Because it's a game with awesome and highly demanding graphics, regardless of your tries of making it look bad.

Is this the part where you swear its confirmed 1080p. Is this the part where you call Slightly Mad incompetent for targetting 720p30 for Project CARS? Is this the proof that the Batmoble and Arkham Knight should be on the U. This is the part right? It looks good because of a reeally nice art style. Again it looks G.O.O.D because of really N.I.C.E A.R.T. Art that would look just as good on a tablet 2 years from now. No tessalation, compute and subsurface scattering required.

Im really hyped and looking forward to this game and dont ruin it by using it as ammo for your WiiU capability crusade.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

that's like saying wii could run any ps360 game. ps360 would implode AND explode before rendering a third of mario kart 8.

And less of this.

U can handle Final Fantasy XV with "minimal downgrades" and yet PS360 would "explode" rendering a "third" of MK8. I dont even.. .*facepalm*

I don't think it will make people think twice about the WiiU's power :P It looks good because of Nintendo artistic skill, graphically speaking it's pretty simplistic (the visuals themselves could be achieved on a PS3/360, though it's performance obviously wouldn't be as good as on the WiiU).

I do think Nintendo should invest in some better AA methods. Their art style would benefit a lot from smoother edges. Their current method worked okay-ish for SM3DW, but it's flaws become a lot more apparent with faster paced games like MK8.

No. You are wrong. The PS360 could run much more than a third of Mario Kart 8 without going supernova.

It does look stunning, i was nearly tempted to get a Wii U again, but friends pointed out just like the last 2 Mario games its most fun local co op, so probably just end up playing it on the office Wii U again.

But yeah Nintendo graphically have got this perfect id say.

to think that, you must have never played the online mode of a mario kart.


Well the only one that i know of thats online is the 3DS one, which no i havent played, i only got my 3DS at xmas and havent picked it up yet. 

 

Im sure i will pick a Wii U up the second Zelda drops, its certainly all it took for me to get a 3DS. And i do look forward to some Lunch time mario kart next month if we can convince the boss to pick it up. :)



Mario Kart has been online since DS lol!

Looks great but will sadly sell poorly - by that I mean Double Dash standards.

Won't boost HW as much as Titanfall or Infamous have and will be the true begining of the end of the Wii U.


No one commented on your post but I'll do. I completely agree with you. Everyone is getting too excited for this game but sales will be a dissapointment.

Uhm, so what!? Sales have nothing to do with whether or not one gets excited for a game, only the actual game itself!
