Quite a breakthrough If they get it done. The demo island was amazing.

I'm skeptical. Saw this on Reddit, but I'm not sure it's all it's been cracked up to be. We'll see.

Feels too good to be true. I'll wait until I try it out personally before getting hyped.

I'm not sure I understood the 'atom instead of polygon' explanation.
Looks too good to be true, but I'm sure their stocks just went up 

 

[AWdeV]

Looks pretty damn sweet.

They'll go down again if they cannot do it

I keep getting distracted over how the guy in the video sounds like Terry Jones.

 

[Elisianthus]

Whoa.

 

[Sound Chaser]

Having read the comments, the main problems seem to be implementing physics, animation and lighting.

Having read the comments, the more or less uneducated commenters think that main problems are implementing physics, animation and lighting.

fixed that for you.

Sure we had a thread about it last year too.

I'm no tech whizz, but is this something amazing because it does seem so 

 

[Sethaniel]

Wow. Now that's something to look forward to... though I'm curious how well our PCs will be able to handle such technology.

I hope you guys stop ****ting your panties now.

 

[Merlkir]

Notice that most of the drawbacks are "we don't have a fast/efficient algorithm now". Which is exactly what's plagued polygon based technology as well.

It just takes someone awesome to figure out a way to cheat, or go around these limits. (think shaders going around the need for super detailed geometry, which is funny enough something these guys go against)

So, yeah, as Notch says, it's snake oil selling. But the technology itself is very real and has potential.

 

[faradon]

Potential, maybe. However, it is stupid that people suddenly think they'll see that stuff in games soon. That won't happen for a long time.

I really wish this would stop popping up, I remember the last time someone reposted it with the exact same discussions following it on reddit. So this is some amazing new gprahics eh? So why the hell don't they release anything using it, they have been bragging about it for years.

Voxels were used in games before polygons. It's one of the issues with it, it's kinda like someone coming along and saying how they've got this amazing upgraded bow and arrow system when everyone else has M16's.
