My first creature is going to have 8 legs and be called George.

For me this is the most exciting game release-buildup for PC of 2008.
It's not often in the past few years that I get so excited about the release of a game, but I really cannot wait to get my hands on this.

HellRazor · 14th Feb 2008, 12:26

I'll name him....

Because I'm sure my crazy imagination is going to cripple my creature in ways I can not think of!

What's the betting that the only way of getting the editor early is to pre-order the game through EA downloader

matee · 14th Feb 2008, 13:13

I'm pretty sure it will be like willowthewhite said. That woud be a stupid move imho.. If they would make the editor for everyone more people would like to interact with their creatures = more will buy the game.
It would be nice if there would be an option to design buildings also.

scarrmrcc · 14th Feb 2008, 13:22

what would be really nice, is the ability to save what you create, for use in the game (to import) that way if you like your creature, you don't have to make all over again...

Veles · 14th Feb 2008, 14:21

Sweet! I'm not too bothered if I can't transfer from creature editor to game when it's released, just playing around with it will be fun enough, I'm sure I can recreate anything without too much effort if I really want to.

Spore: Genesis, Verses 1 - 7

On the First Day, Will Wright created Spore. And he saw it was good.
On the Second Day, EA publish Spore. And they saw it was good.
On the Third Day, Europe gets Spore. And we saw it was good.
On the Fourth day, gamers created our own world. And we saw it was good.
On the Fifth day, America gets Spore. And America saw it was good.
On the Sixth day, gamers across the globe upload their content. And we saw each other's monsters were good.
And on the Seventh and Final Day, Gamers gave up life in favour of Spore. And we saw it was good.

I'm going to make the angels that star in the Evangelion series! ^_^ Or try to at least. :P

*Prays EA don't **** this up*

I can see it now.

I have the most awesome creature idea for when this thing comes out

DXR_13KE · 15th Feb 2008, 00:26

after all it wont be bundled with duke nukem forever.....thank G.... Spore for that.... and i see it will be different this time, first in Europe, then in the US.

chrisb2e9 · 15th Feb 2008, 01:32

I am willing to bet that it will be free. I think that they are going to want people to be able to populate the universe with other people's creatures when the game first comes out. best way to do that is to give the creature editor for free and let people upload their creatures.

CowBlazed · 15th Feb 2008, 05:03

I though in the game you started off with a simple creature, and then built up on it as you evolve. How that ties in with someone building a creature in a standalone creature builder I can't figure out. They'd have to be either the simplest creature form, or allowed to be fully evolved, yet without actually playing the game.

CardJoe · 15th Feb 2008, 07:48

No, in the full game you design from scratch too. Everyone starts with a single cell, some feelers and a mouth, but from there you can add or take whatever you want.
