Husker du NBA Street fra midten af 2000'erne? Play by Play Studios har annonceret The Run: Got Next til PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S og PC og det lander i løbet af 2025.
Play by Play Studios består af flere tidligere Electronic Arts ansatte, blandt andet tidligere general manager Scott Probst og creative director Mike Young - og The Run: Got Next er allerede blevet mærket som den spirituelle efterfølger til NBA Street.
The Run: Got Next beskrives af udviklerne som et "character-driven, full court 3v3 basketspil, der hylder attituden, stilen og færdighederne i streetbasket-kulturen".
There was a lot of us that worked on NBA Street that always wanted to bring it back. I think it is difficult for a company that has a game like a Madden or an NBA Live that is so big. If you're putting all your resources into that, I think it was challenging to think about a secondary game.
- Mike Young, creative director
The Run: Got Next er en modpol til mange af de andre sportsspil på markedet i dag. På Play by Play Studio's website skriver Scott Probst:
As the years have gone by the gaming industry has grown exponentially, and in many cases the business has taken precedence over the fun of a particular experience - that sucks," he said.
I've found this myself in many sports games today where I feel like I have to grind hundreds of hours to be good, I have to pay hundreds of dollars (on top of the $70 I already spent for the game itself) to have an ok time, and I have to go out on random quests to do things that don't really have anything to do with the fun of the game or the sport.
The Run: Got Next kommer til PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S og PC i løbet af 2025.
