These people are so full of crap. |

Doesn't even look good compared to today's standards, much less where a new engine should be. |

On further inspection, it seems like this is actually a pretty cool new engine. My original complaint was regarding the texture quality, which I now see isn't the point. |

I'm still skeptical. How well will it handle things on that scale with fewer (or no) repeated elements? And what kind of storage footprint does that island have? |

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. I noticed in the comparisons, there were no animations. I wonder how that will work? |

Looks like I correctly identified the limitations, lol. I'm not sure I buy the bit about animation, though. If you can manipulate a "chunk" of voxels by rotating or translating it, then you can work out how to animate it just fine and with the same articulation as a polygonal model with a skeleton. But yeah, the requirement for tessellation and raw quantities of data (for storage) is pretty damning. |

I don't really know how Notch would know. Advances in graphics clearly isn't where his expertise lies... Looks interesting if it's a real thing. He's not giving a lot of details, but he said they developing the tech. Looking especially pretty isn't the goal, they want to make a tool they would sell to developers who would use it better. I'm ambivalent about improved graphics, though. It'll take 10+ years to make an "atom" generated game? Will it cost more? If it took to long to use, dev's/publishers might not bite. I get used to better graphics so fast that it seems like a waste anyway. |

I get used to better graphics so fast that it seems like a waste anyway. The best graphics look exactly like real life. Yet I am not so amazed that I want to look out my window instead of at my computer. If graphics do become extremely realistic, it won't be like what a lot of people expect, to say the least. |
