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), along with a German video interview with
Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek,
Sten Hübler, Lead Level Designer, and
Bernd Diemer, Game Designer. The game is named
Crysis and will be shipping, as the first DX10 enabled game, in Q4 2006. We have the first
screenshots from the game, screenshots that were exclusive to the latest
Gamestar magazine issue released today.
Update: both videos and screenshots were removed from our download section due to Gamestar's request.
