| Spore: What a concept! Has anybody seen that new game due for release some time early next year? It’s called SPORE, made by the same crew responsible for the SIM CITY series. I’ve been searching all over for video clips and in-game footage and have to say, it looks pretty damn good! |

| Re: Spore: What a concept! Read about this a year or so back - it sounds like the ultimate computer game, or something. I really like the idea of procedural coding; having the program figure out how a three-legged creature would move, and that sort of stuff. But as soon as early 2007? |

Here's one, but unfortunately no in-game shots. There is one floating around with in-game stuff, but I can't find it (I think it came with a PCZone DVD a while back, but I don't keep them). Here's a link to a load of screenies. | |

| Re: Spore: What a concept! There’s a really long segment of in-game footage at Youtube – half an hour or so. It’s the developer clicking through the various stages: single cell to sea creature, sea creature to land and eventually land to space flight. It’s Quite funny because his audience obviously have no idea the game suddenly leaves the planet and zooms right out to a huge solar system. You can hear them laughing and clapping. I read the game is due for release sometime in March. |

| Re: Spore: What a concept! My only concern with this game is that I'd have to get a top of the range PC to play it! And if it gets tied into Microsoft Vista, a new operating system too!! Oh well, here's hoping for a console port....  |

| Re: Spore: What a concept! Why bother responding with 'Never heard of it' when there's a link at the top of the thread and there are such things known as 'Search Engines'. EDIT: Oh I see, it's a 'slurp the board' attempt. |
