Also, until that 'technology' that in that video is released, even as a demo. Its fake and gay. If it works on 'current hardware' and they have a working demo, why not release it.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Because releasing, say, the demo of HL2 on the Source engine as soon as it was working would have been a great idea, no? If the technology/software is in fact real or even working they may wish to refine it and develop it further.

Its not a game, its a technology demo. These are released all the time to my knowledge. I have like 3 on my computer at the moment.

Edit: Example

You're missing my point. The decision to release a demo is one specific to the developer. I'm not defending the company in question, but you can't simply dismiss something as trolling or fake only on the grounds that a demo hasn't been released yet, even if it's common to do so. Perhaps the company wants to perfect or modify the software before it's tossed to the public and dissected.

I understand, but if you don't want to release it, keep is secret. Don't go on youtube and tell gaming magazine 'omg we have this Awesome new thing that will change everything!'
... "can we see?"
... 'no.'

Even worse is that they are showing an actual demo. Not like part of a game or something, which would make sense if they didnt release it. And if you you don't want people stealing the idea patent and copyright it, even though nvidia will probably buy you out.

Even if this is real, it would be years before we see anything like this in games. Even longer for that of consoles as they are limited in their processing power.

Lol, love how everyone ignored my earlier comment. xD

The problem is not that it's not genuine; it probably is. As Notch points out, the problem is that they're trying to present existing technology as some huge new thing, probably to get funding.

Its on about volumetric rendering. If you do the maths then just you need many petabytes of data to store everything.

That's indeed a weakness of this system, and it's why their demo has so many repeated elements. (LOL'd at how they claim that the repetition is because of their lack of atistic skill )

Snake oil salesmen and their shenanigans aside though, I believe that technology like this will eventually find its way into video games, once the various issues with data storage and animation are ironed out.
