Episode #327 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Dee4Three and I are your hosts for this week’s show.
The PlayStation 5 reveal event brought us an Announcement Trailer for NBA 2K21, which gives us plenty to talk about this week! We recap and react to the trailer featuring Zion Williamson, and a whole lot of sweat. In addition to highlighting the parts that appealed to us, we also discuss our concerns, along with the expectations it’s given us for next gen. We also speculate whether the PC version of NBA 2K21 will be a next gen port, or last gen as was the case with NBA 2K14. The trustworthiness of developer blogs and preview media is another issue we’re going to be mindful of this preview season, as we reflect on past controversies. We also consider the impact of next gen NBA 2K21 on the future of NBA Live, and what we can expect from last gen NBA 2K moving forward.

Are we gonna pay for NBA 2K21 twice? E.g. $60 for PS4, then $60 again for PS5.
I’d imagine they’d be two separate purchases, though that’s be a pretty good gimmick to get people to upgrade: offer a free PS5 version to people who bought the PS4 version (or the Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions). I think that’d be too good to be true, though!
Last time (360->1, 3->4) there were limited time offers/coupons to upgrade, as I recall, it cost $20 (~$25 in the non-USA countries) apiece. Let’s get back to archives)
I never saw any of those, but that is something that’d be nice to have again, for sure.
