It's not really fair to judge GT5/6 by their standard models ^^; I've never understood why they still use the standard models (other than to have amusingly large numbers of cars), but it's not like they don't have hundreds of premium cars too :p

It will be interesting to read DF's analysis of MK8. If they confirm it's 720p/60fps i'm going to be incredibly underwhelmed, but if it's 1080p/60fps then i can't complain (except about the AA. Fuck everything about that turd of a method ¬_¬).

They do indeed have some very good looking premium cars, I was simply pointing out that GT5/6 can also be held up to scrutiny in the graphics department; I don't agree that they slam dunk MK8.

Ah, gotcha. I agree with that at least, GT6 hardly "slam dunks" MK8. Excluding performance (which MK8 naturally wins in regardless to if it's 720p or 1080p), it's hard to say which has more demanding in-game assets. It's easy to say "x wins here, y wins there" but as an overall package it's rather difficult to compare them.

I'd love to see them make a PS4 port for GT6.

Considering the hardware, I imagine it'll be close to the limit.

The supposidly better hardware doesnt seem to be doing that much better though.


But it's still doing a lot better.

Mario Kart 8 does look good, very good.


No it really, really doesn't - the screenshots lack AA, very low poly count, poor shadows etc.

It will still be 1080p 60fps. More than most PS4 and XBone titles can claim.

It has no photosynthetic graphics so I highly doubt it can be considered a "demanding" game. So the answer is... no!


What are you talking about? There is plenty of flora in the game!

Pong can be 1080p 60fps. That just shows a complete lack of knowing how graphics works.

But Gran Tourismo 6 can't. Lol. (BTW, you were discussing it's graphical shortcomings I was discussing it's performance supremacy.)
