Countdown to Mario Kart!

[A Black Falcon]

Now to correct ABF, I haven't taken many programming classes. He confused that with game art classes. However, I have been making games from scratch with a friend of mine who does all of the programming, and I'm very well aware of how difficult it is. Well, our main problem right now is with getting the animation system and collision detection to work well, but we've had some AI headaches in the past and I'm sure we will again very soon.

Close enough. :D ... okay, so art, not programming. Anyway, you seem to know what you're talking about better than LL intimates.

And as for me, I haven't done much, but I did take some C++ classes...


I agree with everything OB1 says in the second part of that post. I could quote it and reply, but all I'd have to say is 'yup, you're right'...

Ah well, I will anyway. :)

I agree, it mystifies me why some of you are saying that its okay for Nintendo to not meet the same standard (in one category or another) as Naugty Dog, Sega, Rare, 3D0, Midway, etc... its totally bizarre. Don't you think Nintendo is a better developer than those companies are? If you really do you need to look at it objectively and see how badly Nintendo is being left behind...

As OB1 says, in so many categories Nintendo is falling behind... I could repeat the list, but there's no point. But you don't care that they aren't trying to live in the modern era? It's fine with you that Nintendo wishes it were perpetually the mid '90s?

I'm fully aware of the fact that they haven't been working on DD for seven years. But that's how long we've had to wait for a new Mario Kart game, and some of us expected at least the same level of care put into the single-player mode of the game as Rare did with DKR and Naughty Dog did with CTR. Is that really too much to ask for? It's not like EAD has been cranking out tons of games lately.

I was expecting a single player game that would live up to DKR, since that's the last standard in the genre I can think of. Nintendo didn't even manage that, and as a result I'm not that interested in getting the game anytime soon... without a real solid single player game, there is no point for me.

Yes, the multiplayer mode is crazy fun, but why aren't any of you holding Nintendo up to Rare and Naughty Dog's standards? Why do we have to settle for just a good multiplayer mode? You people are far, far too easy on Nintendo sometimes. I love them just as much as any of you do, but I'm not afraid to say it when they make a mistake. I say that because I love them so much. Otherwise I would have just quit being a Nintendo fan a long time ago.

Bah, Nintendo on the same standards as Naughty Dog, Rare, 3D0, Midway, Activision, et al? Madness!
