| Materia-Blade said: smash bros is 1080p 60fps because it's graphics are lower than the average wii u graphics. a game being side scrolling doesn't make anything easier. it's up to the developer on what to do, like any other game. |
As i said, it doesn't make it inherently easier, but it's how things usually go. A fighting games with "7/10 graphics" will be easier to run than a 3rd person shooter with similar assets (assuming the same degree of optimization is done on both). A big reason for the visual difference between titles like SSBU and MK8 is the 8 player mode. SSBU uses the same asset quality in 8 player as it does in 4 player, but has to account for a much larger potential area. If that mode didn't exist SSBU would be pretty close to MK8 (though likely still slightly under).
