New SPORE footage, amazing what a year can do.

Haven't seen this video posted so I took the liberty.

[CyberPitz]

Wow, that was amazing. Well, I bet people who were sad about the delay aren't so sad anymore! I know I'm not

 

[Hazar]

I think I've seen most of both of them, but not the direct comparison

 

[Llama]

dear god, that's ace

 

[VictimOfScience]

Hmm, requirements just went up I think...but thats a good thing!

 

[Gargantou]

I.. I.. I think I just wet my pants.

 

[Tick]

looks really boring.

 

[Stigmata]

Looks amazing

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Awesome, still can't wait for this game.

 

[CR0M]

ugh.
How twee. Looks like Walt Disney threw up on it.

 

[L3adCannon]

Gameplay looks cool but the art is a bit too kiddy for my taste. Still gonna try it though.

 

[Fishlore]

I'll still try it for myself, maybe I'll like it maybe I won't. Time is definitely not causing my interest to increase however. Quite the opposite really. I don't know, it looks nicer, but at the same time it doesn't.

 

[Laivasse]

Looks a bit more colourful than previous vids, but I'm not seeing this big new difference that other people have mentioned.

Enthusiasm is dying off for me too, and tbh it wasn't one of my most hotly anticipated games anyway.

 

[Absinthe]

ugh.
How twee. Looks like Walt Disney threw up on it.

QFT

It looks more optimized and enhanced in terms of graphical power. But I liked the more understated look previously. Now it looks like a flamboyant cartoon. The cell comparison smacked of fail. What previously looked like something akin to fl0w is now some arcadey trip through Toon Town.

It won't hold me back if the gaming experience is awesome. But with the delay in mind and my waning enthusiasm, this isn't really helping.

 

[Qonfused]

This still looks like a game that will get old in five hours.

 

[Absinthe]

I don't know about that.

I personally have devoted a lot of time to Will Wright's games.

 

[Jangle]

I think it looks a lot less awesome than the previous version. Looks to cluttered with health bars and stuff all over the screen.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I can't wait, and as far as Qonfused comment goes, it really depends on the person and what you make out of sandbox style games.

 

[Thunderclap]

Am I the only guy here put off by the cartoony look?

I desperately want to play a serious game with this concept but the creatures lookd like someone tried to fuse Walt Disney with Doctor Seuss and failed. All of them looked absurd and ridiculous.

I can't take it seriously, and besides, you do all realize that while Wright's idea of using other people's races to populate the galaxy sounds cool, the reality will be thousands upon thousands of planets inhabited by walking penises, right?

 

[smwScott]

Exactly what I was thinking. I prefer the simplicity of the old style. This just looks like a complicated cluster**** of "what the hells going on?". Though the graphics are prettier and I guess they'll get it more streamlined and intuitive before release.

 

[Kamikazie]

I don't know about that.

I personally have devoted a lot of time to Will Wright's games.

Me too. ;(

 

[Gray Fox]

I love the new look, lot more atmospheric, and I love all the colours

 

[Stigmata]

The graphics and style are better, but there's just too much of it. There's a balance between the old Spore and the new Spore that those guys have to find before this game comes out.

 

[MiccyNarc]

Looks like WoW.

 

[Jintor]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... need to fuse the two styles together somehow.

E3 2005 > (E3 2007)*8


This fails. It turned an increcibly awesome prodecdural art feel with minimal interface into a gigantic, ugly, tooltip-filled cartoon. No longer looking forward to it as much.

Exactly how I feel. When I saw the 2007 cell bit I said "eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww"

Becoming very "meh" about this game.

 

[Bad^Hat]

No sir, I don't like it =/

Looks shinier, not better.

 

[Stingey]

Am I the only one thinking that while the graphics obviously were upgraded it doesn't really look any better? :/

 

[Docm30]

I'd go so far as to say it looks worse; a shame really, since Spore is (or rather was) one of the few games I was looking forward to.

 

[CR0M]

Tis a shame that some marketing execs can't get past thinking that games are nothing more than toys for kiddie widdies.

 

[Rapstah]

I'm still looking forward to it, no matter what you say.

 

[TwwIX]

I don't like the new visuals.
Too distracting.
They should focus on game mechanics instead.

Colourful graphics aren't just for little kids. >.<

 

[Stigmata]

Truth.

 

[CR0M]

Colourful graphics aren't just for little kids. >.<

They are when they look like The Wonderful World Of Spore.

 

[Stigmata]

little kids

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Looks good still.

 

[KagePrototype]

:thumbs:

 

[burnzie]

Wow that looked like ass.


Completely lost my interest, and it looked so cool before.
