Sims 3 Update! New Video and "Create a Style"
On the front page of The Sims 3 website, there's a great new video of some (very attractive) men and women working on The Sims 3. Who knew Ben Bell was such a hottie? Anyway, the video explains features as well as character design and game play. It also shows a lot of crazy people pretending to be sims!
There's also a blog entry today by producer Jennifer Lane about the "Create a Style" feature that will be in The Sims 3.
Check it out!

Spore E3 Gameplay Video
From GameSpot, we get a great glimpse of Spore demoed at E3!
It's got previously unseen footage of Spore, and the gameplay is explained in more detail. Spore keeps track of the activities you've done, and you earn traits at different stages in the game in the form of super powers! Watch it just to see the little creature clothes in tribal stage.

Spore Tutorials on You Tube
The official channel for Spore on You Tube is brimming with new videos!
Learn how to build your creature.
Learn how to paint your creature.
Take your creature for a test drive!
There's also a new Inner Feelings From Outer Space, though my favorites are probably Pro-Floaty and Speed of Cake.
The Creature Creator will be out in less than 7 days! Remember that there will also be a free one available, but it will not have all of the content of the priced one. I'll try to get a link up to the free one as soon as it's available. Looks like you'll be able to download it at Spore.com on June 17, 2008. How exciting!

Will Wright Video - The Science Behind Spore
Will Wright covers the science in Spore in a new video on WeGame.com.
"That's really the story of Spore: What does a lifeless galaxy look like? Then you drop life in. What does that life do within the galaxy?"Lots of great new footage of gameplay in this video. Every time I see new videos of Spore, I see things that I never expected to see, like the pens of animals for the alien farmers (Of course, I guess they're not really aliens if they're on their own planet). I don't know why I expect the game to be less complex than it is. I guess I just don't want to be disappointed, so I expect less. Anyone else do that? Anyway, enjoy this recent video! Read More......

New Spore Creature Creator Video from IGN
Jason Ocampo, Editor-in-Chief of the IGN PC Team, walks us through his copy of the Spore Creature Creator, which will be available in only 23 more days (Amazon.com still has their $5 Pre-Order Bonus deal available). I don't think the Creature Creator could be any easier to use, and I am looking forward to it so much!
Go watch!

New Will Wright Interview by 3sat
Spores Illustrated alerts us to an English interview with Will Wright on a German site for a television station called 3sat. Unfortunately, its format is mp4, which some have trouble opening.
For anyone having problems opening mp4 videos, here is a solution. I used this guide at AfterDawn.com (scroll down to "The Easiest Method" and their software VLC for Windows (they also have links to the Mac and Linux versions at the end of that section). I'm not endorsing this software and it's use at your own risk--I'm not responsible! But it's what I used to open the mp4 and watch the video (plus it's free). If you still can't view the video and want to know what it's about, read on.
[Spoiler Alert! If you want to watch the vid yourself, don't read below!]
Back to the interview--it starts at about 1:50 into the video and runs to the end (14 minutes or so). Will talks about Nasa wanting games to get people interested in space sciences. He showed them Spore as a way to get people exposed to astronomy in a "toy galaxy." Nostalgic about SimCity and The Sims user communities, Will explains how he wants the communities to fit right into Spore--Spore uses all player generated content, and the ways to access it and blog or YouTube about it (is YouTube a verb yet?) fit perfectly into the game.
An open world within the game is the biggest change to games that he's seen since he's started working in the industry--games used to be "on rails" where you had to get x to do y and follow a preset track. Now players are given a lot more freedom. Most of the games created by the games industry aren't about contemporary reality, and Will feels they need to be to get widespread appeal. The Wii is his example--it reaches a new demographic because it makes games accessable to new gamers. If the user forgets about the controls, she will become immersed in the game--so, no awkward brainwave helmets for Will! He also pointed out that good games are malleable and can mold around the player--you can make the game become about yourself and your interests. When asked about the internet's utility for games, Will agreed that online is a great tool, but it's not the only thing that matters.

In closing, here is a link to probably my favorite cartoon (about Spore) in the whole world!
