| Conegamer said: Apologies; I didn't realize that Mario Kart was only accessible for children. Guess that makes me and millions of others children for wanting to play (what appears) to be an excellent title.
OT: I don't think it's fair to compare a realistic game to a cartoony one; obviously the realistic one will loo better (initially) but it doesn't mean you can downplay the other title. Super Mario Galaxy and Wind Waker are good examples of this. |
Like i said to someone else, it's not a genuine comparison. I'm just using DC and MK8 as points of reference for comparison of the universal graphical aspects of almost all 3D games, such as the polygon counts, textures, AA, AF etc. For example I wouldn't criticize MK8 for not having realistic road textures, but i would criticize it for them being low rez/murky.
As an overall package i do find MK8 a lot more pleasing on the eyes than DC, but this was a comparison of the technical side of things. The thread was primarily about the willful ignorance of some Nintendo fans here, which wasn't much of an issue during the 7th gen.
In the 7th gen Nintendo had to rely on art direction to make their games look great. When the WiiU was released i was exited to see how good a game could look with a combination of Nintendo's artistic skill and high end console graphics. It's a hope that started with 3D Mario then moved to MK8 and now lays in the hands of Zelda >.<
Regardless to my ranting, MK8 itself will no doubt be great ^^
