Infinity Pre-Alpha Tech Demo April 2010 - Part 1

[@Zagupi]

This is still, even after 10 years, really impressive

[@obsolettuce]

Every single screencap you take in that game could be an artwork. Seriously. This is art.

[@--Arthur]

"Oh cool in space with a picture of a planet in the background" *Flies closer to planet* "Oh cool but he forgot the astroids" *Astroids comes* "Astroids are much bigger" *Lands on astroid* "Well the planet is fake.." *Flies closer to planet* "Alright he got me there, but it's probably gonna render some bullshit and look stupid" *Skies begins to move* "Yeah but all on the planet is probably squarish" *Planet smooth* . . This game impressed me A LOT :oo Though I had everything figured out from the start xD

[@DazzaKris]

This video should have millions and millions of views. How does something with so much potential and this unique not get out.

[@c1rcamaster]

Someone help, i can't pick my jaw up off the floor. This was put out *four* years ago? Why don't we have anything close to this out now? Oh yeah that's right because most "gamers" are idiots that don't even demand groundbreaking innovation and just buy yearly rehashes of crap (COD). LOL I know this takes time to develop and release to the masses but damn I want something like this yesterday. I wish big developers around today would get behind this. I guess they're lazy or incompetent.

[@DazzaKris]

Yea I knew about this a few years ago, and recently thought about it so I was like oh hey lets check it out I bet it looks more amazing. Nope. A kickstarter is happening soon so hopefully that means maybe in another 4 years time it will make more progress.

[@RyuTsuka]

Oui ! la communauté des joueurs de maintenant ne sont que des pauvres enfant stupide qui je savent rien des vrais jeux et les créateurs incompétents sorte véritablement des merdes comme un Zelda ou Dragon quest en version dynasty warriors -_- des COD , LOL , Destiny bref des jeux nul sans aucun contenue , souvenir , histoire intéressent , en résumer = des jeux pour enfants stupide de 7ans - 15ans . et les adultes de maintenant sont encore pire que des petites fille qui joue à la poupées .

[@Blenzo480]

We have this and we have had it for years! 22 years! Frontier: Elite II 1993 :P. A modern...er game with this mechanic is Shores of Hazeron! lol. Okay not really.

[@ShoveDaddy]

Dangerous Era Elite: Dangerous has me totally hooked right about now. Total slow burn space adventure, better grab a beer and have a bit of patience but once your stuck in there's nothing quite like it.

[@MarkHoltze]

Honestly this is just UNBELIEVABLE! I imagined this type of thing way back in the xwing days with my 14 year old imagination. No idea 15 years later it would appear to be coming true. Outstanding achievements ... this could really bring about a new interest in space combat/exploration games.

[@TheFilipFonky]

Vaporware.

[@msndokaralho]

Man, that is the most impressive sense of scale in a video game I've ever seen in my life. Congratulations, you just blew my mind.

[@DeanGetYourWings]

I come back to this video at least 5 times a year to remind myself of its epicness. I hope they can do a small playable demo like this one that just lets you roam a planet and small section of space for 2012, until then i can look forward to it :)

[@samedmond]

That cockpit looks gorgeous, if every ship in the game had one that well made I might die of pleasure. Incredible work, simply amazing.

[@MarkHoltze]

The rings from the planet view are amazing! The whole project looks VERY promising well done and hope to see this come to fruition someday.

[@Alix1723]

This is unbelievable how far games have progressed like this. Instead of having a fake background or skybox now there are no boundaries or limits to exploration. Truly ingenious, I can't wait for this!

[@Saatanan]

man, I remember being blown away by this when I first saw it 12 years ago. Still pretty blown away now.

[@aaron8862006]

Breathtaking. Absolutely shocking work. I've never been more impressed with a computer game engine. You guys are doing the impossible. Keep going!

[@cosmoblivion]

Please keep us updated on the kickstarter. This project is ART! truly beautiful and should come to fruition.

[@12punisher12]

For being still heavily a work in progress, that was absolutely amazing.

