It seem crytek integrated the realtime GI system into there engine.

You can think of it as a grid in 3d space that samples light.
Or voxel lighting.

Didn't Unreal Engine 3 get realtime GI recently?

W/e, still looks cool.

Nope, just screen based ambient occlusion.

Not realtime. :/
That is in the lightmaps.

My bad. In any event, I do like how Crytek is doing it, but imo something still feels off. I somehow feel that given the intensity of the light, it should be bouncing off those colored rugs more.
