I know I'm late to the party but >when you play mario

all this thread proves is your massive ignorance on how game graphics processing works

Mario Kart is effectively running 4 instances of the game simultaneously. That's actually very impressive and the reason no other game on the market does it.

>>381314280
>there's no reason why this shit should be at 30fps ever
well there is simple reason: switch is not capable of that performance rendering 4 separate screens at 60fps

You're one special kind of retard. There are plenty of games on the market that did it. No wonder you nintendo fans are the laughing stock of this shitty industry.

let's hear them

I agree that is inexcusable I noticed the same thing when I played it with 3 people.

Noticeably choppy in some maps, felt like a damn emulator.

>>381314843
But each version of the game is running at one quarter resolution so why should the frame rate halve? Rendering one scene at 1080p60 is the same as rendering four scenes at 540p60.

>>381316350
Resolution is not the only factor nigger

Ambient Occlusion is a trick where only things that are visible to the camera are rendered thus saving GPU cycles and memory. When you have four different cameras a lot more has to be rendered and thus retained in memory.

Also I did not experience any skips when playing 4-player mode. But my Switch is also still on 1.0 and never connected to the internet.

got em

>>381314843
... That makes no sense, considering the fact of how the screen works.

I mean, have you ever played a split-screen game?

Think about the resolution for a moment, if what you say is true, wouldn't each player actually be playing at 30FPS at a quarter of the 1920, or 720 resolution? In that case, it would actually just be running the game normally, which, again, does not match your logic.

>>381316507
Fuck I mean occlusion culling not ambient occlusion

I think most people are forgetting that we're talking about MARIO KART of all things. It is a game clearly designed for parties and four players in mind. But the game runs horribly with four players, like, it's impossible to play the game at anything but a steady 60fps.

It's no different than smash bros. dropping to 30fps if there are four players playing at once.

>>381316669
Idiots. Everyone.

>>381314976
Name a 4 player racer running at 1080p/60fps.

As far as I know, not even that upscaled Vita Wipeout game manages it on Pro

>>381316774
What? It's running 4 continuous streams at 540p and 30fps, none of the 4 streams are from the same viewpoint at the same time, so the game effectively renders each one individually. What are you on about?

>>381317019
Smash Bros. only renders one camera angle at a time. It's less costly to render one angle at 1080p 60 times a second than it is to render four completely different angles at 1/4 resolution 60 times a second.

>>381317664
I understand that, but I'm not focused on graphics with this debate, I'm talking about gameplay and game design. From a design perspective, MK8 and Smash are meant to be enjoyed with four players. But Nintendo failed to optimize MK8 because they focused too much on graphics. That's what makes this unacceptable.

>>381316350
pftahahahahah

not even close to the same thing dude, you can't just divide the pixels in 4 are you retarded?

>>381316774
another moron who thinks you just divide the resolution by four

guys, stop talking about things you clearly know nothing about. Why do you think next to no current-gen games do split-screen?

>>381314976
List them.

I'd like to know as well.

>>381314976
Tell me more

>>381314280
>this is fucking inexcusable
but your favourite mario kart 64 ran at silky smooth 20 fps in split screen

>>381314976
This guy is never coming back to the thread lol

>>381314280
There's a reason games don't do splitscreen coop anymore.
Muh graphics are too complex to handle for the hardware but nope we must pursue the resolution meme.
Let's go for 4K even though we have barely stable 30fps with it, who gives a shit about gamplay

>>381316669
Haha so true

So what game are you playing 4-player splitscreen sonybro?

>>381314280
fps really doesnt bother plus all my friends have their own switches, problem solved
