Those're realtime graphics. CryEngine sandbox editor have only realtime preview. If you can't run it in realtime, you can't make it.

This demo is far from full potential of CE3. I can't understand why people think so. This is just a sample. Far from best, far from full potential. Crytek doesn't show even full potential of lighting techniquie of CE3 in this demo. And other parts are simple.

These're CryEngine2.

The people who say Crysis has only graphics are... 1. a person who don't play it 2. it doesn't suit him 3. he accepts what anti-Crysis people say. 4. console fanboy. Many people say "alien maps are bad", but still they are CoD level quality.

This is PC setting (not max though). It's confirmed from a person who played them in Gamescom. 360 setting is inferior to this.If this is 360 setting, PC can't make difference. Most of textures are very good, very high-poly & detailed character.

Conference demo is PC version with pad. Already confirmed froma person who played it in Gamescom.

PC version has better effect, better texture, better lighting.

Yea, ToD don't affect performance basically. "Better looking" isn't "lower performance". Many console guys are misunderstanding. We can get better looking & better performance at the same time. Crytek can't make superior ToD, because they didn't use HDR on Low/Med settings. HDR makebig difference on CryEngine2... and Crytek didn't optimize their map well. We can get better performance easily.
