This engine could be used for a kick-ass RTS game. Something like Supreme Commander, but with the ability to extend your base to space and the moon of the planet. You could have a "space-elevator" unit.

or a Fallout 3 /Oblivion game that covers the whole world....

the fact you can create a whole globe without modelling each and everything in it is gonna be awesome

I bet in the future games will look just like terragen 2

CPU and GPU power is increasing rapidly

indeed!

I'm not sure it would take that much to allow oblivion's engine to catch data from, say, *coogh*le Earth. If the latter is well parametrized that should be... like... easy ?

I'm not sure but I'M pretty ssure Oblivions forests were somewhat generated on the go. I remember watching a video and I'm pretty sure the guy said the forests were never the same each time you came back because they were generated in a different fashion. I do believe though that the actual ground stayed the same, it's just the trees that moved around, but its still a start.

like the most "big-world-games" they use SpeedTree.
Its so awersome I would love to have it for my 3D App XD

If there was a seed (number for random distribution) stored within the terrain cell they could pretty much all have different tree patterns and restore them at the same positions whenever needed. I never played Oblivion, just fallout 3

a new alpha vid - pretty impressive seamless real time universe and landscap tech

Impressive, but aren't the plants features a little big? I mean, the become visible even when you are hundreds of miles above the surface.

Being a fairly active contributor/organiser for this game, I might be able to address the concern that features are too big:
First, these features might be a bit too big for earth, but in this case this isn't earth, its just one of many procedurally generated planets, where gravity could be lower or tectonic activity could result in larger mountains.
Second, this is still in pre-alpha stage, so nothing is set in stone. Whilst not a trivial matter, the code used to generate these mountains is likely to be tweeked further to produce more realistic mountains.
Thrid, its a freeking elite remake where you can seamlessly travel from space to the surface of a planet!!! What more could you want!!??!?!?
