Spore Creature Creator

That is one UGLY creature. :p

I can't remember, is the creator free with pre-order? Or, is it like $5?
 
is spore still coming out for the Wii or should i get it for PC?

have they announced any differences between console/pc version?
 
Where did you get it free from? The website says it's not out yet and that only a trial will be free.
 
I present Frostalorks

I think this will be a great game, but 2 things I dont like so far, the amount of limbs and stuff I could add to my creature was quite basic, I hope this isn't the case in the full game.

on the whole everything felt very low resolution to me, I was running in 2560x1200 and all the textures and such seems really low def and blurry :/

hmm, i thought the spore creator dude said he wouldn't release a 360/ps3 version because they aren't "next gen" in his opinion.

last i heard it was coming out for pc, wii and ds... i need to research now.

I'm wrong, i just looked at the wiki and it says its still under consideration for the 360 and ps3. It looks like its the Wii, PC, and the Mac(Intel only) for right now. The DS gets a spinoff version called spore creatures.
 
Here is the Raptor I made.

I can't believe they are going to charge for this thing. A lot of games have come out in the past (EQII for example) that shipped the character creator before hand for free if you pre-ordered or download.

I see no reason to charge for something that's just creating the creatures that you can't 'play' with, without the actual game anyways. It's just a visual tool that they chopped out of the game in an attempt to make an extra buck from it's novelty. ...unless I'm totally missing something.
 
Yea I have to agree. Personally I don't think it's worth anything. It's fun to mess around with for 30min and create a creature or two, and see how it ends up walking, but then what? You can't do anything besides walk it in a circle and click a few random emotions etc. If it had a little more depth it would be worth it, and I'm sure kids would love it. Something like minigames, races, etc.

And yea Frostex, the textures are definitely low res which is kind of annoying. The graphics could use a lot of work to further push the art direction they're going in.

You are missing something. The creature creator that you pay for has 75% more content than the free one. And if you order the creator for $10 you get $10 off the price of the game. Its also a way to make sure the worlds can be populated when the game ships.

Its a demo. The real game will feature planet colonization and much more.
 
Out of curiosity did anybody ever try making that creature with "butts for eyes" (from that VGcats comic)?

LOL, goodbye maturity :p.

I'm sure it's one of the first things people created. I did see a creature that had a long arched body so that it's purpose in life would be to stare at its own butt.
 
Im starting to really worry about this game.

I remember the original goal was to revisit the sim earth style of game and build in complexity. I would expect exponential options when designing your life form to be honest. The graphics on the screen shots look lo-res, with dodgy flat textured ground work and vacant flat back grounds..

I hope they have not dumbed it down too much from a simulator of life into a 'Sims' style of game for the brain dead masses.
 
half the planets are gonna be filled with walking penises from what im seeing so far XD

Actually from everything I have read the $10 will not be applied to the purchase of the game.
 
I have the Trial (Spore Creature Creator) its so fun, I cant wait till the game is out then i will buy it. Its pretty low on requirements. I get 30 FPS at stock settings on a 2+yr old laptop with a Radeon Xpress 200M with only 64MB shared ram (I can go higher but i don't want to reboot). Anyways it looks good but not great, here are a few pictures.

Your creature's head reminds me of a one-eyed version of John Goodman.

@Thor
TROGDOR!!! Are you going to make a Kerrek next? Can your Trogdor burninate stuff?

EDIT: And what about a Sterrance and 'Eh, Steve!' ?
