I loved how the guy in the "breakable vegetation system" section comes out of the trees, sees the player's minigun, turns around and runs away

The editor is also completely amazing.

zomg. Hard to say what's the best bit -- for me it's the skeletal animation stuff. Realistic animation is way more important than high-res assets when it comes to creating believable characters.

Can't say I like the over-done depth-of-field, but they probably cranked it up there to show it off. Doesn't really make sense in a videogame when you're usually scanning your eyes all around the scene.

The nuke blast at the end is awesome in the HD longer version.

It looks great.

Must resist urge to blow rebate on PC now, wait for the hardware when this is released.

If Crysis plays even half as good as it looks it'll be a gem

Looks very impressive (except for the stupid Fisher/Snake suit, not really inspired)!

I hope really everything will be breakable. If they manage that, I'll get a new Mac.

Holy shit balls. That was the best tech demo I've ever seen. Looks stunning, looks like everything in the past just got shit on by this fellow. Hope it plays well so I can pick it up in 6 years when I can afford the PC to play it.

Hmm, the general concensus seem to be along the line of HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT FUCKER DAMN THAT FUCKING GAME LOOKS GOOOOOOOOD...I would have concur with those statements.

I read in an interview (poss in edge) that the devs of this game say that the engine is very scaleable and that if you like you can crank settings to a level that would bring down a Quad core, Dual 8800GTX w/4Gb RAM DX10 system (if you are that sadistic) apparently they are looking to the future and reckon that in a few years and the hardware around at that time will make the game look even better.

PS: I liked the "Holy Shit Balls" comment! lol

i wonder if this supprts the PhysX cards? The R600 apparently support both sound and Physics on the GPU too so it would be interesting to see the performace hit these features will have.

Virtual reality is not good enough. This still looks like a game.
I demand reality!
