Thanks for checking, i was lazy to google it

lol love the triple post Solid Stark. I was going to comment something related to the thread but I believe you covered it.

always a good sign, especially for japanese companies

I saw this months ago.

Whenever I read about "the next generation console graphics" and see pretty images indicating what these said graphics are suppose to look like the reality also turns out to be disappointing.

From N64 to PS2 and xbox to the current gen, developers all showed clips and and images well ahead of launch of graphical capabilities these consoles were suppose to be capable of.

I can even remember developers showing off some awesome "would be" graphic images for the N64 before it was launched and us kids all getting excited at school. Even the xbox couldn't match those supposed N64 graphics.

Not saying that this would be the case here but ...

Haha

Considering the DX11/PC support listed for the engine and the fact that it is targeting next gen (with current gen hardware support) I am going to assume a high end PC is running this "demo"

OT while the lighting looks accurate, this demo is static so it could well be some form of precomputed lighting in which case showing stark areas full off flat walls is not thayt impressive. I would need to see a realistic character model and dynamic lights to be impressed.

The samaritan demo has better looking dynamic lighting TBH, may not be quite as accurate in the demos that have been shown (none have actually tried to model a real world location to my knowlage) but at least we know it's dynamic

so does cryengine 3

There's a difference between showing a plain, white room like above and showing an area filled with monsters, vegetation and other things.
