dazzybee Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 God that looks painfully slow. Even for 100cc... There seemed to be lots of options there for multiplayer, but nothing to suggest deeper item customisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Still no mention of voicechat even at this late stage, is it yay or nay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's missing from the features list on the eShop, so I'm guessing nay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) It somewhat saddens me that this borrows F-Zero's anti-gravity and track design elements that would otherwise feel at home in that series such as 90 degree hairpins and inverted sections. It just feels like the two series have been merged and F-Zero has been phased out. The hang gliders, bikes and underwater sections have been retained from previous Mario Karts, there's nothing to say anti-gravity sections aren't here to stay in the series too. They say they won't do a new F-Zero because they can't think of the next 'gimmick', well is this the gimmick Mario Kart needed? It's Mario Kart... would anyone really have said anything if Karts had driven sideways/upside-down on tracks normally. So excited for this game, but I just don't understand what's happening with F-Zero as a series. Edited April 28, 2014 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think it's a great addition to Mario kart, but I understand the concerns. I woud love a new fzero. But if they gave us a HD online remake of GX I'd be more than happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Oh I think it's a fun addition for Mario Kart too!... just one that seems to weaken F-Zero even more. Now F-Zero is 'more anti-gravity' within Nintendo and one that didn't have the pulling power of Mario Kart to begin with. But yeah, it is what it is, this will be great and F-Zero is just kind of lost/not even close to being a priority. I'd take and love that GX HD online remake too! Or an HD online remake of F-Zero X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 God that looks painfully slow. Even for 100cc...Looks about right to me. We're obviously not seeing it at 60fps either (far from it with that vid ) but yeah, don't be expecting MK8 to be any slower/faster than previous games in the series. There seemed to be lots of options there for multiplayer, but nothing to suggest deeper item customisation.It's unlikely that's the final build of the game. We're probably not going to be seeing any of that kind of stuff until just before the game gets released, or if Nintendo do a MK8 Direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. The fact they were AWFUL at the game probably didn't help I have such a busy month ahead of me now. Perfect. It calms down a few days before this comes out!

RedShell Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 The fact they were AWFUL at the game probably didn't help Indeed. Whenever I see people playing MK like that now, I'm always reminded of this: It never fails to amuse me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Do we know if they'll have names above racers when playing online like MKDS and Wii? That was one thing I really disliked about 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's missing from the features list on the eShop, so I'm guessing nay. Didn't expect anything else to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Really disappointed by the speed of the racing in that video...100cc was it? Really hope 150cc is a step up because MK:Wii and MK7 were too slow for me..I'd struggle to stay interested, particularly on the really wide tracks where there is no sense of speed. Hopefully 150cc will feel fast, tight and responsive...hoping to see more footage soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It could just be the phrase chat in lobbies like MK Wii and 7. Could be but it would be bizzare just to mention it due to a few select phrases that you could pick from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Sports Club lists: Supports Internet Play Online Multiplayer Online Multiplayer Leaderboards Miiverse Call of Duty Ghosts lists nothing, just that it supports online Need for Speed: Most Wanted U lists Supports Internet Play Online Multiplayer Leaderboards Miiverse Game Chat Monster Hunter 3 also lists it as Game Chat.

Given how it's Nintendo we're talking about, I'd never feel ridiculous doubting they'd have full-fledged voice chat in a game. Never at all.
