‘NBA 2K21’ PS5 preview shows us the next-gen extraordinary image

NBA 2K21 is coming to PlayStation 5, Sony announced during the PS5 reveal event.

The minute-long trailer was first released during Sony’s The Future Of Gaming event, and is being billed as “actual PlayStation 5 pre-alpha NBA 2K21 footage”. A trailer shown during the live stream featured 19-year-old New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson, the №1 overall pick in last year’s NBA draft. In the video — Williamson dribbles and dunks on a practice court and it looked damn impressive.If you’re looking for the difference between current and next-gen systems, it’s not just the sweat, it’s the skin and the small details that help make his eyes look alive.

In an extended cut of the trailer released by 2K Sports after Sony’s event, Williamson and Greg Thomas, co-founder of NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts, provide some more details in an introduction before the “in-engine” footage. After playing a countdown of just two seconds, Thomas explained, “That’s the total time it will take to load NBA 2K21 on the PS5.” Sony has touted the speed of the console’s custom-built SSD, promising that it will essentially eliminate load times as gamers know them. The game loads in about a second, which is remarkable.

According to 2K, load speeds for the game will be “unrecognizable,” with game action appearing in less than two seconds. Visual Concepts co-founder Greg Thomas said in a statement that “With 2K21, we’ve got something that merges incredible graphic capabilities with new in-game opportunities to reset the sports sim standard.”

In a separate statement, 2K Games said that “NBA 2K21 will feature drastically improved load speeds, visual fidelity on an unmatched level and an unrivaled breadth of content for basketball fans and players”.

“Fans can expect new game features, game modes, brand partnerships, social events, in-game experiences, and a brand new soundtrack that will set the record as the most definitive collection of music ever assembled in a video game,” it added.

The description of the trailer shows that “NBA 2K21 is completely built for PS5”, and it also promises “the next generation of graphics, loading time and power.” The game is scheduled to debut this fall. Every year NBA 2K usually arrives in late September. This year’s work may be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. I believe that in this change, NBA 2K21 MT will make players more confident. After all, reaching a peak in the game is the wish of every player.
