Will at 2007 New Yorker Conference

Will Wright recently attended the 2007 New Yorker Conference which had the theme “2012: Stories from the Near Future”; the segment was recorded on tape! After a brief presentation of Will by John Seabrook the man himself start presenting Spore for the crowd. What you first notice is that graphics seems more polished. We’ll also get to see the very first moments when a comet crashes into a planet to spur life. Furthermore the tide pool, creature and space phases are shown and Will also talks about the concepts of terraforming planets and affecting their climates.

Will is at the end of the conference segment interview by John Seabrook on different topics, but mainly the theme of the happening. One question that was particularly interesting was the decision behind the cartoonish look of Spore and why it wasn’t made more realistic. It provided a very interesting answer!
