Crysis Nuke Shockwave

Where is it?

In the teasers before Crysis came out they showed a nuke going off in a desert environment that literally rips through everything and obliterates a house realistically.

I've seen someone saying that it was probably pre-rendered using the 'mass-physics' user video's technique, but I hope it wasn't.

Anyone else disappointed they didn't see it?

The Tac Cannon is pretty similar, you can add it into the game with the editor, or its in multiplayer.

(It is different from the one you get in single player mode)

The sound it makes is pretty harrowing. It's not quite the same though, the explosion doesn't produce a mushroom cloud.

It was more of a tech demo for Cryengine 2 if I recall correctly. It wasn't in an official Crysis trailer was it? Did look great though.

Yup.

I didn't know this until after I'd finished Crysis though. I was a little dissapointed.

Theres loads of examples on Youtube with similar effects from people messing around in the editor, but none of them look anywhere near as good as that original teaser. Pre-rendered? Judging from the quality and the flawless framerate...most likely.
