GAMEPLAY:

The game included a pre-order bonus pack which includes 5,000 Virtual Currency (VC), 2 MyTEAM card packs, a choice of an International MyTEAM card or rookie Kevin Durant, and MyPLAYER jerseys inspired by Durant. On August 6, 2014 it was announced that Crew will be back in the game for current-gen consoles, then on August 7, 2014 it was announced that the game would have a new mode called MYLeague, which is similar to NBA 2K14's GM mode but with added customization and improvements. New RPG elements have also been introduced to the game, such as the conversation system and press conferences. On September 17, 2014 it was announced a face scanning system would be introduced into the game, allowing the player to add his/her own likeness into the game. There is a MyNBA2K15 mobile app that came out along with the game. It was also announced in August 2014 that the PC version would essentially be the same as the Xbox One and PS4 versions, making use of graphical enhancements first introduced in the eighth-generation versions of NBA 2K14.

Face Scanning Feature:

NBA 2K15 allows players to scan their faces into the game for created players, using the PlayStation Camera on PlayStation 4 or the Kinect on Xbox One. The 3-D mapping process creates a realistic rendition of the gamer's face to make their gaming experience as real as possible. The process of scanning the face will take about 30 seconds. Players need to get very close (6-12 inches) to the camera and slowly turn their heads 30 degrees to the left and right during the scanning process.

PART TWO HOTTEST GAMING NEWS

HOTTEST GAMING NEWSFinal Fantasy VII: Respecting the Remake

GE writes: “Final Fantasy VII Remake”, the words every Final Fantasy (shortened to FF for ease in the article) has begged for since the PS2. Honestly, I never thought I would see a remake unless Square was just losing money, and about to file for bankruptcy, and this year at E3, I was proven, oh so wrong. I remember hearing rumors that a trailer would be shown, but of course, these rumors have existed since 2005ish, and I brushed them off. However, I heard those words, “do we have surprise for you,” and I looked at the screen, heard the music from Advent Children playing, and saw Midgar, and went nuts. I lost it, my friend Greg called me, all the way from Alaska, my team called me, my best friend just laughed as he was home, my baby looked at her father as if he was dying, and Nicole just shook her head, and laughed at her boyfriend. FFVII was being remade, and I was already waiting for the Collector’s Edition. 

And then I heard it, I heard the dreaded words from other gamers, “they’re going to ruin it!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, these people had been BEGGING for this for years, and they immediately were doubting it. Hell, we didn’t even have any details on it, and they were doubting it."
