TLOU shots you use are either bullshots or taken from ingame CG/Cinematics that runs on a aeperate engine like in Yakuza and Devil May Cry games and not in actual ingame enviroment and likely those GOW shots are also from cg/cinematics... I played both of these games at my friends birthday... TLOU and GOW might look “realistic“ but Mario Kart 8 characters have better quality textures(higher resolution/more detailed and little to no compression artifacts) also I am sure that characters in Mario Kart 8 exceed in polygon count by a good margin when you see how well rounded are those models. A nearly perfectly round ball contains 968 polygons(22*22=484*2=968) and I counted that in my head and Mario in Mario Kart 8 has most likely 25000-30000 polygons without the kart. With kart it would add another 10000-15000 or more depending on model being used... Do not forget that mustaches and hair of Mario are animated too so it is more demanding than most characters on HD twins.


LMAO, what a load of shit. TLoU and GOW3 dont have CGI, all ''cinematics'' are done in in-game engine. I'd post a gif of Ellie's cutscene and in-game face to show the comparsson but I cant find it.

And how the fuck is Mario's character more detailed??? Its a cartooney generic 3D model only with sub-HD textures (welcome to 2006), its basically a Wii model mario only with higher resoultion: There is no impressive 3D detail to be found in any cartonney game.

As for that polygon count, if you cant support that with some actuall evidence and data, its completly useless. ''I counted in my head'' is a laughable source in these forums, regardless where they come from.  We dont even have the resolution for the game figured out (cuz, you know, this is Nintendo) but you already figured out the specific polygon count for characters with and without karts?

I love how people keep bring up sonic racing which is also on the wiiu and has the lowest resolution on the wiiu, so does that mean the wiiu can't do better then sonic racing, we have games on ps3 and 360 that look much better then mario kart8 and sonic racing.
