NBA2K15’s face scanning has gone hilariously wrong

HEYYOOOGUYS

Sports games have featured face scanning tech in some way for nearly two generations. Since the advent of the webcam, game developers have sought to bring players actual likenesses into games. It makes sense for a sports fan; being able to play as you is appealing. You’d imagine though, with the new, higher fidelity cameras available, that it’d be a seamless, working process by now. You’d be wrong.

NBA2K15 is the latest game to feature facial scanning tech, allowing you to be in the game. Or at least, some sort of creepy, horribly disfigured version of you.

        Paint him white and send him against Minas Tirith. A lot more exciting than Goonies.

    The site is back online. WHEW!!! Almost threw the screen at my colleague. How do you guys expect me to remain sane without LG?
    As for the article, I have never used the face scan.

        You don’t understand. The people I work with think gaming is a waste of time and money. I’m the youngest in the department by 12 years. It’s frustrating hearing about how I should be grateful I don’t have kids. Here there’s like minded individuals (don’t know what that says about my mind ) and I couldn’t access it. Shit nearly went down

          Here is like minded individuals that’s probably 12 years older than you as well. Age means nothing.

          I find being 6’3″ and having a face like Tank Abbott restricts the amount of criticism I recieve when I discuss being a gamer…

      That implies Darryn has a girl friend.

        Have you seen his Batsuit? Hell, even Darryn should be able to pull SOME female attention in that thing. Just as long as he leaves the cowl on.

            But really now. My fiance took one look at him in his Batsuit and said: That is Michael Keaton’s Batman.
