Re: Spore

??? Question. What is 'Spore'. If you tell me, then I'll say if I'm going to be exited or not. :D
 
Re: Spore

Okay Im highly dissapointed in you people now.

Spore is Will Wright (the creator of The Sims) new game.
Set to release later this year Spore is an evolution sim.
Meaning in the game the character you follow starts out as a single cell organism.
as this plankton-like creature you swim around and eat other plankton
eventually your plankton gives birth to an egg, the egg gives you access to a body editor, allowing you to play god with your plankton.

eventually the game moves to the next modes of evolution which are:
Single Organism mode: you become a multi-celled organism with a spinal cord, in order to obtain your egg in this mode you acctually have to mate with another creature of the opposite sex.
Tribal Mode: your organisms form primitive tribes, you provide for them giving them tools, fire, shelter, whatever they need to survive, they war with other tribes, but theres still a small enough amount of creatures to interact on an intimate scale with them
City Mode: is Sim City only on a world scale, you can edit your own buildings instead of buying them, and your city and others engage in warfare
Space Mode: you are given a spacecraft, you can leave your planet and go conquer other planets

one of the best features of the game is the AI which is constantly populating your game, with new creatures and planets. Spore is automatically updated from teh interwebs so other players creatures may come in and take over yours so you could leave your game for a day, come back and find your village obliterated.

but aside from that theres not much known about it
basic game play
how the editors work
but all thats been released is pretty vauge
if you wanna learn more check out this video from E3

Re: Spore

but its not really a strategy game, more like a HAHA PH34R ME FOR I AM TEH GOD!!! I shall make a character with eyes in its ass (Vgcats reference if you dont get it go die)
 
Re: Spore

It is a strategy game. You may play god, but it is still at its core a strategy game. Black and White is a similar concept in the player's role, it just doesn't have the whole evolution thing going on.
 
Re: Spore

I remember reading about this game in Game Informer. It sounded pretty interesting.
 
Re: Spore

I think I read an interview with the project lead of Spore expressing interest in bringing Spore to the Wii, PS3, and 360.

maybe for Wii, but I cant see it for PS3 and 360, i mean it would look amazing but it'd be like The Sims 2 on a console, or Urbz.
In short an utterly useless attempt.
and I seriously doubt that the Wii's 480 pixels could do the game justice
 
Re: Spore


Consoles usually just don't have the controls needed for most RTS's {unless you get the keyboard of course}.
 
Re: Spore

Yeah, but they can work. Maybe not as great as a mouse and keyboard, but that stereotype needs to die. Not to mention the 360 (and I think the PS3) are both capable of mouse and keyboard support even if no games have utilized it yet.

Like I said, Battle for Middle Earth 2 for the 360 was a very successful, highly praised game that proves RTS games can be done right on consoles.
 
Re: Spore


Yea, I'm pretty sure most of them can be done ok on a console with enough work. I guess what I should have just said in the first place is that I prefer rts's and fps's on pc. I'm sure that could all change though if more games on 360 start supporting keyboard and mouse....I just think keyboard and mouse support should be mandatory on all fps's and rts's for 360 :D
 
Re: Spore

Call me biased but Im not big on consoles, I have my computer, my DS, and my PS2 and the only reason I use that is to play Guitar Hero and anything with a Square Enix label on it.

I still think that it would be a mistake to put Spore on a console. Just shouldnt happen

That was said about BFME2. People say the same about Command and Conquer 3, and they will be wrong again. And also, since when is developers expanding horizons a bad thing?
 
Re: Spore

kayy so I just checked this out
Spore will hopefully eventually be on EVERY console
Including cell phones

for the nintendo DS
