    I think the hardest part of Spore is going to be deciding which Star Wars alien I recreate first.

    what did he say about intergalactic wars? I couldn't hear him all that well (I caught the carebear and klingon joke though.)

    i cant imagine that being even remotely possible. they would have to allow a species only being able to give birth to a different species, which would only be able to give birth to the first species. i cant imagine there being any possible way for that to evolve. too bad, would be quite awesome.

    I will make Pikachu.



    Eons from now, our grandchildren shall send their explorers to distant worlds and receive the same 'WTH, M8!?' that we had in the 90's.
  • WarriorWarrior Join Date: 2003-02-16 Member: 13624Members
    The two races I wanna make would be a race similar to the Borg. Maybe not have the whole assimilation thing if its not possible. However a race with their ship designs and the thirst for perfection and universe domination . Species 8472 would be cool to.

    Honestly, and you act like you know about Star Wars. It was actually a pretty fun game for a little while. Nice demo, but I wouldn't want to buy it.

    If Spore can figure out how to make Lurkers, I will be amazed and in awe.

    They made a 404 error?

    Also, I totally already knew about that game. I was merely testing the knowledge of others.

    I forsee an all-encompassing intergalactic alliance of anthropomorphic hermaphrodite foxes, swallowing the universe just as they have the interbutts... *shudder*

    wouldn't it also be nice if you could enhance your creature with technology, cyborg tech and go out and assimilate other wor.. oh wait...
  • UltimaGeckoUltimaGecko hates endnotes Join Date: 2003-05-14 Member: 16320Members
    I'm still interested in how they plan to make the endgame continually interesting (or at least for a while). The trading card game thing seems okay in theory, but eventually you'll have so many that it will just become tedious finding out which ones you really want to trade; plus, based on the procedural nature of the rest of the game, I wondering how you could hope to set up an alliance/federation/diplomacy system that could potentially have thousands of different races to ally/fight with. Destroying worlds can only maintain my interest for so long (albeit a rather long time for me, probably shorter for others).

    Does anyone know of actual 'gameplay' footage? I know one of the E3 ones has him with his creature, and it lays an egg and he hatches and eats some food and gets some DNA points, and the mechanic of the game that seems vital (using DNA/building material/whatever it's actually called in-game) just seems to be glossed over (as in, he always cheats and starts fiddling with the creature editor, with the common 'and it looks like something a Pixar artist would create!"). It just doesn't seem to make good gameplay if you can drastically alter your creature with each iteration. So that's how 'evolution' works? One day you're a slug the next you've got one giant eye, a tail with a spike on it and 6 limbs? I think we've missed a step. How would that even relate to the cool 'save points of a bigger brain' mechanic that was mentioned a while ago? You could just magically reform your creature mutate from an 8 limbed beast to a giant brain slug with UFO creating capability?

    How does the civilization phase work? Is there any diplomacy or do you just magically create buildings that may or may not serve a purpose (like the first early GDC videos, he creates this exciting building...but why? What does it do?). What's the trivial and short term interface like?


    I'm hoping more relevant gameplay footage can be procured sometime soon; I'm all fascinated by the creature editor and the 'grand progression', now show me why it's fun in short little bursts, and how it develops and why it will remain interesting (besides the Pac-Man aspect of the early stage, which seems a simple enough mechanic since it's been successful for about 30 years already).


    (also, race of sentient deinonychus (that'd be 'Jurassic Park Velociraptors' for some people) for the win)

    UltimaGecko:

    There is no "End game", there are millions of planets to go explore and take over. And since you will be pretty much competing against the creatures and civilizations made by other players, some of them could be quite difficult(It's not MMO style, meaning what you do to their planet doesn't actually effect the way they see it, but when on your copt you travel to their area, it downloads what they currently had, or Im pretty sure that's how it works). And Im pretty sure taking over thousands of planets will take a very very long time.

    Also, you evolve by using DNA points to upgrade certain parts of you. The next generation of you will then have that mutation(I think you make the next generation by either splitting bacteria style, or breeding). I would assume that better mutations cost more points, and getting points would take awhile, so that becoming a 8 foot tall monster would take quite some time.

    For city building, I think you don't decide what structures "do" but more just what they look like. So there are a bunch of types of buildings, each with their own purpose. Im guessing that you will need certain buildings to be able to use pieces for certain vehicles and stuff.

    Though Im just guessing all of this based on the limited footage they showed, and partially on what I'd want it to be.
