If the breaking stones falling were real time physics and not scripted then it's an impressive thing to have in any game engine, but I doubt we'll really have games make use of this kind of stuff outside of cinematic scenes, which basically means nothing special is going on. Not enough game developers have the balls to make something that uses all the potential of a game engine, it always seems to be a generation or two behind. They may as well just show a donkey with flies flying around its ass for 3 minutes instead of wasting time showing us stuff we probably won't get.

Was thinking the exact same thing, cutscenes don't really amuse me. It looks nice, though... I guess.

this demo is more useful for developers
heard this engine is much easier for them to make graphics with

I like it, looking forward to the new unreal engine. But about this video... did that guy just wake up to get the fire going? Like "GAH! COLD! Close the door!!"

A Medieval European inspired stone building from apparently pre-Christian times somewhere in Himalayan No Man's Land?

Weird premise, but looks pretty anyway.

like the cat said...
the demo was made for developers
not for consumers
this means no story or anything like that
just the effects that developers can achieve

and an article mentioned that good visual effects take less work than before for developers
