especially for people who are playing with US gamers from outside the US.. is there any lag? and how bad is it?


I'll be getting this game with AC after my exams on 12th of DEC .. still I know I'm gonna kick your asses


so... lag?

 

[AniHawk]

Apparently it's been really bad today.

By the time you get it nobody will play it anymore.

That is how the online world goes sans Halo 2.

 

[Teddman]

No lag I could notice.

The only lag is when you're searching for opponents, with the server woes today it can take five minutes or longer.

 

[cvxfreak]

Lag is virtually non-existant.

But getting disconnected is.

 

[civilstrife]

The game has a pretty clever way of hiding lag, ahd even when it happens, it rarely affects gameplay.

I have no idea where Johnny Nightrain is but I played him in a few races and it was fine for me. No different to playing other people in Australia.

 

[demi]

No lag yet!

Oh wait, that's just single player

 

[SuperPac]

I had two really laggy games tonight. Opponent was jumping all over the track. The rest of the evening it's been nothing but error codes and getting disconnected from WFC. :'(

What's that?

 

[TheDuce22]

Its a racer so lag isnt really a big issue. The games i played were laggy (opponent bouncing around) but it didnt effect anything.

 

[Spencerr]

In all the games I've played I haven't noticed any lag at all.

this is Mario Kart

 

[civilstrife]

Whereby lag in most games looks like a player disappearing and reappearing in another spot,
Mario Kart corrects the player's position by actually steering the kart sharply in the proper direction. In this way, its sometimes tough to distinguish a player's lag from a really fast turn.

I'm not sure if that was clear or not.

so could the opponenet be in fron of you, but he's actually not? what if you fired an item on him/her

I'm with your brother but hopefully for not much longer. At least we'll race with the unlockable characters.

probably.

I think what it does is minimize the appearance of lag, but obviously not the lag itself. So yes, something like that can and does happen.

But seriously though, there's really very little lag. Especially if you play regional games.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I played a few rounds around 1:00 PM today, before the system got bombarded and didn't notice any lag at all. No disconnects either. Some prick kept picking Yoshi Falls though.

 

[Bebpo]

There was definitely lag in the 4 player matches but since the majority of items are homing it doesn't effect too much. I mean if you're aiming a green turtle shell or trying to drop a banana it might effect you but otherwise...

 

[Kai]

ive played about 30 online races.... (4 each for a match)... only had a lag spike in 1 of them....

 

[ThunderEmperor]

played about 10 races with my buddie no lag what soever but connecting was a bitcj

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

58-12 and i have yet to experience a match with lag..
No wait i take that back.. i went agst a guy in japan and he was mr hoppy all over.. but lost and it didnt affect me much.

 

[Papi]

I've experienced a bit when playing the Yanks. I'm in Australia.
4-player is just as good as 2-player.

 

[rod]

no lag for me, in aus. playing worldwide or not. no d/c either

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

That's makig me want to order the game now ...

 

[callous]

Can you play online with players from the US/JP/EU regardless of which version you get, or is it (stupidly) regionally closed?

no region closing

 

[callous]

Awesome, thanks.

Wonder if Nintendo's frantically getting more servers up, ala an MMO launch?

Seriously, this easy/safe/free slogan is worthless if the fourth buzzword is "broken." The 10% of gamers who already play will be all Nintendo has left if the ones who are averse to it walk away with a bad first impression.
