Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Eurogamer confirms: Mario Kart 8 is 1080p/60FPS (even in 2-player)

pikashoe on 07 May 2014

some people are getting over defensive here, they are games and consoles calm the fuck down and continue enjoying what you enjoy and stop giving a fuck about whether other people like it. I thought people on this site were past having such petty arguments over things that no really cares about, unless it helps them shove there opinions down other peoples throats. In particular you dialgamarine you are blatantly being a TROLL, coming onto a thread for a game that you obviously have no interest in trying to piss people off, I know that some people are going overboard with praising the visuals but that is still no excuse for your behaviour. also navynut shutup your embarrassing yourself by trying to downplay the ps4 power compared to the wiiu. Both of you are being insufferable FANBOYS.

As stated before in this thread; this is not a confirmation of 1080p.

Pretty much all Wii U games display in 1080p, because the console upscales them. Mario 3D World was claimed to be 1080p, only it wasn't. It was 720p upscaled to 1080p by the Wii U. The article linked to in the OP doesn't make any mention of the game being NATIVE 1080p.

I'll believe it when I see a tested confirmation of native 1080p. So far all signs point to it being 720p/60fps (which is excellent, by the way).

I completely agree, the weight of evidence is strongly in favour of 720p. I have a strange suspicion though that some of those who are in this thread saying that 1080p 60fps is no great achievement for cartoon graphics will be in the inevitable Digital Foundry thread a couple of weeks from now, proclaiming that they knew there was no way the Wii U could do 1080p on anything other than 2D games and ports.

 The real question is, do people really believe MK8 is graphical perfection and better looking than games like TLoU and inFamous?


Your just butthurt because the mighty PS4 has a hard time doing what the WiiU is doing which is 1080p with 60fps lol. Can't wait for MK8.

Yes because MK8 at 1080p/60fps is such an overwhelming achievement ^^; How could the PS4 possibly dream of running a game made for the WiiU ,with it's unsurpassed 0.35tflops/s and 2GB of godly DDR3 RAM!

Really though, judging a game by it's resolution/frame rate is pretty silly.

Killzone:Shadow Fall:

Knack:

Both Knack and Killzone are running at 1080p/30 - 40fps, yet no one in their right mind would say they look equal :P hence, it's a bad point of reference.

Of course, we aren't even 100% sure MK8 is 1080p/60fps yet.

lol you guys are funny, I have both, love the WiiU more than the PS4 I was just joking I know the PS4 has better graphics than the WiiU. Killzone is stunning. Can't wait for MK8 it looks amazing.

 For a console that came out 6 years after the other, the difference is very small in terms of performance and overall detail. Problem is the games are almost completely different, so a valid comparison is kindof impossible.


It's ok not like Nintendo, but do you really believe this?

 The real question is, do people really believe MK8 is graphical perfection and better looking than games like TLoU and inFamous?

there is only ONE person that believes this, but that's not the question.

It's mainly just Zero who says that. He claims that MK8 is not only on the same graphical level as Driveclub, but isn't yet maxing the WiiU out. So, based on the specs of both systems, we can assume he believes that PS4 games are only using a fraction of the PS4's power.

To put that into context, with that much extra power you could run Driveclub at 2160p/60fps and still have plenty left over. Zero sure has high hopes for the PS4 :P

They are not pushing graphics? First people laughed about WiiU even not capable to do PS360-graphics, now MK8 is shown which is in no way possible on PS360 and then people say they are not pushing graphics at all...

wat

There are 4-5 year old PS3 games that are more impressive than MK8. Realism will almost always beat cartoon


From the looks, not from the technical achievement. Older games looking better to you? Nice, thanks for your opinion. Technically? No.


No, I mean both technically and in graphical fidelity. MK8 is in no way technically impressive, especially since it runs on a next gen hardware

Are them games running in 1080P@60fps? hell the is nothing on 360 or ps3 that comes close to what MK8 is doing -_- .


Yes, because it takes a NASA supercomputer to run a graphical beast that is Mario Kart, with its cartooney textures, bad AA and incredibly simple geometry at 1080p/60fps.

GT5 and 6 are technically way more demaning games than Mario Kart (and yes they are both at 1080p/60fps while pushing realism), which is to be expected since one is a cartooney game and one is a racing sim, but there are actually people out there that think MK8 is technically more impressive...


There is a difference between 1280x1080 and 1920x1080 while both is 1080p... Not sure if MK8 is 1920x1080 but your points are off (cartoony textures is nothing bad or less technical demanding).

Its not even confirmed if MK8 is 1080p and I didnt say cartoony textures are bad, but they are certanly a lot less demanding than realistic textures

It looks good artistically...but...not...technically :).... is what most Sony fanboys would say. I think this is a way better achievement than Driveclub 1080p/30fps. All racers are supposed to be 60fps and this game still looks gorgeous.

 

Moderated - Kresnik.

Why you got moderated for this i dont understand

Never call peeps fanboys.  Even if its being general.


Especially don't generalize

I am not generalizing. These posts were made before I got banned.

technically nothing special. But artstyle is great. Looks awesome.

 

HoloDust on 05 April 2014

Artistically - fantastic, marvelous, exhilarating

Technically - nothing really THAT special to write the home about...just deal with it. ;)

 

GProgrammer on 05 April 2014

I love the art style

Technically its not that good