[@MeltdownInteractive]

Impressive! Good luck with this project, looking forward to seeing it and playing it in all its glory.

[@Matsute]

Absolutely amazing. This is one of the things I've always wanted to do in a space themed game.

[@afflictiveknight1822]

I see this and cry , not just because its amazingly beautiful , but also for the uncertainty if ever it manages to be released. From me You have my full support .

[@xenochrist15]

I honestly didn't think a game like this would ever be made. This is amazing to say the least!

[@HyruleExplorer1992]

Hey guys, I really want to say that this is Pure Art!!! Please, keep going with this work, It'll be wonderful at the end. And if you aren't planning to release this, please, make at least a demo, even just with this planetary system. I think everyone would love to spend time on that ship...

[@ke4zz]

omg... that is beautiful..... THIS GAME MUST WIN AWARDS FOR NOT EVEN BEING OUT YET!

[@ScottJohnCaile]

Amazing, just amazing. I really wish that you could play this game in first person too, transport other players, interact with planetary elements and actually see your player, but I guess that's just too much to ask for from a single developer. A lot of respect to him for getting this far though, can't wait to play this on it's release!

[@SonicSidewinder]

Checking back after about a year. Still beautiful. It can't come soon enough.

[@MentalParadox]

that music... so beautiful. This game will be a gaminf revolution, with a world this massive!

[@thefrub]

I just watched Incursus' streams on this, I can't believe this game has been in Alpha for 9 years

[@punkwasher]

Just flying in and out of the atmosphere is enough for me to buy this game. Okay, maybe not enough, but it's the damn most impressive thing I've seen in a while.

[@sbrizio75]

This is the greatest thing i ever saw in a videogame... thanks! I hope you'll publish it soon!!

[@areiacreations]

This has such a Privateer feel into it and it's therefore an instant winner.

[@Jarlravn]

At first I thought it looked quite alright, it had nice and realistic looking scenery. Then the ship approached the ring and as I started seeing all the particles being rendered, I was amazed. But that wasn't enough - then the ship entered the bloody atmosphere and that was simply.. Well I'm at a loss for words. Hadn't expected that kind of depth. Really amazing looking game. If this is released, it'd be a dream come true.

[@Trancecend]

I'm gonna tripple the amount I usually kickstart with for this one. It clearly deserves it.

[@ryuszero-old]

Wow, and this was almost a year ago. I need to play this game, like yesterday. I don't remember the last time I looked forward to something this much. Must share....

[@DjInsomnia420]

That is hands down the most amazing thing I have ever seen in the history of gaming. TAKE MY MONEY!

[@JScivlancer1]

looks incredible, the music fits perfectly with the theme

[@MrReece4]

this game is amazing. Gives me hope that one day our planet wont be the only 1 that we can explore. the view when it enters the planet and you look on the horizon still see space and the sun etc... im speechless! love it

[@Irskaa]

Very nice tech demo. A layer of clouds would be really awesome but hell I'd settle for this if this ever comes out.

[@doomcookies]

This may be the most beautiful space game I have ever seen.

[@Z31Turbo]

for some reason the thing that gets me excited the most isn't the beautiful graphics, but when he clicks stars in the back ground it's not just a prerendered backdrop; they are ACTUAL stars, that if he were to keep flying to them would eventually come into full view with their own solar system! Soo hott.

[@EmperorJonTC]

I have followed the development of this engine for some years, and just decided to come back, see if there were any news updates, and watch this video again. One day, I'm sure, they will release it. Even if the project dies, you must remember the amount of time it's taken for them to make this. It would no doubt be passed on to somebody else. They wouldn't just throw it away.

[@KlaresGedenken]

...The most awesome thing about this video is how he clicks the stars in the background and they acutally are STARS and not just pictures(as you can see in .2:35). meaning that you can fly to them .. daaamnit im gonna spend weeks on this once it comes out.

[@seijuruhiko]

The prospects of a scifi mmo are staggering with these video can't hardly wait to see where this goes.

