THe people posting and saying this is average are hilarious.

Either 

A.  You didnt click the HD link

B.  Need glasses.  Massively.  

yea I know it's not the most impressive tech demo ever but it shows some new updates to unreal and the flowers in the start were beautifully done, the lighting is also very good, day/night transitions wasn't quite as natural as I would have like but still... It also should help to demonstrate to people that unreal engine can do more than bland grey war shooters and it's the devs and art direction that push games that way, I hear all the time how people hate unreal because it makes games grey which is just wrong lol. There are areas where the demo could improve and it was quite limited in scope plus the water running down stuff looked goofy.

Exactly this isn't the most amazing clip I've ever seen of a tech demo but it is still damn impressive.  To say this is average is absolutely ridiculous.  If a game released right now on the 360 that could handle this level of detail in larger environments at a good framrate it would easily be in contention for best graphics of the generation.  The poly count alone on this clip FAR exceeds what almost any game is pushing right now.  Then again its also a tech demo only so is allowed to push farther due to smaller areas of focus such as zero processing for things like AI.

well other than modded Crysis lol that game probably pulls ahead with draw distance, I guess the fact that this demo is running on a couple of GTX 480s and and i7 is what is putting people off. It kind makes me wish that Microsoft would finally put thier money where their mouth is when they say that they still support PC gaming and get Epic to release Gears 3 on PC so that it could look as good as this tech demo.
