Not Peter Molyneux.

Will Wright and Sid Meier would be better making a game together.

Just combine Stardock and the old SSI game devs, and voila: the perfect game development team is ready to roll!  ;D

Why not all three? Molyneux is really better off in a lesser role though, he should not be a lead designer, he needs someone to keep his enthusiasm in check.

I wonder what kind of game would the two Chris Taylors make.. (one was the designer of Fallout, the other created Total Annihilation)

Why not just take all the funding and support ever given to any of them and give it all to Toady while not reducing his control of the project in any way?

Just leave David Braben out of the all-stars line-up, or it [the super cool game] will never get released. ;)

Eh, the same is true about Clive Blakemore.  ;D
Grimoire is development for lot of years now. It's a shame since the game looked like a decent oldschool Wizardry clone..

PS. Look at the website:  New website coming soon - july 2008. Oh the irony... :D
PS 2. Some good comments can be found here about the game:

Spore DRM De-Authorization Tool Released

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56443

As the controversial DRM behind EA Maxis' popular simulation allows the game to be installed on up to five different computer, this tool removes a machine from the list, freeing up an authorization slot for another install on a different computer.

Heh, may I say that EA was wtfpwned?  ;D

I got to the center of the galaxy within 2 weeks, the game is medicore and yes it is enjoyable for a time, a very short time. I realise everyone will see it differant but lets just put it this way, I noticed at the start of this thread some said "Its a shame they dumbed it down" , now Im not sure if that was a corrolation made with the old and new videos just before release when this thread started but I have to say "Yes" it was indeed dumbed down and badly and after Spore thats exactly when I realised the whole pigeon holing of gamers into hardcore and casual gamers is very detrimental because anything bad said about spore, its said "Ow well its not for hardcore gamers" and thats an excuse for the game seriously under-delivering and WW and his team (what at least in my view) overpromising what his team wasnt capable off.

Add insult to injury they imposed an absolutely crazy stupid terrible 3 install limit rental crap and well if you just look at the piracy stats fo spore gamers have hit back with Spore being billed by the news as one of the most pirated games ever. They then added an extra 2 installs and then in game it was found that there were remnants of a more complex game, i.e cell editor extras etc, like the game had been cut up so they could franchise it in a ridiculous manner like the sims. Next they bring out the parts pack which is waaay overly priced and tbh because spore is massive that kind of thing should have been comming free in patches. I waited on Spore fo 3 to 4 years and its been a HUGE dissapointement to me, all thiss justfied watering down in the name of the casual gamer, lets just get back to what is a quality game for all and what is not (A good game should be both accesible and deep)

its a grade A scam. i dont think the DRM is even for piracy. just to stop people from reselling it.

EA should step out of the game industry

Why do you think it's called "Spore".  Just when you thought you've killed it, the virus spreads to a new host.

I dunno, spore is more of a fungi type of thing.

 But yes, look underground the forum and you will see many little spore mushrooms in some crack.

I honestly forgot I even had the game installed on my computer. Haven't touched it since 3 days after buying it. Even now, I feel no urge whatsoever to interact with it in any fashion, it's just serving its role of keeping a few gigs of HDD space reserved for that special time when I find some sort of entertainment-related program I wish to install.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to not buy it. I could have bought so many groceries instead :(

You bought it? You're doing it wrong :(

Yeah, I haven't touched it for weeks now. I think I might have even deleted it some time or another. Even the few fun parts of spore get super old super fast.
