You know, I see people talking about power and art style but I've yet seen a post on praising the game design which is the root of why it looks awesome. You guys are totally missing the point lol. If all I cared about was graphics then I would never touch consoles, and if you guys care so much, you all best be PC gamers with a good rig as well, cause I swear to fucking god.... there is way too much shit talking here.


yeah the thing is the Thread is called "Mario Kat 8 Grafix" so talk about Game Design, GamePlay and stuff, will be off-topic. nice sentiment tho.

is like the big bang theory, when sheldon neeede to pick a ps4 or xbox one, they discussed about 8 gigs of gddr5 vs 8 gigs of dd3 ram, and then about the eSRAM and that stuff, but never mentioned any freaking game

Game design has everything to do with graphics, you are talking more about game mechanics, the graphic style was a part of a bigger game design they want to tailor this game with so things all fit together while considering the power of the Wii U hardware.

Nintendo's game design continues to be way beyond other first party studios about 95% of the time, and that's why Mario Kart games are always fun as shit and fun to look at no matter the iteration.

We also need to stop talking about RAM, it's first of all, fucking ridiculous to compare the PS3 or 360 memory architecture to the Wii U because the Wii U has a newer design so real world performance when done right would be faster and more avaliable than either of those platforms by far.

Also, people saying shit like this game can run on the PS3 or 360(not you,) guess what, PS4 and X1 games can also run on the PS3 or 360, but at what FPS? You can always achieve something in software rendering if hardware processing is not there, at like .5 FPS or less, what the fuck is the point of saying this game can run on older consoles is beyond me. This game does 60FPS with split screen mode and 30FPS with 4 player split screen mode, what that means is that if all they cared about was graphics without the performance at 720P 30FPS being a SP only game, they could have bumped up the graphics too, but guess what? GAME DESIGN! Durrr!
