I read science fictoion cartoons(Allehandro Jodorowsky/Enki Bilal), played many video games like you, and played with GI Joe troop transports(with many a hefty turret) thurrougly since i was a cub, and when i heard CCP was making a Sci fi
shooter set in the EVE universe i had my hopes set high for an experimental visual extravaganza on par
with some of the EVE online design. Some of it is allready iconic, like the faceless caldari dropsuit and the laser rifle! But
you have come short in esthetically pleasing me is some design. Primairialy The TANK and the GROUND TURRETS, THE CRU(where is my door) and some other things.
I want to link some pictures to illustrate my point, not intended for any potential real re design, I will leave it up to one of your wizards
The turret
I googled "dust 514 ground turret" and couldent find a picture to link it, but I would either go functional and sleeker

or why not make them far more sinister like some eve ship designs are

and something to more effectivly symbolise the technology behing the design

The Tank
The tanks look just like earth tanks with earth turrets. I appreciate the effectiveness or economy/realism in design philosofy, but sci fi plix?

The CRU
There is(or used to be) this horrifying art in the background on playstation while selecting DUSt 514 off row upon rows of clones, reminissent of some dark Quake stuff. Why not substitite the Clunky and design meaningless CRU for some sleeker, slightly bigger CRU where i can see some clones? It would add that story element into the gameplay
Allready Far out EVE designs

and many more
Linking a shooter with EVE you have the potential to make the most pseudo realistic immersive sci fi "shooter" experience out there and I would be saddened if you are just going to settle for a square bulky turret and a tank looking just like an edit of a contemporary one. Star wars was made in the era before immersive graphic video gaming, so in that sense you have the possibility to make a bigger impact sensuously with a video game. Cant you set some more outlandish designs loose to run arround my head? |
