This just blew my mind, they've essentially just increased the amount of detail in each game infinitely. This means so much for the video game industry. Please share any thoughts or emotions you have after watching this video.

For those who don't want to watch the video, what they've done is replaced polygons, with atoms. Video games render all 3D graphics with polygons, but a computer can only render so many of these. They have figured out how to replace those polygons, with tiny dots. Before, you can see the sides of a tree or rock. Now, the rock is made up of thousands and thousands of little dots, making it as realistic as a rock in real life.

Battlefield 3. Lighting is crazy, graphics are the best I've seen, and very realistic destruction of environments.


that's great, you can make graphics infinitely better, but it won't help the makers with their plots, i can find games who i find better that are old than some of the newer games
