Maxis' Spore-based action-RPG to be announced at Comic Con

Thank Christ - it's been much too long since I've read anything about Spore.

Let spore die please.

So, this isn't considered an announcement?

Dear Maxis,

Spore is probably one of the best videogame concepts EVER. Please, enough with this stuff and make a new Spore that is not cartoony and has a more robust and detailed evolutionary line that lets players choose the path of tons of species even those who lives in water or are birds, insects, etc. I know you may not read this, but I can only hope for it to happen.

Love,
RadioactiveFish

...Is that sparkster?

Spore RPG sounds kind of like Pokemon to be honest.

Told you, it's going to be Spore á Dragon Age.

I'm still waiting for the game that was the vision in our heads when Spore was announced. I want to kill a butterfly in the year 1, and have that screw shit up thousands of years later because that damn butterfly's one thousandth decedent would have captured the attention of a child (be it human or otherworldly) for a brief moment, while a car that otherwise would have struck the child (Jasonnnnnn style) drives innocently by.

Oh well...

I want them to do a spore reboot. The concept is fantastic and the alpha demo showed at E3 07(?) STILL blows us away when we see it. However the turd actually released was disappointed beyond words. EA tried to go for the casual gamer and it failed horrible. It disenfranchised and alienated the very group that was the most hyped about it!

Go back, throw out the cutesy design crowd and replace them with geeks who were excited about the game. Get rid of the lego price art and put realistic art in it. get rid of the jokes and have a game that inspires and fills you with the wonder of whats out in the universe. Like a game version of 2001/startrek/babalon/starget..etc

Put more depth into the game levels, for example, on the planet stage we should have something more in line with the civilization games. Where you negotiate, trade, war, build cities to improve, move up technologically..etc, in a deep story way, not in some simplified game.


When we get to space we should be building a galactic empire with trading ships,war ships,and exploration ships. Not just controlling only ONE ship like your some kind of intergalactic taxi/trader. Building space stations, construction factories, habitats, space labs, creating warp/star gates, galactic diplomatic centers..etc. Something like sins of a solar empire, nexus, X, homeworld. Then we should be able to beam down and walk around any of our structures.

Like I said, just thinking about what spore SHOULD have been sets my imagination on fire. EA really needs to reboot the game and do it right this time.

I haven't played Spore, but it doesn't strike me as the type of game you'd turn into an RPG. Why?
