boy, remember how Lorne had us agnst about a living enviroment with life cycles and gawk at the idea of a ODD rts/civilization sim?
well, spore is all that, and much more, not only it has real life cycles, but that biologic and natural feel actually comes from the users, the users design creatures and the creatures live out their own lives in their little planets, creating balance according to their ability to survive.
All the creatures are ultra odd...one of the sections of the trailer in the second link actually looks just like treehuggers VS industrialists, I'm telling you, you guys wouldnt even know the difference if in the next OW game the designs all came from here.
the game basically changes genere as you evolve your creature, each time it lays an egg you redesign it to become more powerful, once you reach sentience you start a rts/civilization sim game, and once you learn to go into space you start a intergalactic conquest game, with terraforming and deathstar rays n all that.
I just thought any OW fan should know about this.
EDIT: yay, thanks whoever (SEAREX?) for moving my topic =)
