Spore-A new kind of game
I'm not much into games anymore but this looked interesting:

Putting two and two together, Wright concluded that there had to be some way where users could create content, instead of armies of developers, and a way to make a game craft itself around the user's contribution.

That is an epic sounding game.
Re: Spore-A new kind of game
That is AMAZING. I'll admit I thought the first part was cool, and the second part, and the third, and the..., well you get the point.
I want that game. Will Wright is a genius.

In-freaking-credible.
"but there was more"
I wonder if this kind of game's time has come.

Re: Spore-A new kind of game
I think you guys are missing the main point of Wright's presentation. He wasn't doing to show off a cool game, he was showing what can be accomplished without teams of hundreds of artist, programmers, scripters, and writers. The way games are moving today in the future it could take more money to make a decent game than it would to make a decent movie. This shuts out independant developers and ingenuity as Publishers will be less likely to risk supporting titles that break the mold.
Although the game does look amazing.
Nothing close to pity moved inside me. I was sliding over some edge within myself. I was going to rip open his skin with my bare hands, claw past his ribs and tear out his liver and then I was going to eat it, gorging myself on his blood.

Re: Spore-A new kind of game
Imagine a world six to twelve years fgrom now when just about everyone will be able to create his own game. Instead of having few good games from a limited number of sources, you would have millions of mediocre games from millions of sources.
By the way, does anyone know when that game will be out, or have more information on it?
