Torfi Frans Olafsson: "You have to eat and sleep. If you're not eating and sleeping, you don't care what's on TV tonight," he said. "We were focusing on things at the top of that pyramid instead of the basics, and now we're doing both."

Does this statement, the creative director Torfi Frans Olafsson project, that in the near future -í-í-á still come back to the development of what was promised back in December of this year, followed by unlocking, door to exit kapsulerov of his close and pretty overexposed cabins, into the unknown labyrinth of mysterious and inviting stations?

Where is this from?

Probably from this interview... http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/06/05/e3-2012-ccp-says-it-wants-eve-to-be-around-in-10-20-30-years/

Most current hardware is pushed to support one avatar in one room, let alone a cocktail party in the station lounge. I am betting they are shelving WiS to give hardware a chance to catch up, at least as much as any other reason.

Ugh, articles like this really tick me off. Like the interviewer says: "CCP attempted to add bipedal human avatars to its spaceship game last year before being met with organized player resistance that caused the developer to temporarily shelve its grander plan." That is not even close to what happened. Had there been actual content there, instead of a room with nothing to do in it, and perhaps NEX store not implemented in the same patch, things would have been very different. Makes it sound like players were just against avatars for the sake of it, which is bunk, many EVE players myself included want meaningful avatar gameplay and have been dreaming about it for years. Just not at the cost of the rest of the game.

as in emoting dress up is low on the hierarchy sad but true

Quoting for emphasis. Incarna was barely even a tech demo. We weren't mad that CCP did something other than a total focus on spaceships (okay, most of us weren't), we were mad because the thing that had been hyped for months was a complete non-event. Worse than that, it was something that bogged down the player experience. This combined with the total lack of respect from CCP caused the uprising and exodus; not the fact that we had pretty avatars now. I still want to see WiS done right.

Torfi is likely referring to a psychological theory named Maslow's hierarchy of needs modified to deal with game development. The "basic" needs of humanity - breathing, food, etc (being able to install, log in, fly ships), must be attained before focus or desire of progression up the hierarchy is attained.

dust just got that feature....

I'm pretty sure my pc beats out my PS3 in hardware specs...
