Brand new, next-gen gameplay for NBA 2K21 has premiered today, giving us a look at t𓄧he Golden State Warrio🌸rs taking on the New Orleans Pelicans. 

Walking us through the new gameplay is executive producer Erick Boenisch and gameplay director Mike Wang. The pair talk up next-gen capabilities for NBA 2K21, starting things off with🐬 focusing on the actual courtside antics before the game, including animated fans, security guards, and more.

The duo also talk about the new camera angle for NBA 2K21. There's actually a new camera angle that puts you just above the heads 🥃of those sitting courtside, and it moves horizontally along the court with the ball, tracking the player currently with possession to give you a great view of the action from a side-on perspective.

I've gotta say, it's an incredible-looking piece of technology. The arena lighting, player models, and gameplay itself looks fantastic in the next-gen gameplay reveal for NBA 2K21. Seeing the likes of Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, and Zion Williamson going💧 at it is a great way to debut next-gen gameplay.

The new impact engine is also♈ displayed in a pr♒etty nice way here. We can see player collisions in a new light with the reworked mechanics, and Wang and Boenisch talk briefly about how they've redone player footwork for a more realistic feel.

NBA 2K21 is a day one upgrade for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on November 10, and a few days later for the PS5 on November 12, but only if you♛'ve purchased the Mamba Forever edition. Additionally, your 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:MyTeam progress will 𝓡be carrying ove⛦r to next-gen consoles.
