Obvious troll thread, created to produce clicks. And still guys you buying it (((
| bigtakilla said: I understand, but you are criticizing something without putting both games on an even playing field. I'm explaining the reasons why it has low rez/murky textures. It taxes a system to create and process those high rez textures and somewhere, something has to be sacrificed in order to get them. Like alchemy, there is a rule of equivalent exchange (10 points if you can name the anime, this is a gimme). In a racing sim, the graphics are the experience. What it comes down to is, if you are disappointed in MK8's graphics then you're missing the point of the game. |
If i wanted to do an overall comparison i'd have to include things like DC's huge detailed render distances, it's dynamic lighting cycles, it's animated crowds etc.
That's also all assuming MK8 is in-fact 1080p/60fps and not 720p/60fps (which is easier to run than DC's 1080p/30fps).
I didn't bring those things up because this isn't a direct comparison. DC is here purely as a point of reference as an example of top end AA, AF etc. Multiple people told me MK8's AA, textures etc are high level stuff, DC is here to prove their not. If they had said "MK8's AA and textures are great CONSIDERING x y z", then i'd agree. Without context however, i don't.
Side note: I assume the anime is FMA? :p

I did talk about the dynamic lighting. Draw distance I feel is about the same on both, and crowds, I haven't seen to many crowds in drive club. In fact I haven't seen any. Not that I'm saying they aren't there just I've not seen any.
And yes, it is FMA, lol.
Comparing still images is boring, lets compare footage.

It's only fair to factor in the framerate.

This isn't a MK8 vs DC thread. DC is there simply as a reference for high end AA, AF, textures and what not.
On a side note, if you really wanted to compare the two (for some bizarre reason), you'd be best off using more recent footage. That's a pretty old build of DC. It's improved an awful lot since then (especially the AA, which used to look almost as bad on the cars as MK8's edge detection AA >.<).
Not me, I always thought the game looked great! Performace wise it's great too, as 60fps the most important thing to me, hence 1080p/30fps
^ tbh i dont even know if the old mario karts have a lower framerate with 4 people eventho every console version since the n64 was mainly 4 player action for me

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I just think it is unfair to leave out framerate in a graphical comaprison.
| Zero999 said: "I've never had anything but praise for MK8's art direction. Despite it's lack of graphical fidelity" OMG, I can't believe people are still saying this. Mario kart 8 is absurdly graphic intensive, get over it. |
I don't think you'll find anyone else to actually agree with you on your opinions of MK8's graphical levels (i.e. looks better than or equal all PS4/XB1 games).
