Spore 35min Demonstration from the GDCe (2005)

- (2005) The longest and most descriptive demonstration of Maxis's and Will Wright's new game Spore. Shows ALL stages from Cellular to Space. A bit better quality than other videos on TH-cam, so enjoy!
Full Hour-Long Speech Version Here: video.google.co...
For the latest Spore videos from this year, check out my other videos!
7/23/08 For those of you who keep asking how I put a video over 10min on youtube, go into your control panel and find the option to make yourself a directors account (which is free), and as long as the video is under 100mb (hence the video quality loss), there is no time limit. Edit: Apparently you had to have done this before the 2006 youtube update in order for it to work, sorry!
8/25/20 (13 years since upload!) I've gotten a request to see the full hour-long speech version originally hosted on Google Video (remember those days?) above, if you'd like to check that video out you can do so here: • Will Wright and Spore
It still hurts.
Lmao.
+PiratesoftheNorth78 I'm crying... ;-;
PiratesoftheNorth78 it will never stop hurting
PiratesoftheNorth78 😥💔
I cry everytime i watch it
i watched this video about 100 times back before Spore was changed.
Still one of the biggest crimes EA has committed.
I saw the video just now, played Spore for houndreds of hours since i was a child. LOL
Biggest crime was shuting down Darkspore servers
The biggest crime is what they did to the Sims franchise
whats worse is they have not fix the crashing on the space stage
Honestly almost everything that they have done is a war crime
The first minute of the creature stage alone shows such a disparity. The animals seem to freely wander instead of just being limited to their nests, and he seems to imply there's a min-max system going on- the big guy is too strong to fight, but he can run away.
Waiting for Stellaris right now. It's kind of reminiscent of Spore's space stage, which was, in my opinion, the best stage even if it was very lacking.
3 years late, but stellaris is basically what Spore's space stage should have been. It's obviously on a slightly smaller scale than Spore's space stage, but it's way more fleshed out and generally a much more enjoyable game. Honestly, Spore would have been alright if the civilisation stage was the depth of civilisation 5, and the space stage was the depth of stellaris, and they added all the other stages.
@@huaen8880 and now were getting democracy reee!
@@huaen8880 i think making those 2 stages better would have made spore a pretty good game honestly. i enjoy the cell stage and the creature stage is pretty fun imo, but civ stage and space stage are only fun for like 10 mins before you realise that you've either done everything the game lets you, or the gameplay is a boring chore.
the space stage is good until it starts crashing the game
@@tailsprowerfan2729 I've been playing Spore for years and it never crashed for me, maybe ur pc can't support space stage or something
Once or twice every year, I like to go back and watch this video just to remind me what Spore could have been. Thrive team, don't let us down, please.
Sorry if this is annoying, but what is the Thrive team? I am a huge fan of Spore and I would like to see a more scientific approach in an upcoming game.
Almira Strife Not annoying. Not many people know the Thrive project.
+Almira Strife it's a small team trying to make a good spore
I like to dream too, but at this rate Thrive won't be coming out until a bit after Half Life 3
Yeah, probably. Lol.
HOLY SHIT! This looks SOOOO MUCH more advanced and realistic then the current spore... Its like a Spore 2 in my eyes...
No, it's Spore 5-8 i think... It's evolution goes so far away from that Spore, so it can take 50 years to make the game better.... And EA just throw it.....
@@alexfrozen8987 it's really sad
I have exacly same thoughts
say thx to capitalism esp for EA games finanicial managment, they are think only about profit, not for quality of game. Greate creators needs works for dat capitalists, I am sure workers (creators, game disiners, etc.) can rule company without parasits-capitalists. So I hope workers open eyse on this. Because for profit lot of humans die, for profit destroy ecology, thats all did for profits, so we need stop this now.
the fact that this comment is from 6 years ago and there's not spore 2 yet hits hard
Beta Spore: 9 stages = Molecular, Cell, Aquatic, Creature, Tribal, City, Civilization, Terraforming and Space
Final Spore: 5 stages = Cell, Creature, Tribal, Civilization and Space
PLS SPORE BETA MOD!
Spore Remake Petition www.change.org/p/ea-games-maxis-spore-remake-or-beta-content-dlc?just_created=true
Clay-Man Studios © Where has that petition been all my life?
