I can imagine that the game is going to end up populated with a million Protoss and Zerg clones. Not really sure what to think about this from the trailer, looks interesting though.
Well it looks better than the trainwreck Spore turned out to be.
In fact I've just applied to the Beta. Fingers crossed.

I'm in the beta. Currently it's down for maintenance when it should be up for its 24 hour window of playtime.
Not sure how much I'm going to enjoy it. It looks like Spore meets Diablo II, but in a really childish way.
And when EA realized just how out-of-hand Diablo II got with its hackers making super-mega-ultra characters and taking them online, they decided to implement a really stupid feature in the game that saves all data server-side, meaning- you guessed it- you have to be online 100% of the time to play the game, even single-player.
YAY FOR STUPID DRM

Im a big fan of spore, TBH I was a little dissappointed that it diddnt live up to my expectations and the game is to restrictive, but I love the creature and ship creator and still enjoy slowly taking the galaxy with my race of 4 armed Ithorians
It looks like they used Spore to make a Diablo-style game. Admittedly not a terrible concept, in fact do it right and it could be an even better version of Diablo. However, remember that the Spore creature creator engine is very, very open to abuse.
Now I didn't think Spore was that bad of a game. Admittedly it was a little more shallow than I thought, but it wasn't anything horrible. There's definately potential in a game like Spore for a multitude of different genres.

Just as a note for all those interested in this game: You don't create your own creatures, you have a wide variety of "heroes", each with their own backstory ("wide variety" = 100+). The customization looks pretty insane though. Even though you can't create your creature from scratch, it looks like you can still give your creature a lot of different parts like feet, hands, heads, etc.
The main problem with Spore was that they over-simplified things. Anyone who watched the early footage of the game would have been amazed by the depth to which the game allowed the creation tools to be used.
Maybe the combat will be enough to make up for the fact that the creator doesn't live up to it's original greatness. Though I'm skeptical as to whether or not it will have a serious enough feel to be fun, I think it might end up being too childish and simple once again.

I liked spore. It was fun.
And this looks like it combines to my two biggest addictions.
Creating things with my own hands, and unlocking bigger and more shiny objects to beat people with.
I mean, whats the most rewarding part of any dungeon diving game? Completing a quest, or finding AWESOME LOOTZ!?!?

Hrm... the big question is how many of those alterartions actually affect gameplay and how many are purely aesthetic, and the big risk is that everyone will end up with the same generic/hideous builds because they're the most effective.
WAS THE TRAILER LOUD ENOUGH?
God, it assaulted my eardrums.
Not getting it. The only thing that this game looks like it has going for it is the most expansive character creator ever made.
Apart from that, I'll stick with Diablo.

the first 2 parts of spore were fun but after that it all went pretty much down hill. I hope that doesn't happen to this game it's looking cool at the moment. Hopefully there is a good story in there as well. Only reason i finished diablo 2 was beacause of the story.
