I found the first video interesting, i thought it was very realistic. But thought it would be incredibly odd if this was the actual speed it was in game.
I disliked the look of the engine in the second video, i found the way the branches came off very unrealistic looking, and then let down by the incredibly quick regeneration, whilst it would be a cool feature, they severely need to increase the time it takes, i hope it was at this speed purely for demonstration purposes.
The third video was very very impressive, i thought the weather was incredibly realistic, i thought the explosion seen at the end with the soft particles the best i have ever seen interestingly the branches came off in a much more realistic way, although i am unsure why only one branch came off and the tree was unaffected. Notice however the bush to the left of the tree being affected but not destroyed by the shockwave, and the bush to right of the tree been blown to the top of the screen and being carried off by the wind with a little too much force
The forth video was also very good, but nothing worth writing up about, and nothing more than you would come to expect.
Overall if the engine is gave a few tweaks here and there it will be very impressive, also note not mentioned in the video was how fire also spreads throughout the grass, affected by wind and precipitation. The sounds in all of the videos were incredibly rich and HD, something that sounds reminiscent of a HD or BluRay movie, suggesting it could well be playing on the Playstation 3 in this video. Which is understandable, as the amount of physics in these videos particular the third was very high, something the PS3 with its 9 processors is good at.
The images at the bottom of the page to do with indirect and direct advanced lighting are also interesting and reveal the high quality graphics in the game.
