He was being sarcastic I'm sure.

And even if the game looked better than Black Ops 2 on PS3 (which I'm pretty sure tons of people would disagree with) how would that be any kind of achievement? BO2 is aiming at 60fps on a last gen system, this game is struggling with 30.

Depends on how you see it. In motion MK8 looks great. But in reality its not that great. Its from digital foundry. And look at alising and other assets.

Anybody saying this game looks any better than an early 360 title is really trying too hard to make the game seem like less of a turd than it is. No, the game does not look good. No, it does not look better than any AAA title that came out more than two years into last gen when developers were still fumbling around with the hardware and HD game development in general.

Otherwise, this is clearly some misguided attempt at hyping up the last possible redeeming feature the game could possibly have for most people. I don't actually recommend listening to Itagaki though. He's made it clear that he has no idea what's been going on with this game. I'm starting to believe he's just the social media voice who hasn't taken part in even a little bit of the development process. He was obviously lost when the NA publishing debacle came up, which technically still isn't resolved on a public level. He claimed the game would look way different from E3 2014, and it doesn't. He says the gamepad is a bad controller to play the game, but to me that indicates he hasn't actually played the game on a Wii U. Ever. And finally, 30 FPS? lol. I've watched gameplay. Even with one enemy on the screen in single player, the framerate still dips noticeably.

This game doesn't need voice chat, only about 15 people will be consistently playing this game online.

No he is not being sarcastic

Is...is.....is that a legitimate screenshot from the final build? That...thing looks like it's taken right out of one of one of Jim Sterlings Squirty plays, when he rewiewss asset flip games...what the actual fuck? That 'car' is Ps2 level graphics at best.

Honestly the game doesn't look that bad and gameplay seems fun. I went into a video expecting a mess of a game and while it does have some major bugs it doesn't look like it's the worst game ever made.

Graphics definitely don't look like a PS2 game as some mentioned on other threads ( The image posted above is the low graphical point of the game but that's about it ) I guess it's on par with early 360 games like 2006 releases.

30FPS and looking like an early 360 game.
That's not utilizing full power.

this shot is what it looks like when the player is using the scope -  Although the game does not look good- this shot does not represent what you see normallt in the game

you have to factor in the boob-physics

they are so sophisticated and taxing that they can't even show female chars :P
