NBA2K16
NBA2K16 wanted to be a story-driven game as much as a sports game. They got a famous storyteller to write and direct the storyline for it. We told fans to be the story. Because it’s the stories around the game that make it more than a just game.
TWITTER CASTING CALL
To get fans involved before the launch, we held the first every Twitter casting call. Spike leaked a scene from the script, 11,000 people tweeted their auditions, and one man with Denzel-level talent was cast to star in the gameplay trailer.
SOUNDTRACK BOOMBOXES
Since the soundtrack of the in-game story was probably better than the story itself, we hyped it big time, sending boomboxes and mixtapes to fans and influences.
LIVIN’ DA DREAM TRAILER
We made the gameplay trailer into a dramatic movie-style trailer. Be warned, it has mild to suggestive themes.
