Remember when the EVE art style used to look like this?

Why'd CCP ever give up on things that look like that?

because caldari are the easiest race to V3 - why not just pretend the other races are caldari too?

If anyone on the art team hasn't seen 1984s Dune yet, they may need to be strapped in a chair and be exposed to several repeats of it for artistic indoctrination.

I've seen some of the earlier artwork, and a lot of it seems to have a sort of cyberpunk feel.
I guess CCP gradually came to realise that EVE Online isn't a cyberpunk game, and modified the art accordingly.

Nothing cyberpunk at all about neural implants, neural remapping, informorph psychology, etc. :S Nothing cyberpunk about the plugs on the spinal cords of the characters (that can never be seen anyway.)
EVE's art technology has improved, but the art itself is blander than oatmeal.

That's not really cyberpunk. On it's own that's just sci-fi.

As a reader of William Gibson's fiction since1979 issues of Omni Magazine, I must say that you are most wrong.

I think the OP answered their own question with that link. Who thinks that looks good? Gaudy, poor taste...it looks horrid. No wonder they changed the style.

immortal demigods have awful taste in style? Whodathunk? I mean a regular mortal celebrity will often have tacky over the top tastes. Still though, tacky and over the top beats the k-mart rejects that it got turned into. By a wide margin.

Looks better than the bland gap inspired Avatars we have currently. My Ni Kunni used to looks awesome, but they removed all the awesome options with the new creator. Wish we could get some of that back. Also the Gallente used to look crazy. And ammarians had an option to wear almost a metal suit of armour. That was flipping awesome! Bring back those options again. Never realised it but the OP is right. |

The old art style was not compatible with creating avatars with large breasts.

For a long time CCP adopted the "that'll do" mediocre approach. Lacking balls, vision, artistic quality, excellence and awesomeness. Look at all the old characters, ingame effects and whatnot; yes they're low on polygons etc but the aesthetics are awesome, different and showing an eagerness to make something amazing.
These days it's bland, entirely forgettable, boring and grey. As if they just can't be bothered anymore to be awesome, or simply lacking the talent to make it happen.

Fortunately, my EveMon never updated the picture of my avatar so I can always see how I used to look.
Being a Caldari soldier, I used to have bandoliers across my chest. Some wrench-like object I probably swung as a club in a moment's fit of rage was slung across my pack. And after enough battles, metal plates and tubing as part of my cranial and facial features gave the appearance I might be a bit more machine than flesh at this point.
Now - clean cut? Check. Leather jacket? Check. Appear like everyone else? Check.  |

Please allow me to assure you that the Gallente see-through clothing was 100% compatible with said assets.

WTF are you complain about?
All of the avatar development was stopped. You wanted the ships only, so don't complain now. Get you ships, and a shooter instead of of avatars, snd STFO.
in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

Thank god they did, that style was like a poor imitation of 5th element missing all the notes that made it great. The new style is very slick, particularly for the ship redesigns.
