Planet and Space Station

[KiteNamikaze]

methinks this game should have Mass Effect-like soundtrack.

[malcolmmorin]

I want to play this. I wish the site didn't have useless mirrors. 3:

[syferislv]

Hi, What's the soundtrack please? Thanks.

[EmperorLjas]

@syferislv It's probably one of the many community contributions made for the game.

[TheLastMyztery]

Wow, this looks incredible. I just visited the website and I am deeply impressed with the mechanics and concentration of work on this MMO. Must play it now :D

[ElleRoni]

Do you intend to have gas giants with flyable atmospheres? And if so, will there be an alert for diving too deep into the pressure?

[ElleRoni]

@ElleRoni Oh nevermind, just got my answer from the website. The scope and ambition of this project is INSANE.

What's going to happen to the unlucky spacer who falls in a black hole?

[Terran123rd]

@ElleRoni As far as I know, IA does plan for players to be able to fly within gg atmospheres. I know that he's coding I-Novae to allow it, and I've seen in-engine renders of what it might look like.

[rockerdog167]

...Where can I fidn this game? I REAAALLLYYYY wanna try this out, it's absolutely gorgeous!

[FrostbitexP]

@rockerdog167

its not out yet, and wont be out for years.

[Yallniggasbetrollin]

TAKE MY MONEY

[Starfflame22]

This looks amazing!

When do you expect to have this released?

[miccoloterz]

at 02;40..

I thought it was a logo for universal studios.... lol

[TheLordHodne]

2:00 I LOVE THAT!!

That is for me the signature picture I have of the game, at the moment. Like that film, with the blue people....

[Fistler01]

where i can test this game ?

[Terran123rd]

@Fistler01 Cant test it yet. If there IS any alpha testing, the devs aint sharin'. There is the ICP (Infinity Combat Prototype), though.

[Terran123rd]

This vid was my introduction to Infinity. At the time, I was EVE crazy, and compared everything, including Infinity, to EVE. Now, I compare everything to Infinity, including EVE.

[Rikimaru80]

This game probably has more potential than any other game made, ever. I truely hope it lives up to the hopes of everyone who's following it, including myself. I've always wanted a sandbox space-themed game.

[melandor0]

youtube dot com/watch?v=fO7XhaTGDYg

It's the latest tech video for Infinity.

So stop commenting on this video, it'll just push that link further down.

[brettseeney]

When is the projected release date of this? I've fallen in love o_o.

Shame there doesn't appear to be any clouds on the planets. =[

Nor cities but then again this is demonstrating the engine so I assume they are being added at a later date?

Also is there any word about roaming the planets and space stations on foot? Would be awesome to explore the planets like that, could even have quest styled gameplay for footsloggers.

[bengacris]

Thats what I always wanted to see in a game, a gaz planet with a ring system, seen from an other planet ot moon.

[spiralgear]

This music is gorgeous where is it from?

[Crayfish2020]

@spiralgear the music in our demo videos is all original work contributed to the game by our forum members. The quality is excellent and its really a credit to the amount of undiscovered talent there is out there.

[cwrads]

will there be jump drives and/or warp drives. Can weapons a propulsion drives be upgradeable on small ships and some larger ones?

[cwrads]

I would like to see a thicker atmosphere that would take a bit of time to travel through with a more realistic way of entering the atmosphere such as entering to fast or steep could have negative effects. Also a targeting assist such as an indicator showing were to shoot in front of a moving target. As well as lots of weapons, flax cannon, anti fighter beams, bombers and large blaster cannons meant for use against battle ships.

[Aeslan]

Sorry, but it is not a planet, it is a moon!

[Khirana88]

That's no moon... it's a space station.

(Sorry couldn't resist... >_>)

[Acropolyptic]

theres actually a phenomanal amount of things that add up to the world ending in 2012, i don't believe a date marks the end of the world either, but alot of things add up, there are aztec and mayan drawings of space ships and men in spacesuits from way back when they existed, how would they know about metal suits, and ships in space, perhaps aliens visited earth and said they would come back on a later date, that date being 2012.

[PwnerPwnz]

OMG WANT GIMME GIMME NAO!

[Aeslan]

Who knows the title of the song? Plese write it! Thx!

[mason4300]

I believe that it is one of the many tracks contributed by content creators on the Infinity forums. Sorry I can't tell you more, that's all I know.

[Aeslan]

No problem! Thanks for answering!

[Naibasaki]

IA said the alpha should be out late 2011, beta some time 2012 (hopefully)

[Aeslan]

And what kind of night sky have this exomoon? Simply beautiful! :)

[aaabronco]

Most amazing game ever! to bad its not releasing till 2012.

