Yea, checking those atm :-)


Darkspore teaser trailer was quite cool. A little wanabee starcraft rip-off, but cool.
Looks promissing, can't wait to see more.



Darkspore story, from Darkspore.com:

For eons the Crogenitors traversed the galaxy, genetically transforming and sculpting living matter to their will. In their unchecked arrogance they created something they could not control - the Darkspore. Now the galaxy is under siege.

Using the powers of E-DNA, the Darkspore has transformed planetary populations into mutated hordes. Its sole purpose...to dominate life on all planets.

You are a fugitive, hidden for a millennium. Your mission...to reconstruct an arsenal of genetic heroes. And lead the battle against the Darkspore.

The time to strike back is now!

looks like it will be a good game, but unfortunately from what I've seen it looks like you have set characters, so Creature, vehicle and building editors are out the window..

There will be creature creator with thousands of parts, upgrades and such.

I just hope it satisfies our expectations

Same here...well we can always hope right??

Wait so there will be creature editor.... or is ark just being ark and messing with my mind. (I didn't have time to watch the entire thing)

on the website it says improved spore creature creator so no, there is one

I dreamed DarkSpore today. It looked so unreal, probably cuz it was. D:

No vehicle editor no spaceships..... NOOOO!

Hah! I was right, and some people did'nt trust us.

I get the feeling thisd will not satisfy us in regards to Spore. It's selling point has beenr emoved, since the universe is not looking a like it is completely customisable.

However from what I have seen, There IS Multiplayer Which is a plus I suposse

Yes, I agree it's great that there will be multiplayer. Not that I'm still sceptical.

Woah, really? Thousands?! That had better make up for the no-other-creators part...

And the multiplayer, although multiplayer nonetheless, still looks a bit basic.

So, when is this new horror released then? Can't wait!

Atleast it will contain PvP battles, and an upgraded verson of the creature editor. But where is the vehicle and building editor?

I was hoping for an enchanted more mature and darker version of spore.. this is more like an spore RPG. Not that im very skeptical about this i just like the idea around classic spore more than this..

Just checked... And... Those creatures really look pretty detailed. Like, awesome and all...

Hey, Vek, you never told me you'd be an epic tree-dude in the new Spore game!

Epic tree dude? I've not watched it yet, not at home atm.

@ Icedmask: well that is what they described it as.... Also I hope they'll do a GA sort off thing were you can make your own missions/Plannets?

Edit: Also checking the FAQ in both Darksporum and Sporum will provide information.

From what Ive seen of the demo version this looks like an OK RPG game, but however, nothing to do with "old spore" except for the idea of a creature editor.

Does anyone think it's going to be a share/rate/MPN thing like in the classic spore? I mainly use Spore to create, so I really hope for some similar features in this game..

This Darkspore=What GA should've been really.

EXACTLY.
It is GA and C&C + 50 more parts.

What I don't like is that you can't create anything, just these heroes..

Meh Although I like creating things, We still havent played it yet. so It could still be changed.

Most people like creating things. Darkspore attracts me however because I prefer action. Don't know how many spore players are gonna get Darkspore however.
