G4: This morning, Sega revealed many intriquing details about their upcoming squad-based FPS based on the Aliens movie series.
EA may be concerned about 2K Sport's All-Pro Football 2K8 and its effect on their very expensive, but very lucrative (and sometimes broken) Madden franchise -- but the concern looks to be a two way street.
Take Two, this just isn't your day. Or year. Despite having the very best intentions with their All-Pro Football 2K8 game (namely given Madden any, competition), things haven't gone too well. Yeah, it looks like the same old NFL2K game, but without the NFL teams it's fallen a little flat. Like, nobody's buying it. Prompting CEO and President Ben Feder to state during a conference call today that:
2K Sports announced today that All-Pro Football 2K8, the highly-anticipated football title from the makers of the celebrated 2K football series, is now available in stores across North America for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
America's favorite pastime will come to consoles, later this summer. 1up.com has confirmed that the Xbox 360 versions of Madden NFL 08 (August), All-Pro Football 2K8 (July), and NCAA Football 08 (July) will run at 60 frames per second, whereas the PS3 editions are locked at just 30fps. In the simplest of terms, this means that the 360 versions will run smoother and faster, and you'll have an easier time noticing subtle animations.
GameTrailers sports an image header that has a countdown to the next Game Head that will display 2K Sports' new game exclusively. Game Head is on every Friday, at 1 a.m.
Not to be outdone by the announcement of Vince Young as the current cover boy for Madden 08, 2K Sports has started listing the cover of All Pro Football 2K8 at major retailers...
2K Sports All Pro Football 2K8 has just released a full roster list of NFL legends available in the game via their web site. Due to EA gobbling up the NFL license, this was certainly the next best thing that 2K could offer their loyal fans. It looks as if the boys have been busy as this is quite an extensive list and should provide a a great reference to a players abilities and celebrations (Iggy Shuffle, anyone???).
