NBA 2K12 Video: Watch Legends from Past and Present in Sweet Intro
We video game nerds long for the franchise that can deliver an entertainment and emotional front. NBA 2K12 promises both as the intro for the new game has been leaked.
We have all seen the intro ABC has been playing for a couple of years during the playoffs. That video combines the old and new in a fresh take that grabs the viewer and prepares them for what they will watch.
2K Sports has given the same kind of production value for their upcoming release of NBA 2K12. The video encapsulates the very thing the creators of the video game are trying to capture this year.
It is all about the past and present coming together in a landscape that can only exist in a video-game haven.
As you see in the intro, old legends make way for the present stars of the game. I can only imagine what can be done when the game drops on Oct. 4.
The glee of running a backcourt of Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson, or Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose, is almost too much for this hoops fan.
The intrigue is only heightened by the fact that this may be the only basketball action we fans get for a season.
That puts a lot of pressure on 2K Sports to deliver another great hit like the one they did last year. In 2K11, we got to relive the glory years of Michael Jordan in an alternate universe of sorts.
Now we get the added bonus of more stars from basketball's past. After watching the intro, I want to watch some NBA action, shoot some hoops or pick up a controller; anything to be close to the game.
It is second nature to skip past the intro in a new video game. I will be watching this one again and again when the game finally gets added to my collection.
