Will Wright is flocking brilliant.

During GDC Will Wright, creator of the Sim franchise (if you didn't know that then go choke on something), unveiled his new game called Spore. After reading some articles about what was shown I am in awe at the scope of this game. Basically you start off as a single cell creature and evolve and conquer the galaxy. Not only is the concept brilliant but the execution seems to be awesome too. Supposedly this game is actually pretty far in development so they got a nice eyeful of what it has to offer. Read these awesome previews:

I am definitely looking forward to this game.

 

So, after reading those articles what are your thoughts toward this game?

Good idea, but like all good ideas in games, I'll bet it'll turn out mediocre.

Oh wow... I can't wait to try this out. A single-cell organism that evolves, huh? I always wanted to play the part of an amoeba.

Uh huh...so every good idea becomes mediocre? Will Wright is one of the only developers who can take the idea of building a city or a family and making it FUN. Because of his game developing record I can actually look forward to this game being really good.
