all of those screenshots from crysis look so good. But then the actual videos I've seen aren't that special. (or then it's just because the resolution in the video is crappy).

Yeah, graphics are just going to get better and better.

Now Direct X 10 basically cuts most of the overheads, realisation of effects wanted is going to become neverending, and these are what really make games look real.
With power also comes more polys to be capable of being thrown around, and of course not viewable in screenshots, full time motion blur/DOF/ and physics

Looks awesome, DX10?

 

[borat_sagdiyev]

One of the biggest features I think added in Shader Model 4 for Direct X 10 is the Geometry shader, another part of the pipeline after verteses have been calculated, basically, allowing for real time displace maps, etc.
