Be that as it may XP is still one of the most stable Windows operating systems around and many companies still use it.

If it take curple years only for teselation i say no, in curple years they can write whole new engine form basic... Teselation is brand new technology most of teselation presentation exist only in demos, even not in full games.

If it bleed we can kill it.

Problem is...when it comes time to phase out the old graphics we will be having the same argument with the same people who still havn't upgraded and expect us all to cater to them and never improve the graphics.
That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is it would be nice if developers could do more with the resources at hand instead of asking people to shell out the price of a video game console for a tiny lil graphics card.

The problem is, all the cool stuff they want to do like Tesselation, that improves not only graphical quality but enables them to improve several aspects of gameplay, do require said upgrades.


Hell thats the NATURE of gaming on a PC. Upgrade or die

Win 7 is the new XP and its being herald as such. If you need to update, that's the OS to aim for if you want to continue on the Windows route.

XP SP3 officially dies in 2014.

Also Macs about to enter a new nasty stage in its life that only the most popular OS's suffer from. Hacking, Viruses, and Exploited holes galore! I am currently laughing at all the previous customers at the store who came to insultingly tell me the superiority of protection of Macs I have refused to service or sell.

oh yeah? well Macs have no vir....

I always thought that was a funny argument. Its not that the machines are super secure, its they were never big enough of a market share for the writers to care

If this isn't going to burn my old system, than yes, definitely. But if this made the game somehow unplayable due to the drop of fps or even if my pc even refuses to start Eve, well, then it's a no.

The game has to evolve. That is pretty much the biggest reason why i see Eve getting new players in years, it didn't stop its advance.
But it's not only graphical issue. Many UI interfaces and game mechanics will need adjusting in years, because either their gameplay design or visual design are becoming obsolete. That is what i am most looking forward. Not graphics - eve was allways on par here - but how will the actual ship handeling and playing the game look like.

while yes it is neat looking, i wold rather them develop something other then filler content. eve is good on graphics for the next 3 years no need to improve it right now.

Want me to shut up? Remove content from my post,1B. Remove my content from a thread I have started 2B.

You're getting this backwards. In video games the work in progress version from preview videos always looks a minimum of 500% better than the version the players actually get.

Yes why would you not, unless its a hardware/cash thing then you should have the ability to still play with older hardware /software, but that should not stop the game moving forwards.

It makes sense to want to upgrade from a business view point, to keep competing with other mmo's and as we all know and love internet spaceships is serious bushiness.

Since the majority of players clearly want this graphics upgrade, I am curious to know if CCP has looked at a timeframe for making it happen and how they might plan to fit it into the schedule?
