Sci-fi action RPG? From Maxis?
Err... I feel as though I should politely ask them to get out of my genre.

I look forward to this. I loved spore editor. I made about 400 things on it. Though the gameplay was lacking. I spent most of my time in the editor/creator mode.
There was one... Galactic adventures. Or were you saying you'd like another expansion, in that case, me too!Serris said:
No No. Nononononooooooo.
I'm not reading up on any of this after the utterly fucking colossal disappointment that was Spore.

I enjoyed parts of spore. Mainly, the Creature Creator. I found that to be the most fun out of the entire game. The rest of it was a watered down version of five other games that did it better.
The only way that Maxis can make this right is if they start rethinking what real content is. The player needs to be engaged in something evolving, not with static elements like the rest of Wright's games have been. Sim Societies was an abysmal ride through City Planning using static elements that limited the player based on the amount of "creativity" or "spirituality" their town had. Sims 3 suffers even worse from this, having a system where all the personalities are fundamentally the same without room for cultural intuition or characterization (Polygamy is impossible. The AI is horrendous, ect.) and Spore suffers from the unfortunate effect of having it's entire situation be one big joke. The game play is the same no matter what path you take. It could have been so much better.
So if they're taking the framework of Spore and remaking Spore into what it should be, good. I'll probably see if my consumerzombie buddy of mine will buy it and I'll play it. But if it's just making use of Spore's mechanics to create some sort of Action RPG, then it's destined to fail. It's gameplay mechanics aren't meant for that sort of game, and working from the framework will cause a lot of issues.

I'm still waiting for them to deliver what they promised with Spore. It was a cop-out on what you promised Will. I hung on your every word since you announced spore. It was like a Molyneux promise except I believed you. I even bought the galactic edition for petes sake.
Did I get a game were my creature would live or die depending on how well I made it? No I didnt. I could win the game with a 12 ft tall penis if I wanted. Maybe I'll consider buying another maxis game when youre ready to fix Spore

I want something like this too. I want a species of hulking, mean-looking, badass arachnids... who are out to save the universe.RelexCryo said:
