So we've had an Incarna teaser trailer last year, but Tyrannis is the order of the day for the summer expansion. Does anyone else find it a little disappointing that CCP are still putting off Incarna after hyping it up last year? -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

I've been disappointed for a couple of years, they've been dangling walking in stations for around 4 years. However word is it is the Winter Expansion to coincide with the release of the FPS game that ties into EVE, it appears based on what little they've released this could be a lead in expansion of planetary items so that they are in place for when Dusk 514 comes out so there is something for the mercs to do.
 Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts.

At fanfest CCP said they were aiming Incarna for release this winter and not summer and Plantary interaction was due out in the summer expansion.
I'm more than happy to wait for Incarna from what they said in the presentations WiS is using alot of new technology that havent been used in other games to make it more spectacular. IIRC one example was light that actually "bounces" around a room taking the colour of the surface with it, so a green wall with a down light will give the room a green glow.
On time meh WiS or Late but very shiny WiS
Shiny wins everytime

What are you talking about?
Last year they already pointed out the roadmap: winter 2009 -> dominion, summer 2010 -> planetary interaction, winter 2010 -> incarna/walking in stations |

IMO Incarna will come shortly after Dust. It would make sense to reuse the core engine, at least clientside. _____

Yes just clothes...that's it!! Incarna is nothing more than a glorified virtual fashion show with out the coke addicts and cotton wool eating supermodels (the best bits imo).
It will not provide the basis for strategic battle planning on fancy displays, it will not have bars, corp/alliance/shop fronts, interactive NPC agents, it will not widen the appeal of a niche game and it certainly wont make being camped in a station more interesting.

I am really EAGER to see those minigames there.
It would be totally AWESOME if CCP would make a starcraft clone as minigame available in Incarna. 
That alone would be worth it!

as as die hard pvp'r and serious manufacturer(carebear w/teeth) I seriously hope you are just talking smack. Pretty much everything you said that won't be in incarna will be there including:
purchasing bars w/ controllable npc servants.
Eventual if not immediate actual face to face meetings with dust players in stations
a whole slew of other neat stuff that will, at the very LEAST make docking a new experience.
What a lot of you guys don't understand is this:
1. More subject matter = more immersion. Put simply more stuff to do. Will it be something you like? Who cares what you or I like as long as it provides depth. Eventually they will get around to putting content into the game you like and in time you may find the once dull content invigorating.
2. Incarna is an initial step. Alot of what ccp is doing has a purpose. Planetary farmville as some of you call it will eventually tie into the fps dust. Incarna will tie in as well.
Epic sh!*.
Some of you probably are of the I want it now thinking. Example being..."I wanna shoot people in stations otherwise it's just the su*k." or "if I have to mine a planet it sucks unless I can enter orbit and shell that bitc* i'm competing with into oblivion."
to that I only can say patience is a virtue and so is not being such a nim rod on forums about how free content sucks. |

Tyrannis is the first probably of many necessary patches to allow CCP further develop the whole planetary interaction planned for Incarna.
with Dust 514 planned to be linked into Eve some time in the future existing planets will need to have infrastructure on them. So while we will be building up our new colonies, ccp will be measuring the extra loads on servers to determine which aspects need boosting so that when Dust 514 is eventually merged the game wont grind to a halt due to insane lag.

Ah, but they say they will add all these things, but by the time it's been pre-nerfed, and all the things they did't have time to code left out, it will end up just clothes.
And maybe mirrors.

Clothing is really the only thing they've mentioned for it.
Please share with us what ambulation features they've announced.
If you sit down and read it we knownothing about ambulation. They have not released a game design. Not a single feature has been announced.
All the hype is based on wishful thinking.

Originally by: SupaKudoRio It would make sense to reuse the core engine, at least clientside.
I really doubt that the Incarna engine could make a good core of an FPS game, at least at its current level. Besides, it would have been pretty difficult for the Shanghai team to develop a game using a half-baked engine.
Which is why DUST uses the Unreal 3.0 Engine, while Incarna uses the engine they've developed in-house. I'm also pretty sure that the two will have pretty significant differences under the hood as far as client-server interaction code goes. -----

ITT: people who demand WIS and will then complain that its horribly unbalanced and should die when it finally releases.
Also, water is wet sky is blue.
The people discussing this will never be pleased by anything CCP does because its not the EXACT thing these individuals wish the game had. Usually something involving a near total redesign or some mechanic that is easily exploitable and horribly unbalanced for everyone except them.
This discussion is a circle jerk. Its done when its done. All the time theyre taking is most likely for introducing preliminary game mechanics or patches in order to make it more balanced when it comes out. Not a single eve expansion has been balanced enough before release that it hasnt required adjustment after exposure to the mass-testing playground that is the sandbox.
Remember in the WIS video we saw a demo of a "risk-like" strategy game people can play in bars? Remember the mechs and tanks? How did you think they would justify that in the game? Obviously those mechs and tanks are something we will see in use on planets. Putting that content in BEFORE WIS comes out makes more sense on so many levels. If every mechanic WIS relies on and takes advantage of has already been in-game, live-tested and tweaked for usefulness it will make WIS all that more balanced when it finally releases.
tl;dr harden the **** up.

Well, CCP doesn't have to add it to EVE. It just happens to be a really good move.
You see, a while back CCP acquired an American company called White Wolf - thereby getting their Icelandic mittens on one of the most valuable items of Intellectual Property yet untapped by the MMO industry (and also one that fits perfectly with the Vampire craze that struck pop culture some time later), namely the World of Darkness.
It soon became pretty clear that CCP would be developing a WoD MMO, which is awesome! CCP totally knows how to run quirky niche-games, so this should be a great match. The biggest issue is that CCP's only previous MMO is based on code that is completely tailored for it and practically impossible to recycle into a different MMO (you see, one of the few ways for software companies to make profits is to find ways to reuse code). Thus, CCP started developing a new game engine that could be used for the WoD game - an engine that could do everything that the Trinity engine couldn't, like full-body avatars and guff like that.
Having learned from their mistakes, this new engine is built to be broadly applicable - so that they can reuse it in a multitude of projects, upgrade it almost indefinitely and customize it wildly for different styles. In order to make a profit out of this massive undertaking, CCP decides that this could be the perfect opportunity to add a big slice of functionality to EVE. It's been on their drawing-board for so long that the ink is probably impossible to erase from the whiteboard, and both existing players and (most importantly) potential players have voiced requests for something like this to be included for years!
CCP thus decides to apply the engine to two separate projects - something that is exceedingly common in the gaming industry because of how ludicrously expensive and time-consuming it is to develop game engines from scratch - and use it for both the WoD MMO and Incarna. This way, CCP is making great use of its investment, progressing on a sure-to-be-popular project and adding value to an existing project.
That is why Incarna is the exact opposite of a "waste of time."
EDIT: inb4 "we pay them to develop EVE, not other projects" ignorance cavalcade. -----

What is the matter with all you people going on and on and on about Incarna, you really want to walk around and play dress-up?
Go play Second Life or get some Barbie dolls or something...
Yeah, I don't get it either. I think Incarna or whatever is a complete waste of time.
It is typically considered good manners to, when one does not "get it", refrain from commenting.
Sorry, I'll make sure not to rattle my zipper next time so you don't come and flap your lips.
