That does it, this sealed the deal for me. Spore = best game at E3, and best friggin game in a loooooooooong time. Here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=P3DRiREBm9Q&search=robin%20williams%20spore) is a video of mister Williams playing it and basically going nuts with the creature customization in it. I can't remember the last time I wanted a game as bad as this.
-
Looks good, but my impression of the Robin Williams demo was that the editors were verging on out-of-control behavior. Not that it's a bad thing, (and it's no safe bet that he had any idea what he was doing other than running around with the mouse), it's just not the highly precise function that the Spore editors have been touted as. Still, lots of promise.
-
Spore is the only game I care about that isn't out yet. Enough said.

Actually, it is HIGHLY customizable. If you watch any of the videos where Will is demoing the game, he goes rather in depth one how to mold and customize all the various features of your creature. Robin basically took the seat and went ape**** with the game, and that showed something more impressive than what Will and the devlopers are toting. They are saying that you can go all in depth with the editor and make these amazing creatures, or you can be like Robin and just putz around with it until you create something that would make God weep.

As long as I can make a recognisable Dr. Zoidberg, i'll be happy.

Very cool. The more I see of Spore the more interested I get in the idea :)
-
I don't know, I usually play the sandbox games for a few hours and then put them down for lack of direction. That's basically the reason I don't play MMOs or Civ-type games there's no motivation to progress other than to progress.'
That said, Spore look mighty interesting, so I give it better odds of sticking.

He also stopped by the Gears of War booth to play versus with CliffyB. and Hideo Kojima among others. Apparently he is a pretty big gamer.

Plays BF2 quite regularly, I believe. I remember reading it in an interview somewhere.

Imagine him as a squad mate...

*boom* Whoops did I just kill you? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. *boom* Whoops, there I go again *giggle*.

Okay... so that means you either have very narrow tastes in gaming, or you haven't been paying attention to what else is on the way.

Spore actually starts out with a direction, that is, to get to the inter-galactic level. It's then that you get the sandbox mode. Kind of your reward for getting that far.
I'm sure you'ld then realise that there's a lot of things to play with to keep you on it for longer.

I have a very wide ranging taste in gaming, but nothing really grabs me like Spore does. I can wait for everything else, and it wouldn't matter if they did or didn't come out, Spore is another matter.

Or maybe - shock! horror! - she has a different set of interests to you.

BAM.

I guess that brings the count up to 2. Let's see, Tiara left, icespeed is busy with med school, and Marauder doesn't seem to post here any more, so that leaves WF and Ferret, AFAIK.
-
Pathetic isn't it, that we keep a headcount.
-
We can keep a headcount on the total number of regulars here too :p

Well, with such small numbers it isn't too hard... :rolleyes:

Here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9169291264358100919&q=spore) is the full video of the confrence, with an interview with Robin and one with Will at the end.

Also if you want to know how diverse the creatures really can be check out the official Spore shots (http://www.spore.com/screenshots.php), this is one awesome in-game editor for sure.

Oh, you'll go :p now, but I bet you're all secretly gagging for a bit of exoskeleton-on-flesh squelching.

Ah, a Shivan S&M fan then? Damn, that must chafe.

Everything goes smoother with Beam Cannons!

Interesting that it was the very first thing I thought of back when I watched the GDC '05 footage. I don't think it would be too hard really, can't replicate the portable beamy thing though.

That's what mods are for ;)

What we need are actual, working sarcasm tags that alter text in a fashion denoting sarcasm.

It actually means-- "I Am Both Unoriginal AND Lazy".
