The real question of next-gen is: Who has the best sweat simulation?

EA and 2K Sports have apparently decided that nothing impresses like big sweaty men, and EA just countered 2k's stunning trailer with with this shot of Dwayne Wade (http://www.hdbeat.com/2005/10/03/ea-sports-teases-w-high-res-nba-live-screenshot-best-sweat/) (HQ (http://www.xboxyde.com/news_2063_en.html)).

Xboxyde has also posted a second trailer for NBA 2K6 (http://www.xboxyde.com/news_2069_en.html).

Folks, it's all purty purty trailers until you see it running on a console in your house.

Yes, even the PGR3 movies. (Although, those do appear to be more true-to-actual-gameplay than EA's trailers.)

the PGR3 movies, at least the original stolen clip, showed a UI and was from the in car view, that was how it will look if you're playing from that angle.

obviously this stuff is from replay angle, but replay angle is one thing, doing something like GT4's photo mode (a loooot of the prerelease screens were from photo mode, even in 1080i it didn't get close in actual gameplay) where the quality is far and above what you'll have in gameplay is false. I think we'll be able to see quite a bit even from the 3/4 angle, and apparently you'll be able to play from a floor level cam if you choose.

The previous link was just missing the g on the end of .jpg.

I don't like sports games, but those are some pretty screens though I doubt the game will play as smoothly as it looks once a human is controlling the action.

I'm impressed.

In a sports game, suped up graphics make sense. Shaq's too slim though :D

I'm tempted.

I remember us seeing super awesome visuals for Madden 06, and now we're left with something that looks way less beautiful. Same situation?

I think NBA 2k6 looks better...

These have already been debunked for both Live 2006 and NBA 2K6. Apparently both games use a much higher level of rendering quality during replay mode (where FPS may drop into the teens on X360), than in-game.

Well, that character detail couldn't really be noticed in-game anyway. The global illumination will make a difference, but that level of detal is pointless outside of photo/screenshot modes.

Is anyone is disturbed by the totally neutral face?
