Will Wright is making the Greatest Game in Existance!

I jsut visited this section of the QC forums for the first time because I'd seen the trailer for this and couldn't bear to keep it to myself. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. It looks about a billion trillion times more awesome than any game in the history of ever.
Kirbo:
I agree, it does look swell. I'm not much of a PC gamer, and even less so for RTS's, but dayum. I may have to get this game. Even just for the great looking creature creation.
Rubby:
I started schooling myself in the world of computer programming with hopes of some day making a game that combined all the best Sim games with all the best elements of RTS games into one big huge super game. That was my dream from the days of playing Sim City 1 and HyperCard in the elementary school Mac lab way way back in the day. Not only did this guy steal my idea, he did it a million times better than I ever could have dreamed of doing it. The bastard!

That was actually its intended name- Spore was supposed to be the concept name during production- but they ended up liking the name Spore moreso.
And yea, I heard about this game long, long ago- it is an old video and thus old news- but the video just recently got released- so its something that anyone who didn't visit the Game Developers Conference in 2005 hasn't seen(So, approx 5,999,988,000 people)- and the Video sells the concepts in the game alot more than me describing it

I'm trying, but I really can't get excited about this. I know that everyone's creaming their freaking jeans over it, but it just looks really overhyped to me. Until I get a sense of some of the goals in the game other than "eat a few things, lay an egg and design a new creature in the editor, evolve sentience, war with other cities, go into space, fuck around with no real goal" I'm not really gonna be sold on its lasting appeal.
On that note, I'm getting really sick of all these "ultimate developers!" releasing some stupid concept game and everyone going gaga for it, then it turning out to be shit. Remember Fable? It was supposed to be awesome. Supposed to "usher in a new era in RPGs" or some shit. Then it came out and I never fucking heard of it again.
I don't like geting excited over games unless I can see something worth getting excited about, and Spore doesn't really fit that category, unfortunately. I mean, the idea and the underlying game mechanics seem good, but there's just not enough meat there to warrant "the greatest game evar!" to me.
