I have to. Even my nephew wants it. He's seen the anime.I just love Bladerunner like environments.
I get what you're saying, at first it wasn't even marked as an advert, but they fixed it.
Have to say, I didn't have a lot of interest in replaying open world games, but the improvements shown might get me engaged again.
Just watched a few bits of the Mario Kart Direct. Still not impressed. Personally I couldn't care less for more racers or the open world concept. Would have been sweet if the water segments featured actual wave physics as in WaveRace, but they're just streets with different texturing applied.
This might seem shallow, but I would have much preferred a more classic, concentrated Mario Kart experience that really showed off the visual capabilitie of the Switch2. The overall geometric detail of the world seems not much better than what was there in MK8 and texture work in general is very flat as well. In the snow stage the ice just looks blue, nothing in the way it is shaded gives it some kind of translucence or rich glitter you'd see in actual ice. I guess it's very Nintendo to prioritize gameplay over graphics though.
Also, DK dabs.
A classic mode would be nice.
Really liked what I saw in the Mario Kart World Direct. Game looks great and I’m very much looking forward to playing it. Dig the open world aspect.
By adding so much shit happening at once, it is showing off the capabilities of the Switch, and in a way that affects gameplay, too. I much prefer this direction, which looks stunning compared to 8 anyway. That being said, I have no interest in actually playing it.
After being called crazy over at EG when I vented my concerns, I've gone back and looked at the direct in more detail, and a video of MK8's Shy Guy Falls track. I still stand by what I said. Sure, framerate and resolution are much higher, there's a whole open world and character models are more detailed and better animated, ... but I still think that nothing I've seen of World so far looks better than Shy Guy Falls. That and some of the things in World look really rough, which is to be expected with it being a whole open world, but I still think it's a shame. I was hoping for more grahical flourishes like bounce light or convincing reflections, both of which I've seen nothing at all in the available footage.
