Arguably the best Crysis video I've ever seen.

Physics demo. Absolutely awesome.

Wow really amazing physics.

That's a shame. I'm not sure if it's anywhere else. I'll have a look.

Must have taken days to do.

Yup, amazing video.

What about http://keepvid.com/ ? Can you enter the url there and download the video to your PC as a .flv file?

Dang! There is no way that can be real... If that is real, the Cryengine 2 is 10 times as efficient as the Source Engine. Doing that with those boxes in real time is just unbelievable.

That is not in realtime Still impressive though.

Thats the map and no it's not realtime but when I tried it it was more 1 frame per second instead of the 8 seconds per frame like the guy that made the video. It maxed out my CPU to 100%, nekrosoft13s Quadcore was at 75-85% but still a little too slow.

Here is the thread of the guy that made the youtube clip:

WOW! That's incredible! So this sys_physics 0 or 1....what exactly does it do? He says that setting to to 0 will decrease framerate a whole bunch....but with it at 1 the framerate is crap because the CPU is bogged down with physics. Hmm, I guess maybe it give physics a priority or something? That's pretty cool.

sys_physics_cpu 1 - thats the default setting, unsyncs physics from the GPU framerate. It's better to have physical objects to get slowed down instead of graphics and physics during actual gameplay.

sys_physics_cpu 0 - this one syncs physics with the gpu and makes the recording possible

fixed_time_step xx - this cvar changes the general "speed" of the game, you can play it slowmo or much higher speed than normal. It's pretty funny to use this one in SP. Slowmo value is something like 0.01 and speed up something like 0.09.

Here in this thread you can read in detail what the guy did:

Oh cool! Thanks!

Console cvars that he used:

con_restricted 0 (enables advanced cvars)
map xyz (loads the physics map)
sys_physics_CPU 0
fixed_time_step 0.033333
e_particles 0 (all those particles when a box would collide with something killed my GPU)
r_motionblur 4 (need the very high tweak if on DX9)
r_useEdgeAA 2
r_displayinfo 0 (get rid of the white text when in devmode/sandbox)
cl_hud 0
capture_frames 1 (to take a screenshot at every frame so you can add them all together to make a smooth motioned video).
