From the Lead developper, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is Infinity a clone of Eve Online ? I can often read this question on the web, and even those forums. And i think it's a natural question especially for people who just discovered the game and just want a quick answer to this question without having to browse hundreds of topics, or read the whole website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Well, the one aspect I find most appealing is the massive scale of Infinity, and how planets are rendered real time. I like the idea of being able to dip into a planet's atmosphere. I wish there were actual avatars (toons) - so that you could get out on a planets surface or in cities. Even a limited amount of toon play would certainly give this game an edge over Eve.
As it stands - it looks very ambitious and the demo video is sweet. I can't wait to see more. The Infinity: Quest For Earth Game Trailer |

Another difference: EVE is an existing game, with all its promises delivered. Infinity so far, pretty much looks like vaporware. Lots of big words and pretty pictures but absolutly no meat on the bones. A few models directly from the 3D program... LIke my homepage from the late 90s, not exactly afullfledged game system. A bit early to compare, I would say. |

It is early to compare, I'll grant you that. Vaporware - I'm not sure... they definitely have an engine in place, so something is happening. Judging by the overview of the game... it sounds very Eve-ish, and that's why comparisons will ultimately be made.
Eve is fantastic, but even with all their updates, it's a pretty stagnant universe. Something like this Infinity project is a step in the right direction... it's where I want Eve to be, but know it can't be without a complete overhaul. |

Dnl and Mourning also had engines in place... Planshift also has an engine in place and has been progressing over a period of years, but I don't expect a release in the near future. But they are the opposite of DnL and Mourning a dedicated group trying to make a high quality product without extranious errors. Sadly, even the best work on Planeshift has left people following it without a game for years now. |

Infinity is more like a realistic space MMO... while EvE isnt.. i would say its a no to compare both side by side. |

That's going a bit far, don't you think ? I don't know how you missed the in-game screens, they are everywhere. The 3D renders are clearly labelled as such, and there's more in-game screens than renders posted. "A few models directly from the 3D program" is simply bad faith. As for "no meat on the bones", you are forgetting that a combat prototype has been released. Granted it's not the game, but it's a taste of it, so you can't say it's all vaporware either. Example: http://moddb.com/images/cache/mods/63/6313/gallery/water_51703.jpg http://moddb.com/images/cache/mods/63/6313/gallery/water_51456.jpg http://moddb.com/images/cache/mods/63/6313/gallery/water_51208.jpg |

I, for one, can't wait for this game to deliver.
Eve, for all its revolutionary concepts, reached level where fundamental design compromises (star systems) are crippling the game play as it is.... and even though each star system is almost real life big, lack of ability to free warp as well as no accessible planetary bodies (and hosts of other issues making Eve effectively a small universe) contribute to actual lack of space and mystery in the game. Actually, I just pretty much retired the game today (my in game name is Naal Morno) after pretty much achieving all a player can in the game (how much people can you kill camping, how many billions of ISK can you make, and still hope to discover something new in such small universe).
Can't wait for this one, I will take some time off from gaming to recharge for Infinity! |

I''m to patriotic to support the Bush administration |
i like everything about this game, except, that you dont have an avatar what is the fun of having billions of living and breathing planets if you cant get out of your ship and go explor them.. |

After i found the website and looked at evert 'screenshot' and watched all the movies i was impressed, i'm a Freelancer fan and i hope they look at that game for ideas also (the combat/flight controls) the best thing was flying from space onto the planet. I hope it will be 'nothing like' EVE, tried that game expecting it to be 'like Freelancer' and i was quite dissapointed. I hope this game comes through. Keep up the good work ^^. |

EVE supposedly is working to allow players to fly into a planet's atmosphere, land, ECT and players will no longer be bound to their ship when docked in the station. However, due to the size of the galaxy this won't be implemented until 2008.
You can check the EVE Suggestions Forums here at MMORPG. But, Infinity looks interesting to say the least |

Well, think about it, how useful would be getting out of your ship and having a wonder be on a *full scale* planet. Imagine how long and boring it is to go to work, go shopping or whatever you do now. And that is how much of this world? IA has made positive movements with ground vehicles though.
