Seeds sown for epic EVE machinima
An EVE Online user by the name of swp has put together the above trailer for a Curatores Veritatis Alliance movie. The editing is pretty tight, and speaking as somebody with only a minimum of EVE experience, the scale is also pretty impressive. While we stumbled upon the trailer by the chance fact that one of our favorite EVE bloggers mentioned it in a blog post recently, we were impressed by the sheer volume and variety of videos to be found one of the bigger EVE forums.Given the amount of talented movie makers in the EVE community, we're extremely excited about the future of EVE machinima. The long-anticipated space station gameplay, where players are allowed to actually occupy their humanoid avatars and engage in face to face interactions, should blow this community wide open. It'd allow for the creation of all sorts of epic stories and (forgive the Star Wars reference in a post about EVE) Mos Eisley cantina moments. We look forward to seeing what the community can make with these tools, and we're sure it'll be entertaining.

EVE Online Eve Online talks new ships and avatarsCCP's Senior Technical Producer Torfi Frans Olafsson had a lot to say about EVE Online's upcoming space station environments. At present, EVE's player characters are little more than still portraits -- in the playable portion of the game you are primarily represented as your ship, which you can use to navigate and explore the game world. Players will one day have the ability to exit their ship and interact with other characters as a human avatar. We still don't have an exact release date, but we scored the details on the proposed gameplay and development process. %Gallery-16525%
