NBA 2K19 Makes a Heck of a First Impression
NBA 2K19 is just around the corner (it releases on September 11), but in the meantime 2K was kind enough to bring a recent build of the sim basketball game to IGN. They brought the Xbox One X version, complete with 4K/60fps visuals. It makes one heck of a first impression, certainly in the graphics department, and in the gameplay as well.
Check out a few first-quarter gameplay clips below. First is LeBron and the Lakers doing some ice-cold shooting (my fault!) against Giannis and the Bucks. Second is the first quarter of action between the Warriors (watch out for a healthy-in-the-game DeMarcus Cousins doing damage in the post!) battling the Rockets. Finally, the 76ers come out shooting the ball well in a quarter of gameplay against Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. Watch for the new Takeover mechanic – shown when a player’s icon catches on fire – signifying the temporarily enhanced skills of that player during the hot streak. Enjoy!

Disney’s Streaming Service Is Called Disney Play
It looks like Disney’s upcoming streaming service has a name.
Per Variety, Disney CEO Bob Iger has referred to the service as Disney Play. However, it’s currently unclear if this will indeed be the final name for the video platform, which is launching sometime in 2019.
Disney will reportedly be losing an estimated $300 million in annual revenue when Disney Play launches next year, as the company will no longer be gaining revenue from Netflix for pay-TV rights.
Starting with 2019’s Captain Marvel, every Disney film released in theaters will only come to Disney Play instead of Netflix. Ant-Man and the Wasp will also now be the last Marvel movie to come to Netflix.
