Hour-long 'Spore' presentation

Thanks for pissing all over my dream of dominating a dirt-free universe...

But, saying that. It reminds me of this:

It's sad because it's true.


EDIT: Will Wright looks like Gordon Freeman in that... The world sure is changing.
 
Watched it again. Did someone say 2006? :( Hope its early 2006.
The reactions when he goes further out...and further out...and further... :LOL:
The beginning evolution game would be the most fun for me I think. :D
I'd kill just to play that demo...
 
I don't think it is telling you that it is popular because it's made by Will.

I am just saying, because of how damn good the game is, we metaphorically want Will Wright to piss on us because we worship him as a god for this game. (If you don't believe me just read the posts in this thread.)
 
I think that PA cartoon is really saying; It doesn't matter if the game is infinitely huge and individual for each player, because it's still shit whatever you do with it.

What the strip doesn't acknowledge: being able to do whatever you like with a Whole Universe is a lot better than being able to do what you want with Pee.
 
I didn't know who will wright was untill after he said "when we were making the sims" then I knew he had something to do with the sims.

Will Wright was behind the whole line of Maxis Sim games, not just the sims (which i personally didnt like), so also SimCity, etc.
 
Will is an awesome guy, but I dont people liking the game just because he made it, come on.. Will Wright fanboys? Thats silly. The game looks fantastic, not the person making it.
 
I showed a friend the presentation yesterday and we said to someone else that basically you start off as a simple celled organism and from there you develop and create a tribe, culture, planet, solar system, universe. lol... it was cool to explain to him.

How would you describe this game?
 
This game must be stoped, it is getting people to betray HL!
Edit: He says that the game uploads creatures automaticaly or something like that, does that mean it's an online only game?

Well, if you mean will it be a MMO game then no, because he says that it's asynchonous. So, basically, you'll be playing your game and come across a planet. And then the game will load a random creature that you've downloaded but the computer will control them.

But if you are asking, will it be single player, but you'll have to be online to play it. Then no, you'll get a library of creatures on a CD/DVD that the game will use instead. I read this somewhere, but I can't remember where.

I belive WW said it in the video. Playing while connected will pretty just give you a larger selection of creatures and stuff, as well as give you access to the inevitble penis people.
 
What happens when penis people and butface meet?
What kind of speed will I nead to properly steal people's creatures online?

That's not how it works, as far as I know it's NOT a ONLINE game, all the online part does is DOWNLOAD other creature copies and populate YOUR universe with them, you thus can't exterminate another players "planet" and such, but you can exterminate the creatures that the game downloaded and populated a planet with that are his, but he still has them in his game, do you understand?
 
Yeah, but what happens when penis people meet butface? Or worse...vagina people?
 
The game crashes and a website on safe sex pops up.
 
I just finished watching it, OMG! What was it he said he couldn't talk about at the very end?
 
:thumbs: Very neat, and then they'll implement an FPS element to it!
 
It is fuggin awesome. I need this game.

Eh?
I think he was just saying he couldn't talk about it until e3. Or at e3, I forget which.

About the online thing, I think any connection will do, a higher speed will just mean you download more player created content quicker.
You probably won't even notice if it is player created when they're mixed in with the ones supplied on CD. Cept for the penis shaped ones...
 
Player content is small. Very very small, it said a creature file is about 5k or somthing stupidly silly like that, so even on 56k you will pretty well download without any wait.

Also he said because there so small, the game will come with tons, and tons, of stuff allready in its database.

1k.. 5k, pretty much doesnt matter when we are talking numbers this small. :)
 
That was class. Wtf are they gonna be doing thatll take 1 and a half years??
 
I can't wait to see all the user created content, I just hope it won't be filled with creatures that looks almost exactly the same :\
But I bet that what we'll get, a bunch of un-original ripoffs of known people/creatures etc.
It's nice btw how the game reads off what creature is missing on your PLANET for example, then downloads such a creature with those specific "abilties".:D
 
for those people who still don't understand the online portion of the game think of it as Steam's auto-update feature, instead it gives you new AI creatures to play against.

Not too long ago, those numbers were considered huge!

Just in case you wanted to know?
 
Pee on us! Pee on us!

I wonder how hard it would be to introduce a multi-player component a-la the Sims Online (except better?) And whether or not, of course, items created by other players will actually do stuff, and what's to stop you making the best possible items straight off...
 
Will Wright is a genious, i like how he always tries to make new things...
