I watched my roommate play through the entirety of The Order in one night and I thought it looked like absolute dog crap the entire time, both from a gameplay perspective and a "graphics" perspective. The game literally cuts off portions of the screen so it can render more shades of brown. Enough people giving this game a pass on this and other publishers will start doing it and that would be a huge shame. I will NEVER praise The Order or any of its associated design decicions, graphics-wise or gameplay-wise.
KZ:SF looked good but was a shit game as well. Driveclub is the only one on your list which didn't make massively negative design decisions just to accommodate "moar graphics" to fuel fanboy wars, and even that is hotly debated.
Gameplay always, always, always wins over graphics.
The confrontation between these two is going to be amazing to watch.
