Don't bother, he saying the same thing when I tried to explain that to him.

It's like MK8 have a lot of things on background, like 3d people who is cheering. Or maybe dynamic rain, or day/night cycle with real-time lightning calculations. oh wait....

Gladiator was ninjablade? Wow, first time I see him argue without flaming. We should let him back into the community, he wasn't that bad, was he?

Yeah, I thought it was more or less obvious (I think there is maybe another alt still active though).

As for letting him back - I think that mods really need to decide either to let him back (at least with probation or something like that) or to start banning bit more some people around here who pretty much behave same as he used to...the way that is right now, it's sometimes coming off as a bit hypocritical.

I thought it was a bit weird for him to say 720p games are ugly when he loved Red Dead Redemption so much and considered it a beautiful game. If I'm not mistaken he even used ps3 screenshots of the game and it was actually sub 720p on ps3. 

Personnally I thought Red Dead Redemption was a beautiful game, one of my favorites of last gen.

So we went from not knowing the exact specifications and the game looking amazing to knowing the exact specifications and finding the game in fact looks terribly horrible.


Yes. Internet Logic at it's finest.

And?Are you going to be playing the game while its not moving? Inform me why still shots matter? the 60 fps help it look beautiful in motion lol

Yep. 60fps edge flickering. I can't wait.


Does the technicality of it matter? everyones seen the gameplay, they can decide for themselves if it looks beautiful. i think it does. as long as it looks beautiful idc what the stats and tech behind it are.

Edge flickering is not a stat, it's hurting my eyes because it's visible and everywhere. That's why God invented AA. But Nintendo had to decide yet again that they're above God.

Do you mean it actually hurts your eyes? Because I can't imagine how bad graphics can hurt ones eyes. Looking at the sun directly, that hurts, but I just think you're being a little overly dramatic.

Read his latest thread. The guy is on a whining  streak.

Sure, graphics with proper AA are always better. But he's making a big deal out of nothing here. People have praised the game's visuals left and right despite the absence of AA. He wouldn't make that big a deal if it wasn't for DF pointing out all the details for him.

I do think he is making a bigger deal then it is, but it's not for nothing, if your expecting 1080p with some AA and you get 720p with no AA thats a pretty huge downgrade.

Why would people expect a native Wii U game to be 1080p?

It's not like Nintendo announced that the game would have that resolution to begin with.

Eurogamer claimed it was 1080p and I guess too many people wanted to believe it and didn't stop to think it might be too good to be true. I doubt the opinions in this thread would have been so extreme (in both directions) if that claim hadn't been made in the first place. Just goes to show you shouldn't believe all you see on the internet.

And the game isn't even out yet...
