Spore! I LOVE it!

Okie, this video is long (like 35 minutes) but I promise it is endlessly entertaining! I was transfixed and eagerly await the launching of this game.

edit: Just give this video 6-7 minutes, if you're not amazed by then, oh well! btw: "Procedural" which he talks about means that the data is interpruted by <u>a program</u> rather than pre-scripted images or actions. This is an amazing step forward in game mechanics. The article below goes into more details.
Also: at 8:30 he mates his 3 eyed, 3 legged creature, well worth watching! LmFao!

Here's a review, largely of the video material, but in text [img]wink.gif[/img] which probably takes less than 35 minutes to read...

In short, this may well be the most amazing game ever! Of course it might just be "dreamware" (good ideas that never get off the ground) or perhaps "rumorware" (it's out there, really it is!) BUT I'm hoping it's for real. After all, this is the fellow who gave us SimCity ($$$ for the producers) and The Sims (More $$$) so I'm hoping that this project will someday see the light of day. It'll be a quantum leap forward for game design, IMHO. What could be better? Well, aside from a real life... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
