but that fancy smancy stuff could actually be part of the story line, i mean imagine is a wall had to be destroyed to block a passage or if someone had to diverge a river to flood a town, all in real tim, dynamic maps, instead of having it pre scripted or pre rendered scene (as it happens in most of todays games). maybe they need to get a bit more creative and push it harder. i guess some developers are a bit cautious cos sometimes it may be seen as unnecessary. look at crysis, amazing visuals, but people bashed it cos their rigs could not run it. the game wasnt bloated, just ahead of its time

Metro Last Light did it pretty well
The only problem with that is it'd have to be simple enough for low end systems to be able to run with ease which would look worse then what you can get away with pre-scripted. With new consoles/hardware and new engines like UE4 we might be able to push that boundary though!
I hope they have Boobworks as well

That's the problem.
GPU Makers just waffle on about REZ/AA/FPS.
When ppl actually want to see some new fx, something new and exciting.
