NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with Mouth Guard - "Beyond the Shadows" Video on Monday

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with his Mouth Guard

The full-motion clip impressed me much more than the screenshot, because I don't think the screenshot looks like him all too much. But the moving of his eyes to focus on the rim, and fluidity of the graphics was amazing.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

MikeGSW that was so unnecessary but I'm not going to sit here and act like I didn't laugh at "nose hair molecules"

That snippet was awesome though...

I can see what guy's are saying about the eyes...I wonder if that it indeed a case of his eye position when scanning..

I swear it seems like some guys were scanned while smiling too..i.e Mario Chalamers...dude is always grinning in game

His eyes throw it off big time to me, but who cares. I'll hate him just the same when he's torching me for 40 pts. Same goes for Klay. Hate them dudes on 2k.

Yeah, that's likely a case of open-your-eyes-wide-so-we-can-get-a-proper-scan. Oops now your eyelids look off in a neutral position. It's a tricky problem that would either have to be hand tweaked after the scan or the scanning software would have to be able to scan multiple eyelid positions and interpolate between them to try to capture the width and shape of the folds correctly and how they might deform.

The cracked-out-Chris-Bosh effect in 2K14 might have been due to this.

uploadfromtaptalk1438964596425.jpg Yeah the lighting and player skins tones just throw everything off.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

The lighting looks a lot better, but I'm waiting until I see actual 5v5 footage. Looks good nonetheless, not sure why they released that screen of Curry like that lol

Edit: seeing the picture above, 2K isn't using hard light, have to judge the lighting based on their art direction in game.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

Great so lemme guess that the mouth piece addiction pretty much made this THE DEBUT "2K16 gameplay" since he's just walking up to the free throw line himself and no other players are shown

Also funny you would say mouthpiece "addiction". Curry actually seems to have a bit of a mouthpiece chewing fixation. So much so that he endorsed a line of flavored mouth guards in different flavors and colors.

I'm returning 2K16 if it doesn't allow me to buy all the flavors with VC.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

Nice addition, hopefully we can get some game play video soon because as much as I like the detailed things they add, still number one on my list is game play and everything that has improved with it.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

So...will AD get the same type of detail?

[ATTACH]103964[/ATTACH] Yeah the lighting and player skins tones just throw everything off.

Again...I don't know if it's just l*ghting, or just an actual lack of detail in the graphics, but 2k's graphics just lack alot of "dimension" to them? I'm not sure if that's the word I am looking for, but... I mentioned this many times before, l*ghting should bring out the different angles and bone structure in Steph's face here, for example. Without it things just look flat. And it's not just this screenshot, it's present in all 2k16 screenshots, and all previous games. Edit: And what happened to the appearance of sweat that used to be in the game and that is in the comp's game?

That criticism aside, I already know 2k16 is going to be a great game with amazing gameplay.

It's hard to say, because the photo might not be color corrected properly either. But Curry is probably more red and ruddy than he should be. Meh.

Also something about the scan process seems to result in larger heads in proportion to the features. Curry's eyes in 2K seem to sit noticeably smaller on his head than the photo. I also noticed this with Harden's bulbous head in the Gamescon footage. And the eyelid thickness difference can be seen pretty well in that comparison shot as well.

Wait. That's no mouthguard in 2K. That's just Invisalign braces.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

It annoys me when Curry pulls his mouth guard out in real life and now it will annoy me in 2K aswell.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with his Mouth Guard

Where did I say they can't be criticized? I'm very critical of a lot of things they do. But it's constructive criticism.

You need to develop a sense of humour. Don't take things so serious.

I felt that you were insulting the people that were talking about visuals but fair enough.

It's the lack of more defined specular highlights and what seems to be a lower intensity for the arena lights in comparison to the global and ambient illumination. As a result a lot of the structures and definition on players look a bit washed out.

What I don't want 2K to do is overdo it like Live, where everything looks rubbed down with oil and speculars are overdone to the point where they create white harsh noisy sparkles. But a little more of that wouldn't hurt.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Steph Curry with His Mouth Guard

Sick as hell. Hopefully, other players have them. Jesus how much something so little could add to the game.

No way CB was scanned.....I hope not lol
