Which new technologies in Crysis would you say are most important in terms of new gameplay?

Cevat Yerli: I think the most important gameplay technologies are actually our breakable physics. It allows us to shatter things and break vegetation and model recoil damage, those make a huge impact on gameplay. The other aspect is soft cover and soft physics, to be able to represent motion throughout the jungle, that's very important for gameplay as well. Of course, things like motion blur add to the cinematic feeling, to the drama and the fear level, especially for the aliens, it amplifies speed and gives you the impression that they are moving very fast. It makes an impressive difference and you perceive the enemy differently as a result as well.
