Graphics are only impressive if the gameplay can match and so far....
yeah

 

Also I played Knack, Good story wrapped around a poorly made platformer


That doesn't make sense. So if game has bad gameplay, then the graphics aren't that good? I need you to explain that one to me.


 Best way I can explain it is with an  analogy. Eye-candy doesn't taste as good real candy. It may look good, but if it doesn't taste good; it will forever leave a sour taste in your mouth. Very few games can balance both. 

I have done two things in my analogy, explained it and maybe made you want candy :P 


Not sure what the implications are, because Uncharted and Driveclub look nice they will play like molasse?

I would argue to the contrary, many of the best playing games across all time were also considered the best looking games of their time:

 - Super Marion Bros 3

 - Sonic the Hedgehog

 - Grand tourismo

 - Doom (on PC)

 - Quake (on PC)

 - Tekken 2 (PSX)

 - Soul Calibur (Dreamcast)

 - Whatever version of Grand Turismo was on PS2 and Forza on the og xbox

 - Any Halo game upon release

 - Gears of War

 - God of War 1, 2 and 3

 - Uncharted 2

etc.

Good teams make games that play and look great, this is what budgets are for... obviously one does not guarantee the other, but implying that good graphics somehow lessen the playing experience is just plain ignorance.
