It looks amazing but I wonder how will developers scan dragons and thousands of other objects to put into game.
And how are they supposed to change their specialization so much, from creating 3d world to scanning objects.

Actually, it probably wouldn't change as much. Still would need to place the objects, and create the land. And not eveyrthing can be scanned. After all, how would you scan the White Gold Tower from Oblivion? They'd probably make use of a 3d modelling software used in those 3D printers, and find a way to convert that to this "new" format.

I'm still reserved about this- we've got people saying they've seen the same thing a year ago. And with the creator giving a huge promise and little explanation, it just reeks of a scam. Snake oil salesmen use the same tactics; if you have FO3 and the Broken Steel DLC, just listen to the salesman in front of Underworld- he's a good example of what I'm talking about, if over-the-top.

There are no reputable sources that spoke out against them in any sort of legitimate way that Euclideon couldn't counter. If you're implying Notch in any sort of way, your opinion is already invalid.

They can still create anything they want to with any program they already use and are familiar with, the only difference is that they would no longer be limited by detail in any way, only limited by imagination. This is the natural next step in gaming. Also, you only scan objects to put into the games if you're using something from a real-world source. Mainly because you could save tens of dozens of hours scanning in some sand rather than creating it yourself.

Holy necrobump, Batman!

Hey, that's about as much time each TES game takes to develop!

But seriously, sounds too good to be true, probably won't be implemented into gaming in the near future, voxels, scam, Vinegar Ra, etc, etc...

Edit: Mother of God, I just now realized how old this thread is.

Nice bump. I remember when this thread was created. Lots of negativity....

Except from the people who actually know something about the technology this engine uses... and those peeps were promptly ignored .

EDIT: And it's only been three months. Only a moderate necro, at worst.

I've been blamed for a necro on a thread that was only two weeks old on the front page of a forum (on another site).

But we'll just have to wait and see in 5 years if this will actually work. Technology has to progress sooner or later.

I'd call that just a mild necro . And, yeah, it'll be a few years yet before Euclideon has a product, rather than just a project.

gotta say i think kids will look back at our games in 10 years and think they look like crap
while we weap

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just like we do now on older games. I could just imagine someone 10 years later found this thread and saw all the non-believing comments on here. It's just like how so many doubted anyone could reach the Moon.

I'll admit, it was a bit of a necrobump/gravedig, but I felt this topic deserved some more discussion, so I bumped this thread rather than recreating a similar one.

No, no it doesn't.

What makes you so sure? You got a single fact to back that up?
EDIT: just realised that game is long gone. Damn you necrothreader!

errr... the discussion, for the most part, already ran it's course. i also haven't heard any new news on this project since the thread was made so i'm not certain anything of value could even be added to the discussion aside from opinions

People get confused on older posts.

Hey, he bumped it, whats done is done Its not a big deal.
Anyway its more interesting than "What is the best burger" or "whats more attractive- red head nord or blonde nord" type threads.

On the bright side, for the last two years they do a 'what we'e been up to for the past year' in April. With any luck they will do the same thing again this year and hopefully either it will prove its not what it seems, or it will silence the nay sayers.

or they look back at us talking about us going to mars
but there living there
ahhh the future

Here's a thread that did not need to be dragged up from the basemant. Please don't bump months old threads. Thanks.
