Will Wright talks Spore on Wii, delays, procedural music

Nay... a GOD.

No gods no kings, only man.

That's because you have no soul and you're destined to die alone.

"someone who played Animal Crossing everyday for over a year"

You mean a loser?

Vegeta has won SO HARD with that comment.

Animal Crossing is good, but I'm sorry... because you are completely F-ed when Spore comes out. I'm dead serious. It will own you completely, and you will cry for mercy after it keeps you captive for days at a time, attempting to put extra arms on your mutant bunny-shark, visiting all the various planets in the user-generated galaxy, getting eaten by giant scorpion-monkey-squirrels. You are completely F-ed.

Or 'the greatest'?

Boring... PS3/360 = PC, what's been said about the PC version will likely be exactly the same as those two console versions. There's no reason to make a feature exclusive to the PS3 or 360 when there's nothing really unique enough about them to merit a change... besides the odd Xbox Live achievement and such.

Additionally, Will Wright considers Wii to be the ONLY next gen console, so he's more excited to develop for that than for the PS360.

Well, they need to justify how damn long they've worked on this game, no?

It'll sell well enough on the PC, no need to dumb it down for the console, unless they make it mouse required on the PS3.

I'd say, "I'll take 7, please!"

I'd wish for my con-man father that stole my kidney. That ... or a submarine.

I would wish for a question mark for your post.



And a pony. Everyone wants a pony.

No, it's going to come down to the controls on the Wii version. The procedural generation may be the same and everything, but the reason people would buy it over the PC version is they like the feel of the Wii Remote better or think they'd have more fun controlling with Wii Controls. In that sense, it will be totally different (judging from Will Wright's enthusiasm, he probably has some big plans for the controls).

I won't be suprized if the Wii is actually more capable at handling procedural content than the 360 or PS3. Even if the pure specs are lower, optimization for certain types of data input and logic structures can drastically improve actual performance.

I'd actually dare guess that the PS3-version with ample optimization would pull this off better.
Problem is that it takes shitloads of optimization of the code for it to be effective on the PS3.
Still, if they were to do it, the PS3-version would work even better than the others, due to the unique nature of its processor.

Though I'd get it on the 360 over PS3 (and I will in the end get it for PC instead of any other format anyway xD)

Any preformance or structure differences between the formats won't matter because one of the reasons this is taking so damn much time is that they're working on producing an engine that generates all this as effectively as humanly possible. That's why Spore is even possible :D




And on a side-note, anyone who complains about how this promotes either evolution, intelligent design, anti-religion or religion - pretty much ANYTHING similar: If you REALLY have to complain about everything you possibly can complain about, then waste your time on targeting a situation where your complaints actually apply. Spore may use the word evolution at times(not certain if it actually does) and it it is mentioned together with the word evolution by people, but all it is is a friggin' GAME. A GAME that wants YOU to be CREATIVE and MAKE UP creatures. The creatures won't run around your house after you have created them and you won't be playing GOD. You will be entertaining yourself while utilizing your CREATIVITY (something you should be THANKING them for.)

Alright?
So take your religion back to the nearest church and stop putting words in other people's mouth (because yes, that's what you're doing when you claim a game is anti-something that it isn't. No developer would benefit from alienating people from wating to play their game. Learn to be realistic -.-)



Also, I really hope the creatures-only version will come SOOON
