A couple of days ago some early footage video of what to expect from Far Cry 2 leaked onto the web, this is the updated Crytek engine. The shadows and plants moving about looks phenomenal. I didn't look into the footage until today and wow that's impressive.
Back in September 2005, at the PDC Microsoft Conference, CryTek, developers of Far Cry, released a movie that showcased some of the capabilities of the Cry Engine 2 under DirectX 10 API: dynamic day/night cycle, fully interactive enviroments, sunrays and diffuse transmission, real time soft shadows, soft particles, interactive/destructrible enviroments, volumetric clouds, and advanced shader technology. Courtesy of DocSEAL, we have the official version of the movie (hi-res version).
The game is named Crysis and will be shipping, as the first DX10 enabled game, in Q4 2006.
Observe the following:
- The foliage moving about when brushing against it
- The soft showing tech looks very very cool.
- The destrucible environments, think about the physics at work and what is about to be released
- The Fire
