Two new screens can be found at the
Penumbra: Overture website media section. The screens are showing some dissection of an enemy as well as the view of a frozen lake.

Weird, and why are the photo's slightly blury, kinda hard to see but kinda fuzzy..
But interesting=]
I think it's the Depth of Field effect.
no then there would be a point on the screen where everything is blurry
think it is low quality teaser screens :d
it is (imo) the DOF effect, you can see the rock in the middle of the screen - it's pretty clear (may just be my eyes, tho)
Very nice, are the light-ray effects in the 2nd screen done using billboards or just transparent meshes?
in the first screen it is DOF indeed (altough its not a rock but a monster :) )
and about the light rays i dont know
what do you mean with bilboards btw? :$

Billboard is like a 2D image in 3D space. Remember the first early 3D games, how on some with grass or a bush, you could walk around it, but it wouldn't really be 3D, it is just like a 2D image of grass/bush that is constantly facing the camera. Great example is in Doom, those explosive barrels.
Rock Lobster!!!
oooh, you mean sprites :p
i dont think that are sprites, maybe just volumetric light or a map hack (like in HL)
Just to clear things up. Both images have depth of field and the rays are billboards (axis aligned to be specific). :)
And yeah, we like dof :P
