NBA 2K15 is a month and some change out and we've barely heard any information on the title besides its pre-order bonuses. Thankfully, the guys and gals at Visual Concepts have finally put out a trailer that at least hits the minute mark, in order to hold us over. While there's not exactly any new information on game modes or gameplay tweaks, there does seem to be a bigger focus on the game's presentation.
There has been a surprisingly small amount of information on Visual Concept's next installment of their blockbuster basketball franchise, but thankfully, NBA 2K15 has finally shed some light on a plethora of new information, and by "plethora," I mean absolutely nothing.
If you happen to have a PS4 and be both a Samurai Warriors and anime nut, then Koei Tecmo is planning to deliver Christmas early just for you. In honor of the franchise's tenth year, Samurai Warriors 4 will be getting the ol' current-gen collector's edition treatment exclusively for Sony's fourth black box.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, despite the main game being a year old, proves to still be one of the premier downloadable titles around. Expertly-tuned combat, responsive platforming and addicting exploration and upgrade elements make damn sure of that.
Transistor is ripe with potential, and features a solid plot, a good combat system, solid RPG elements, and a knockout audiovisual presentation. Despite this, it doesn't rise to the occasion, and thus prevents itself from becoming greater than the sum of its parts.
For those that are impatiently waiting for a unique title, I come with awesome news: Transistor drops May 20th, and to help convince you of its distinctiveness, Supergiant Games (Bastion) have just dropped an incredibly intriguing launch trailer that greatly succeeds in making the short wait that much tougher.
When Don't Starve is not rage-inducing, it's an absolute charmer. Its wonderful, Tim Burton-esque art style lends tons of adorable quirkiness to the proceedings as does the pleasantly gothic soundtrack. It's not a game for everyone, but those who revel in micromanagement and hoarding tons of supplies to take on the dangerous wild with will eat this up.
NBA Live 14 muscles its way to the top of the list as the worst next-gen launch game. The competition has nothing on its significantly subpar visuals, paltry commentary, and stiffer-than-a-man's-morning gameplay.
NBA 2K14's reference-quality graphics, intricately animated gameplay, and massive time-sinking game modes allows Virtual Concepts to posterize the competition.
