replyI cant tell if they are slowing down the framerate to show off the effect or what but either way, really comes off as making it look like the increased Physics are killing the framerate..

On the bottom there's a black bar with the caption: "Actual gameplay footage slowed down to illustrate PhysX effects."
If that's true or just a lame excuse....
But I'm more interested which playblocker (read: DRM) EA/DICE will be using. I assume the SecuROM-shit they've used with Spore, C&C3 etc._)-
Most of these scenes were shown in an earlier trailer at full speed. It's not an excuse, at least on their hardware.
