Support NeoGAF

[Jarate]

Ahh, okay. Yeah, feel free to not port your old engine if you can't make it hit 60 yet, lol. I'm still pleasantly surprised EA went ground-up and didn't just go with Ignite.

no one knows the true FPS count yet. People who report on FPS early are usually wrong, at least from what ive noticed. Wait until actual news shows up before we come to that conclusion

Im pretty sure they should be able to hit 60 frames at 720p. No one knows the resolution or the docked situation yet either

 

[Effect]

Is there any actually gameplay footage?

 

[Cjdamon042]

Also has the new Celtics Kyrie cover image so it's definitely a new build I think.

It looks like he has no arms there. Took me a while to notice them haha.

 

[Lonely1]

Why do people are taking the title out of context? The important things are gameplay parity and features parity. There obviously going to be graphical downgrades....

 

[Jarate]

It looks like he has no arms there...

Breh, Kyrie not having arms is what makes him such a special b-ball palyer

 

[EDarkness]

Is there any actually gameplay footage?

Go Nintendo says some guy has video on their Instagram account, but when I went there I didn't see the video.

 

[Plinko]

That doesn’t look identical to 2K on PS4

More like on PS3

The OP needs an addendum that says "Identical is in reference to modes, not graphics."

 

[Rellik]

It must be a very recent build, it has Thomas on the Cavs unless she did the swap herself.

That looks pretty good for the Wii version.

Yeah its weird....thread title would have been fine with just mentioning that it offers all modes/featured of the other versions. "Identical to PS4" will just make people go crazy again lol.

 

[LordKano]

They probably used last gen as a base and went from there. I was more hopeful about this game, but I'm thinking maybe I won't be picking this up.

It's not. It's based on PS4/One versions.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

The OP needs an addendum that says "Identical is in reference to modes, not graphics."

Or people could read articles instead of just headlines.

 

[EDarkness]

It's not. It's based on PS4/One versions.

Doesn't look that way to me, but okay.

 

[freethoughtbubble]

The OP needs an addendum that says "Identical is in reference to modes, not graphics."

It should go without saying, really, even if you don't bother reading the article. Should being the operative word.

 

[Lonely1]

Doesn't look that way to me, but okay.

In what way doesn't look like way?

Yeah its weird....thread title would have been fine with just mentioning that it offers all modes/featured of the other versions. "Identical to PS4" will just make people go crazy again lol.

People want that systems wars going so bad...

 

[EDarkness]

In what way doesn't look like way?

My opinion, of course, but looking at hands and heads. Reminds me of the 360 version.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

That looks pretty good for the Wii version.

Yall are gonna start this again like when yall first saw Fifa? lol

 

[Niceguydan8]

The "identical" is a poor word choice by that article author. The only things identical are the modes included.

Not a poor choice by the author, rather just a misleading choice by the OP. The title of the article itself makes it perfectly clear.

The only time the term "identical" is used is when talking about how the game is feature complete.

So really, this one is on OP.

Or people could read articles instead of just headlines.

The OP makes it needlessly ambiguous. Why would it be hard to just copy and paste the actual title of the article?

 

[Rafus]

Yeah, they are talking about modes, obviously graphics will be another story. And that screenshot doesn't look very promising...

 

[pretty done]

It must be a very recent build, it has Thomas on the Cavs unless she did the swap herself.

https://twitter.com/The_Katbot/status/903295113304170496

lol holy shit the jaggies

Great that this is feature complete, but bah gawd is it ugly.

 

[Jarate]

snakes dont have arms

Damn son

Yeah, they are talking about modes, obviously graphics will be another story. And that screenshot doesn't look very promising...

Once again, can we please not judge a games graphics by a camera phone screen shot that's zoomed in super heavily onto a 720P screen?

Im sure this game will look rough as hell. But let's not act like that's a good screenshot done using proper software

 

[Friend of Sonic]

Feature parity is great!

