There is an awful lot of compression going on in the Youtube video, so without the original footage it is nearly impossible to judge the visual quality.

Even just the geometry and texture resolution, quality and fluidity of animation and the assets in use...

I know what video compression looks like, but I also know that I've seen better stuff come out of the CryEngine than that, as I said.

I have to agree with you on the animation, it looks quite horrible actually. But I can't find a good view on the textures for example. Even on 1080p the video looks so dull I'm starting to think Amazon compressed it this much on purpose to hide the details.

Think the coolest idea is the AWS intergration feature. Amazon has the best cloud infrastructure in the world(they basically started the market for it!) so utilizing there servers should prove to be very useful. If it at least works as intended
