Creator of “Pokemon Go’ hopes to capture same magic with its first sports video game
“Sports are a huge part of people’s lives and a huge part of pop culture,” said John Hanke, founder & CEO of Niantic, in a news release. “Our version of an NBA basketball game starts with exciting one-on-one gameplay and expands from there to include the major elements of basketball culture, including music, fashion, sneakers and more, all of which are integrated into real world locations.”
Interestingly enough, the NBA players are almost like Pokemon. That’s not a joke. The pro athletes pop up throughout the world, and by beating them at a competition, they have an opportunity to earn experience points, cred and other resources. They may also recruit them, so that they can be used in other competitions.
“NBA All-World” is played outside and that’s where players have an opportunity to meet and recruit different NBA players to their squad.
