Shortly after our hands-on preview, we got a chance to catch up with Thomas Vu, producer for Will Wright's Spore, to put all sorts of questions to him. Find out what Thomas thinks of DirectX 10, creationism, the girl market and, um...probing.

I'm interested and a the same time completely bored with this game. It could be the most addicting thing sense Roller coaster tycoon 1 or it could be another crysis, amazing yet I play it once all the way through and never touch it again for months. I don't know what to think.

Yeah, it is hard to get excited when we have been hearing about it for years, and we still have another 7 months to wait :S

Why all the worries about Creationists? The game may follow an evolutionary pattern, but everything's still being guided behind the scenes by an intelligent designer... I could actually see this going a ways to reconcile that particular debate by showing how evolution and God are not mutually exclusive. (Of course, that would require people on both sides of the issue to look beyond the knee-jerk reaction. I'd say that'd happen when pigs fly, but then Spore makes that perfectly possible, too...)
