Hockey fans rejoice, because Take-Two's 2K Sports has recently spilled a few details on NHL 2K8, their sports hockey title to come out September 2007 as originally planned by the company. While much of the other details may be revealed at the upcoming E3 Media & Business Summit, 2K Sports was kind enough to whet hockey gamer appetites for the time being.

And as the title faces off against EA Sports' NHL 08, NHL 2K8 will be utilizing a proprietary NHL Signature Style, allowing 2K Sports to model and simulate players just as they are in real games. The company has also announced that they will be modeling branded equipment and skates to complement the realism added.

NHL 2K8 has been announced to be heading toward the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PS2 and is currently being developed by Visual Concepts under the 2K Sports label. Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, had this to say at the conclusion of the announcement:

Building on the success of NHL 2K7, we have developed a title that is a truly accurate portrayal of the game and how it is meant to be seen and played. NHL 2K8 represents the complete next generation gaming experience and showcases the talent and experience of the development team. NHL 2K8 is an incredibly realistic hockey simulation and we are proud to create such an exciting video game.

Buggy POS

I'll pass on this game because 2k7 was a buggy POS that was never patched, and it had the same problems on XBox 360, PS2 and PS3. Forget it 2K, you're not getting my money again. Bastards.

Hockey is good sport, the funniest sport for me is baseball :))). How gay is that :)? Hope new hockey will rock, 2k7 have some bugs, and sometimes was to easy to score.

Xman, you're a *****ing retard

Hockey is an awesome sport. It's better than watching people stand still until the ball gets hit by a *****ing bat. And it's better than watching a sport replicate what pausing and resuming looks like in real life (football).
