Ok thats definately the PC version they're showing there if it isn't CGI. If it is being done "real time/in engine" then thats the only platform that could achieve that level of detail.

The engine being used I pick is the "Far Cry 2" engine. Its a brilliantly designed engine with "layered shaders" So they can scale it easily between platforms.

Looks pretty cool and innovative, seems that we're getting a lot of new games this year and next which is pretty exciting. Its not MOH XXXX every year like the PS2 generation! xD

 

The odds that the game looks like this on a console or a PC that is less than $1500 when it is released is pretty close to 0% ...

I may be wrong but it doesn't look much more if at all more demanding than Crysis and they do have an engine that scales particularly well both to high and low end to pull it off. An urban environment like that doesn't require as much horsepower as a Jungle like Crysis, which is why most console shooters tend to happen indoors. Its simply easier to pull off the visuals.

Also since the release date is slated for 2009 at least, requiring something like a 4870 to pull off that level of visuals wouldn't be too far fetched considering there will be at least another half generation if not full generation between now and the release date.
