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

Damn... This is good news.



Around the Network

Normally I wouldn't believe this and assume they meant '1080p upscaled' but Eurogamer are a little more reliable.



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.



I don't think its native 1080, eurogamer did not do their digital foundry (or) anything in the article they just mentioned 1080p 60FPS in regular way for their demo instead of stressing its running natively in their analysis. So far its been confirmed 720p/60FPS and even nintendo did not confirm properly (they would have said if its 1080p because this will give them huge bonus in marketing).



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

1080p will not give a big plus for a marketing amongst normal people. And the technogeeks will say that modnationracer is still better and go continue playing their CODs.

Good to aim for 60fps even for two players. 60fps is important to increase the feel of the gameplay even in fun racers and even if most on VGC may think that 30fps would be better to increase the look of the game.



Oh yeah! That's awesome!



So it's the second next-gen racing game achieving 1080p60, impressive!

Eh...I doubt many "technogeeks" play CoD...certainly not for the tech at least.

Well, for example, COD is the highest selling PS4 game. And don't tell me that new consoles is bought by casuals in big amounts during its first year. 

Also on the article, I don't see 1080p confirmed there. And also, even if it will be 720p with AA and 60 fps - it will be good enough until its still a funny arcade racer with a Nintendo quality.

Wii U considered underpowered to PS4/Xbox one which are stil failing to do 1080/60FPS in many games. If they market this as 1080/60FPS game then lots of consumers get the impression of Wii U having good hardware for 1080p gaming as next gen hardware atleast.
