why have I not heard of this before, surely its the largest revolution in gaming of the past 20 years. Best game ever? just possibly.

Best game = probably
Most inovation : most defantly, usuing procedual and taking wikification to the next level.

You just have this creature in the start, you control it and design how it evolves to fight off its natural predators. Its like you said, Sim City, just build

Oooooooooooh pretty. I tried desperately not to get hyped up about this, but by the end of the video it was hard not to be.

Fingers crossed it's good!

nikebee · 2 Mar 2006 at 00:35

been a game i've been extremely interested in for a long, long time... i cannot wait for this to be released.

goodbye life

Only worrying thing is what's to stop someone getting in their UFO and nuking your planet?

icehot · 2 Mar 2006 at 00:48

only thing i cant believe is that EA made this game.... bleh

Kreeeee · 2 Mar 2006 at 01:03

This will ultimately disappoint based on the amount that people keep building the game up.

Did you even watch the video? The planets are just simulated representations of other players worlds, not their actual world.

Indeed, your planet, culture, race, buildings are all uploaded to a server I'd imagine, then when you play, the game downlaods this content and puts it into your game

Does look like a very innovation game and i'm looking forward to it. But does anybody else not feel like it well become a bit samey samey.

Kind of like the Sims, there seemed to be a lot of choice but after a while it got really boring compared to how some other games fare over time.

Thats the thing you can go back to the start again and create a completely new race unique as you like and play the game a different way each time. Agreed when you have played it a bit you will get the idea on how to do it but after watching the video i thought to myself i would probably spend hours just creating the creature itself and another set of hours on the buildings!

Anyone know of a high res video?

The space part looks MASSIVE. And there seems to be such diversity. Imagine whipping round a few planets to abduct aliens, and creating a moon/planet which sole purpose is like a battle arena. You can then (maybe) play god by pitching two races against eachother, and see who wins and how. Terraforming planets sounds like a lot of fun...

dont forget the anal probing leading to crossbreading the 2 species to create a super fighter

The best bit is 6 minutes in when he attacks another creature you get the classic startrek fight music.

Looks very very very good

I can only imagine the game that Will Wright, Chris Sawyer and Sid Meir would come up with, with unlimited funding, it would suck sooo much of your time.

Or when two creatures mate and there is that 'make love to me' jazz music.

It does look a stunning game, cant wait till its out.

But what i'd like more is to see a lot of the concepts applied to other games. Imagine morrowind or nwn where other players playing the game dynamicly create quests which are then seamlessly plugged into your game, complete with their npc controlled character as the quests mini-boss. Or NFS where all the other cars are pulled in from other peoples games.

wikification and modding tools transparently build into the game could make for some really insteresting games.

that is one of the most absolutely amazing things I have ever seen.

Definately the most innovative games I have ever seen, that guy is actually brilliant. Finally we have something that can REALLY push boundaries, and I don't mean nudge - I mean relocate to a new galaxy!

Truly incredible, finally a reason to give EA some of my dosh...
