this is too big for the video game thread. if you have an hour to kill,
Spore
click the 10th video down and enter some fake info and watch it. this blew me the fuck away.

i think ur thinking of OOT

pretty fucking amazing. pretty fucking pointless.

While I do see how big this is, this video was so damn dull.

snooooooooooooooooozefest.


Oh, and the game looks pretty boring to me.

This looks fun. Wright knows what he's doing. Without a doubt his best game. This is so epic.

Yeah I don't think I'm gonna care too much for this game, but the idea and the technology used are really cool.

i was too lazy to watch the whole thing...

so i skipped around and when i found it was some dude just talking, i closed it,

Haha, it's not... There's a lot of game footage in there too.

Do/Did you sleep in class?

interesting concept...probably wont play it though

whatever you say, mr. nopost

wow that guy said "um" about 3 million times.


but anyways that is a very very cool game

this game reminds me of Evo on super nintendo, it should be rad

i said that because its all done with code. there are no graphic models. almost every game is based off graphic modeling. the code gets renered straight to the game, meaning everything is fuckwithable. that and you can manipulate, literally, an entire universe with an unlimited variety of species.

Amen. I heard about this a couple days ago as well, that truely is amazing.

i am assuming this will be a PC release, and that you will need about 215654743232132 mbs of ram to run it.

Anyone want to sum up what the shit is going on in this thread? You know, for those of us that don't have an hour to kill?

Did you not listen to what the nigga was saying at the beginning?

Agreed!

nope.

What the fuck is this? Someone explain.

This dude has a created a video game where you start off as a microscopic organism and then work your way up to eventually human-sized life forms. But, the catch is that throughout the entire game you have the ability to edit your creature/world/universe/etc. so that every player's environment is unique. Also, (as far as I understand) the computer version of the game will be connected to a network of other players whose own creatures/worlds load into your game and influence it.

That's what I got from it.

That's pretty much the idea. However, as mentioned before, the game code does all the rendering, it isn't based off of pre-made modeling engines. So basically, depending on how you edit your character, the game will analyze your characters physical features and create the way your character will move and behave - so basically, you create a completely unique creature.

That sounds cool.

My creature would bring death and destruction to all!

So I sat here and watched... I want this. SO bad.

There's SO MUCH MORE to it than just making a creature! You make tribes, then cities, then whole fucking planets! You terraform other planets to make livable and start all over on each planet... This is incredible.

seconded

Can I buy it somewhere? I don't care if it's $100. I'll get it.

i always wanted a game that let you start off as some bum, learn to play guitar or something...if you dont practice you suck if you do, you rule...start a band, have a way to write stuff, if it sucks you suck, if its the shit, you become huge..maybe an online thing...something like htat....

same with like a football game, start highschool to the pros, if you dont do good in school you dont make it...you might not get drafted, stuff like that...

goddamn, this looks sweet.

or you know what would be sweet? if you like started out as like a single cell organism, and through generations you evolve and change into the most kickass creature you can..and then you like start a tribe of your kickass creatures and then your tribie builds a city and then you attack other cities until you rule the world, and then you go to OTHER worlds and take over them!! that would be sweet as hell....

Watched the whole thing. Fucking wow. So basically, this guy's found a way to take a game, give it an uheard of amount of range, and keep it compact. Like those guys said, you start off as a single-cell organism, and through decisions and upgrades you evolve, start civilizations, build, explore, etc. This game is completely different from any other game just based on its range. The creator (didn't even catch his name ) compares the different stages to various games from Pacman to Diablo to Sim City. It also links the different worlds created by everyone playing the game, and integrates those worlds into everyone else's galaxy. It's not a multiplayer, but it's still interactive with other people in that you influence other people's environments. It's not the prettiest game ever made (yet?), but the concept and execution are fucking amazing.

My organism would have a huge cock.

my creatures will multiply across the whole known universe wiping out all that stand in their superior ways.

If I had my way, my organisms would "have sex all fuckin' day and then eat a turkey sandwich!"

Getting kinda psyched for September after messing with the Creature Creator.
