Imagine the future of the Elder Scrolls Franchise using this

Bethesda is always ahead in technology, it made Oblivion way ahead of it's time, but this would make the franchise even immersive in future installments. Actually I would like to see this in the next Fallout 4.

Wow. I'm not normally one to care about graphics, but wow. That much detail, and if I'm understanding this correctly, it would run the same on a PC that could run the normal polygon graphics, right?

That would be the next leap in gaming. I expect to see this trend to occur, it's only natural.

Hopefully they will start implementing this into games soon, I've always seen the little card board graphic in the outside border of maps. I had no clue they had restrictions to create items.

I hope that games using that kind of detail will start being created soon... Atleast before I die... Which will be a while.

Congartulations, your the first person to make me crap at a games grahpics.

I wonder if Bethesda will use these in an upcoming ES game. I hope so, they're already great envirement designers.

Carl Sagan once said that "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" .

This company claims that their technology will revolutionize the gaming industry, but so far I have seen little evidende of this. The video looks nice, but is not good enough proof for me.

The technology they are building seems to be based on Voxels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel). But that technology was abandoned years ago, and for good reasons.

I wonder how easy it is to build a large unique game world for that game engine. Cause that's the biggest benefit with the stuff Bethesda been using in the past decade, the possibility to build huge game worlds relatively easy.

I agree skepticism is warranted, and yes from Euclideon's own admission they claim it to be a "polygon to voxel conversion". They seemed to have garnered enough faith by http://www.euclideon.com/pr_9_may_11.html from the Australian Government.

If they pull this off, these guys are going to be extremely rich...

Meanwhile, I'm trying to make an engine work using bubbles...

If you click the link at the bottom of the youtube video, on their site they actually say it is voxel.....still though, you can't deny that it sounds great :)
Sounding and being are two different things however......

After surfing through some links, I came across atomontage who are also working on a voxel engine.... Really though, as awesome as unlimited detail sounds, everything I've seen looks like crap up close. This kinda tech is pretty far from being 1st person worthy.