Clay-Man Studios © Unfortunately MAXIS has shut down. Because of that stupid EA no more Spore nor Sims games will be made. Also lots of people lost their job. But! There's still hope. Wouldn't it be awesome if Will Wright himself made his own company? With the help of kickstarter a new Spore could be make with his primary vision in mind. Many video game companies have done this with games like Mighty No.9, Yooka Laylee and the new Castlevania game.
Mike Pap I think I'll change the petition for Will Wright now. I may need a little help though. ;)
Clay-Man Studios © Well friend, I wish you the best of luck. Unfortunately I can't help you at the momment if that's what you meant but I'm sure that you'll find help.
"Umm..." Will Wright - 2005
"Procedurally generated"
I remember way back in the day someone doing a whole compilation of him just saying "uuhm" but I don't remember what it was called. Anybody remember the video I'm talking about?
this is his review of the spore we got
"Get off my head"
Who thinks the new spore is just a kids game only available on a computer and the kid might not know how to use a computer
Oh Dear Lord... this makes me depressed beyond belief...
linkmacloud this is the game that killed hype and pre-ordering all future games for me. This talk is what sold spore to me.. and yea.. you saw how that went.
Dang, as much as I like spore, this version looks so much cooler in a lot of ways.
Like, this looks almost like a completely different game.
it is.
yeah i wish we would’ve gotten this instead
Oh def
that sad moment when you realize watching this video is better than actually playing the game
personally I like the game

@@diegodankquixote-wry3242 he left AAA shortly after Spore.
Honestly, I love Spore, but I wish they had gone in this direction, instead of the cartoony version they gave us.
@Snackers this was the beta version. EA changed it
@Snackers was never released
Spore's current art style is one of the main reasons it has survived. If they had went with a more realistic approach the art style would be extremely dated by now.
Well I actually really like the cartoony style.
I would’ve loved to play this different version, but Spore now has got me hooked and it would be awesome if it got a remaster with bug fixes and updates.
Most people are upset about the aquatic stage, but the thing I miss the most is how much more realistic the space game is. When we on earth invent space travel as advanced as in spore and we reach another alien planet (or when aliens visit us) there wont just be text on a screen saying 'we come in peace' and everyone be happy. This version on the other hand has language development, and much more complex relationships than '-5 for not protecting allied ships.' Also, terraforming a planet to livable conditions does not come from waving my heat wand for 10 seconds. Just putting it out there.
I miss the good creature stage,Holy Hell current creature stage is Boring and poorly made
Creatures that actually roam around wouldve been só great,but nope havé literallt everyone around nests
And Giants what not
well technically you do see creatures actually roaming around as you progress through the creature stage
Strix some creatures do roam around, but it’s only migrating creatures or epics and rouges
Wish the game as anything like this. RIP spore concept.
With GA, you can morph the world more than ever before!
sickleandsuckle yeah but the original concept was AMAZEING it was more of a sim not some kid sim a real sim i mean i can under stand the mating part a bit but did they have to make it a dance? a f***ing dance?! like really the spore was soo promesing i really hope thrive can fix what Maxis Failed todo
ZentraGraphics Don't get your hopes up on Thrive. They recently said in a podcast that they aren't even going to try and kickstart it. They are just some few random people on the internet developing the game with families they have to support, so they don't even have much time for the game. I had high hopes for it only to have them crushed after that podcast.
Unsolved Paradox Thrive woun't kickstart it because it's open development meaning they would have to shell out money to pretty much the entire fanbase. Let alone the money would dry up WAY before the game would be finished. I was a member there I deleted my account because I was fed up with the community there and the slow progress, and I am really debating about making my own spore game because I have the skills to make what they did in about a week. But I still don't want to give the people of spore a false sense because they have suffered a lot.
I think we can agree that we won't see another game like Spore unless another Triple A company decides to develop one. Which probably won't happen as investors aren't willing to shell out money for spore again.
OK, and then EA fucked the game up, and Will Wright got pissed and left? Cudos to Will Wright for that.
Actually... Yes.
Spore would have been known as an awesome game if this demonstration was never shown to public.
It was hype that killed Spore. (Well..actually is still pretty darn alive with new creations being uploaded everyday and got a lot of sales from it's Steam sales and Origin discounts)
Rex Prime I think it's a pretty crappy game. They didn't spend enough time on each part of the game. The first stage is fun, and then it stops being fun, imo.
