Holy.

Crap.

The videogame polygon budget is dead. Long live the videogame polygon budget. Did you see the part about halfway through? Half-Life 3 could show us a Combine-homeworld City 01 that goes on forever like the mind-city at the end of Inception if it wanted to.

Wow

Beware, Brigade currently runs on the highest end Nvidia hardware. And since Moore's Law no longer really holds since the Pentium 4 days (*), it may take literally forever until that kind of engine can run on our mobile phones. Having said that, I am also a believer in realtime raytracing. I am just not convinced that tracing ever more rays is the one true way of beating rasterization.



* We transitioned from an exponential phase into a linear phase around the inflection point of a saturation curve, and from here we will "soon" transition into a final phase of ever slower asymptotical saturation.

I believe real-time raytracing for games will come in 8-10 years. We could have enough computing power on the best computers in 2-3 years, on every PC in 5-6, but we'll have to wait until the next generation of consoles (PS5, XBOX.. ehm... 1440) for games using these techniques. I cannot see how a game producer could develop two different engines for one game. sad

But I hope some brave minor team can publish something in the next 5 years!
