"We have one of the biggest announcements ever[u]," Argent vowed, "if not [u]the biggest ever in the history of the 2K Sports franchise ever coming in a couple of weeks. I think you'll be surprised. Pleasantly."
Jason Argent is the 2K Sports vice president of marketing, by the way. My initial reaction to this is excitement, but with 2K's track history, just like Jao said, we have to be careful what we get excited about. In the past, Ronnie2K (the main social media man for 2K Sports) has touted all too many things as big announcements.
What discerns this from the rest, is the bold statement that Argent is making. Biggest announcement ever. It's not the classical teams, surely. 2K did this last year, and it was a good year to do it, with the season being uncertain and everything. But now we're back at the courts, playoffs have just ended and we're getting excited over the draft. So, what could it be?
My early wish is that it's a big game mechanic (new physics/collision engine, maybe?) that we didn't see at E3 (maybe they delivered an old build on purpose). My prediction though? Something more or less disappointing.
So, what do you think this is going to be? Actual big news? Or some marketing ploy to build up excitement about something trivial, and get some pre-orders before the announcement? Gameplay? Game modes? Old legends? Something completely different?
Is this going to be the next "Impact Engine" level announcement in sports gaming? Or is it going to be something along the lines of an exclusive partnership with KIA (benji's guess
), so that we can jump over the Sorano in the dunk contest?
