Support NeoGAF

[speculawyer]

Yeah... there was not any gameplay their. Until someone isn't playing the game with a controller in hand, its not gameplay IMO. But still getting the game either way!

Yeah, it is kinda annoying to see them calling it game play when so much of it is celebrations, angles that are clearly not game play angles, cut scenes, etc.

Show me something with the little player indicator pyramids over their heads and I might believe it.

 

[Jonogunn]

The textured look like NHL 07

 

[lamaroo]

Damn classless Subban, needs to play more like Boston Bruin, and all-around respected hockey player Brad Marchand.

 

[Steamboatgeorge]

WILL WORK FOR LIVE GAMEPLAY VIDEO!

You're at E3? Or what?

 

[maneil99]

Good news is there should be a demo, nearly every NHL game has had one.

 

[Maybesew]

I haven't played a hockey game since NHL 95 on sega genesis, is there a big hockey community on GAF? Any leagues or anything in the community forum? I've really been itching to play a hockey game for a while.

Not sure, but I'd do this on XB1.

 

[Cudder]

We've gotta get actual gameplay at some point, right?

edit:

Gamespot has a slot with NHL 15 on day 3 of their livestream.

 

[professor_t]

Yeah, we really need gameplay. In the meantime, Operation Sports has a pretty detailed write up:

Best article yet! I like the four refs! I'll yell at them so much when they block my pass/shot lol

I now know we won't see live gameplay for another few months a little concerning but I have faith!

 

[Cudder]

NHL 15 is up next on Playstation's E3 livecast. Hoping for gameplay and not just talk about the trailer!

e3.playstation.com

 

[Cudder]

NHL 15 just went live on the E3 Livecast.

Edit: Doesn't look like gameplay other than the trailer, goddamnit.

 

[Nyx]

Wow this looks great, last NHL game I played was 2007, might pick this up eventually!

 

[Nivert]

Rammer talking up the commentary and presentation sounded great

 

[Cudder]

Here is some short, really shitty off screen footage of the game.

 

[ryan299]

Does anybody else think that the players they've shown, for the most part, look nothing like their real life counter part? In the video above Lundqvist looks nothing like he does in real life.

Subban looks incredibly uncanny too

[Hockeymac18]

Looks pretty awesome. And Kane...can't believe I played against that kid when we were younger. Crazy to see him in a video game now.

One of my favorite Gifs ever.

Can't say I am too impressed, obviously there is a change in the camera angle height (its much more dynamic), but players look weird (very wide torsos). Has the feels of a 2k NHL game.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Skating doesnt look that good either, but its difficult to comment on that mechanic without playing it myself.

 

[Parch]

Looks pretty damn good for a hype trailer.

I actually liked the EA conference. Sports games and Bioware is what I care about most.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Ill buy it for the lack of NHL on next gen, we shall all play together.

So many recycled animations from last year.. And wtf at the jerseys being super loose and flowing around in the fight like it's the NBA

 

[nikos]

The wide models, flowing jerseys and somewhat janky animations have me a bit worried, but I'm sure (hoping) they'll iron everything out by launch.

 

[InsertNameHere]

As someone who has loved almost every NHL game, i'll probably pick this up.

 

[Steamboatgeorge]

As a die hard nhl player I'm a bit underwhelmed.

 

[Zombie James]

I know the game's not finished, but that didn't look good at all. And I just pre-ordered the damn thing :/

 

[mohsinkhan]

I can tell right now looking at that fight, they will revamp the engine for NHL 16.

 

[Milly79]

I know I'll be picking it up, but damn if it doesn't look like it plays like last-gen. I mean they skipped the first entry to create this, how have they not changed the gameplay any?

I really thought this was going to be a huge overhaul. *sigh* Doesn't appear to be but I get it every year and play the shit out of it.

EASHL is all I care about.

I agree, thankfully I haven't purchased nhl since nhl 10 so I'm good. I played the nhl 14 demo over the last few days and nothing has changed. Few tweaks here and there but no distinct difference. Very underwhelming but I'll still pick up 15 because I need Dat hockey fix.

 

[MilesTeg]

You can see the resolution bump even from an off screen vid. The crowd looks better. Legs look different while skating. Other than that it looks like NHL 14.

Main improvements I want are all fundamental though. Defensive AI needs a lot of work. The defensemen just skate backwards in 14, letting the puck carrier go wherever he wants. And the goalie always gets beat top shelf on the same damn shots regardless of angle. Fix that stuff and we're good.

That's like every year since '09. I don't think it'll ever be fixed, honestly.

60 FPS!!

OS has a q and a up. Notice how rammer dodged the resolution question?


Be prepared for some 900p jank.
