Those look pretty good, I wonder what the ingame purpose of them is going to be? Might've been mentioned in the audio, my speakers are on the fritz.

Itzena · 03-07-2007, 02:26 PM

Oh hey, one of them has the same hairstyle as EVE-Itzena.
Amarr manginas FTW and whatnot.

That's some nice character design. The other MMO devs could learn a thing or two from CCP.

Sancus · 03-07-2007, 02:34 PM

Looks really good, but kinda remains to be seen if there will be any interesting gameplay associated with it.

Yeah, if they can make the characters look that good on the Trinity engine, what is World of Darkness going to look like?

WoD.. can't wait

That's probably in dx10 with the new dx10 engine overhaul, though.

Im eager for it but honestly not surprised that it looks so good, ccp art has always been great especially considering the original games art still looks pretty good today 3+ years after release and how low budget they were at the time.

I wonder if people will have pregen'd avatars off their current portraits or if they will let people go back and redesign how their char looks for this... imo this is a huge change that i think they should let people change the looks on their chars when they release it.

Gonna assume that was a caldari male towards the end and if so they look very typical for space captains and i wish i was caldari now =(

Make the Titans boardable, FPS style. Give them a unique weakness.

1) almost certain that you'll need to redesign your avatar once this goes live

2) as for gameplay? ccp has stated that it will be possible to play the game in its entirety without ever utilizing this 'feature', so its more of a gimmick

3) this is the kind of 'gimmick' i love, and that makes me love CCP. those are gorgeous graphics, and the level of immersion that would accompany this? unthinkable. How huge will the eve world feel, if every station has a large and tangible interior? Just wow.

ZeckEQ · 03-07-2007, 02:57 PM

It's my understanding that there will be some gameplay elements added in for this feature set, you just don't have to use them and they won't replace any current functionality, just add.

And it looks real good. Thinking Eve might make me finnaly do that comp upgrade tho.

That will never happen. But that is precisely the kind of game I've wanted to play for ages, I don't care if its an MMO, RTS, TBS, or what, but give me an option to switch to FPS for a bit and i'll be hooked for life.

I know it'll never happen, it's a pipedream

It would be incredible, though. A fleet battle raging around a Titan in distress while teams of commandos move towards the bridge?

It's actually kind of amusing that FoH has been hijacked by all these EvE threads. "We can't poopsock along the treadmill? Time-based skills? BLASPHEMY."

But yeah, looks well-done. Shame it will probably force me into a Vista upgrade, which I'd been hoping to put off until well into 2009.
