NBA2K14 : Review

NBA 2K14 on PS4 and Xbox One practically sells itself. I mean, look at it. Look. At. It. Here is a game whose visuals are so beautifully realistic that you almost have to stop and try it, regardless of how much you like basketball. Not since Fight Night Round 3 in 2006 has a sports game lured me in with its stunning graphics and kept me hooked with rock-solid gameplay the way NBA 2K14 is capable of doing. Only the new set of modes unique to this version of the game, which differ but don’t quite deliver on their full potential, keep next-gen 2K14 from dethroning its cousin.

PS4 interface and features revealed

Sony has finally unveiled the PlayStation 4’s primary user interface and provided an in-depth overview of its features at its launch event in New York.At first boot-up, players are presented with a view of all of the available player accounts, which are represented by a large, high-resolution image — whether it be a picture of the player or an icon. If you’re the sole user, you can configure the system to boot directly to the main interface, of course, but they’re giving multi-user systems a better gateway. For those that purchase the PlayStation Camera, the system also supports facial recognition. Players will go through a one-time calibration wherein the system snaps multiple views of your face for streamlined identification. In order to eliminate false or unintended logins, the system also requires players to raise the DualShock 4 into view as an added security layer. The PS4 also introduces guest accounts, which allow friends to create a temporary user account on the system that erases itself after they sign out.
