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...

I already said I'm sorry for getting Pissy about this and the end of my last post, this was more of a general rant than anything, all though I still think this isn't a very good demonstration personally because of the before mentioned reasons.

I apologise, I actually wrote that reply as I was on my way out for the night and it came off a great deal "pissy'er" than I had intended.

Put simply, I definitely agree that the CryEngine2 is not representative of reality but the video does serve as an interesting example of how close we are getting. We are still a ways from the point where a side by side comparison of a 100% rendered environment and actual video of that environment are identically lifelike.

If the claim was that the CryEngine looked identical I think a constant side-by-side approach would be warranted but since the engine is still not truly representative of reality I really don't think it matters if they put it in a smaller frame for certain segments of the video.
