Hahaha... So let think this over so we can gain an edge of these guys. How is it going to play out? We be God?

I really want to create a centaur-like creature, or perhaps even a raptor or mantis style (that would be so damn cool).

So many memories come to mind when I see Maxis logo (mainly SimCity 2000 and 3000, didn't like the Sims)...I guess they'll do a good job...

EVO was a big hit with my group of friends, and this just blows it out of the water. I can't wait.

This is the 'extended' video from the Spore presentation, it doesn't include any new gameplay footage but it has a 12 minute intro by Will Wright about why procedural techniques are way cool. I found it interesting, it's his vision on the future of computer games (in a way).

I remember hearing about this a long time ago, and yes, if it gets good reviews, I will buy it.

This game looks amazing. Holy crud though, Will Wright says "Ummm" like 1000 times! That guy is pretty dam good at what he does and you can tell he's intelligent despite umming a lot.

I'm looking forward to this game a lot. The evolution in the game actually is somewhat closer to ID than science but conscious interference for a player is what makes a game fun so I don't really care a bit. I hope to spend a lot of time in the animal stages of the game too. I'd love to make a large sea creature that then shrinks and gets onto land or whatever. The game doesn't look like it supports mullusks and maybe not flying creatures. I think that would be awsome if it did. Imagine making a race of giant slugs that conquer the universe. Also making a species of intelligent plants might be ver interesting too but the game is pretty expansive as it is and I won't harp at its limitations. It looks groundbreaking.

Thanks for the link Doc_Bean.