 

[LordKano]

People are now judging how close to other versions a game looks based on an extremely zoomed-in cheap shot of the Switch in handled mode.

 

[Cornbread78]

The USGamer article is terrible honestly. Like it directly quotes a tweet from Kat Bailey (who runs said site)... that shows the game is not identical in any way other than being feature complete. That is not the same thing as being identical.

It looks straight up bad compared to the other versions.

Click bait title? lol

 

[Neoxon]

Good to hear about feature parity. Now 2K just needs to announce 60fps & we're golden.

 

[Shin-Ra]

So visuals are the same as well? Impressive.

No.

 

[Blue Ranger]

I think there's an event where they will be showing off the Switch version (among other things) more later today around 3:30PM EST so hopefully we can get further confirmation and information about this then.

Ok thank you!!

I believe it's going to be live on facebook.com/NBA2K 90 MINUTES from now according to the official twitter.

LOL what kind of event is this ha ha!

 

[The Hermit]

Will be a short thread.

Hahaha.

That Fifa thread begun huge, then when the switch version turned out fine, it slowed down considerably.

 

[Tregard]

Very impressive and a great sign of things to come

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Yeah that title is much suited for the this statement because I know for a fact that it won't be identical

 

[moltonasty]

Saw a comment that it's 30fps, I hope that's not the case.

Uh oh...this better not be true.

 

[Minsc]

There, that's a little less misleading for people who want to post off the title only.

 

[El Sabroso]

wait, amiibo support ? that is interesting

 

[Tregard]

There, that's a little less misleading for people who want to post off the title only.

Gah, many thanks

 

[Jarate]

wait, amiibo support ? that is interesting

yeah, I think this was announced a while ago

gimme my Joel Embiid Amiibo)

Spoiler

Lowkey, I would spend legitimately a hundred dollars on a Sam Hinkie Amiibo, just sayin 2K

I'm sure very few people in this thread believed the Switch version was graphically on par with the PS4 version even with this new news

So there's no need to white knight for your "big boy"

breh, the PS4 has that pampers on. He's a big boy now

 

[Ivan 3414]

lol..there is no way this is true - the PS4 is a much more powerful system. Yeah, feature wise and game mode wise the Switch version might offer the same....but the big boy version will look better, dont kid yourself.

2K was featured in reveal Switch trailer just like Bethesda with Skyrim....so i hope they at least tried their best with the Switch version.

I'm sure very few people in this thread believed the Switch version was graphically completely on par with the PS4 version even with this new news

[Lonely1]

wait, amiibo support ? that is interesting

Kobe amiibo!?

 

[Berg]

Saw a comment that it's 30fps, I hope that's not the case.

Show us where you saw it

Edit: nm,found it here

 

[LordKano]

Found a short off-screen video of the game running on Switch, will keep digging to see if I can find more :

Visual experts can do their job.

By the way, the comment says : "The Switch version of NBA 2K18 is, how to say it...an absolute killer visually !".

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

We've been discussing this in the other thread but definitely needs its own.

Amiibo Support is going to be interesting.

I hope not.. are amiibo confirmed?

 

[EDarkness]

Show us where you saw it

Posted from the other thread....

Some guy at the event is saying that the game is only 30 fps for the switch.

What's funny is the tweet saying it looks great lol

 

[Lonely1]

Are they only showing the handheld mode?

 

[ron_bato]

A few more guys mentioning 30 fps for the switch version (nothing confirmed yet). Also says in his tweets that its 720p on docked mode.

I like that this is dope, what a perfect way to show off the switch version

 

[Megatron]

They probably used last gen as a base and went from there. I was more hopeful about this game, but I'm thinking maybe I won't be picking this up.

Im not buying a digital sports title. Physical only so I can sell it in 6 months.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It looks like he has no arms there. .

He plays defense like he has no arms.

 

[lovely ladies]

From that short clip, I don't think the last gen versions had cheerleaders or the gatorade graphics mixed in with timeouts so this one's closer to the PS4/XB1 versions in that regard.
