Well, that's better. Still a whole year, though.

Is that a care barometer? A carometer? Steady carometric pressure?

It's more akin to a scale than a barometer. Instead of measuring pressure, it measure quantity via a standardized weight system where each individual unit of care weighs exactly the same as a mallomar. Each level is a measure of three units of care.

 

So, by my saying that my level of care has neither risen nor fallen, then I am saying that this effects me only between 0 to 2 mallomars.

This game has never been attractive to me. Now, if DA is postponed two years I'll be upset.

 

I remember when Origin postponed Ultima IX for about two years while they rebuilt the rendering engine and rewrote the story, and the results of that mess.

It better be good.

What is so special about this game? Isn't it just a tamagotchi game?

You don't want to play a sandbox game where you can design your own creatures ... like microbes, then small reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, etc? :thumbsup:

Exactly.

 

I wonder if Intelligent Design freaks will use this game as some sort of "proof" when it comes out :ermm:

It's actually a very good proof of the non-existence of a god: the fact is you need someone very clever and a lot more complex than the game to create the animals ... where did we come from? :ermm:

Nonetheless, if this game works (and it should since it's Wright we're talking about :ermm: ) it'll be so, so awesome.

As long as my creatures get to be born from eggs and implant their seeds in the chests of other creatures for a secondary stage of life, then I'll be happy.

 

Which means Will Wright will specifically prevent my idea from being possible.

I think one of the things that I found potentially attractive about this game was the concept of people uploading the worlds/aliens they create (or something?), that other people can download and add to their own game, making the game universe ever expanding/unpredictable. At least, if I understood things right.

Geez, even if you're not a fan of Will Wright games, I don't know how you can be negative about one of his projects. The guy has been huge for PC gaming. I can't think of any two games that have brought more new gamers into the fold than Simcity and The Sims. He can take as much time as he wants.

I dont get the delay... it looked like the game was already finished.

You're right ... they obviously just wanted to take a break now, before releasing the game, rather than just wait for a few months.

What was it about the preview that made you feel like that? I have to say that it left me feeling like this game might be rather a mess of different styles of games, getting none of them quite right.

Well, it was in a playable state 3 years ago. They've had plenty of time to get each part of the game right.

And as I said on the previous page, Soren Johnson, the lead guy from Civ IV joined the Spore team, so getting that part right has become quite probable.

Spore looks like a kiddie game, i hope they change the graphics a little bit

 

My guess is its sposed to be a mass market thing. Something everyone can play. As its done by the Sims guys.

 

But they've shown you can create pretty much anything you want in the creature editor.