[@HeavenlyShogun]

OMG!!!! You can enter the planet from the space in such a smooth and realistic way. If Mass Effect had this kind of things, it would be the BEST GAME EVER!!!. I really hope that this tech demo becomes a game really soon, because it looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[@DavianHeartley]

true, there's no game there yet.. but if you read their posts and progress update you'll find that they are progressing. Kickstarter will start soon, so hopefully this project will get more attention. I'm impressed with what a handful of people have managed so far without funding.

[@Neceros]

I remember this. It was amazing then and it still is now.

[@ircimager]

a very ambitious project,t o be sure. looking forward to it's progress

[@cynicaldemon]

Amazing. Just amazing. I would pay so much for this experience.

[@Worhan]

I thought its pretty nice during the first half, but my jaw dropped when they landed on the planet. This will be amazing!

[@visnyliss]

But no really. When I saw how absolutely beautiful everything was... I almost cried from happiness knowing that this was in progress. I can't WAIT

[@kdwormy]

This is incredible. I hope the game adds more ticks of realism such as non-infinite fuel (albeit massively efficient), atmospheric physics (friction, gravity, etc.), planetary geology, and realistic vs. modified lighting in space, and slightly more realistic distances compensated by higher movement velocities.

[@TheLololwut]

6:11 was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a video game ever.

[@diegowushu]

This was fucking amazing. Congrats to all involved, hope the ks is successful, you guys deserve it, just by comparison with all the vaporware that ends up there.

[@snarper]

Wow... this is beautiful... I got shivers down my spine wile watching... I am definitely going to play this... dam...

[@Blellowdb]

This is a game idea that I've bing waiting for over the last seven years now, I found it.

[@ladyattis]

@PureMatteo Remember, it's pre-alpha in that particular sequence. They're working on all aspects of the game. Especially since it started as a one-man project to see what the limits were to procedural generation of star systems in a shared virtual environment.

[@M80313]

amazing this is what ive wanted from a game forever

[@minhajnyc]

Quite possibly the most beautiful pre-alpha footage I've ever seen. This is what Eve online should've been.

[@red86guy40]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Let me know when this comes out!

[@hartsickdisciple]

this looks amazing so far.

[@medallish]

This looks amazing! Screw everything else, just give me this and I will explore the planets for hours :P. Really impressive, I really look forward to seeing this game.

[@vazzmatazz]

I hope the camera never changes, or that at least the current camera style/controls will remain available as an option.

[@UnknownXV]

Funny how a pre-alpha version of this game gives me more hope than most of the supposedly "finished" games on the market now. This just looks breath taking.

[@projectplaylist999]

omfg i cant belive my eyes, my dreams have came true thank you dev

[@nosferatu5]

Seeing this got me thinking,what if you got into battle,got destroyed and say you start floating in space in some kind off scafander. And someone would need to rescue you,like catch some sos signal,go check it out,and then find you.I went to check out their homepage, and saw that their are planning to make this feature. Mind blown.They are really putting their heart into this game. Such detail is really great for those who can appreciate it.Might be too much for a regular mainstream folk though.

[@retir0x]

All I can say is: HOLY SH*** I've always dreamed of a space game where you can actually descend into planets and where the space is actually huge, ... I even can't find words for how awesome I find this.

[@DanialZahin]

oh my god the part when the ship just went into the planet's atmosphere was beautiful.

[@superrezekiel]

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS YET?! The ring around the planet blew my goddamn mind. I have a huge, very real fear of being stranded to die out in space and this video effectively gave me chills with how well it ignites that fear in me.

[@blazendz]

oh god I hope this comes out during my lifetime and is as awesome as it seems, exploring the galaxy in my little ship....

[@whoandtheha]

However, I am really impressed with the gigantic level of detail of the entire planet throughout. THAT is amazing. Imagine what The Elder Scrolls could do with it...

[@dash1141]

Got a little emotional watching this. Amazing.

[@Tobiasplease]

How is this even possible??? So amazing.

[@NoNamenoonehere]

finally a game that is maybe worthy of the better then elite title and showing us what is next in this type of game

[@LotusRedDragon]

Holy shit the perspective man. The Perspective!

