Art Director of NBA 2K12 , Lynell Jinks talks about some of the many changes and improvement coming to NBA 2K12. Some of these changes talk about the art style they went with to create a more life-like game. Hit the jump for some more information on these changes.
The artists here have taken a lot of time to make our game feel even more life-like than ever before. We took a lot of time to research and find references for all of the greatest players in every era, along with the old school feel that each of their eras is known for. We really worked hard to recreate more than a 150 new retired players with their accessories, hair, uniforms, court floors, etc. because, as Erick said in the NBA Greatest Insight, we are often going at least ten players deep on the 34 new legendary teams.
One of the most noticeable updates, we made this year, is capturing the likenesses for a lot of the key players. We updated close to 400 player heads that I felt weren’t up to par or needed a new, fresher look. I honestly think this is one of the biggest places you’ll see a difference up close.
