Anyhow, I think plenty of last gen games look technically better than MK8.

For an apples to apples comparison, you'd have to compare to last gen Kart Racers, and MK8 blows them out of the water.

Outside of Mario Kart it's not a big genre, so comparing to other kart racers is very limited.

Just compare MK8 water with GTA V water... and GTA V is not like a "water game" it's a big open world sandbox game you can do so many things in, so it's technically harder to achieve high graphical quality than a closed circuit racer.

Why are you comparing offscreen footage (MK8) to in-game (GTA V)?

Why not?  I'm not comparing resolution.  Don't need a high res pic to see the technologies used.

MK8 water is using shader techniques possible since the original Xbox, but in HD.
