I personally say yay. Let's get this thing lit and make eve even more cool to look at then it is now. What do you think?

Edit: It's only a year of a team's work.

Edit 2: CCP if you do this, would you put in the little tool to see if our graphics card could handle this. Like when you were about to release incarna.

Yay offcourse, if mining is going to look like that. This is just freaking awsome.

As long as it does not greatly decrease performance (don't mind a small drop, but it still should be playable on a 1 year old machine) I'm all for it.


As long as CCP doesn't spend two years on it and don't work on anything else and then it turns out to be a useless flop.

Yes! All those details won't go unwasted when most of the players spend more time zoomed out to bracket level. I won't argue that is doesn't look beautiful. It does. But I question the necessity of that level of detail when most of the time the game is being played at a visual scale that it can't be appreciated.

And $400 for a $180 GPU, epic win!

Don't ban me, bro!

Really don't care.

The graphics are fine, they look better than any of the other mmos.

And this is a good point too, as good as EVE looks, I spend most of the time zoomed out enough that any details they add to ships won't be visible.

CCP does not have those kind of resources.

And something that would take a year for most companies takes 10 for CCP.... so no I don't want 10 years of nothing.

edit: seems they announced it... oh well as long as they get those missile launchers out before them idc.

Yay to the graphics renovation. Finally a game I care about would be using tesselation so I can justify the cost of my GTX 580 :D

not everyone plays the game zoomed out to the max all the time, just saying.

Would love to see a video showing the teselation on various structures, ships of various sizes and inside stations to get a better idea of what this new change would bring in regards to performance and quality.

Video was freaking awesome :D
