Homecourt on 360 beats PS3's visuals
Game Informer's March issue's review of the cross platform, 1080p native basketball game NBA Street: Homecourt makes a comparison in the graphics department between the two consoles. They clearly state that while the game looks stunning regardless, the Xbox 360 edges out the PS3. Similar results can be found for the PS3 review of F.E.A.R. in the very same issue. So, those are two games that go in Xbox 360's favor, but we'll have to see how things go as future cross-platform games release. In most cases, the games will probably be nearly identical, and it will be up purely to your personal preference, give or take $200. What upcoming multi-platform games are you curious about the comparisons for?[Thanks, Jonah]
NBA Street Homecourt demo coming soon
Planet Xbox 360 is reporting that a demo of NBA Street Homecourt is on its way to Xbox Live Marketplace. Homecourt is expected to arrive in March with the demo arriving in February. We haven't seen a lot of NBA Street Homecourt, but what we have seen looks very promising. Nice player models, insane dunks, and plenty of attitude, Homecourt looks to be shaping up nicely. Here's hoping that EA can deliver NBA Jam for a new generation.Anyone else out there waiting for this?
Joystiq hands-on: NBA Street Homecourt (PS3/Xbox 360)
NBA Street Homecourt pits your choice of more than 100 NBA stars -- and a half-dozen WNBA leaders -- against each other in three-on-three street games. The title references the players' favorite public courts, where the acrobatic games are set. We've seen these kinds of basketball titles before -- including the previous three NBA Street games -- but Homecourt uses a redesigned control scheme to set itself apart from previous versions.Instead of memorizing one basketball trick per button -- or worse, a dozen tricks based on combinations of buttons -- the new controls map several moves to a single button. Homecourt reads the way you push a button, translating several kinds of presses into different tricks. I was confused at first, but after recently playing the title, I began to look forward to this style of game.
