Hey Valve, why the hell did you cancel the Black Box.? Most people who will buy this game already own Half-Life 2 and Episode 1. So I guess they'll have to pay an extra $10 to buy what they already own.

I'd wish they would use Rainbow Six Vegas as one of their test since it uses the new Unreal engine which most games will be using in the future.

There's a difference between a game built from the ground up with dx 10 in mind versus a game like lost planet that tries to convert to dx 10, which is why there's hardly any difference in quality. Also, it's just a demo so maybe it isn't fully optimized yet. Also, hardware and drivers are fairly new. When Doom 3 and Far Cry came out it ran fairly slow but with improvements in drivers both games ran much better on the same hardware. You won't see a major difference until the next generation of games for the PC comes out,and built specifically for the PC and not some console port. Which is a good thing since we can now have amazing games written first for the PC which can then be dumbed down and visually degraded for consoles instead of the reverse of having hack job ports that go from consoles to the PC like Splinter Cell Double Agent and NFS Carbon that are full of bugs.

spikedwraith, there's a video on gametrailers.com which shows the difference between crysis running on dx9 vs dx10. There's a major difference with added special effects ranging from light rays through trees, extra smoke and fire, and more environmental effects.
