2K Sports newest basketball "NBA 2K15" launched on Tuesday morning for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The game features modes like MyPark, MyTeam, MyCareer and innovative face scanning technology.
Gamers who pick up "NBA 2K15" for the PS4 or Xbox One will be greeted with the new feature that allows players to scan their face into the game.
According to IGN, 2K Sports developed the new technology to let players put themselves into games, especially for the game's MyCareer mode. Xbox One users can complete scanning by using their Kinect cameras while PS4 users can use the console's camera to scan.
Check out a preview of the new feature below:
The game's soundtrack was curated by "Happy" singer and new "Voice" coach Pharrell Williams, according toBillboard.
At a press conference for the announcement, Williams said he was honored by the distinction and revealed possible acts that will be on the soundtrack. Williams said that System of a Down and Strafe would make an appearance on the soundtrack but joked that he wouldn't be able to pull off making the soundtrack.
"I had some people from my staff -- they were all girls and women -- and we just talked about it. I was like, 'I have to do this, [but] I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull this off, because Jay did it and LeBron.' I'm like, man, how do I follow up those guys? They know so much more about the sport than I do," he said.
Williams said that since girls are playing the "2K" series, he wanted to make a female friendly soundtrack this time around.
"There are girls that play the game and there's a lot of girls that are around it ... so I thought it'd be such an interesting twist to have the girls weigh in on the song list, because they listen to it just as much," he said. "I tried to pick an alternative approach, because how do you follow up LeBron and Jay? I gotta take a different route. When we finished looking at the list, it felt right."
The multi-talented artist also took time to express how grateful he was for landing the gig and said he was excited for it.
"I'm tripping out that we get to put this music out. This never happens -- the system is never like that, where you look up and go 'Wow, we just pulled that off.' I'm pumped and excited," he said.
