Millions and Millions of Planets

It’s IGN’s and GameSpy’s turn to show us some of the goods presented at E3. Both articles focus on what GameSpot previously reported about, the video showing the different stages of the game, called phases in Spore.

Wright says that the galaxy in the game will contain a half a million stars, with millions of individual planets. Lava worlds, water worlds, temperate worlds, and barren worlds are all possible — as are really exotic places, with colorful spiral mountains and weird land forms. The massive galaxy would take hours just to fly across. “There will be millions of worlds,” Wright says, zooming his spaceship out to the edge of the cosmos. “More than you can play in a lifetime.”

GameSpy also published the Spore demo presentation with better resolution and overall quality.
