In the end, The Bryant comes for us all.I was goofing off... er, I mean, working really hard at the office awhile ago when I recieved an unregistered text on my cell. It read:
"PS3 - NBA 2K10 - R1 (2,395) will be available today at 7pm.1 day rsrvationonly pls. reply..thnks - dtblitz mega- miles"
Predictably, I went apeshit. NBA 2K10, for 2,395.00? I thought they were going to sell it for 3,100.00 like NBA 2K9! That's a deal, buddy!
I drove off to Mega pagkapatak ng 5:30 and made a beeline for Datablitz, making it there by 6:15. There were already five people ahead of me in line, and after I queued up, madaming sumunod sa likod ko. I've seen launch day lines in the States, but I've never seen them in the Philippines - a totally new experience for me. The store was literally packed with hoops fans who had recieved the same text message I did. Funny story - the male DB clerk was muttering the following line: "Buti na lang nauna lumabas yung NBA Live kaysa dito, nakabenta din kami ng ilang kopya kahit papaano." LOL :-D
At this point I was all hyped up, and really couldn't bear to wait much longer. When my turn came up, I hurriedly paid for my purchase, and after happily running out the store clutching my substantially discounted Bean-branded video game, I finished the rest of my shopping and Vin Dieseled my way back to the house. I don't think I've gone home this early on a Friday night in months!
OT - Just thinking out loud: I wonder what the line for Uncharted 2 will be like? Now that's going to be a total nightmare. Mass hysteria!
OK, so on with the impressions: I popped it in my trusty PS3, played a couple games, and all in all was quite happy with the results. Although widespread reports have been coming in about the game having some pretty bad framerate dropping (here's a link), the slight slowdown I experienced wasn't a deal breaker for me. It's still better than NBA Live, by a substantial margin - just to be sure, I played the demo for NBA Live 10 again right after I logged off PSN, just for comparison's sake.
Dwyane Wade: Still Gay.Um, yup, it still sucked pretty hard. Gameplay-wise there's still no comparison. Live's framerate IS much higher, though, and the game looks more.... for lack of a better term, "high-definition".
Anyhow, since my brother still hasn't come home from his Friday night booze session, I have yet to test out NBA 2K10's single-TV multiplayer. Will update this post as I play some more. :-)
