IGN Hands On From GC
More news from the 2007 edition of the Leipzig Game Developers Conference. IGN brings us a 3-page hands on preview of Spore. They got to play the latest build of the game for one hour covering the three first phases of the game; cell, creature and tribe, and a small portion of the beginning of the civilization phase.
For each creature you attack, you have the chance to gain a new evolutionary part that you can use when upgrading a later generation. Since each new evolution leads you into more and more hostile territory, you’ll need to evolve to stay ahead of the action.
Once again, don’t miss our YouTube channel. It’s a handy way to keep track of the game’s development all in one place.


Didn’t anyone film anyone playing the game? I would love a really long gameplaymovie!
I’m a bit surprised at that too. Maybe one of the big gaming sites are saving something sweet and juicy for last. Or perhaps EA didn’t feel the game was ready for some live actions shots yet from someone outside the team.
I’m assuming recording equipment was not allowed into the demo… or I’m sure we’d have a slew of in-game shots at least!
