the TRU thing is (as biker said) mostly noticable on deck in the blink video, where all the shadows are showing up as tris on laras mesh.

Um, if you're referring to the jaggy look of the shadows, can't that be addressed by increasing something called shadowmap resolution? I remember complaining about similarly low definition for Oblivion's shadows on a forum, and someone suggested that. I increased the shadow resolution from 1024 to 2048 and I did see a notable increase in quality. Even more notable with 4096, but that made my computer cry.
Here's the relevant line from Oblivion's .ini:

iShadowMapResolution=2048
Could this be done for TR:U? Or am I ranting about something completely unrelated?

Bikerdude, you DO realize that the forum automatically puts your name next to every one of your posts, yes? While there's a certain sort of admirable crazy to the people who consistently post their entire name, wimping out like this is beyond sad. If you don't have the energy for it anymore... just stop. For the love of god, stop already.

It's not just UE3 that does it. Viva Pinata has it as well. The shadows aren't really
jagged either - they're fairly low-res and use dithering to both implement soft edges and disguise the comparatively low resolution. It might just be the way DX10 handles dynamic soft shadows (which Bioshock didn't have as far as I remember), I think.
.
The Direct X 10 version of BioShock did have improved shadows, actually :) There were only 2 other improvements, water ripples and soft particles.
The TRU engine is most certainly not UE3, it's a proprietary engine that Deus Ex 3 is using as well.