[s0utht0wnjr]

Pretty sure it'll be released before that lol.. well, at least beta'd.. or alpha'd?........ :(

[gangstanaruto3]

what do you mean till 2012? whats the point of that stupid year?!

[aaabronco]

Because its being made by 8 people with there spare time.

[Gurkmomma]

theres many conspiracy theories about that the world will end in 2012.. i feel sorry for those people who thing that it will end... i mean they have no proof what so ever that it will ned

[gangstanaruto3]

i agree with you man! xD

[Aeslan]

Beautiful! This is an Earth-like exomoon orbiting around a Saturn-like planet. On surface is vegetal life, maybe animal, too.The Saturn-like planet has minimum 4 moons, as I see. The solar system has one sun.

Simply delightful!

The sky's perspective is amaizing!

Bye!

[Omega231984]

Wow, I love to wake up with that kind of sky view every day

[DarkRai355]

Lol gmod spacebuild

[s0utht0wnjr]

What? I wish. If Gmod had a spacebuild this good, I'd be playing it all day everyday.

[waken12]

stations still flicker? that sux...

[InfinitySupport]

Still? That video is over two years old

[aasyran]

@InfinitySupport still stronger over the year werf gfgrt time

[kralle98]

@InfinitySupport 4-5 years now lol

[4chukwuebuka]

so how do people make this kind of stuff? and what song song is played in here?

[roshawn1111]

lol reminds me of halo 2

[Inzalonus]

looks better than spore lol

this is what spore could have been like, if they didn't go for such a cartoony feel

[Sweetearthslug]

They gave us the combat prototype and it looks great already even in it's early development stages.

I just hoped we got to see a solar system prototype before the closed beta is released.

Just a single system, a sun, 3 or 4 bare planets and some ships to try some landings.

Now we have to land on astroids in the ICP :-)

[lustNcupcakes]

end vacuum would be the best suited orchestral backdrop score for this, by Mike Einziger

[Revan1701E]

Amazing.....

[KiranGlitch]

with what did you create this?

if it is 3ds max then i will be gobsmacked

no one could EVER create that on 3ds max......

.....well if I had 1 year then i would do it but it so complex

so much memory you take up on making this

[BeatrizPwnsYou]

it doesnt use any 3d modeling program, it is generated on-the-fly procedurally... using pure code ^^

[xxXWorldFuneralXx]

i'm only familiar with eve but this looks way more visually enhanced ; )

[Lord6of9Uk]

the PERFECT SOUNDTRACK for this, would be a norwegian band called THE KOVENANT!!

Trust me. for example, try out the songs- 'Mirrors Paradise' or 'The chasm (2002 version)'...

its all Industrial and suited to space orientated games! ' been done before

[Lord6of9Uk]

this is exactly how i would make it, given the chance!

5*****

[1TheRealDeal1]

Best look space mmo ever made. This is what EVE WISHES it would look like. Makes EVE look terrible.

[bkmalone86]

Just awesome... this game isn't even going to be in the same category as Eve... this game is going to beat out World of Warcraft.

[rwarrawr]

If we can get 11 million people who can run it *cough*

Although I do hear they're doing a lot of engine optimisation so that it's not as stressful for computers. And after playing Blizzard games I've learned not to say "ITS PRETTY IT MUST REQUIRE A SPACE COMPUTER TO PLAY" anyway.

[SmartGuy564]

If it was known to millions it would beat WoW but unfortunately it isnt we only have a small community right now =(

[kite781]

This has been kept very very secret, Im in love with the project now.

[mycrofttrek]

@SmartGuy564 youve just gained one more member :)

[dejan654]

WOW

[anurangax27]

amazing... the next eve online for sure!!

keeep up the good wrk guys

[DaFreeMan101]

simply beautiful

[VikingWarriorof69]

ya should have done Saturn's Titan!!

[InfinitySupport]

- Some prototyping has been done on storm systems, so hopefully yes.

- Cloud movement, not sure, a new cloud map will probably have to be generated each time a planet is visited so it might be problematic.

- Asteroid impacts are low priority given the likelihood of any one player witnessing one. There may be storyline events involving meteors though.

- Gravity will be modelled to the extent that you'll be able to achieve orbit around a planet.

[aasyran]

@InfinitySupport sokongnan untuk planet

[tehfear]

OUt of curiosity.. A couple questions. Does infinity support :

-Storm systems?

-Moving clouds

-Asteroid impacts with planets

-Gravitational attraction of large scale objects?

[metabog]

Music sounds like EWQLSO.

This is AMAZING I can't wait.

