Was considered a scam back then..lets see what the future brings =)

#6 Really? Took me some time to think what to answer to such a wonderfull comment..i really had a hard time deciding a reasonable answer. After throwing aways the first 3 drafts and meditate a bit..i had a sip of my beer and thought to keep it simple:

Are you that stupid or is this a failed trolling attempt?
Go home..youre drunk.

#8 Yup.. the use for games in this kind of detail is far from reality. The only thing possible atm is using terabytes of data and compress them in a way that its lag free streamable for things similar to google streetview (just a tiny fraction of the point cloud gets loaded into the RAM..so there isnt even a need for a killer GPU..work can be done in the CPU (Multicore ofc). But to take this video as example..the lights are and for now will be static, no animated objects etc.. So till this will be used in games..a decade may pass. A simple game would need to be sold on its own harddrive if you think that some games today already need 20gb =P

What i see a nice use for at first would be with the Oculus. A complete scan of places like the church or other impressive buildings..or museums..or other building you will never see in your life. Or maybe for the CGI movie industry like pixar..saves a lot of rendering time
I still see it as tech demo..but 10 years ago nobody could imagine what 4K games look like today..and it slowly becomes standart now..computer tech grows expotentional no doubt =P

Guess Rapists and mass murders have to wait a bit till they get proper training..esp rapists need so much training..they cant train without a good video game
