I haven't seen this mentioned anyway, looks pretty sweet:

That looks really good. Will have to keep an eye out for that.

Interesting! We need something like this. Well I do, anyway.

Reminds me of Populous The Beginning but on a much more epic scale

Same, and the little fellas smelled of Black & White. The sooner devs start making up-to-date, loyal remakes of the great old games, the better!

Exactly what I was thinking. Except,. I think the lady said there's no way for you to control the tribes people directly. Even so- this is how a new Populous game should start

Been looking forward to this since E3 last year. Think it's coming out on Xbox first though on the 20th July or something.

Looks very interesting

What do you actually do on it? I don't really see any point in it from that video.

Booner! · 16 Jun 2011 at 16:59

I want that so bad, looks good if it's like populus or black and white combined.

Jed Shields · 16 Jun 2011 at 17:35

Yeah it looks like it's more focussed on terraforming and providing for your tribe, rather than getting the tribe to change the landscape with magic, as with populous The Beginning.

I'd imagine you can only do a small amount at the start and maybe get more power with increased worship from the tribe?

So is it like The Sims?

Looks awesome, reminds me a little bit of a cross between black and white and minecraft. Have to wonder how well it will work on console though, seems more suited to the pc I think. I think its the kinds of game I could just sit and watch. Found a trailer from e3 2011:

Actually looks really good, would be great if it offered full support for the PC rather than consoles, imagine that sort of creation with full blown Dx11 etc.

Shall have to keep an eye on it!

looks very good

Looks dull.

I expect it will fall into the same pitfall most god games do, i.e. you dont feel anything like God playing it.
Babysitting every little scrote just so eventually you get to throw a lightning bolt, cause an earthquake, erupt a volcano is just boring.

Better video's are available on gametrailers as the one linked by the OP is nearly a year old, game is out in Q3 on PC, PS3 and XBox, E3 trailer looks really good.

Seeing as this was developed by the guy who made another world I'm willing to give this a go. Did not like black and white so going in with low expectations
