Regarding Spore

[Bateluer]

Do you think we'll see people on the fringes protesting the game because of its emphasis on evolution?

Hopefully not. That game is going to kick some serious ass.

Edit: And even if it does, I'm sure the gamers will do what they always do when somebody protests a game: ignore them and play the game.

 

[amish]

no

 

[mb]

I hope not, but I honestly would not be surprised.

 

[KB]

NO, because it will include a lawyer approved disclaimer:

"The following game contains ideas that may cause some religious fanatics to be upset. Evolution is a theory and a creation of the devil to make you a liberal. Do not play this game if you can't think for yourself."

 

[StevenYoo]

Bible thumpers make their own religiously biased games too, so why can't we have games about evolution?

 

[Vortex22]

I can't wait for this game. It looks incredible.

This isn't being released by EA is it?

AHHHHH good god noOOO!o!!!ooooOO!!O!o!!!

why oh why has this company absored everything like so much ameoba evolving into an ad-whoring, slavedriving, patch-botching behemoth.

Yes, I'm sure we will. But they'll all be fanatics that no one pays attention to anyway.
I wonder if old Jack Thompson will find something to complain about, though.

Will Wright is still making games? Awesome! I know nothing about the game at this point and am excited by it.

Only in a few states, he's currently going after Rockstar, again, for Bully. I believe he's also got a suit pending against Rockstar relating to GTA (again).

I heard this issue somewhere else before. Some people will protest it, but many people will just play the game. I wonder if this is Will Wright's last game.

What's the launch date? Mid 2007?

 

[djheater]

I want this game. and I never say that...

Cool, Will Wright is one of my favorite game designers. My other favorites are Sid Meyer (Civilization series), John Carmack (Doom and Quake series), and Chris Taylor (Total Annihilation series).
