gamers. They offered great graphics (at the time) and accessible enough gameplay to make the overall experience fun.

It seemed like the NBA Live series would go on forever much like the FIFA and Madden series. That is until recently when the NBA Live series went dormant. Will EA then revive NBA Live 14 for next generation consoles?

Yes....they'll revive it....and cancel it again.

Ashunderfire864044d ago

Can you imagine this with the Fox Engine Photo Realism players!!!!

Derekvinyard134044d ago

These games are really disappointing compared to 2k

nevin14044d ago

They should start with a Vita version

2pacalypsenow4044d ago

Hopefully im getting tire of 2k they are getting lazy and greedy with the stupid coin system

black9114044d ago

MC NEw York 2pac was a fake thug from NEw york!!!

Kingthrash3604044d ago

2k needs the compitition. Live is nothing compared to 2k but 2k has been lagging imo. Things as simple as rebounding are broken this year...shows how lax they are....like madden, I can only imagine how much better it would be if it had competition.

sensor214044d ago

2k has glitches guys stealing balls with they back turned 3 point records being broke every game live please come back

The Biggest Disappointments Of 2012

kotaku.com: 2012 was a hell of a year for video games. We got a ton of fantastic games to play, surprises of all shapes, sizes, and colors. It was also a year of upheaval, when things often didn't go according to plan, and when many a game failed to live up to expectations.

i also voted down. not even going to give them the satisfaction of a hit because i'm willing to bet that half of the list is sony-related for no good reason.

KangarooSam4143d ago

Vita, The Last Guardian, Twisted Metal, and "limp fall lineups from Sony and EA".

Root4143d ago

Have you noticed they have like 4 negative things from Sony

PSV
Twisted Metal
No news of the Last Guardian
No good line up from EA AND Sony

No good line up....oh and Microsofts and Nintendos was any better...jesus chrsit these guys hate Sony don't they.

RandomDude6554143d ago (Edited 4143d ago )

Kotaku: "Microsoft's purple yogurt shooter rated up and delicious"

KangarooSam4143d ago

A disappointment article AND a Kotaku article?! Dear god, this will be bad.

RandomDude6554143d ago

a kotaku article IS a disappointment article

I agree 100% with Diablo 3.... Such a major letdown.

banjadude4143d ago

I'm so sad about that, too. I'm a huge Diablo fanboy and I even bought the collector's edition. After about a week of playing, I just didn't feel like it was fun enough/worth it to bother with the higher difficulties.

I dropped the game afterwards and never went back. A damn shame, really...

sithsylar4143d ago

Exactly how i feel as well... This is what happens when you make a game around a drm....

Hydralysk4142d ago (Edited 4142d ago )

That's what happens when you pull out all the stat mechanics and skills choices and instead make every same level character identical except for their gear...

Granted it took awhile to level up a character in D2 but it was always fun to try out new and possibly stupid builds instead of giving us every single spell just for leveling up.

Norrison4142d ago

It was on the ropes and the auction house killed it

majiebeast4143d ago

Only thing they got right was the Collosal failure of Diablo 3 a game thats been run into the ground by lack of content running act 3 can only be fun for a while and bots.

Hydralysk4142d ago

I thought swtor launched last year...sometime in early december if I remember right.

Buy or Sell: NBA Live, Blezinski's Epic Departure, PS Vita, Wii U Launch

GotGame: Is Cliff Blezinski's departure from Epic a cause for concern for Gears of War? Should EA retire NBA Live? Does the Wii U launch have you pumped? Find our what two of our staffers have to say.

TheRacingX4211d ago

No games for the Vita.... that's pretty funny

SandwichHammock4211d ago

They actually wrote that? You're right, what a thigh slapper. Thanks for saving me from clicking on the link.

ohhhhh, its an opinion piece. I guess that makes it alright... O_o

3-4-54211d ago

There aren't many Vita games I would buy right now.

But purchasing a Vita would still be a good decisions for me personally because I never owned a PS1,Ps2,Ps3 or PSP. I get to play all but the PS3 games on the Vita. That is a huge back catalog of RPG's and other good games for me to play and most of those will be cheap since they are older games.

^ So considering that + the fact that Vita will be getting games for the next 5-8 years = I'm getting a Vita at some point.

I just don't want to rush in and get one the week before a sale like I did with 3DS.

I bought a 3DS at Gamestop, the next day they started offering Pilot Wings resort FREE with purchase. lol not for me though.

Blastoise4211d ago

Lol Pilot Wings resort? I'm pretty sure you didn't miss out on much

killatia4210d ago

Gotta agree with Blastoise, your not missing anything from Pilot Wings resort.

Ramon3MR4208d ago

Yeah Pilot Wings Resort felt more like a tech demo than anything.
