There's no doubt about it that EVE Online can produce some stunning visuals and incredible stories. New Eden has been the setting for countless creative works, some featuring real gameplay and events and others pushing the limits of the prime fiction. Every so often, I come across a video so mind-blowing that it has to be shared. Last night CrazyKinux's Musing pointed me toward an awesome new EVE video that's been seven months in the making.
Produced by Kale Ryoko, "Future Proof" tells the tale of a Caldari militia fleet on a combat mission for the state. Headed up by support commander Firefox of the Chimera "Overlord", the fleet must do all it takes to push through to their objective. Assisting with this twelve minute masterpiece is Veto corporation's Kyoko Sadako, the mastermind behind such incredible videos as "War Has Come" and "The Angel Cartel (Push Eject)". Made using some of EVE's art assets and the Unreal 3 Engine, Future Proof is a video that simply must be seen.
Skip past the cut to watch both parts of the video in HD. The original version is available for download at the video's official page on the EVE forums.

Entertaining find. This is actually pretty well made for a side-project over the months - well done.

Oh wow, I spent about six months flying with Kale and the other Omerta Syndicate guys a few years ago. It really is a small world.

If you think EVE is a small world the games population now equals the population of Iceland where is it was made.

As someone who does not play eve, that was amazing i can only begin to imagen how hard it was to do that.
That should be the trailer for the game!
Think Eve Dev's should give a job to this guy.

i would like eve to be in this way... the UI is clear, you can pilot frigates and cruisers à la Freespace, the map is better....
CCP should give this guy a job but not for creating new videos but to rethink the gameplay :)

Yes this is true. The guy have much better understanding of Interface design then devs from CCP.
One major let down in EVE imho is the GUI. The GUI remembers me much more of a second world war u-boat than anything else.
CCP must reconsider EVE`s interface ASAP.
Hint to devs - stop being lazy and go read Jakob Nielsen books for god sake.
