1080p race: NBA Street gets “first post” on retail
With the ball stolen from Sega, guess Electronic Arts has a “home court” advantage on the 360, so to speak. Apparently, while everyone was expecting Sega’s Virtua Tennis 3 to be the first game on the 360 to feature 1080p support, EA’s doing a fastbreak and scoring with some surprising news.
NBA Street Homecourt will be released on February 20, a clean month earlier than VT3‘s March 20 release. In the sense of being first to hit retail shelves, this will crown EA as the 360’s 1080p king. The game will support multiple resolutions, including 16:9 1080p at 30fps. Aside from visuals, this fourth title in the NBA Street series has a new control scheme and animation engine to get your 3-on-3 adrenaline rush pumping. You’d be able to play online, as well as create and customize your very own baller.
Just so you know, a PS3 version is also set to be released a few weeks later, on March 6.
