They did mention it was research. It's not really supposed to be implemented like tomorrow or something. Besides, harddrive space increases in a incredible pace. I wouldn't be surprised if it became doable within the next 5-7 years.
It'll probably require a beast of a computer/console when those games come out, though. But then again, most past and current modern games did/do.

8-bit FTW!
Screw that! If I'm spending $60 for a game I want that crap to look real!
ID Softwares John Carmack on the subject
"Last night I asked Carmack why he thinks it'll take 5 years for something like the Unlimited Detail demo to be feasible, and he kindly explained, also outlining his own plans for a voxel renderer:
"You can real time ray trace a static world on high end hardware today as a demo, but there is a long path between a demo and something that is competitive with rasterization in a real product. My plan for such technologies has always been to emit a depth buffer as well as color from the voxel/point cloud renderer and continue to use existing technologies for characters/particles/etc.
"It took us five years to go from a megatexture demo to a (almost) shipping game."
So in 5 years, we may see something like Unlimited Detail... only there's a good chance it'll come from Carmack's id Software."
New World Notes: John Carmack on Euclideon's Unlimited Detail Demo, Notch's Reaction To It & Carmack's Own Plans for a Voxel Renderer
Besides, this technology is bound to be fully implemented later because of the consolization of games. There is no game built from the ground up to make use of DX10/11 for example.
Since a console is only released like every 5 years.... : /
Off topic, the one game from 2007 still tops those released 4 years later.

Or possibly a 3rd option: PTSD. Why join the army when you can traumatize yourself in the comfort of your own home? Or be afraid of weird monsters jumping out at you because weird monsters are always jumping out at you.
Just imagine the horrors of the Aliens franchise on such a system.

This is a mod i was making for Crysis a while ago, the goal was to make a super realistic looking forest environment.
How the heck can you make that with a computer program? Its good enough that it looks real until you look especially closely.

Wow good job Blabla!
Sadly i had to abandon this project , the thread is still alive here :

Low poly models with hi resolution textures , and the right lighting and a good eye for small details , simple as that !
