Looking at this picture it looks like all the wood and that broke like it should do in real life, however when playing the game it all stayed in panels and nothing like what was shown in this early picture. I'm running the game on very high so it's not my settings but i just find it weird how this is clearly in the game and yet they take it out.

Sneaky! But then all game companies do it.. i had seeing pictures of games that are first released.. they are nearly always better than what the gameplay will be like because they are either edited or are taken from a cinematic.

Yeh but it looks like it's made with the in game engine meaning it exists but they never put it in. I know the graphics they showed with the early stuff was just fake CG stuff toget investors interested but this looks like it was made ont he actual Crysis engine.

It looks like an air brushed cinematic. If it was a game pic they may have remove things from the game because of performance issues.

No, not really. Most of the early stuff was real, just not included in the game. Like the famous nuke scene. It's not in the game, but the mod community has already recreated it. So alot of the stuff isnt really a lie, it's just that the screenshot in the first post is a cinematic. It just happenes to very identical to the game

yeah, the big problem is that systems can't run the game well. the good folks at crytek have said that as new tech is developed new patches will be released to show of the games true potential. the head crytek guy, Yerveti or w/e ,was saying that so many technical aspects of the engine had to be scaled down to meet the demands of computers..... lets all pray the 9800 GTX's come out soon so we can maybe see the game at true potential.

If you're really looking forward to a good physics engine, go find the youtube/preview videos of LucasArt's Force Unleashed.

They have actual tech demos of realistic object modeling/breaking and a pretty neat AI system to boot. And yeah, it will be in the final game (or at least it better be since that's what they're hyping).

it is a cinematic, but they did use the Crysis engine. The cinematic is just prerendered since no consumer PC could render that in real time.

Well, Crysis is already a huge system hog, you're suggesting they crank it up a bit more? :P

You do realize The Force Unleashed is not slated for PC right...?

Also, see this for some truly breath taking physics. :P

Not that special. Its just cubes with textures flying around. They dont even break apart.

Did you even watch the whole thing? That was awesome. No, it wasnt realistic, but it certainly came close.

I was secretly hoping they would light the giant box man on fire, though, sort of in an ode to Burning Man :twisted:

Which is 100% a mistake. If LucasArts made anything like that for the PC and made it as good as JK2: JO then they'd be onto a no brainer best seller.

That screen is from a very old build. You want to see what the CryEngine 2 can do? Look here.
