Kevin Durant – VGBlogger.com http://www.vgblogger.com Celebrating geek culture -- Books, Gadgets, Video Games & More! Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:31:44 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Pharrell Williams Curates “Happy”-less NBA 2K15 Soundtrack http://www.vgblogger.com/pharrell-williams-curates-happyless-nba-2k15-soundtrack/27764/ Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:31:44 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=27764 NBA2K15_Soundtrack.jpg

The full song list for the NBA 2K15 soundtrack, produced by Pharrell Williams, has been revealed. Surprisingly, the singer-songwriter did not choose his latest hit “Happy” for the soundtrack (although he did pick four of his other tracks). That’s fine by me, as I’m all “Happy”-ied out at this point. Unfortunately, his choice of songs overall makes for one of the weaker NBA 2K soundtracks I can remember.

Here’s the full NBA 2K15 track list:

A Tribe Called Quest – Scenario
Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force – Planet Rock
Basement Jaxx – Hot ’n Cold
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – River Styx
Busta Rhymes – Dangerous
Clipse – Grindin’
Death from Above 1979 – Romantic Rights
Depeche Mode – Personal Jesus
Junior – Mama Used to Say
Lauryn Hill – Doo Wop (That Thing)
Lorde – Team
Major Lazer featuring Pharrell Williams – Aerosol Can
Missy Elliott – On & On
No Doubt – Spiderwebs
OneRepublic – Love Runs Out
Pharrell Williams – Hunter
Pharrell Williams – Can I Have It Like That
Pharrell Williams – How Does It Feel?
Public Enemy – Shut ‘Em Down (Pete Rock Remix)
Ratatat – Seventeen Years
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Suck My Kiss
Santigold – Creator
Snoop Dogg – Drop It Like It’s Hot
Strafe – Set It Off
The Black Keys – Everlasting Light
The Rapture – House of Jealous Lovers
The Strokes – Under Cover of Darkness

In other NBA 2K15 news, 2K has released the first in-game screenshot from the PC version, which will offer “even more graphical fidelity” than the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Look below for a close-up of photorealistic Kevin Durant sweat.

A Quick Teaser Look at NBA 2K15 Gameplay http://www.vgblogger.com/a-quick-teaser-look-at-nba-2k15-gameplay/27645/ Thu, 07 Aug 2014 18:57:54 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=27645 NBA2K15.jpg

This new teaser trailer for NBA 2K15 is 30 seconds long, but between intro logos and the outro splash screen there’s only around 10 seconds of actual footage from the game, which is just enough time to watch cover star Kevin Durant dribble up the court and posterize Andre Iguodala with a nasty crossover dunkface. Also pay close attention for a peek at this season’s new crowd elements, including fans waving giant Kevin Durant Fatheads. That’s some sneaky in-game marketing for you.

NBA 2K15 tips off October 7th on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

NBA MVP Kevin Durant Named NBA 2K15 Cover Athlete http://www.vgblogger.com/nba-mvp-kevin-durant-named-nba-2k15-cover-athlete/26219/ Wed, 07 May 2014 13:39:17 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=26219 NBA_2K15_KevinDurant_CoverAthlete.jpg

A day after being crowned NBA league MVP for the 2014 season and giving one of the most emotional speeches you’ll ever see from an athlete, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar forward, Kevin Durant, has been announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K15.

Durant is no stranger to the cover athlete gig. Once upon a time, the four-time NBA scoring champ graced the cover of NBA 2K13 as part of a “Big Three” team also including Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose. NBA 2K15, however, will be Durant’s debut as a solo cover athlete.

“I’m honored to be selected for the cover of NBA 2K,” said Durant, who is currently leading the Oklahoma City Thunder against Los Angeles Clippers during this year’s NBA Playoffs. “I’ve been an avid fan and player of NBA 2K since I was a kid, and being selected as the sole cover athlete of NBA 2K15 is an amazing accomplishment at this point of my life. I feel like my time has come.”

“We’re continually challenging ourselves to align the NBA 2K franchise with the best of this generation, and Kevin Durant brings one of the NBA’s greatest into our stable of kings,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. “Our goal is to consistently bring an unmatched experience for the millions of fans that play the NBA 2K series, while paralleling the NBA’s evolution and growth year-over-year.”

NBA 2K15 will be released October 7th for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Pre-orders are now available via the NBA 2K Facebook App.

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose Form NBA 2K13’s Big Three Cover Star Dream Team http://www.vgblogger.com/kevin-durant-blake-griffin-and-derrick-rose-form-nba-2k13s-big-three-cover-star-dream-team/16215/ Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:55:26 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=16215
NBA2K13_Cover_BigThree

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat just won the NBA Championship, validating their much-maligned Big Three alliance in South Beach, but in the video game world 2K Sports has formed its own Big Three dream team.

NBA superstars and former Rookie of the Year award winners Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose have been named joint cover athletes for NBA 2K13, taking the torch passed on by all-timers Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird to establish a “New Dynasty” of NBA legends.

Here’s what the new cover star teammates are saying about the deal:

”Being crowned as one of the NBA 2K13 cover athletes is a huge honor and something I always dreamt about,” said Durant, who won his third straight scoring title and led the Thunder franchise to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1996. “It’s definitely humbling to grace the cover after the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.”

“There’s so much young talent around the NBA, so it’s very exciting to be chosen for NBA 2K’s ‘New Dynasty’ alongside Kevin and Derrick,” added Griffin, who helped lead the Clippers to their first postseason since 2006. “The NBA 2K series has always been my first choice when I want to get a game in.”

“It’s a dream come true to be one of the cover athletes for NBA 2K13,” commented Rose, the 2010-11 NBA Most Valuable Player, who led the Bulls to a league-best 50-16 record this season. “I’ve worked closely with 2K Sports since NBA 2K10, and I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan as the latest Chicago Bull to be featured on the cover.”

NBA 2K13 launches October 2nd for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC and PSP. A Wii U version is also in development for release later in the holiday season.
