I think those shots are showing some nice artwork and good designskills but other than that the first thing I noticed was the water and a bit later the lack of shadows for a cuple of objects. Is the fences shadow realtimeshadowmapping? At least its resolution is VERY low... But hey, nice screenshots

ello, all you can say about these screens is "the reflection shader isn't accurate"? of course, since the rest is artwork which would work and look good everywhere

Please keep in mind that the last images are made by one single person (Christian) as a side work while making a new model package. GC is only the tool he had chosen to show his work in real-time.
But I can assure you that GC can do both: apply static shadow-maps as well as use real-time shadows (stencils and/or soft-shadows via shaders). So if you want, then you can do an overdose on shadows but you don't have to if you want big amount of fps. And all the shadowing can happen with normal-mapping or other shaders on textures (yes, even the static shadows).
It is up to you.
By the way: I like the shots and I barely see so nice real-time level design from single persons in the game forums. Christian is talented without any questions.
