This video uses the Berserker engine for the game, Quake 2.

I tried out some of the graphical enhancements for the game such as Q2M & EGL and I thought berserker had the best features. Features like real-time lighting from all light sources (including flashlight)and bump mapping to go along with it. That means real-time shadows from both the map architecture and models in it. That's accomplished by giving the light sources limited range so there aren't an insane amount of shadows everywhere from all the lights. It's fairly new stuff that you see in games like STALKER and HL2 Ep2.

My gripe with the flashlight is that it's source is right next to the player's FOV. That means the shadows that it casts are hard to see at a distance. Much better for atmosphere if it were placed at chest level where the real time shadows would be much more noticeable from it.
