I didn't see anyone complaining about the game looking bad in motion until DF reported the technical bit. Now it's time for everyone to come out of the woodworks to remind us that 720p with no AA looks awful, because that's what they've been trained to believe. I guess some people can't rely on their own senses to determine whether or not something looks good.

go look at the direct feed pics from DF article, it really does look awful, and has always been a huge complaint in the 360/ps3 generation.

Is Mario Kart some kind of visual novel now? We have seen tons of direct feed gameplay, and the consensus all around is that the game looks fantastic. Use your own senses to look at the game. Then apply the technical side. You'll find you are more impressed with the craftsmanship. Imagine looking at two visually identical games: one is 1080p with AA, the other is 480p with none. Which is the more impressive feat?

Here we are faced with a game that many think looks as good as or better than anything on PS3/360, without the need for AA. Why shouldn't I consider that impressive?
