Maybe when it finally releases I'll have a computer capable of playing it without blowing a fuse.

I've been looking forward to this coming out for a while now. Although I'm curious to see how good of a system one will need to run it.

nope if you read the interview on popular science it is to be released on every platform possible including cellphones. everything is highly compressed and the creature files which are one of the largest files is to be only a total of 7KB worth of memory when saved. this is to be his crowning achievement and gift to the world. it will be phenomenol that it will be so easily playable and will be one of its highest selling points.

Does every platform include consoles?  *You have no idea how slow my home computer is.*

Post by: Khem on July 20, 2007, 07:12:26 PM
from the interview he seemed to want it to be all inclusive, so PC's, Consoles and anything else you might be able to play it on.

It's a bit of an older version, but it's  35m video that goes through the whole concept and shows many of the features. Personally I've been looking forward to this game for a damn long time.

I hate it when I find out about a good looking game so early in production.

And when i was looking at it, is it a MMO?
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Thargoid on July 22, 2007, 06:33:20 PM
My brain is going crazy waiting for Spore!

It's only the fact that I've been waiting for Elite 4 longer means I keep a good grip on reality.

No it's a single player game, however content is shared between games such that when I'm playing my game I might come across your world as a NPC world... and blow it out of the sky.
Title: Re: Spore!

alright, but the game, looks awesome!

and yes taco, peolpe can like more then 1 game.

I never said they couldn't and the "Games" folder on my computer is plural for a reason  :D

they are calling it a Massively Single Player Game for this very reason.

Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Trey on July 26, 2007, 05:49:19 PM
Don't worry, everybody has that title that should have been out last year and might not come out until next year...

PS3: Metal Gear Solid 4
Wii: Pick one: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, etc.
XBOX 360: Surprisingly devoid of one...assuming Halo 3 comes out on time.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Bara on July 26, 2007, 08:46:23 PM
what if you dont own the above 3? i own a ps2...
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Trey on July 26, 2007, 09:45:22 PM
Well, you're not as screwed as Gamecube or XBOX owners; there are still original games coming to the PS2.  Just not many.  For the most part, you're screwed too.  And get the $500 PS3s before they run out; they're not making any more.  Once they run out of the 60 GB PS3s, they are going to replace them with $600 80 GB consoles that come with Motorstorm.  Is 20 more gigs of space and Motorstorm worth another $100? 
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Khem on July 26, 2007, 11:42:33 PM
i'd say it isn't worth the hundred. also i love gamecube but thats because of animal crossing, which is one of my all time favorite games.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Trey on July 27, 2007, 09:12:13 PM
I'm sorry, maybe it's a testosterone thing, but I hate Animal Crossing with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

Teeth-grindingly so.

Whats spore?

I know its a very good game that you build these bug-like life forms, but not really anything more than that. -_-
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Bara on July 29, 2007, 02:47:20 PM
google it, wikipdia it, and Youtube it.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Kozai on July 29, 2007, 08:48:33 PM
Youtube doesn't work for me... nor does any videos.

EDIT: I WANT SPORE! If I can't get it for the PS3, and if I have a new copmuter, I'll get Spore still!
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Trey on August 01, 2007, 10:45:30 PM
What happened to your PC that Youtube doesn't work?

Well anything worth doing is worth waiting for I suppose.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Kozai on August 02, 2007, 04:47:37 AM
You can edit how your race looks in the tribal and above phases, right? Or does that end in the creature phase?
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Khem on August 02, 2007, 09:23:00 PM
it is currently unclear on that point, i am pretty sure you do because you need to go into the creature editor to get a better brain for your creatures for them to get to each new part of their social and technological advancement. thus you will most likely be able to evolve at all points.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Kozai on August 03, 2007, 03:09:09 AM
Good... because my race should be like some warmongering, crazy, uberstrong race.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Tacolicious on August 03, 2007, 05:06:21 PM
I think I remember seeing a robot arm sketch in one of the dev images I saw. So maybe you can augment your race to have cybernetic limbs which would be sweet =]
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Khem on August 03, 2007, 05:45:05 PM
/me is becoming slightly impatient about Spore coming out.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Bara on August 04, 2007, 12:22:17 AM
Just wanting to know, what will your races be like?

Mine will be tall and fast.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Khem on August 04, 2007, 06:06:42 AM
my first race will be large cute and ferocious, my second race will be small cute and peaceful vegitarians. most likely going to make the second race faster.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Tacolicious on August 04, 2007, 07:03:09 AM
I want to make a species which is a big ball of tentacles. Some with beaks, some with claws/spikes, and some with more dexterous hands. If I can find some way to make them flying amphibians then I figure I'll be set. All glory to the Tentlarzian Empire! A race of Zoidbergs would also be cool  :D

Post by: Cyadkuso on August 04, 2007, 09:42:11 PM
what i want to know is if you can change anything like how long they live for, how many are born at once, or how quick they can make more. cause if i could i would want a creature that can swarm over the world in a huge tide.
Title: Re: Spore!
Post by: Bara on August 04, 2007, 09:48:22 PM
the Horde...
Title: Re: Spore!

nope mating and reproduction are set to the evolution of your species, it won't be a case of being the horde.
Title: Re: Spore!

but that would be cool.
Title: Re: Spore!

Apparently when you get into terraforming you can also genetically engineer new creatures. I want to find low tech worlds and drop super monsters for them to deal with =]

the level at which you can terraform planets is going to be orgasm worthy.

Nerdgasm does roll off the tongue. It's a very sensual and nerdgasmic word. Geekgasm is just wrong, it reminds me of the episode in which flanders jokes about putting the pal back in Principal, and chalmers stand up and jokes about putting the super back in superintendent... and nobody laughs
