They have said FarCry 2 will not use the CryTech 2 engine, but a different engine. I stumbled across a tech demo of said engine:

First post!

Also, I do like this engine over CryEngine 2. Maybe this won't require 3 9800GX2s dipped in liquid nitrogen to play. One thing I think CryEngine 2 has over Dunia is the foliage. This is probably because Crysis was nothing but trees/grass, but it seems that plants are much more clear in CE2.

TL;DR: Looks great, probably more efficient, but plants were better in CE2.

Looks prettier, but I bet it uses the same amout of resources or more to run well.
I might need to get another 9600GT. or step up to a couple of 9800s

Not sure how you could tell anything from that youtube video. The quality was some of the worse I've seen come off that site.

I agree. Crysis has some of the most realistic foliage ever designed. Run the game on very high, and it looks exactly like it should in real life. The one in Dunia is much more interactive, though, in the way it behaves with particles. They just look much more unified and unrealistic, though.

Its obviously still in the works though, so who knows how the final will come out to.

I think the sunbeams looked a lot better.
Also, fire is :P.

cryengine had beautiful jungle foliage, while dunia has it perfect with the savanna foliage.

I just dont like the weapon skins/animations. They feel too video-game-ish.

Another tech demo.

To me, the jungle seems to have alot more variety than in Crysis. Like Zeph said though, its nothing on a youtube video, we really need HD videos to see it full.

The Fp Hands remind me of CS:S :O

Yeah, my first thought was that the FP hands/weapons looked really out of place. They should really work on that.

The engine is really impressive considering that it is derived from the original CryENGINE.
