What is the latest greatest graphics engine now?

I would bet that the Luminous engine would look half that good when it releases finally. Sure it looks nice when it's custom setup to do everything and show off every effect. When you play a game using it, half the stuff will be turned off so you can get 60fps. Then it'll be gimped due to limited memory on consoles.

I'm sure that they will use more optimized assets as well.
The demo used pretty much raw assets meant for pre-rendered scenes.

This means that soldiers had toes inside boots and so on..

I reckon capcoms MT FRAMEWORK is pretty neat i remember playing resident evil 5 I know it's a direct x 10 title but the graphics are amazing

I'm frankly surprised on the hate on Frostbite 2. For me it's the best engine out these days. CryEngine is its only competitor - and what on CryEngine is worth playing at the moment. Crysis 1 has turned into a glorified benchmark.

Now before Frostbite 2, CryEngine definitely had no competition.

There wasn't single line about forward+ in that presentation, but it did state deferred rendering and G-Buffers..

Farcy3 does some very impressive things though.

FarCry 3 has some strange things going on with it's system requirements. They are ridiculously AMD biased, so much so in fact that it is hard to take them seriously.

what do you mean by "ridiculously AMD biased"? it does looks odd seeing the 5770 being put in the same recommendation as the 480 and the FX4150 alongside the 2600K.
