Spore

[Riddlebox]

For those of you that don't know what Spore is, I'll try to summarize it as quickly as I can.

You start out controlling a cell in a drop of water that eventually evolves into life. You control every aspect of the evolution of your species, and eventually, they grow more intelligent. As they do this, they can wage wars on other civilizations that inhabit the planet. As your creatures grow even more intelligent you can eventually leave your planet and explore your solar system, galaxy, and ultimately the universe, seeing what other players have created as yo go along. You have the ability to crash comets into planets to give them water, and so you can colonize other planets as well, over time.

If you wish to destroy other players planets you can, and they will be informed that you destroyed their planet. However, their planet will only be gone on your version of the game, and this won't affect everyone else's game play experience.

Instead of destroying other planets, you could also trade with them, and become allies, increasing your wealth and such.

[Demoir]

Isn't Spore the game equivelant of Chinese Democracy(in terms of release set backs, and the like)?

[Far]

It's been pushed back so much but recently they had a playable demo available to the press. As of now it's slated for sometime in the fiscal year 2009, which begins April 2008. They've stated they won't release until it's finished which is really the best thing the can do and I'm glad they are sticking to their guns. Before the full game is released the creature creator will be released as a demo.

Dude, sorry to say, but they dogged us. From the first set back i was discouraged, not by the set back it's self, but the message it brought with it. We want to "Sims" this franchise, is the best way i remember it. Which means many, many expansions. Oh but Sam, extra content is great! Correct, but not when it's content that they promised in the original game, that they want to cut out just for the soul purpose of adding it in an expansion. Remember underwater civilizations? They will now be in an expansion.

That probably wasn't the first set back, but it was one of them.

I've followed the game near religiously and haven't heard anything about this, unless you can provide evidence I'm forced to continue believing what I do. Nearest I've heard regarding this is that the underwater part hadn't been in any game showings since 200 so everyone thought it was cut but it was confirmed that it will still be there.

And it stands to reason if they were cutting things instead of adding them that wouldn't push the release date back like it has been, rather it would be coming out sooner.

[Matterialize]

Oh my God. This looks fucking amazing.

And hell, they can cut underwater cities if it means Spore comes out sooner.

It was on a gamespot article, ill see if i can dig it up.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/spore/news.html?sid=6170303

Maybe when i heard "Sims" i jumped to my own conclusions, because I'd heard so much about the extra content.

[ArKaiN]

Holy shit this looks good.
I'd never even heard of this. It's like civilization²!
I'm in.
The idea kinda reminds me of an old Asimov story...
EDIT: look at the roundup of games they inspired the phases of the game on:

1. Pac-Man for the cellular phase
2. Diablo for the creature phase
3. Populous for the tribal phase
4. SimCity, Risk, and Civilization for the civilization phase
5. SimEarth, Destroy All Humans!, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 2001: A Space Odyssey for the space phase, with elements of sandbox gameplay.[3] DICE 2007 referred to it as similar to Master of Orion.

I've played Master of Orion(both), Diablo(both), and Populous to exhaustion. These people have good taste.

[DarkMountain]

I'll buy it, if it comes out before I die that is. It looks very fun, you pretty much play god.

[Oinohtna]

Though the game looks amazing, I don't think I'll have money. I'm looking forward to Crysis, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Manhunt 2. Spore is at the bottom of the list, but eventually I'll snag a copy.

[Fresh Rob]

That looks cool. I want spore.

[Assassin]

It looks so awesome, but it's on PC so I probably won't be able to buy it :(

[Fresh Rob]

Okay since people like assasin have to be an asshole... Ill ask here is Spore going to be on PSP or other consoles than the PC?

Okay... In my own opinion Civilisation [exuse my spelling] is terrible turn based game man! Turn based! AOE 3 is better and Spore looks great aside the Pacman thing which is still cool.

Are you implying the Fallout series sucks? OR Xcom? Cause if you are, I might have to hunt you down and kill you.

[Shagg]

And don't fail to mention that when you create it a creature, it is uploaded via internet and placed on a random planet in everyones game of Spore! And since there are literally, infinite planets.. most of them are going to be player created. :gj:

[Tyler_Legrand]

When you think about it, this is more of a God game than an Evolution game, what with you influencing exactly how the creature looks like.


