"Nintendo is losing their identity"
former PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida shares damning Switch 2 verdict "I was personally a bit disappointed."eurogamer.net SupremeAC
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.
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.

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.
