Sorry but Mass Effect is the biggest beast of 2007.

[QUOTE="Fruity_Fantasy"]Snore I mean SPore looks like something interesting you would see on the Discovery channel but it don't look "fun" so I would think either Halo 3 or Mass Effect for GOTYVelocitas8

Ah..the typical A.D.D.-afflicted pre-teen point of view.

Thank you for your valuable insight. 

What are you the intellectual gamer? - lol

The fun comes from feeling like god, but I don't see GOTY either.

I am going to say that Super Smash Brothers Brawl or MGS4 have the best chance. Cause I remember SSBM getting fighting game of year.

I dont know....the Sims got GOTY....and Spore is being made by the same person...along with the head developer of Civ. 4 (which got a 9.4)

Uh no, I wouldn't call myself that. But Spore is one of the few unique games coming out this year, and probably one of the most innovative titles in the history of gaming. Your remarks are laughable. Especially knocking Spore, then listing Halo 3 as a contender :lol:

If Spore manages to pull off all of the different concepts in it well then I don't see how any game could really compare with it for GOTY. The scope and innovation in the game is amazing. Although there may be better games for their own niches, like fighting or stealth, the fact that spore will span across an evolutionary stage similar to E.V.O. then onto an RTS like stage while your society is building, and finally onto a larger scale with the interplanetary travel means that it has an advantage over other games. It doesn't necessarily need to do any one thing amazingly, it just has to do a couple different things pretty well.

I seriously doubt SSBB or MGS4 would get GOTY. MGS4 may not even be out this year since the PS3DO isn't exactly a piece of cake to work with.

Ah, so you actually do fit the A.D.D.-afflicted pre-teen profile perfrectly. Games have to hold your hand the whole way through for it to be "fun?"

Spore is much bigger than "build your own virtual life" ..it's more like "build your own virtual civilization."

I don't think you choose what peoples creatures to download. The game evaluates your ecosystem and fills in what it thinks you need. But ya it will be awesome to have a universe filled with other peoples planets to explore. Its like the ultimate in customizable user community .

Mass Effect looks good, but, don't forget about Crysis and MGS4. What about Halo 3? Huh? Huh? Huuuuuuuhhhh?MantiCore2K8

MGS4 is not coming out this year. You haven't even seen actual gameplay of it. (The supposed gameplay videos were just illustrations of gameplay ideas, not actual final gameplay.)

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that creatures would be evaluated by how much they were downloaded, Im not sure if that means automaticlly downloaded, or choosen by the player though....

Hmm, I think that's done on a per-user basis though. Content is automatically downloaded by the game as far as I know (not specifically chosen by the user,) and the game comes with a pre-made database of content, too.

The Spore (redirect?) servers categorize downloads of creatures, architecture and foliage by style (edit: possibly vehicles too.) You can choose to exclude certain content styles from future downloads. I believe that's the major way that content is distributed to each user, but they could use popularity and such too.

End of discussion. The game is going to be GOTY. I just saw the newest footage and graphics like that with KOTOR style gameplay. I say bye bye to my marriage and hello to Mass Effect on HDTV.

I think you can go and pick specific things at any time to add to your world, but I also think the world does its own analysis and fills in gaps when it sees them. Either way it will be awesome and its scope is amazingly impressive. Can't wait to see how it turns out, when is the release date slated for?

I don't know that new content is introduced to your world automatically. Like a new tree with a style you've never seen on the world before won't pop up out of nowhere (I think.) I believe there's just an initial content population, when you first enter a world, pulled from other users randomly (it is an alien world after all, wouldn't be very alien if you knew exactly what was on it)..and you have the freedom to change the world as you please if your civilization is advanced enough.

One thing that might not follow that rule though is the invasion of other creatures, bringing their own new architecture and such. It'll be interesting to see how that works out :)

Edit: Oh, and I just remembered..you CAN trade specific content with other players via a "trading card" style system. You've probably seen it in previews, but it completely slipped my mind. I'd like some more info on that as well, hopefully they'll roll out some more previews soon.

Too Human seems to be far more promising, but even there, Portal and Crisis are my picks on PC.

Even there, Metroid Prime 3, Umbrella Chronicle, Devil May Cry 4, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers, Fallout 3, The Witcher...

GOTY against that? Hell no...

Whats also impresive is how creatures you create will automaticly figure out how to animate themselves realisticly so that they will always look believable.

When I first saw a video of it and watched them manipulate the skeleton and then saw how all the different things animated themselves I was shocked. Hellgate: London needs to come out to tide me over until Spore comes out.

Bethesda started working on it in late 2004 I believe (Edit: It was just very initial stuff that early on, they apparently began real development on it after Oblivion was completed.)

That's right. The license was sold to Bethesda, unfortunately.

But I wouldn't expect it until mid to late next year.
