The lighting/shading in the car scene 
Realtime doesn't mean at playable framerate.. maybe it's realtime on 3x GTX580 at 5 fps.
Since most if not all of that is already in I doubt you would even need a high-end GPU to pull those effects. Only thing lacking might be realtime reflections but final game will have it acording to dev at Incrysis or Crymod (there is a quote).
They went for a different artstyle. Like Crysis to Warhead. Might also be more suitable if scaling down effects to keep "parity" in visuals presentation between versions.
There is a video of beta leak posted in one thread where user changed TOD to look far more realistically. Akin to that tech demo but for outdoor scenery at daytime. It depends though on map/level. Some are more artistic some are more realistic based on video footage and demo like Pier 17 looking artystically stylised vs Rooftops looking quite realistic.

About the "Integrated image-based lighting" thing.
In the leaked Sandbox 3 editor, there's an entity called "Environment Probe". You set a radius and a cubemap, and when you activate it, the ambient lighting and reflections are "synched" with the cubemap.
Example: Here a trailer and a sphere with a completely black material, high specularity and glossiness.
No environment probe:
With environment probe.

They probably use them in all of their maps, to make reflections more consistent.
I'm still waiting to see actual realtime glossy reflections in the game (and deformation).

New CryEngine 3 shots

Why do I need Terragen again? :>

Because all of those shots are CryEngine 2. Crytek's marketing team are so lazy
Not all of them. 4 are CryEngine 3.Because all of those shots are CryEngine 2. Crytek's marketing team are so lazy
I've seen most of them at CryMod, apart from the castle/night scene, because that's from the GDC demo.
Now they look great. Fingers crossed the final game will look like that.
I have seen SP in person,hardcore settings DX9.It looks better than any other game I have ever seen in my life.Hopefully they won't fuck up DX11 and they will bring their A game with it.
Oh it will but in a city. Crysis will have to ride the backseat together with Warhead and Crysis Wars.
This + the GI just puts the lighting above and beyond CE2, IMO:About the "Integrated image-based lighting" thing.

I was pretty stunned at how realistic they looked.
