A long time passed since E.Y.E revealed its gameplay trailer, in august 2008.
Listening to the comments and critics, they modified the game quite a bit to make it look better.
Here comes, the mod that became an indie game on the source engine, with an interesting trailer :
There hasn't been much official information, mainly due to the developers not having the time or the money to communicate, or even an editor for all it matters.
E.Y.E is a FPS/RPG that mainly focus on a solo/coop campaign. Its main sources of inspirations are Syndicate Wars, Deus Ex, Wh40K, Diablo2, Blade Runner, GITS. quite a list to say the least. While this trailer shows mostly the action side, this is not the only thing that the game offers, my guess is that more might be released on a later time. the developers are not total strangers, they were the developers behind Syndicate Black Ops mod on the first Half-life.
If you speak french or care to use an online translation tool the developers have answered quite a few questions on the Canard PC forums : Forum.canardpc.com
Stay tuned, the developers might not be good on communication but I'll try to keep their best public informed :)

WOW!
I hope you don't plan to sell this... I notice a ton of stuff that are from hl2...
they do plan to sell it but I guess the last remainder of Hl² will be deleted in the final version.
Um, it source...of course it reminds you of hl2. Besides that nothing seems to resemble hl2. Seriously comon.
yea, it took me a while to realize it was source engine which is usually one of those things that's easy to tell.
looks pretty cool
There are many sounds from hl2 and textures. AND I'M NOT TALKIN' 'BOUT SOURCE! I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT HL2!
I pretty much got that much from your original post. However "sounds" and "textures" taking out of the debate there seems to be zero resemblance from hl2's storyline, feel and overall visuals. Like Dremth said it was not easy to identify source in the beginning shots. Now if you still feel that this is a blatant ripoff of hl2 then feel free to contact valve explaining how the similarity with the source engine are concerning in many mods.
He didnt say it is a ripp of, he said that there is still a lot of hl2 stuff left, thus the Game shouldn't be sold if these were to stay. I agree to Yvain. Either they will remove these things left, or maybe they can even leave them, if theses are included in the Source Engine license, which you'll need to sell a source game anyway. I personally wouldn't have anything against reusing them, as the game is sort of Dirty-Sci-Fi themed.
I understand what you are saying, but I'm not sure using a few textures and sounds from HL2 is forbidden by whatever license Source uses. I've seen other 3rd party Source engine games that use some assets from HL2.
Anyway, this game looks great! I would like to hear and see more about it.
Epic don't allow you to use any UT3 or GOW assets at all in retail games, Valve however, might be different I guess.
For your information, the Valve Source Engine comes officially packaged with a horde of pre - made textures and materials in it's database, some of these have appeared in the Half - Life 2 series...
P.S. I notice no resemblance to HL2's visuals in the trailer...
I noticed a couple of HL2 textures here and there, but overall it is very custom.
nothing is similar. this is a good game.
I'm not saying it's bad, in fact this was one of my favrite mods. I'm just saying VALVe could sue the for useing this stuff, and they also used a few of the hl2 animations... :/
EDIT: And I'm not talking 'bout the visuals...
All half-life 2 textures, models and sounds can be used in mods/indie games. They're found in the base content .gcfs, and come free with any Source game.
Whoops replied wrong. My Fault.
Epic!!
Question, will the multiplayer be like Diablo? Run through the story with friends as if nothings changed.
get the trailer on ModDB please!
I wish I could but I am no longer in developpement team (I have been though.) therefore I have no access to the upload form.
I'll try to ask the current developper about it.
Yeah this is being bashed like crazy on GameTrailers. God I hate that side. Nothing but console fanboys and graphic whores.
Anyways, like I said a while back, love the new art direction. Its absolutely gorgeous!
That's awesome, I'm hyped!
Woah!
I stumbled a youtube video on this and I'm so happy this is an indie game now!
Coop could be alot of fun if it's up to 4 people.
Those complaining about HL2 stuff, you've gotta REALLY look for that in the trailer to notice it. What stood out to me was the great level design, characters, weapons and their different configurations, etc. Yet nobody bothers to point that out, only the %0.01 of the default HL2 stuff.
wow... looks epic :)
To be honest, didn't expect much, but looked anyway, looks amazing! Awesome job to the developers!! Thumbs up and keep up the good work!
Holy ****! I remember seeing a video of this when it was still a Source Mod.
Congratulations on buying a license there ^^
absolutely breathtaking, the graphics are just great. From the video the gameplay is going to be great. Hope the coop turns out great as well
Looks cool.
For all intents and purposes, I think this was a "Work in Progress".
Yes, there were HL2 sounds and textures there. The devs have done a great job this far, and I suppose they will replace all the HL2 assets they can before releasing.
The trailer was released to attract attention of eventual editors. Maybe the team needs more help? The game isn't finished?
Until we see the final version, we cannot really judge them. It might change a lot.
If they bought a license, all is fine and dandy if they want to go retail.
The ending license/copyright statement looks ripped from HL2. It's outdated too.
look good for a indie source game
so now we have zeno clash and EYE
Hoooly sh****t!!!1! Amazing trailer, if this goes commercial, I'll be among the first to buy, fer sure! :DDDDD
Wow... nice
Yeah, I saw some videos before, it looks truly amazing. The only thing that needs little bit more work is texturing in certain areas, besides that - action looks really really good!
hmm seems like the game has a lot of features which hellgate london failed to deliver.
im quite curious as to how this turns out, and it would be reaaally grand to see a proper syndicate themed game in 3d.
I can't wait to play this game :P
Rather impressive.
Haha! I helped the developers in grammer and spelling ;)
I actually helped getting the trailer out :D
Who wanna give me a nice pat on the back?!?
OUIIIIIIIIIIIII crée par des francais avec une inspiration deus ex MAIS C'EST DU LOURD (vivement qu'il sorte sa a l'air de poutrer)
Wow, never heard of this before, looks really good actually! Reminds me of Iron Grip a little, with the style and graphics that is. Looks great nontheless and the coop sounds great too!
The action looks rad!
The voice sounds a little out of place. Maybe that's because I don't know the full story, but shouldn't his voice sound muffled or something like its behind a helmet (seeing as the character is wearing one)?
Yep, downloading this one^^ Be it free or not, 'cus mods should be non-commercial:D
Like the titty-poster and the zoom-lence on one of the guns, nice work!
This looks really promising. Don't fail us now.
Can't wait, the original mod is a blast to play with friends, hope this will be even better!
for what does e.y.e stands for? found no description.
greetz.
Its been awhile, any news?
