NBA 2K17
We always talk about modes and gameplay details when it comes to new sports games, but today's NBA 2K17 trailer dives into something a little more nuanced – how to convey the emotion of the sport.
The trailer highlights a lot of the ways the game is trying to ratchet up the drama on the court. The crowd reaction to a last-second buzzer beater and the players' dejection after a loss. The emotional flourishes of players as they celebrate a good shot and let everyone know who's on top.
NBA 2K17 comes out September 20, and if this trailer doesn't get you excited for it, you might want to consult your physician.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
