I've written down some notes about the german giga videos and here they are:
Video1:
-some features: suit with the speed, armor etc options you can change realtime to change the tactic or hit trees, at first you only got one but you get more over the game and they will be better and better, also you can carry more ammo, you can be faster
-weapon upgrades: like silencer, flashligt, laserpointer, scope and some are for all weapons and every weapon can be upgraded a bit
-szenarios: all in all 4, interactive jungle, air-carrier, frozen paradise and alien mothership(without gravity)
-engine: all selfmade, so no havoc or so and so far pc-only
Video2:
-into the ice-bubble
-it's a DX9/dx10 engine, everything has shadows, light, transparence, internal crytek joke: one crysis tree hast more tech than the hole farcry-game
-what you see is "only" DX9, so the endgame looks better
Question: PhysX-cards?
answer: no, cause the software itself handles the physics better than the card and they don't want their customers to spend to much money for buying hardware, GPU is enough..
-you play more than one level on the air carrier
-12-18levels in fullgame
-faces got shadows
-models aren't looking like plastic
-more ways to end a level, like in farcry and more
-the AI learns fro your playing style
Video3:
-they show a DX10 video
-what is better with DX10?
-light, shadows, atmo, particles
-when hunter cries you can see the air moving
-volumetric clouds, light...
WinVista:
-they help MS to make it more a gaming OS
-rating system compares your pc with the game
-vista runs it faster than XP
Community:
-they watch the feedback
-editor and mod sdk as a whole pack with the game itself
-Then he shows the editor abit, but no infos
AI:
-first intelligent alien AI that hears, sees(when you go throu a little tree and it moves...), no scripts except big things
-you can't use the same tactic every time
-they move more human-like, jumping into cover etc...
so, that's it :D
