NBA 2K17 - Companion App (Confirmed Face Scan Feature)

[PeacemanNOT]

So it looks like Karl Anthony Towns is going to be on the cover of the companion app this year.



Also face scanning is a confirmed feature on the companion app. The question is, is it going to be compatible for the PC? I would assume so.

Finally, i hope its as good as NBA Live's. I think it would be for PC also i think it would upload the cyberface into their servers or some sort or through steam

[ThePointForward]

Given face scan feature is available on PC (with that Intel camera), I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be.

So KAT may be next year's cover athlete if history repeats.

Face scan is only available for console, thats fucked up

Wait, so that means I won't need PlayStation camera for face scan?

No, just the latest £300 phone...

[Book_Gazette]

No I think it should work on my $50 two year old smartphone, as it worked for live last year

[mp3]

Really? I have an s4 that was only a 2 years old last year and it was a bust for Live 16

[iamSamke]

Simple: "Yes, you can still use PS camera" was enough.

Operation Sports have confirmed that face scanning is PS4 and X1 only. That's very unfortunate.

I know I'll feel bad about that. The only issue is that 2K face scans aren't really as good, and I won't be playing as myself, and I'll be better off sculpting my face.

Remember 2K15

And so the PC version falling by the wayside begins.

We need to come to a point where we got the Perfect Base-Game. So we can Mod the Game and ignore new Releases. Like PES6 was back then, I played that for like 4 Years and always updated the Rosters etc with Mods.
Since most NBA2K PC Players are from Europe or China, 2K gives a flying fuck about us.

If the 144FPS Bug is not fixed this Year, I'm going fucking mad!

To be fair, people have been saying that for like 7 years. And it has lasted to this point, and still gets ported over.

Reiterating what I said on this week's Podcast, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with a deal with Intel, since they did add face scanning to NBA 2K16 PC, but only for laptops and all-in-ones with a RealSense camera.

I never said it wasn't going to be ported. I said it would start falling by the wayside just like it had been before 2K15. Prior to 2K15, PC got half of the content that the consoles got.

I didn't say you said it wasn't going to ported. My point is PC started falling by the wayside loooong ago. So I'm surprised you expected more.

[TBM]

Up until 2K15, yes. 2K15 and 2K16 were very different, though. The PC version in the last two games have had parity. It seems to be changing, though. This could be a sign of things to come.

[Andrew]

I still think it's more a sign that there's some kind of deal with Intel, but I suppose we can only wait and see, and hope for the best.

[ThaLiveKing]

I wonder if this is from the companion app or from a rig...interesting. This is from the french trailer

[Andrew]

That's a bit uncanny valley. Yikes.

Tweeted LD2K and Ronnie to no response, It'll be interesting to see the quality of the scans. 2K's create a player with the PS camera and kinect kind of look like clay models

[Andrew]

Sometimes a mixture of facial expressions and video compression don't do faces justice, too.