Okay... In my own opinion Civilisation [exuse my spelling] is terrible turn based game man! Turn based!

People playing it are suddenly going to have a moment of clarity and realise that Civilization is turn-based, a genre which apparently is or ought to be universally sucky.

[Dodger]

I have been looking forward to this forever. This and pokemon diamond are the only reasons I bought a DS Lite.

[Con-Con]

Sounds really good i'm definately buying it

[SLjimbolian]

After reading Gamespot's hands-on with Stages 2 and 3, I'm really more inclined to get it when it comes out. I think it'll come out in spring 2008 because by the way it looks, it's about 70% complete.

[AidanC]

Yea, this looks great. I probably won't buy it though, my computer is wicked slow.

[Assassin]

I saw the 30 minute in-game movie and holy shit, I want it even more. This is going to be the ultimate anti-boredom game. I hope it comes to console.

It will.. but first the PC. Then after a month or so.. it's gonna be on every console, handhelds, and even Cellphones.

Now thats some PR for ya! :gj:

You are my saviour

[Matterialize]

It's been stated in one of those articles that Spore is being released on PC, 360, DS and cell phones. It'll probably come out on Wii and PS3 as well.

Notice what these systems have in common? Online play! Also stated in either an article or one of the videos, X-Box Live users will be able to play/interact with PC users, which is pretty damn cool.

Or am I thinking of another game?

I think it's true, I think the producer said something about that in the 30 minute hands on. I could be wrong.

I can't wait to make some little planet conquering monkeys!

[FUBAR]

From what I understand, you wont have any direct interaction with other players. Though other players will influence your universe. Maybe I read it wrong, but what I think is going to happen is this...

It'll be a single player game. But it's dependent on online capabilities.

The creature's you create will be uploaded to an online database, where it will be rated by several different criteria.

Now say, a player creates a creature/race/whatever, that is too powerful for their world. The game will connect to that database, and look for player created creatures that are more powerful and download them to your universe, where it will rebalance everything on your current planet. Then, once you reach the space phase, it'll randomly populate worlds with other player created races and constantly rebalance this so that there will always be a challenge.

Also, you'll have some sort of ingame report that shows how many times your race has been added to someone elses universe. How many times your race has taken over someone else world/destroyed it. And how many times your race has been destroyed/taken over. Etc. etc.

So you never really have direct contact with other players, but indirect.

I hope that makes sense. Though I could be a complete retard and completely misunderstood everything I read.

[Tyler_Legrand]

:tsktsk: Just because you fewls don't like them, it doesn't mean TBC games suck.

Not me. Did you truly think my post was honest? "People are suddenly going to realise turn-based genres suck while playing it?" Seriously?

[Matterialize]

text

Yeah, that's what I meant. Not direct multiplayer, but in the sense that your world is eventually populated entirely by user-created creatures and such.

Seriously?

At the time. I must've been dead tired.

[F1shF1ngerz]

The first stage looked alot like flow, So I am going to buy this because as far as I'm concerned if they can make a better version of flow as a mere introduction of a game then it must be good

[Fresh Rob]

All I was saying about Turn base is that it wouldnt be like fun because there will be like 6 cities in the waiting line for a turn. A TURN! ONE JUST ONE!! If you ask me, it should stay RTS/Sim city style. Its fine the way it is.

[Matterialize]

Nobody even said it was going to be turn-based, in the thread OR in any of the articles. I don't know why you posted about it.

The only reason I said something about it is because the Ign.com forums said so

[Frank]

This game looks fantastic! I'm definitely going to grab myself a copy. Search Youtube.com and there is some pretty good demos of spore.

[Tyler_Legrand]

The only reason I said something about it is because the Ign.com forums said so

What the hell?

[Rillow]

What the hell?
Well, if you think about it Tyler hes talking about the turn base... IGN.com said something about the civilization maker I guess hes helping with Spore.

[Matterialize]

I hope they release a playable demo soon.

[Dodger]

Is there a date for the creature creator demo? or is that still way off?

[Far]

Still way way off, they don't even have a date for the game yet. Everything is still speculation. They are thinking around April 2008 but it's been said that whatever it is, the creature creator will be released as the demo a few weeks earlier.

