Cry 2 Engine, Crysis Engine 2, Cry Engine 2, there seem to be a few names kicking around for Infinity Labs' new engine. This is the CryENGINE2 from CryTek (thanks Mocib!). Check this out for a nifty bit of rendering:
Not a photo!
CoMagz has a little compare-and-contrast set up. Lovely looking stuff!
UPDATE: Here's a vid. Rrrr.











Because really, hyperrealistic 3d models of a shanty is what this world was waiting for.

Hello!
The name of the engine is CryENGINE 2 and the team behind it is called Crytek, not "Infinity Labs" :)
Crytek made the 2004 classic PC FPS Far Cry.
Cheers,

While stunning, that video's really old. Check out some in-game goodness ones from E3 here and here
And this amazing one of a boss

Pretty graphics, but watching the E3 stuff, I found myself disappointed that it just the eye-candy for another first-person shooter.

My first thought was that creating content for that game engine must require a hell of a lot of labour. Add another zero to the environment building cost. ;)

It must have cost them a lot of money to rent out a section of an island, rent a tank, buy the video cameras, find a shark, all to film this.
