Now whether this is only for PC or for PC and consoles, just imagine, would this change your point of view?
EDIT: This will actually be supported for consoles. On their home website it claims they were granted 2 Million by the government to help. This engine will be used for multi-platform so even mobile phones will be able to use it.
Lol basically there would be so much detail that everything will look real and there will be an unlimited use so you can have real life looking maps that are HUGE instead of the graphics we have now where textures look like blobs or the shapes aren’t detailed much.

Did you even watch the whole video? The demo was created by programmers, so of course it’s not going to be that incredible. However, their goal is to make this atom technology the next step for games. Thus, they are making sure it works in a game environment. Just because they didn’t show something doesn’t mean it’s not in the works (something else stated in the video).
More on Topic: We probably won’t see this sort of thing used in games until the next console cycle, so 2014 at the earliest. Still, when it comes, I sure as hell cannot wait!

I watched the video a few months ago.
Doesn’t change the fact that animations are impossible.

Oh…then yeah, It would be great if microsoft could get their hands on it and let 343 use it.

How do you know animations are impossible? Again, just because it wasn’t there doesn’t mean it’s impossible. The tech is being built for games.

It’s not possible to arrange those ‘atoms’ without immense processing power. You’re talking about a processor that has to calculate the real-time positions of billions of atoms at one time. Let’s not even mention the impact a physics engine, collision mapping and dynamic lighting would have on performance.
It’s not possible. At least any time in the future. Polygons are a far more viable option.

I beg to differ. There was an interview with the company, and they actually looked into their little demonstration map and used an Xbox controller and mouse to navigate through the map with little CPU usage and lag.
Um if the maps are the sizes of halo CE-2 maps then everybody well be fine. The maps have been getting smaller and more focused on mid-range combat than vehicle play.
