Spore!

If you have not heard of Spore yet, I suggest you crawl out from under your rock and pay attention. Spore combines elements of Sim City, The Sims, Civilization and other RTS/Strategy games. The idea is that you control a life form's evolution, a small tribe of life forms, civilizations of life forms, and eventually, whole planets of life forms. You start out with control of bacteria sized life and slowly evolve and develop your creature, striving towards your unique idea of perfection.

I suggest you all watch Will Wright's demo and presentation on Spore then come and discuss Spore in the forum!

Re: Spore!

wait, so when they say it's some other players "civilization" does that mean that they control it, or is it just that like the game uploads it and it gets played by the AI?

Re: Spore!

A civ profile gets downloaded and the AI runs it.
No news on multi, I hope it gets built in.

looks like it's not going to have multiplayer *jumps in joy, i'm really hating these MMORGP's that are happening, i hate playing with other people it gets way too cramped, but this game looks AMAZING, easily replayable like 100000000000 different ways with every way you can evolve and change your character, a MUST BUY!

Re: Spore!

so i've also found out the game runs on "Verbs" so you can combine different commands, they showed grab and run, to make drag, so maybe this will offer different species different abilities? like say if your creature is super fast he could maybe they could leap and attack, or i don't know.  Also, do you think they'll have flying creatures?

Re: Spore!

How could they not?
I think that since it's based on Verbs it will be very flexible. IIRC different behaviours and movements are generated based on Verbs so almost anything is possible.
