I was in New York City last week not only to get the first details on NBA 2K8, but also to see a motion capture session in person. After we saw 2K8's new dunk contest we headed off to the mecca of streetball, Harlem's Rucker Park. Upon our arrival Rudy Gay Andre Iguodala, Chris Paul, and Gerald Wallace were just suiting up for the session. After they got all decked out in the very uncomfortable looking motion capture suits they warmed up for a bit and then captured a few shots so their signature shots would be in the game. Once that was done they played two-on-two for a while, giving the guys from 2K some great moves (and quite a few turnovers) to add to their game.
As you know by know I'm crazy with the video blogs so I whipped out the camera and caught some of the evening on tape. We'll have a fancier version up later in the week that will include interviews with the players, but until then you can check out this video to see how the evening went.
*Yes, that announcer dude in the background is all sorts of annoying. Imagine him going on like that for 3 hours...
