Would be a good thing but we have a better thread in the Feedback section... Oh wait, this one's better... THANK YOU TRI-PIE!!!

If Maxis kept the old Engine, they could probably just update a few things (e.g graphics, fixes, tweaks etc.) shove it in a new box and title, churn it out by the thousands and have a happy community and a LOT more money. WHY DID THEY NOT THINK OF THIS??!! The injustice of being force-fed kiddy-food! SPORE was awesome at the beginning, now it's just a toy for babies! WHY??!!

Because... They thought, following the trail of Wii, that kids games were what would give them the more success.

In a time of economic crisis, when parents are going to cut the spends on expenssive toys for the kids, they are now bound to realize that the adult pc market of people who pays for their own products is what they should have aimed for. IMHO. Time will tell.

i dont think they should make spore 2. more like a diffrent game thats more based on science

Bump...

Yea, very dissapointed, science spore looked great, even just changing the creature phase to what the 2005 one was like but obviously better would be good...

Personally i find the creater creator/s from the 2005 models look better than the current ones for some reason O.o Anyone else share this view?

The correct, full name would be Necromancer.

(Cool to see such an old and great thread bumbed up in this morass. I suppose Rocket Girl long went the way most of us did?)

What was I gonna say? Oh right: FU2, Will.

Hmm... A more accurate and more exciting Spore wouldn't be any disadvantage, I think. However, we have to wait until the one or another new version or even new game comes out. My advise is, to look out for new evolutionary games.

Such as the one you're helping to build, for example? [/innocence]

Math time!

Ok, let's say Maxis churns out around 10 million for this new Spore. Since there is 650 people who will 100% get it here, and around 50 that won't, it is a 13:1 ratio, and let's just for heavens sake say the 150 that is undecided or doesn't care is split down the middle. So it is about 6:1.

So take the over 10 million spore users, and divide it by 6. That gets us 1666666 users who will buy it.

If Maxis charges $30 per game, than Maxis will get 50 million.

Now that is only the people who ALREADY have the game... I can't calculate how many people will buy the game, but Maxis will 100% make a profit off of this... For only $30! And many of us would pay a good 40-50!

i couldn't agree more with this thread, i was kinda dissapointed with spore, i was hoping for what we saw in 05-06, but if they remade it that would be amazing, i'm not sure if this was mentioned as i just skimmed through but what ever happened to the procederal animations and verbs, wasnt every creature meant to move or behave differently but now they all seem to have the same spastic waddle, and i personally think they sound too cute, you should be able to choose like a voice for your creature.
Something that really annoys me is that they added abilities such as bite, charge etc because now all the creatures look the same when they fight and it gets repetetive and boring, i prefered it before were there was just a strength bar and speed bar etc, also in 08 spore i could easily create a simple ball and give it the best weapons and it would be the best creature in the game but where as in 05-06 you had to carefully design your creature, but maxis thought it would be bad if there was badly designed creatures but that made it FUN! i could go on and on but i'll shut up now

bump

wow i forgot about this

NORLY?
