Anyone have any updates on it? When it's coming out? Features recently leaked? Anything?

All I know is that the "official" release date is set sometime in 2007, which makes me a sad panda. But I did get new information recently, that I can create a creature which remains underwater. I wanted to do that, but since I saw the now famous video on googlevideo, I thought you had to go on land. But now I know I can make a civilization of fish people!

Anyways, give us your updates!

Pssh... Click-fests. Only good for RTS's, not for RPG's.

The lurkers creep me out, 'cause I used to play Ultima Underworld.

But I haven't heard anything about Spore recently, which isn't suprising, 'cause I rely on this forum for all my news. It's all completely honest and objective, after all. *nods*

The most recent one is from a month ago. Long enough to make another thread on it.

Anyways, you'd think with the stuff he showed in E3 2005, which basically made it seem as though the game was finished, Spore would be done by now. And Will Wright isn't one to delay games for the sake of getting more publicity. He wants to please the public, not make money. And besides, there's already so much publicity going around, anymore and people would start a religion. And besides, Will knows that if he doesn't release it by the end of 2006, he needs to start wearing body armor.

What's so great about Spore, it just sounds like another MMO.

I disagree. NWN is MUCH better than WoW or the Diablo-esqe games for RPGing. It depends on the module.

Firstly, it's not an MMO. It's an MSO. A massively single player online game. Instead of playing against other people, the stuff people make is actually inputted into your gaming world, so that it isn't all just generated by the computer. Secondly, don't you ever fantasize about being able to control an entire species' evolutionary process? Wait, better yet, let me get you the google video.

Watch it, and you will see what's so great.

Meh, never played it, so I can't tell. But all click-fest RPG's I've played had a tendency to suck, so I just assumed it's the same for NWN.

Let's disect MMO to prove the inaccuracy of this statement:
Mega-See Multiplayer.
Multiplayer-It's not multiplayer. Incidentally, if it's not multiplayer, it can't be mega multiplayer.
Online- Granted, it is "online", sort of.
Thus 1/3 right. Not enough to justify the term MMO.
And I can't believe I spent that much time debunking that.

No. That sounds boring as hell. Millions, correction, billions of years... of waiting...

If you've ever played Evolution, you know that that is a terrible premises for a game.

But in this game, you can conquer other species. That friggin' rocks.

Now if I can create nations and wage wars with other players created nations, then I would be all for that.

That first statement is true. But Spore allows you to speed things up to a couple of hours!

And about that second statement, do you know where I can get that (and about any other game where I get to play God or get to control evolution) as free or abandon ware? And don't recommend HotU, already been there and cleaned it out.

You can! Along with massive space battles! And the ability to blow up the home planets of your enemy! And the ability to enslave other species! And take lower life forms and put them in zoos!

Umm... no... Seriously, it's a really bad game. It doesn't even have a Wikipedia article. I'd send you my copy of it, but I lost it a long time ago...

EDIT: BTW, have you ever played Docking Station?

Yeah, but I got frustrated by my lack of ability to directly control a lot of things. Maybe if I had actually gotten all three Creatures game I would like it better.

Then do you know where I can get it? Or, once again, any game where you get to play god or get to control the evolution of entire species(s)?
