God damn I can’t wait for this game.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It looks awesome. I'm glad that the game will output to 4K as it looks like it cleans up well. I can't wait to see what this looks like on a big OLED screen.

 

[Kuranghi]

Feels like the first time in a long long time that a Nintendo console has had image quality that's on par with competitors at launch. Love it.

 

[Shaki12345]

Ok, I'll buy a Switch 2 then.

 

[Danjin44]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Monolith Soft help them on open world map…..my god! This looks gorgeous!

 

[BennyBlanco]

Looks clean as fuck. I wonder if they’re using DLSS?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Something is very wrong with the IQ.

 

[CrimsonTide]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Monolith Soft help them on open world map…..my god! This looks gorgeous!

Looks cool. Can't be denied. Not a massive Kart fan these days, but I am sure at SOME point I will play this.

 

[Crayon]

That's mario kart, alright.

 

[bender]

DK hitting us with a dab.

 

[KyoZz]

For reference here is MK8 Deluxe on my PC

 

[MaestroMike]

looks great can’t wait to play it I wonder if there is some sort of campaign to it

 

[RoadHazard]

Looks like a Switch game emulated at 4K on a PC. Which is not a bad thing, but other than the resolution there is little in the way of a visual leap from the 11 years old MK8.

 

[Woopah]

My main concern is the open world being empty and not having enough things to.do.

 

[Hookshot]

How long until someone figures out all of the tracks just from that world map? Also I noticed the crab enemy (Sidestepper) from the seashore tracks is a playable character in the trailer.

 

[damidu]

those ground textures look pretty awful. and these are supposed to be promo shots.

 

[VeganElduderino]

oh so beautiful! this will make me buy a damn Switch 2

 

[LordOcidax]

My OLED tv can’t wait

 

[Mr Moose]

Mario Kart in 4K (could be native, maybe not, looks a little soft in places).
If a game was going to make me buy one, it would be Mario Kart.

 

[Musashipan]

Is this a ps1 game? According to some people here, yes.

Looks amazing

 

[bender]

Any kind soul want to make me an icon out of the monkey kong dab?

 

[Diddy X]

I was initially let down by the images from the first trailer, but these new ones are absolutely stunning! I was never really drawn to the original Switch, but it seems here like Nintendo has finally nailed the image quality with their games. I'm definitely getting it, along with all the Zeldas and Marios I've missed out on before.

 

[March Climber]

It does look good. Looking forward to the digital foundry breakdowns.

 

[LordOcidax]

Is this a ps1 game? According to some people here, yes.

Looks amazing

According to some people here, there’s no difference between this and MK64

 

[coachmcguirk91]

My main concern is the open world being empty and not having enough things to.do.

Yeah, the terrain looked wide open and relatively flat. I don't think MK is the type of game where free roam will be enjoyable

I will say Mario Kart Knockout sounds like fun. It is like Battle Royale, where after each race players are eliminated if they finish poorly. My biggest complaint for online was having to go to the lobby after every single race

 

[Burger King]

the only reason I would buy a switch 2

system seller!

It was a nice upgrade graphically, especially when World is an open-world game.

 

[Sebastian1295]

It'll be a fun game but mario kart peaked for me with double dash personally. Loved the 2 rider system and the unique powerups exclusive to characters. I don't understand why they never brought that concept back.

 

[PonyStation4]

Mario Kart in 4K (could be native, maybe not, looks a little soft in places).
If a game was going to make me buy one, it would be Mario Kart.

It's probably 720p upscaled to 4K with DLSS. Crazy to suggest it could be native 4K when every PS5 game isn't

 

[Kikorin]

My hype level for this game is out of the roof.

 

[SidViscous]

It was a nice upgrade graphically, especially when World is an open-world game.

Wait a crab is a playable racer?

 

[eNT1TY]

Looks great, these are bullshots though...

 

[blacktout]

My main concern is the open world being empty and not having enough things to.do.

I get what you're saying, but the sheer amount of insane shit going on in the trailer, from rail-grinding to weird power-ups to hijacking a tractor trailer, alleviated that concern for me. It seems like they're committed to preserving the manic energy of traditional Mario Kart.

I was honestly absolutely blown away by the trailer, and I'm generally only sort of casually interested in Mario Kart. I definitely don't feel the nostalgia or excitement for it that I have for Zelda or 3D Mario, but I'm so sold on this.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Now turn it into an RPG like Forza into Fable.

 

[Danjin44]

Is this a ps1 game? According to some people here, yes.

Because there are people in GAF who absolutely fucking blind.

 

[Mr Moose]

It's probably 720p upscaled to 4K with DLSS. Crazy to suggest it could be native 4K when every PS5 game isn't

30 steps (I think) (30 / 30 * 2160) so it's 4k, just not sure how it gets there.

 

[Hookshot]

There's the Sidestepper crab I was on about. Guess the generic enemies won't have costumes. That one would be too small for anything really.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Monolith Soft help them on open world map…..my god! This looks gorgeous!

Seems pretty obvious to me. Given they worked on BotW and TotK it feels like a given. Especially with their if you can see it you can go there philosophy.

Makes me wonder about DK Bananza too if it's a big open field.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

It looks great. But $80? Come the fuck on. No way. I’ll never buy it. First MK game I’ve skipped since SNES because I was too young and had no money.

 

[Luipadre]

"barely looks better than a ps3 game" am i right lmao

Fucking gorgeous

 

[Fbh]

Looks good.
Though I wish they'd have gone with a more contrasty look. These all look a bit washed out to me, with muted colors and something that looks like a fine haze everywhere

 

[LoveCake]

I am hyped!

 

[Hero_Select]

This looks so damn good

 

[SHAKEZ]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Monolith Soft help them on open world map…..my god! This looks gorgeous!

It does look good, hopefully there's cool things to find outside the main tracks.

 

[Edder1]

Looks tiny bit better than last MK game that was originally released for Wii U

 

[Danjin44]

It does look good, hopefully there's cool things to find outside the main tracks.

My fun it’s open world just tracking on full speed without any race restrictions.

I’m also wondering if they gonna include 250cc from get go in Grand Prix.

 

[Fafalada]

Looks clean as fuck. I wonder if they’re using DLSS?

It's a bit odd.
The 'trailer' shots (everything that is non-gameplay angle) look cleaner than any normal TAA (even DLAA).
The gameplay shots on the other hand seem to have no edge treatment at all - it basically looks like 4k with 'no AA' (and also no reconstruction).

Not sure this is enough to draw any conclusions either way yet.

 

[Dampf]

Doesn't look great. Low poly and low res textures everywhere. It does look better than MK8 Deluxe but not by much.

This is porbably native 4K so that alone takes up most of the processing. They should've went with upscaled 4K and increased geometric fidelity and textures.

 

[Mozza]

But I thought people said this looked the same as Mario kart 8 deluxe, If you go of the compressed direct it still looked miles better. When you see these screens and the uncompressed trailer on Nintendo of America's YouTube site it's night and day.
