Quite simply the video is a valid comparison of what the engine can do on high end hardware right now. It certainly doesn't look so good that you cannot tell the difference but it looks good enough that it warranted a side-by-side comparison to give folks an idea of where we are at right now. |
Hold up. Is there another version of this video not on Game Trailers. Because even in the "HD" version they constantly shrink one of the video to quarter size over a full size ones which is hardly a fair comparison. Even between that and occasional quick cutting a lot of these were fairly obvious which was "Real" and which was the CryEngine even when they don't tell. Especially the one with the multiple cars in the shot where the shiny video game cars and then reality on the other panel.
It's extremely impressive what they've done here, and I understand why so many people get excited over it. But for all this jive about comparing this stuff to "reality" it all still just looks like the best fake even on my crummy computer screen. I hardly consider an CryEngine reproduction of an arty commercial with numerous quick cuts compared to reality over Game Trailers a fair way to gauge "where we are right now".
Sorry to get pissy, but these "Games VS. Reality" claims tend to annoy the hell out of me, and you probably didn't even mean it like that. |
Uhm...try reading again. Here I'll bold for you...
As for the fair comparisonthe smaller box really doesn't matter much. Nobody is saying it looks so good that there is no difference anyways...so again don't get your panties in a twist over nothing..seriously...
