Am I the only one that can spell the word FAKE?
I'm not saying this isn't rendered with CryEngine 2, because I believe it is, but not any game will look like this with the engine.
Take Crysis. They released a lot of "reality vs CryEngine" screenshots where you could hardly tell the difference, just to hype Crysis. Did Crysis look anything close to photorealism? Not by a long shot. It looked a little better than anything that's released yet. So yes, it looks amazing. But still not close to reality.
It's all just hype. Most engines can render beautiful stuff, but it won't make it in a game, that's just beyond the capabilities of any engine today.