Two new trailers:

[Matterialize]

Instead of resembling a microscopic organism, the microbe resembles a strange insect with cartoonish eyes... The human-like eyes were added to multicellular organisms "to make it cute," according to Wright during the 2007 TED seminar.

Fuck. I think they might've ruined the game for me. It wasn't all cutesy before, and now it is. The gameplay won't differ, but... it looked so cool and semi-realistic when the game wasn't all colourful and cute and whatnot.

God damnit.


Far, the descriptions for those videos say the release date is March 3rd, 2008. I wonder if that's confirmed?

[Far]

So Spore finally has a release date.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_%28video_game%29#Release_date

There is a teaser video that I can't seem to get working on the Spore website as well. Even though it's half a year away I'm still excited. Just hope we don't get shafted again.

[iGavin]

This looks and sounds really cool! Never heard of it before this thread, but If I have enough money when it comes out I'm definately getting it!

[Triple J]

This game is the definition of what makes games fun.

I'm looking forward to it. Looks as addicting as WoW though.

[Shagg]

Oh thank god, they've been delaying this game for too long and never ACTUALLY set a general date. This gives me something to look forward to. I NEED ME MY SPORE. But it's very depressing that it's coming out in September; they said that it would be out within the Spring of 08'. :wail:

[Matterialize]

Oh, sweet. I'm disappointed that it's still so far away, but this is good news. Hopefully it's a padded release date so they won't have to postpone it.

[Shmuh]

... Holy shit, it's for Wii?

Is Wikipedia lying to me?

[Far]

What I don't get really is that they had a completed version of it last summer at a german gaming convention and it's still taken a year to release.

I doubt I'll play the main game that much but I know I'll be messing with the creators all the time.
... Holy shit, it's for Wii?

There was a wii version announced ages ago but it's sort of been unofficially cancelled.

[Dresden]

I've never heard of it either, but it definitely sounds interesting. May have to try it out

[hardcoresk8r69]

I read about this game so long ago that I forgot what it was about.

[Spastic]

But in an interview released today they said there was going to be spore for the Wii.

Holy shit! Can't wait! My friend told me about this game like a year ago and I was in complete awe...

There was a wii version announced ages ago but it's sort of been unofficially cancelled.

Both the Wii and DS versions are defiantly coming out the same day as the PC version. (according to a Feb.12 interview)

If my PC can run this then I will get it, but if it can't then I'll see how the Wii version is.

[Far]

Good then, I'm all about this reaching more people.

[Tempest]

Does anyone know if they've released the computer specifications yet? It doesn't seem like too big of a scope but I have this nasty feeling that my PC won't be able to run it. And then I cry. :frown:

[Spastic]

They haven't as of yet Tempest, but I don't think it will be that high, I mean nothing about that game has mind blowing graphics, and I'm almost positive if your computer can play TF2 in a 34 man full server, that this game won't bother it too much.

[Fraudulence_Raft]

Can't wait. Wasn't this game on hold for years? I just hope they get this right, but from the look if it the developers probably will; I mean seriously, just look at the customization. This game could possibly be the new Sims; the new, better graphics, more cumstomizable Sims.

[Sarge51]

I gave up hope on Spore a long time ago. I am glad to hear it's close to becoming something real.

[Mr. Crow]

Dude, I'm totally going to make Pokemon with this.

[Triple J]

I found this article that really explains in depth what you can do in spore.

I think my hope is revived. I am getting this release day, if I can. :D

[Riddlebox]

Wasn't this supposed to come out like, November 2006?

I almost want to boycott because they've been delaying it for so long, but I know I won't.

Also, I'm planning on making a carnivorous race of 2 legged penises. It'll be great.

I don't think it's so much the graphics you need to worry about but the unique animations that are generated for each creature based on it's shape that are going to be a big problem.

[Spastic]

Yeah true, but I mean if the Wii can run it, then most likely it won't be too demanding.

[Matterialize]

Not to mention the size of the playing field in the Space Phase. The article quotes him saying it'd take at least a hundred years in real-time to conquer every species in the game world. (I know they wouldn't do something stupid like render them all at once, I'm just sayin'.)

[Sarge51]

Wow. 100 Years? That would be insane. If that is true, this game would have good replay value, and possibly addicting.

[Triple J]

I read somewhere that every enemy you come across was either created by you, or some other player. God bless lazy game designers.

[Pyro]

This game better be as good as it is made out to be. Or at least that it would be fun enough to develop species so it wouldn't get boring.

[Triple J]

This game better be as good as it is made out to be. Or at least that it would be fun enough to develop species so it wouldn't get boring.

I see what you mean, but it says in article that the creations could range from Tanks and robots to creatures that resemble South Park characters.

[Kass]

I've been waiting for this game forever.
It's seriously going to be the best game ever.
I will not leave my computer for weeks when this comes out.

[Mr. Crow]

Wow. 100 Years? That would be insane. If that is true, this game would have good replay value, and possibly addicting.

It has infinite reply value. Every time you make a new game, you can make a new creature, experience unique situations, make new cities and vehicles, etc. It's awesome.

[StoryTeller5]

I've been looking forward to this form the moment i herd this. And if you dont like a sim game you could skip to the end and destroy in space mode.But I'm hoping that it will come out for xbox 360 becuase i know my computer will not be able to handle it.But just looking at how every city and vechile is i cant imagen what happens when 1000's of people start playing.And the chance of seeing the same anamil twice is 1 in a million with editor mode.

...that.

[Sarge51]

I'd want my creatures to look like Star Wars clone or something. I don't believe that it has that great of customization though.

[Tyler_Legrand]

I'll recreate Mr. Tentacles.

[Sarge51]

Oh, I would make a bunch of Freakazoids that run around saying "Wooosh!". That would be hilarious.

[Pieman]

The sheer amount of Penises and Mudkipses will destroy the universe.

I feel the sudden urge to destroy an undeveloped penis colony

[Far]

The creature creator is being released June 17th as a demo, which gives access to 25% of the total pieces or a retail version for $10 which lets you use everything. It will allow you, once spore has been released, to import any of the creatures you've made with it into the game for use.Anyone else planning on picking up the retail version?

[Clerlic]

The only thing I DON'T like about this game, is that it's co-made by EA, which has a history of abandoning their games and not giving a shit about their customers afterwards.

[Far]

I'd agree IF it wasn't Will Wright spear heading it. He essentially wants this to be a new "sims" sort of franchise so I don't see him letting it die.

Fuck yes, I'm getting the retail version. And I hope to God that the EB Games in my town is selling it.

[Desert]

Oh shit, I thought this was for the Wii or something. I'm getting the retail version most definitely, now that I have a gaming laptop.

Edit:Oh, it is coming to the Wii. Whatever, I'm still getting the PC version.

[Far]

I pre-ordered the creature creator on the 31st for a grand total of $11. Needless to say I'm going to be creating creatures likes no ones business for the next few months.

I did pre-order it at an EB Matt so I assume most should have it.

[Tyler_Legrand]

Yeah true, but I mean if the Wii can run it, then most likely it won't be too demanding.

Doesn't mean the Wii will have the exact same version. They're also releasing it on the DS, whose version will be definitely downgraded drastically.

[Matterialize]

I think the DS version focuses solely on the tide pool phase, or something. Like flOw.

EDIT: Apparently it's the Creature Phase.

[Far]

The ds version is only going to be about the creature mode. It's an RPG about a creature getting abducted by a ufo and forced to live in a strange world.

Nothing is really known about the wii version except that it's being built from the ground up as a different game that will take advantage of the wii remote. They aren't porting spore over to the wii directly but rather making a spore related game for the wii.


Edit:Oh, it is coming to the Wii. Whatever, I'm still getting the PC version.

Good because the pc version is coming out on September 17th but the wii version is probably not even half way finished.

[Desert]

Really? It won't be as good as the PC version anyways, I bet.

[fisdunctional]

i am so pshyced about this game. the first thing I am doing on June 17 is checking the computer specs. That way I can go convinve my dad to buy a new graphics card and ram if it needs it. I don't care how, this game will be mine.

[Knight of Cydonia]

Hmmm. What a spot of bother I am in. I am wondering If I should purchase the computer version or the WII version. Both would own but the computer sounds so much better. My computer is pretty crappy as well. What your advice?

[Far]

No one has any idea when the wii version is coming out or what it will be like. The computer version comes out on September 5th for Europe and September 7th for the States. Go for the PC version or else you'll be waiting for ages methinks.

As much as I want to play this they aren't exactly great at getting games out so I think it'll be awhile before we see the wii version proper.

[whangadude]

I remember reading about this game like a year ago but completly forgot about it. I cant wait, I pretty sure my computer will handle it but if not I'll just have to upgrade, for a game like this I'll be willing to waste money on my computer.

They will probably filter out "obsene" creatures like the walking penises someone mentioned, which is annoying cos that'd be quite funny.

[Matterialize]

I think they addressed the penis monster problem in some magazine article, might've been PC WORLD. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow or something.

And, I'm starting to think my computer actually won't be able to run this thing. Do we know what the system requirements are yet?

[Clerlic]

I really don't think it's gonna need a Blue Gene to run properly, videos don't show any special graphics and the procedural generation takes microseconds to calculate.

No indication of the system reqs yet, which I find odd honestly, however in an interview Will Wright said that if you can run the sims 2 than you can run spore.

System reqs have finally been released and I must say they are highly manageable.

[ParadoxFiasco]

I rememebr reading that everytime you create a new species it is 'uploaded' in the background to a sort of spore mainframe, which is then sent out to everyone else who plays the game to inhabit planets in their galaxy.

If that be so, then surely the game has an infinite lifespan, for as long as people are creating new creatures, there are new races to meet/kill/eat.

If that be so, then surely the game has an infinite lifespan, for as long as people are creating new creatures, there are new races to meet/kill/eat.

It's is, in fact, so.

[Hunnter]

Oh the specs were posted, beaten.
I'm actually surprised at the requirements, i expected much higher.
Although now that i think about it, there isn't much going on besides alot of graphics, and physics to an extent when designing the models.

Anyway, i seriously can't wait for release, this is one game that i want more than anything.
I'm glad it did get delayed though, so they could work on it more, get it as perfect as they can.
Actually, now that i think about it, i can't even remember the Grobb, when did they get added into it? Glad it did, because an endless sandbox at the space phase, while fun, could get boring if there wasn't an actual task.

Also, i am glad they added in a "Species Watcher" to see statistics of your creatures in other peoples games, that is what will make this even more fun, indirectly competing with other species in other games.

[mrlego9]

people keep in mind this is maxis, who is know for pushing back release dates, even after they've been made official.
I'm still looking forward to it though, going to make me some brick like people(look at my name) , i wonder if i can manipulate squares to roll...?

The creature creator demo has been leaked. It's only the version with 25% of the final pieces but it's still insanely robust. I'm having a blast just messing around in it and this is only with 25% of the final pieces. The full set is gonna make things limitless.

[Knight of Cydonia]

Leaked as in downlaodable leaked? Wow..

Yup, this is the first creature I ever made in spore. It's kinda lame but I didn't really know what I was doing.

Hows the learning curve? Is it as easy to control as they've advertised it to be?

And this release doesn't have all of the tweaks in it, does it?

No this is just the demo version with only 25% of the total parts. You'll be able to buy the full creature creator on tuesday though for like $11.

It's really just drag and drop to get things where you want to be, even the size of things is all controlled by your mouse.

Hahaha, now I'm worried that the game world is going to be populated by factory rejects instead of penis monsters.

I'm not gonna go searching for the leaked version. It gets released on Tuesday, which I've booked off of work anyhow, so I'll enjoy the full game then.

Spore on the iPhone fucking awesome

It is an extremely stripped down version, and I think it is only the pac-man/centipede style game.

[OoooF4LiFe]

Probably no more stripped down than what the DS version of it will be. Though it probably won't stop people from getting it.

[Tempest]

They're not banning users who have it early, by the way, because they're the ones who released it early. They just removed much of the online functionality until the 17th release. It says so in the Sporepedia.

[Pieman]

There was a thread on 4chan yesterday about it. Some guy made an awesome swingset monster.

The sheer variety of monster we can create is enough to make me buy it, nevermind the infinite replay value. Though it would suck if we had to delete one savegame to start another. I'd like to have mulitple creatures at once.

It would be cool if we could make multiple ones on the same savefile, living together and shit. It would solve so many questions. (Flying penis v Pikachu anyone?)

Incorrect, we've been playing with the demo, which doesn't feature nearly as many body parts, etc. The full version of the creature creator comes out the 18th, it has all the parts. The full game is September 7th.

Oh really? I hadn't heard that. Well the creature creator will be bloody great then. I assumed the things that weren't unlocked had to be unlocked by playing the _real_ game. I thought this was just a free taste to get people ready.

Haha, I was thinking of making one of those other creatures, the badass ones with the backwards knees. Animorphs was the first series I really got in to. After it was Narnia, Harry Potter and then The Wheel of Time. Since then I've been stuck in the Fantasy genre, recently moving on to Sci-Fi. Perhaps next I should model the Piggies from Orson Scott Cards "Ender" novels (amazing series if you haven't read them).

I'm beginning to believe that the purpose of releasing the creature editor before the game is to develop a way to filter some of the less appropriate creatures.

I'm not sure, I had heard that as well and I've heard some stores are still doing it but it was never mentioned to me when I pre-ordered it. Maybe it's like a coupon that comes in the game?

I tried to make this guy:

I ran out of complexity though so i couldn't really tweek it as much as I liked.

Unfortunately the teeth don't animate with his mouth when he does the roar animation.

I haven't even downloaded the creature creator, but simply reading this thread made me preorder the full game. I'd always had an interest in it, but after constant delays I kinda forgot aboout it. Really looking forward to playing it now.

[Matterialize]

Far, that's really awesome. I've seen other attempts at that and they all sucked, but I went "whoa it's the cloverfield monster" before I even read the text in your post.

[blltmssgy]

Surprised that it hasn't been done yet, but here is my attempt at a:

I see the penis era is coming to an end. Maybe that's what's the developers were aiming after?

[blltmssgy]

Yeah, I figure each person is gonna be a twat for a couple days or so and then it's gonna wear off. Guess the developers had that in mind too.

[Soul]

Just imagine all the new peniii we'll be able to make when the full version comes out tomorrow.

Also my newest I was trying out the multiple joints thing and came up with Mozza

I can't wait until I can actually do something with these creatures.

That's a pretty accurate Bulborb, I like it

I asked for a request and Abbey told me a lamp so I give you Lamptor!

I just wish the teeth I added would animate with the mouth cause it would make it loads better, as it stands he looks good in pictures but anything involving the mouth ruins him.

[Bosskid]

You guys making boobies, butts, penises, and whatever else should be ASHAMED!

Hehe, someone try to make a Homer!

The creature files are only .pngs, so any image hosting site.

I can not see that very well, you should save it as a bigger picture.

Here, buy the Creature Creator now for 4.95 of your finest British monopoly monies.

Spore looks awesome. I just finished downloading the trial now.

Did someone say Pokemon?

Just bought Spore from direct2drive with my monopoly monies. Cant wait for it to finish downloading!

[Knight of Cydonia]

Alright I'm going to buy it from the EA store. I wonder how big the download file is though. That may actually be a problem. Also will I be able to download it? I live in Australia and I'm the American version. Will it work? The site is: http://eastore.ea.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayHomePage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE

[RandomAbuse]

I'm from Australia too, so rather than sign up for American EA I simply purchased from direct2drive. But American EA store may work too, not sure... Download size is 337.8mb.

[MetroGnome]

I'd rather get the CD for two reasons.

1. It comes with both installers for PC and Mac, and the download may only be for PC (I require Mac).

and 2. I like having the box and CD for collections sake.

But another problem is that I'm leaving for a weeks holiday this Saturday and want the game. So I think I'll buy it over direct2drive then buy the CD someplace else. Cost double, but I'm a CD whore.

I've made two creatures by the way. This is my first ever:

and my second:

[Rob]

I hope people who make Pokemon get their accounts disabled. Reserve spore for creatures and penis monsters only IMO.

[Pieman]

Metrognome, the second one looks like it has a gigantic penis hand.

AWESOME!

And Rob, how about Pokemon, with penises on them?
