Seamless Planetary Landing Video

http://www.infinity-universe.com/

Prototype video of seamless, planetary landing.

This video is one of the first demonstrations of the seamless, planetary procedural engine.

The camera starts in orbit around a space station. After a little while, the camera starts to descend seamlessly on a Gaian ( Earth-like ) planet, reavealing a gas giant with its ring in the atmosphere.

Note: this video has been accelerated a bit. The planet has a realistic scale, and the atmosphere is as thin as Earth is in reality ( which is surprising to a lot of people ). Planetary details, such as forests, are missing.

It wasn't an object. The camera in the video has no physical form.

I've been watching this game develop for a long time and if they really put into it the features they say, i think it will be better than any of the other sci-fi space games out there.

In this game can you play in space in spaceship, play on land and use vehicles and use aicraft?

If you can that would be awesome!

@raiderodeath123 They might not make a guaranteed profit. MMO's cost LOADS of money to make, between 40-60 million dollars. You wouldn't want to lose that much money if it bombs, so why try in the first place? the Infinity team is doing this to push the boundaries of gaming, and maybe make a profit.

Why don't big companies with large amounts of resources build games like this instead of the yearly COD series or WoW updates coming every few months and updates every other year? Why don't they push the envelope and develop games that are truly breathtaking, like Infinity?

@darkling9109 Eve has costs. Those costs don’t just vanish because you want them to. Those costs won't just pop out of existence if CCP suddenly sais, I know, we should provide Eve for free. They’re already better than most MMOs for providing free expansions (see WoW). Either you end up with a poor quality product, or you find a way of having a high quality product paid for by sustainable means. CCP has gone with subscriptions, and is now one of the oldest surviving MMOs, and still it's growing.

@Naibasaki I'm not an expert by any means, but the thing is plenty of games out there host tons of people at once without screwing people over.
