CitySpace, Second Life Meets MySpace? -- From creator of MySpace
What I saw in that video was unbelievable, I can't help but wonder how much computer power would be needed to make it work? I'm not up to speed on what sort of specs would be needed by the average user.
I do think though it looked cool as hell and already started imagining the horrors that could be inflicted by the masses upon that halpless metropolis.
That looks amazing, and the whole server-side rendered sounds godly; too good to be true..
But just looking at it.. oh man..
I remember an MMO that was announced 8 or 9 years ago that proclaimed it was going to "eliminate lag" through coding wizardry. It sounded too good to be true and it never came out. I'm applying that lesson here.

Wow, that is impressive as hell, I've always wanted to see a game that could render persistant worlds like these with such smooth transitions, and this server side rendering is pretty phenominal too.
So, is there no way to incorporate 4chan and neogaf?
Edit: And I call BS on that video, no way will any computer be able to move around that in realtime. If that was possible we would not be getting it from MySpace.
I can see why people would be skeptical of this product, and I share that opinion, however, if this thing comes out and its half of what that video explained, it will threaten all social networking websites on the net, a lot of casual play MMO's, and reality as a whole.
Expect a rash amount of lives to be ruined by that.

Okay, I truly do hope this comes out, because it will be a hefty dose of bleach in the gene pool of the Internet. Instead of having to avoid a hundred shitty locations, you just stay away from CityScape and you're done.

So, will it just be like Myspace, where the same two assholes create new accounts to spam you with friend requests that are nothing but adverts for their porn sites? Cause, I totally want more of that.

With the whole wall painting thing, I expect the city to be full of crappy Graffiti in a week. Maybe even giant dongers.
How many people think this is a bad idea? I think it looks pretty cool...
Well, it'll come down to how its maintained, how they deal with grafitti and the art content, and the comunity as a whole. Heres hoping they'll do a good job.

Mainly scepticism. I do not believe what is being said in the video.
The technology allows relatively weak computers (or even mobile phones) to display incredibly detailed graphics comparable to those seen in Hollywood movies.
It's magic!
Hahaha! "So all I have to do is upload my graphics card into my internet browser..."
I guess I'm just skeptical because of the massive shithole that MySpace is. Yes, let's let everyone add all sorts of crap, turning their personal pages into a bulletin board of youtube videos and other annoying web shit.

I think it says something about me that I read that as "Thanks for the A.D.D."
man. i cant wait to come home from work and go sit in my virtual office to run my vitrual business that makes virtual money i can reinvest into my virtual depression-fueled heroin habit
The video is probably bullshot (or at least, something that they mocked up early in development and said "hey, this is the goal. let's try for this"), but cloud computing would probably be viable for making an experience like it on less powerful computers.

I'm more referring to the general idea that if the technology and concept behind something sounds ridiculous and impossible, it's more likely that it is ridiculous and impossible than that the creator of MySpace found the holy grail of internet worlds. It's like when a guy in his basement claims he's discovered cold fusion.
This isn't going to a be a limitless photo-realistic world with infinite user capacity that I can play on the 386 in my closet. More likely, this will be a better looking Second Life.
Most likely, this video was 'leaked' in order to drum up venture capital for the "next big internet thing" that is going nowhere.
Server rendering is possible and blah blah blah is all possible in a web browser the same way you watch a pa strip being drawn or a streaming video of E3.
So it's probable, but I can't think of a server being able to handle a lot of users all at once.

So theoretically you wont need a good computer.
Like, at all.
But just looking at it.. oh man..
My thoughts exactly, Mr. zero
PSN ID : DetectiveOlivaw | TWITTER | STEAM ID | NEVER FORGET
a) It won't look anywhere near as good as in that video and the screenshots produced by OTOY
b) It won't support more than a small amount of concurrent users
c) It won't come out for a decade
d) It'll never come out
Boy you're really goin' out on a limb with these predictions man

My Dreamcast wants to say something, but right now it's thinking.
