    64 bit was big news when 64 bit processors came out.. if CIG is making it a news about their 'engine', it's pretty sad.
    No its 64 bit space which allows for nearly infinite parameters.  Right now the space parameters for everyone is 11-15KM.  Noone has successfully went very far beyond this.  CIG is claiming they can do 10 million KM.  That is quite significant and yes its a breakthrough and very newsworthy once it has been proven.
    Are you high? Like, right now?

    Have you played any of the Battlecruiser or Universal Combat games? No? How about Elite Dangerous? No? How about Infinity Battlescape? No? Right. Have you heard of a game called No Man's Sky?


    I guess I can go into this to help explain things.  

    http://massivelyop.com/2015/10/21/ascents-lead-dev-offers-insight-on-the-star-citizen-controversy/

    This guy talks about how he did it pulling things into 32 bit space and shrinking them so they appear to be millions of Km away.  He also shows the problems CIG faces and how it is a major breakthrough.

    Then we have crytek engineers talking about it here.  And they are saying it is revolutionary.

    And here we have one of our own explaining what AMD recently did to help engineers develop games to solve all kinds of problems.  Scroll down to the 7th post from Quiz

    Are you onto something or just on something?

    I heard if you buy another ship they'll maybe show it to you in a pre-rendered trailer at E3 in 2018.
    Personally, i think Jesus will return before this game comes out.

    @filmoret ;

    Thanks for the links, i don't have the willpower or time to have had tried to find them, especially a discussion between  the ascent guy and some more people from  the industry on reddit, which inspired that massively post.

    Wish i had eidetic memory, so i could link it :(