[titantikal]

Amazing, truly amazing.

I am most interested to see where this project goes.

[steversheldon]

This game looks like it will be transformational. Quick question, I read on your site that there will be no first person element, is there any talk of that once the game is initially up and running. That would just be the icing on the cake.

[TheTZER]

It has been discussed, but the guy behind the engine says that it would be doubtful. They would need a much bigger team in order for that to happen.

[viature54]

will progression be like eve-online's skill base system or just the annoying repetitive grind fest like WoW?

[Anubis110]

Neither. There are no "levels" to gain, and are no "skills" to train. As far as operating your ship goes, you are limited only by your ability to make money (by trading, manufacturing, running missions, etc.), as ships have upkeep costs. Hence, the very largest ships can only be operated by groups of cooperating players. A single player can likely afford to operate a destroyer-sized vessel by himself.

[durge666]

I dunno, I'm pretty sure a lot of people will pull Chribbas. By that, I mean going it alone, but somehow managing to amass tons money and get the best of everything. I wonder if there will be any Veldnaughts...

[afacetiousguy]

Totally beautiful!

2 questions:

1) is there thought of implementing damage to vessels if they enter the planetary atmosphere wrong? (makes for good dog fight chase using tactics)

2) What system specs are you all projecting that will run this with this excellent detail??

[InfinitySupport]

1) Yes we plan to implement atmospheric friction. If you enter the atmosphere too fast your heat indicator will rise and unless you slow down your ship will be destroyed.

2) The specs of the machine running the game are listed at the beginning of the video. The final game with all effects, including full landscape shadowing and volumetric clouds, will require more power but its impossible to say how much yet.

[MetronomeStudiosLV]

... You should sell what you have to CCP

[sgttaco1]

@InfinitySupport Now THAT is cool and realistic! Can't wait for the full game!

[strongdude76]

@InfinitySupport I assume heat damage will be included if someone wants to kamikaze their ship into the nearest star?

[RyanKaufman]

@InfinitySupport If we get burned up in the atmosphere, is that basically death, or will we just respawn at Earth or a designated space station?

[Th3BritishGuy]

To anyone that reads this, please do not buy Eve. My personal opinion obviously but please just wait for this to come out, i will be the best there is.

[totter333]

if this game were to be anounced at E3 people would go bonkers!!! post more vids

[amirherselman]

I hope this is all for EVE

[SmartGuy564]

Nah Infinity online most specualted to be released mid to late 2009 it will be free and you can possibly pay for it for extras :D

[heresjonny666]

In this game will you be able to get out of your ship and walk around?

That'd be the epitome of cool. I would never get off my computer. XD

[Ic3frog]

not planned ye and i doubt it will be

[honkthedank]

No you can't walk around out of your ship sadly.. devs said it will never EVERRR be in.. They also said they can't be stuffed making under water content so submarine ships are out.. LAzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Eonsl4sh]

You realize it would take forever to model and texture the insides of ships and stations just so people could walk around inside? It would literally tack years onto the release date.

It is a possibility for future patches, but definitely not the initial release.

[honkthedank]

well they promised underwater exploration but now they took it out so submarines are out. reaaaally sad.

[honkthedank]

Plus, EVE Online is going to do it, they're releasing Ambulation this year for stations, and we'll be able to go into planets soon too. :)

[InfinitySupport]

"well they promised underwater exploration but now they took it out so submarines are out. reaaaally sad."

We didn't promise anything to do with underwater exploration. Its a slight possibility but we'll have to do some testing with it. We won't include it if it doesn't look good.

[Zeldafan114]

I SOOOOO wanna free fall from that space station right now...

[zenmastermatt]

EVE?

"smooth-running"?

ahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahsahbfd­kasdhlkahhAHAHHAA

Funniest shit I've ever heard.

[InfinitySupport]

The system specs are posted at the start of the video. Athlon 64 3500, 1GB RAM and an ATI Radeon X800. Most of the choppiness seen in the video is caused by the video capture software.

[Serreniah]

lol

[VerySeriousUser]

Everything I've seen from the infinity prototype is soooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!

[SplinterCell37]

This is absolutely AMAZING!

[Betelgeuze01]

We are creating our own game, theres always room for more space games!

[Mycha1975]

Guys, join your forces with Egosoft and create a one project of Infinity + X4, so gamers would have a massive game with excellent gameplay for ever and ever :D. Graphics and engine looks awesome, but we see only one station, few planets. I'm willing to see how with all this graphics will work an advanced plot, how the game will handle with many NPC and player's ships, during fights, laser blasts, etc etc. I wish this game all the best!
