Devil's Third is pretty much out in UK. Nintendo of America has opted not to publish it due to quality concerns. No word on another publisher picking it up for NA release, yet.

I got a good deal on Mario Kart 8 ($25) earlier in the week, and I just fired it up last night. It is beautiful. I know they would be more than capable of handling it, but are there any games on the PS4 or Xbox One that look as good as Mario Kart 8?

My 2014 GOTY and I still haven't played through all the DLC (which was a great deal considering all the additional content). Just a fantastic game.

Of course, in pure graphical fidelity there are some things. Resogun comes to mind.

But man, Nintendo's first party stuff has lighting nailed down. Totally agree that it's one of the best looking games to come out in the last few years.

Ryse for the Xbox One is one of the best looking current gen console games. Completely different art style obviously, but I like that it did have a style. They tweaked it just enough to get it out of the Uncanny Valley. From current footage it seems like Uncharted 4 will be right there, vibrant colors, lifelike animations, and excellent acting.

I've actually thought about picking up Ryse on PC. It never looked bad, just not particularly compelling.
