GDC 07: Crysis Footage

Crysis runs on the new CryENGINE 2 technology and is one of the the first games announced to use the advanced DirectX 10 architecture. Videos after the jump.
We could go on and on about the vast array of features added to this engine. There's just so many things that it does right. Let's just skip it all and say that the new engine looks almost as good as reality. While the system requirements for high level visuals are bound to be a bit high, Crytek has incorporated an automatic occlusion system that keeps the poly counts as low as possible, even in the busiest of scenes

from mario brothers to this kind of technology... wow I am really looking forward to the next ten years... and see if there is actually a limit to realism in games... now I am really jealous of the next generation who is able to play even more complex and realistic games.

Why does it say: 'available now' ?

"Why does it say: ‘available now’ ?" Because this was shown at the GDC- Game Developers Conference. Which means the engine is available for Game Developers for licensing.

unbelieveable I'm sure this blew the minds of everyone there. I think this is forsure the forefront of gaming technology. I can't imagine anything beating this for a while. I'm truly amazed.
