xQc has bizarre experience with NBA 2K19\u2019s face scanning feature Twitch streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel might be best known for his Overwatch skills, but he does like to play other games from time to time. He tested out NBA 2K19\u2018s face scanner during his July 2 broadcast, and the results were very bizarre. With what should be cutting-edge technology, NBA 2K19 players can scan their faces into the game using the \u2018My NBA 2K19\u2019 app on their smartphones. This allows people to play with or against their favorite teams, and is supposed to add an extra element of realism and immersion to the experience. Twitch streamer xQc found out the hard way that these things aren\u2019t always as clean-cut as they seem though, after he tried the technology for himself and got a very strange result. There was so much hope at first During his broadcast, the Canadian streamer decided to try out the face scanning app on his phone. The application boasts a 4.7 out of 5 star rating with over 41k reviews on the official iPhone App Store, so you\u2019d think his results would be great, right? Wrong. Upon taking a photo of his face, the process took around a minute to upload his likeness to the game itself, which isn\u2019t bad considering it has to render a person\u2019s entire face into a 3D model. Wait\u2026 what is that? When xQc\u2019s result first loaded itself into the game, it didn\u2019t look like him much. Though it did have a similar eye shape, and while the hairstyle was completely different, it\u2019s probably the closest asset the game has to the Canadian streamer\u2019s wild barnet, so we\u2019ll give it some credit there. Everything else was off though, with the nose being absolutely monstrous compared to his own. It\u2019s difficult to understand why the scanner chose those specific components when the end result looks nothing like him at all. But in a sudden twist of fate, the face changed. And what was once a head that barely resembled xQc at all quickly turned into an even worse nightmare. If the first face didn\u2019t look anything like xQc then the second one definitely doesn\u2019t. Just why it decided to change again after he already got his result is anyone\u2019s guess. Maybe it just loaded in too slow and was always supposed to look like that. We\u2019ll never know. The Canadian streamer found it just as hilarious as we do, and erupted into fits of laughter while putting his head in his hands upon seeing his apparent \u2018lookalike\u2019.

The face scanning app has provided players with accurate results before though, so it appears as though xQc just got unlucky with his upload. Hopefully in the future 2K Games will streamline it to make it as smooth as possible to avoid mishaps like these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
