Crytek has officially released its DirectX 11 update to Crysis 2. This now means gamers get tessellation, high dynamic range motion blur, improved water rendering, HDR post-processing, particle shadows and more. Basically, the changes take an already attractive game and make it look even more stunning. Honestly, I still can't believe the level of complexity that gamers get real-time these days... makes me feel old thinking about all the hours playing Duke Nukem 3D.
