Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Koopas are 33.3% of the roster. Bowser, Koopa Troopa, Lakitu, and the Koopalings make 10/30.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Please just tell me that the game doesn't freaking drop to 30 fps with 3 or 4 players simultaneously. Please.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

It does, but considering the amount of visual detail that stays on screen and it also keeps a smooth 60fps in two player online (where Wii would drop to like 15fps) I think it's passable and if you're playing with 2 or 3 other people you'll barely notice it most of the time.

Wii dropped to 15 fps? I'm pretty sure I would notice if it went that low.

Only when playing two player online, I haven't checked if the number of other players affects this but I think 15 is the lowest it would go.

It drops to 30 fps. I don't care about frame rate drops.

Well, this is disappointing -__- I thought the Wii U was more powerful than that.

Yeah, but I did play two-player online and I would have noticed if it had as bad fps as my minecraft does, which is almost unplayable because of it.

I don't understand why that is a problem? Like, I've seen videos and stuff with 4 player driving, and you honestly don't even recongnize it.

A lot of games run at 30 fps anyways, so I don't know why you give a crap just because when there are more than 2 players, it automatically makes the Wii U "Less powerful than it is". The Wii U is still a very powerful machine, especially compared to it's previous generations of consoles.

I'm more bothered about the aliasing, something I really couldn't notice in trailers so far. Meh, it's probably an effect of upscaling it to full hd.

You've got to be kidding me.

Also, if you've read the article linked above, it still outputs in 60fps in 3-4 player mode. Top and bottom frames alternate, and the HUD always updates in 60fps.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I honestly don't care about the FPS as long as it's playable.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I did look at some of the videos from the read-only community, and it seems that you need to have a YouTube account to add videos onto your posts. I don't have a YouTube account, so I might be out of luck.

There is the possibility that you can share your video's without YouTube, you just need the game itself to see it.

We won't really know for sure until Japan gets its hands on the game this Thursday. We have to wait until Friday to know for ourselves.

That's really like saying, "I don't care about ----ty controls as long as the game is playable". Having an optimal FPS is mandatory to enjoying a game.

Changes are I get it at Thursday too, I've had it before that a pre-ordered game came a day early at mine.

Exactly this. Thank you.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Lately I've gotten word that to get a 3-star rank now, you simply have to finish 1st in every GP race. Various users have been talking trash about this dilemma, but the thing is, you need to take into account the CPU racers, who are typically harder to beat on the 150cc and Mirror Mode.

So what if it's easier to get a 3-star rank. That doesn't change the fact that you still have to contend with all the hazards that the CPUs will send your way.
