MK8. 3DW has fantastic polish, but I'd like a little more going on on screen. It doesn't push boundaries. But MK8 really looks like a next-gen title.
3D world looks the best IMO

I feel inclined to second this. Tropical Freeze really is a gem.

3D World looks consistently fantastic so it wins for me. Pikmin 3 is a close second though.
Mario Kart 8. I love the art style and vibrant colors in it. SM3DW is a close second.
Bayonetta 2 just edges Mario Kart 8.

I definitely agree about it being underrated as a whole; it's a fantastic game that gets overlooked because it's not ambitious.
I wouldn't personally rate it as one of the best graphical showpieces for the system though. Yeah, the fur shading and perfect 60fps are nice, but it doesn't do much with lighting and shading compared to games like 3D World, MK8, Art of Balance, or Trine 2. From a technological point of view it feels kind of like a high end Wii game bumped up to 720p and with HD textures thrown in.

All the textures are beautiful, I can't say the same about 3D World and MK8. Not sure why I should give a damn about shaders in a 2.5D platformer and Trine 2 doesn't do it for me personally. The only thing I don't like the look of in DKC: TF is the lightning in the hurricane stage. Looks sooo bad... Skyward Sword's lightning looked a lot better (final boss fight).
The difference between DKC: R and DKC: TF is quite big imo. And just compare the textures of rocks/mountain walls in MK8 with DKC: TF. Big difference imo.
Let's comprimise: MK 8 and 3D World have higher highs, but also lower lows. I don't find anything appaling in DKC: TF and that's why I like it the most visually (except that damn lightning :p). Keep in mind that I also factor in art style. My favorite level, visually, is Cliffside Slide, and that doesn't do much on a technical level. ;) With only 2-3 colours, Retro Studios can make better looking games than 90% of the industy.

Disagree. When I played Returns, people around here didn't even realize it wasn't the same game as Tropical Freeze. As beautiful as Tropical Freeze is, the only visual improvements it has over it's predecessor are the HD rendering and textures and the fur shading. Which is enough to make the game pretty much as good-looking as it can actually be with that artstyle, but still. |
Then your friends are extremely blind. DKC: R barely has any textures at all. I can't even stand to play that game on my HD tv because of the jaggies.
Besides, Super Mario Galaxy in 1080p and 4x AA looks amazing as well:
