If you haven't already seen, take a look: linky

Haven't looked through the whole video, but it undeniably looks interesting. Always happy to see games a little different.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Thanks for posting that link OtZman.. I had heard about Spore, but never saw any video. That was truly amazing. Can't wait to play with this.

I've been playing games too long to get overly excited about this. Note when he describes part of the game as being randomly generated and when he doesn't - specifically, parts of civillization building and planetary exploration seemed as though they would be pretty linear in comparison with the early game's open-ness, and he made no mention that features such as your species' architecture or the look of function of the UFO would vary based on your choices.

It's like how developers seem to make with every game the old promise that it will have fully destructible environments, but ingame that feature always turns out to be cheap, unsatisfying, or nonexistant. Not that this game makes that promise: I'm talking about the general rule that games are always much cooler when you aren't sitting down to play them.

In short - looks awesome, but looks are usually deceiving.

i watched the same thing a few nights ago. it looks interesting, but i don't know if i'd have the patience needed to play a game like that.

It looks amazing, I hope it lives up to what it could be.
