Really....now Mario Kart's status is being questioned by Crash Team and LBP? What? What? What? Makes no sense, you people need to play more then just Sony games.

"Kart Racing physics look awefully similar to Mario Kart."

whose physics look similar to arcade racing games that came before it...

Which ones exactly? Super Mario Kart was the first of it's kind, and I don't recal Mario Kart 64 looking like any arcade racing games before it.

 

"but they were included in a way most similar to Mario Kart 7. Sony easily could have made them weapons, or methods of cornering better/differently, but noo...they had to make it like MK7."

no... they are implemented in the same way they were in lbp which came before mk7... which must mean that mk copied them from lbp right?

"But it came out after Mario Kart Wii, which is where Air Tricks comes from."

 

mk wii was the first racing game with air tricks? are you really saying that?
What had them before Mario Kart Wii?

 

"What other game uses IP's from their franchise in a Smash em up title?"

all fighting games use the company's characters, for example, street fighter from capcom uses capcom characters such as ryu and chun li...

??? This is not the same, Street Fighter is a fighting game from Capcom with their own characters. Smash Bros and the upcoming Sony Smash, are a fighting game using different characters from different IP's which the company owns. None of the characters originate from Smash Bros/Sony Smash. Hence I used the term, Smash em up.

"everything I hear about this game seems like a Smash Bros immitation"

what have you heard? all i've heard is that its a fighting game with sony characters

There are pre-alpha screens of Sweet Tooth, and Kratos is also in it. It's going to be a Smash Bros compeditor where characters from different Sony IP's fight.

"Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii beat Mod Nation Racers to this"

neither had kart customisation ( as far as i know They did, both of them) but they allowed you to choose different karts for characters, which is obviously not the same thing...

Wait, MNR had customizable Karts? I thought LBP was first to this. MNR had customizable tracks, that I know.

"damnrip off from the video in the OP if you ask me"

so far you've said its a rip off because of the physics, lasos  and airtricks...

lasos were in lbp before mario kart, airtricks have been in racing games for years now and finally mario kart uses arcade style physics that resemble older arcade racing games...

if you ask me you don't have a point but its your opinion

Answered everything before, laso's are being used nearly identically to MK7's hand gliders, and what arcade style racers before Super Mario Kart does the franchise resemble? Top Gear is very different from SMK and it released afterwards, and the older NES style racers were very very different with sprite appearing and almost never having to stop.

 

"Mario Kart's status is being questioned by Crash Team and LBP? What? What? What? Makes no sense, you people need to play more then just Sony games."

personally i find this deeply offensive i have indeed played all of the mario karts besides mk7 and i do believe that modnation and ctr were more fun...

thats not because they were from sony but simply because they were more fun for me...

Sony games are always better then the larger compeditors on this website...I have never once heard anyone question Mario Kart being the best...except with maybe Diddy Kong Racing.

however if you disagree and mk is indeed better for you thats fucking awesome but it doesn't in anyway mean that i have to share your view Never said you do, all I started with was that this looked like a rip off on Mario Kart, then people started telling me MK is by far, not the best, and CTR was better (how that relates? I dunno, people are defensive of Sony IP's here by far too much).
