the ps3 had 2 racers that did 1080p/60fps, why would'nt Mario kart 8 be 1080p on a 8th gen console, i always thought that it could be 1080p.

t


None at real 1080p(1440x1080p max resolution on GT6 thanks to graphical compromises when compared to GT5 and dynamic resolution on Wipeout HD), no steady 60FPS and Wipeout HD certainly isn't a looker, much simpler game when compared to Mario Kart 8 or GT5/6.

So? Why such insecurity? That wasn't really relevent to the point made.


My post wasn't relevant? Sure, I guess if the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man runs at 1080p on PS3 too then certainly Mario Kart 8 could run at 1080p on Wii U.

GT5 also render's at 1440x1080p with solid AA. lets not forget the the wiiu should be more powerful then the ps3, even if the gpu is only slightly more powerful it has huge advantages with edram and ram. wiiu really needs a game thats puts it above 360/ps3 graphics, and mario kart at 1080p with AA would have been a great show case title, as it stands now you can't even post an impressive gameplay pic of mario kart 8.


Actually, GT5 is 1280x1080: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-gran-turismo-5-tech-analysis . It has some AA, though, even if it's the basic Quincux approach, nothing compared to the 4xMSAA when running at 720p. Agreed that MK8 at 1080p and AA would be great, but you're expecting too much of the hardware, Wii U is more powerful than PS3 but not by a huge margin, compared to other kart racing games on PS3 Mario Kart 8 just runs and looks a lot better and that's the kind of comparsion that should be made.
