Can
Ok, so I say I haven't got time to check
Here are a couple of quotes from Oleg:

Say on the window of the house. Say for the wheels of the aircraft or for the spherical surface of bomb.
This means in my team probably a year of work in additional.
Tesseleation its not a function that you simply can turn On if you have DX11 and proper card. This means that should be great work in plan a year or greater ago....
This method is young enough, but that to use it for some areas of obects in the complete game the developer need some great enough time... and as more complex and more greater amount of the objects - more greater time it need for implementation and tests... and I don't tell about possible great bugs in visuals using this method.
Lets say if it will be a standard for some 5-10 years and will not change in future like many others in the past, then it is useful. I can't say at the moment right thing about the life of this method on the market. We plan the game not only for DX11.... but also the game life after DX11.... that to do not rework anything from old
And in this case the good hard manual development of excellent precise models is a guarantie for a long life title.
I may say that probably in future we will use this method for the objects like humans and wheels. But probably not in release.

Saying "We plan the game not only for DX11...." suggests it will take advantages of the improvements made in DX11.
In response to the question "I Hope they will support DX11 as it is DX brakethrough like DX 9 was." he said:

Now that is pretty clear that DX11 will have graphics that are not in DX10 or DX9, so DX11 will be a benefit.
