NHL Developer Insights: NHL 2K10 Graphical Improvements

Re: NHL Developer Insights: NHL 2K10 Graphical Improvements

OK, 2K, even though I'm gonna buy this on day one, I would still like to see some solid gameplay footage. They say they are working on that, but are they really, or was that a cloud of smoke that went up my bum? We appreciate the blogs, the pics, and all, but the gameplay vids will seal the deal, unless they are from IGN of course.

I agree. I really want to see gameplay videos too.

I'll see your gameplay videos and raise you an actual demo. Truly, seeing this game in action on our own consoles would be the best way to judge the graphics. :wink:

Tim, I think the ligthing in the Arenas are difference. So that would mean that San Jose will have a difference color ice. I think that is one of their little things they added this year.

I noticed they didn't post a close-up on their cover boy, who, from the looks of the trailer, looks nothing like his real-life counterpart. Kinda sad.

Arenas are nice, but for many people it's the gameplay that matters.

You would never guess it by hearing everyone griping about the looks of the game. Such is the nature of pre-release hype, I suppose. The only stuff anyone can go off of is looks now.

Hell, even if they release gameplay videos, you'll have an idea but no definite answer. Like o6 said, "I see your gameplay video and raise you an actual demo." But I'm not holding my breath. Considering how long it took them to release information, I don't think that a demo is in the cards this year.

You're probably right. Another classic marketing mistake, unfortunately.

So does this mean you are going to stop your 2k7 seasons?

I think that I'm leaning towards 2k for my hockey game this year, 2k9 presentation and atmosphere kicked NHL09 arse all over the place, with better gameplay and less glitched 2k10 should be a hockey's fan wet dream.

I am leaning that way too but as orginial6 said I would like to try both demos first.

If the intro are in season mode too, then 2k10 will put 2k9 to shame in that department. It is that much different!

Yeah let's hope they are. Would be disapointing if they weren't

Ha! Never!

Just kidding. Yeah, whenever I do upgrade to NHL 2k10/NHL 10 (I'd like to get both, but money is tight, as usual, so I'd settle for just one), the NHL 2k7 playing will be over with. But just in case anything ever happens to my PS3, I'll keep the XBOX and NHL 2k7 around. But I plan on playing NHL 2k10 for just as long as I've played NHL 2k7, which my Flyers are into their 9th season now.

9 seasons in 2 years. Man, your poor players must be tired!

Hah, well it's been 3 years (NHL 2k7 came out in Sept. 2006). I really don't know how I played so many games, I just did it. I'm addicted to franchise mode, being able to draft and develop my players. I love my team.
