Spore. Has anyone heard of it?

[68 Powers]

Hey, I have been watching this game for a while and it looks like an incredible addictive game.
Thing is.. well what i hear.. Is that the guys making it are to hooked on perfection so they will say "oh its being realesed in march" and then turn around and say "Nevermind in May".

Here is a nice long video that shows pretty much all aspects of the game. Sorry i dont know how to put it as a video to watch from here :S so if a mod could do that, i would appreciate it!

And if you have heard about what are your thoughs on it?

[the_mango55]

Yeah I think it's safe to say everyone has heard of it.

It looks pretty good, but I think it's trying to do too much, and will end up being fun, but extremely oversimplified in each area.

To post youtube videos you just hit the little youtube button on the top right of the posting controls.

Or, you could type in [YOUTUBE ][ /YOUTUBE] around the link, without the spaces.

[68 Powers]

Haha, Yeah but i think it will be worth it.

I heard that Will Wright said back in October that the game was in fully playable mode and that it would be ready in roughly six months...which would put it around April this year.

I haven't been watching this game like a hawk but every so often I give it a look. Seems neat, I might look into getting this when it comes out.

Why will it need a super computer??

The graphics dont look so hot to me.

They're not...but the game concept is enormous, and for that you will need a capable PC

Thats hardly relevent... very different type of game.

Compare it to say... supreme commander for example.

Well i can play Supreme Commander on medium/high.

But i dont see how SC is similar to Spore. :hmmm:

You'll probably be able to handle it. Heck, you should be able to play ETW on medium, if not high (in smaller scale battles)

[Azog 150]

Im just hoping and praying I will be able to run it. Someone said if you can run Sims 2, you should be able to run this, and its also laptop friendly.

Hope thats right. The graphics dont look great, but I imagine you will need a LOT of free space to run it.

Well, I thought I would post some screen-shots...

What's so exciting about it?

The scale is just mind boggling. Mind you the video is from 2005, so its only improved.

I wish this game would actually let you interact with other players. I like seeing their stuff but a good MP mode would be nice.

IDK, this game either will be really good or it will try to do too many things and be watered down. If end game, space age, is dissapointing the game will be pointless IMO. And it will be dissapointing if its not at least as good as like a Master of Orion game.

I really don't like to actually agree with Kanaric's doomsday prophecies, but really, when was the first time we heard about this game?

2005 or 2004 or something?

I'm still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. I hope Spore won't join the vapoware trail or worse - gets released half done with half the promises with half of the game-time and half of the fun, than it was intended to be. I'm afraid they gonna pull a Fable on us.

Depends, it might not actually need much you never now.

Actually seems to m that it is that it uploads the vast majority of the content from the internet
Your left with the initial game, the interface, some starting buildings and creatures some templates for various worlds the starting games and the editors. Still a lot. but not as much models as youd think initially.

[The Super Pope]

Will Wright has been quoted as saying this will make it's way to consoles.

I lost all hope for this pathetic game.