[@DontDoubtThomas]

We really need more games like this...you know the space sci-fi adventure strategy games. If only somebody could fund this project!

[@huswsimonbla]

damn look at the horizon at 6:25 and ongoiong.. and awesome looking demo hope that game will be out soon I wished/waited for this since I can remember a game to explore stars/universe! just awesome!

[@AVGVSTVS219]

this is breathtaking

[@PjKneisel]

i want to support this game in anyway i can, amazing

[@Caolderick]

Seamless planetary engine blows my mind every time I see it...

[@NexusCool1]

OMFG! landscape looks so good

[@zellfalcon31]

The part where he flies right up to the asteroid had me tripping balls. They didn't look that big at first. This game will be amazing.

[@kikomiko1]

I can imagine this game being like Endless Ocean, just exploring things, appreciating their beauty, not fucking killing everything you see for once.

[@NimbleBard48]

I saw him closing in on the planet and I was like: "There's no way he's gonna land on the planet" And then he goes through the atmosphere and starts flying over the terrain and I am like: "O_O" The moment he's going through the atmosphere with that view on the horizon is astonishing!

[@Arcterion]

I am very high and this is one of the most mindblowing things I have ever seen.

[@chromosome24]

@Kvokki i dont think outerra has anything to worry about. alterra and infinity are two really great engines that offer what the other does not. For example outerra's planet gen system is WAAAY more realistic/detailed than infinity since its working with actual terrain data, but infinity has multiple planets. gives the customer more flexibility to do what they are intending to do imo.

[@TheBehattedOne]

This is PRE-ALPHA. Meaning really young. Imagine what the final product is gonna look like...

[@Godisen007]

Looks stunning!! But a little motion blur wouldn't be all wrong. And maybe some objects on the planets? It would take so long, but it would be oh SO GREATLY EPICLY APPRICIATED to play a game like this, with actual gameplay! :D

[@jimmysgameclips]

This nearly brings tears to my eyes, crikey

[@STUVash]

Btw the song used in the two parts is "Embrace" by SoulEye (great man too)

[@JAnx01]

You guys created universe that creates itself. You created life! OMG, I cannot believe it! Are you gods?

[@KatieKat223]

Them flying marks in the sky...space crafts...make me feel...lonely...

[@user-fr8gu2fk5p]

I hope we can land and walk with a character for the surface, mining or collecting things, visiting small cities with merchants, etc.

[@TheAndrewGorny]

everything seems to look right to me, but I'm basing that on the fact that when supervolume objects that large are in view, we experience an element of perspective we never get to see. What you just saw is a close perspective on an object traveling very quickly through a space past very large objects that are way out of normal perspective.

[@KulakxFilms]

holy shit, that asteroid was so much bigger than i thought, i sooo want to play this soo badly

[@UEArchvizTools]

They are now planning to put it on kickstarter... They just don't know when yet though. Likely it will be in february, after the tech demo to be realised. Keep you informed on the forum, there's a sticked topic about that.

[@YoungSlim51]

Can you imagine if the planetary exploration and travel (not including relay travel. I did love the galaxy map and would say definitely keep it!) in the mass effect series was similar to this, PLUS THE STORYLINE?! Granted I'm fully aware of company time restrictions, hardware restrictions (including but not the least of which, storage space), and other issues. Regardless, it would be amazing. In addition to the story, being able to land on other planets and just poke around definitely hooked me.

[@Jaelvin]

beautiful, just beautiful

[@dapickleman33]

this... this made me cry...

[@TheoMarkAllen]

this is the future of video games.

[@cotycrg]

I really hope this becomes more than a "you have a spaceship, go shoot stuff" kind of game. I think it would be extremely amazing if they used this engine to do several different games. Think Solar 2, but on a much larger, and more realistic scale. (Throwing around debris, making planets, stars, and even galaxies at will). Another neat thing they could do is make something sort of like the space stage on Spore, but not as empty and boring. The possibilities are endless.

[@indivestor]

Simply the best MMO in development

[@oscarandren]

Infinity Battlescape is out in prerelease on steam based on this engine.
