I actually agree. It's certainly more fluid and pleasing to the eye. Sure, some games display more polygons or have better shadows or AA or whatever, but MK8 just looks and feels perfect, which is all that really matters.

It isn't about how the game feels, its about graphics and in the racing game genre itself both FH2 on XB1 and Driveclub look much better than MK8 in terms of graphics.

I haven't even mentioned the games from other genres which look better. Even on Wii U, Bayonetta 2 and SSB (from what I've seen online) look better.

"Best looking" doesn't just mean pure graphical horsepower. Saying so is very superficial.

MK8 plays the smoothest and looks the most pleasing while doing so. Driveclub and Forza may have better "graphics" but do they look the best while playing? Not really. MK8 is smoother (60fps), and looks better at what it does, since it is not trying to be photorealistic.
