Will Wright's Next Game: Spore

Posted by Zonk on from the it's-growing! dept.

1up.com has a look at Will Wright's newest game, revealed today at the Game Developer's conference. Entitled Spore, the game promises to be (in a word) unique. From the article: "Wright's latest creation spans the rise of a space-faring civilization from its humble beginnings in the primordial soup. 'It's actually a lot like WarioWare...It features a wide variety of game types as a sort of homage to my favorite games.'" PC Magazine has details as well, as does Gamasutra.

    "It's actually a lot like WarioWare"

    Unique:
    1. Being the only one of its kind: the unique existing example of Donne's handwriting.
    2. Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled.
    3.
    a. Characteristic of a particular category, condition, or locality: a problem unique to coastal areas.
    b. Informal. Unusual; extraordinary: spoke with a unique accent.

    I really hate Dan Patrick.
  2. Sounds great, but can Wright deliver? by Jagasian · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This game sounds like a combination of several types of games that I love. However, what sounds great on paper doesn't necessarily translate into a good final product. Any screenshots anybody? Is this vapor or are we really going to see a unique game on the PC for once, as opposed to yet another tactical first person shooter?