I thought creature stage was awesome too! Tribal stage was okay, I liked the food collection parts. Civ was one of my favorites, because it plays like a mini-Civilization game. SPACE WAS THE BEST MOTHERFKING THING EVER! Space was ahead of it's time.
All the memories..my wars...my Grox allies..
Rex Prime Yeah, ok, personally, I hated it. :P But it's great if you liked it.
I am an absolute enthusiast of Spore, yet it still disappoints me that this version of Spore was never released to the public. I adored the beta version of Creature Stage, and the City Stage looks really interesting. I also admire the original graphics for Space Stage, especially how the universe looks. They look so much more real and pretty than that of the final SPORE. Does this mean Spore is a bad game now? Well, not really. It's just disappointing to those who were expecting what the demonstration showed and that the final version was too cutesy. The game does a well job on being addictive, bringing creativity to the player on how to create their species. Some stages still needed work though, especially Tribal and Civilization.
I feel sorry for Will Wright that it didn't go the direction he wanted, and I hope he has some way to bring the original Spore.
Wow... you hit the nail on the coffin for my view... the released version isnt bad at all, its great... its just i would REALLY like to see where the science team would have gone with spore.
Almighty Dreamer it's a shame we didn't get this. If only there was a spiritual successor to spore that had all this and more with maybe even a single player.
dont worry... Thrive is da next spore 2
Another intelligent person in this hell of a comment section. People like you bring back my faith in the Spore fandom.
+Gigz Lopez Thrive's cell stage will be completed once Half Life 3 comes out
Everything...so procedural...so adaptive...so..._realistic_

And then EA
@@kindofhuman8147 worse than a fucking thermonuclear warhead
Wow this presentation is so much more natural than what we have today hahah
Chilly Mittens
What you just saw, is a totally DIFFERENT GAME! There was a fight between the devs. Ofcourse the casuals won. Thats where the huge amounts of money comes from anyway.
Well yeah its a presentation, its all scripted
guess that's because its GDC, not E3, this one is actually more about showcasing games to fellow game devs rather than stockholders and potential customers.
Honestly, I liked the final version of Spore, but I won't deny that THIS would've been SO MUCH BETTER. But even more heartbreaking is what happened afterwards - after a few disappointing spinoffs, EA dropped the Spore franchise like a hot potato. It could've done so much more, maybe even become something closer to this.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
How in the living fuck do you go from this original concept, to what Spore ended up as? I still do find some enjoyment in Spore as it is, but watching this.. It's just depressing to see how much they butchered the idea. I can only hope someone else picks up the concept and does it real justice.
i dont get it, it soesent seem to have changed at all?
Dead horse™ Animation Studios
First of all:
Completely different cell stage which is more complex.
An entirely new aquatic stage.
Blood.
Grabbable dead bodies.
Better battle animations that are based on where you put your weapons (you can see this a bit in spore but its more complex here)
Differant creature creator gui.
Different brain development
Tribal i cant say because not much of it is shown.
@@deathbyseatoast8854 That is not a lot different from the final game.
The only big difference is the cell stage, which is dumbed down, and the aquatic stage.
Aside from that, most of the core gameplay is the same.
Who cares about the removal of grabbing dead bodies, there is no real use for it anyway.
Battle animations might have been simplified for performance reasons or it was too buggy.
@@florisr9
fair enough.
all i was doing was listing the differences i could spot.
but the core gameplay is indeed very similar.
Thrive
EA ruined this game. I wish Maxis didn't sell out to them. The 2005 version of Spore would have been amazing.
UI/UX in beta is trash but gameplay is better by a mile even though it's not perfect and very raw
I personally still love spore but this original concept is just amazing looking
Honestly, I assume that the developer didn’t expect the project to be taken away from him so close to release. He had previous history with EA, yeah? That might have established an already existing trust in them to promote his game. He might have trusted them enough to accept the deal with them. That, or it was an offer he couldn’t refuse. After all, making a game this ambitious in the early 2000s wasn’t cheap. But that’s just me thinking too much into it
poor lad.
Will had so much hope for the game, put in so much work and time and effort into it, he had a great vision, he was so close!
then EA shows up, demands that they dumb it down to make it "appeal to a wider audience" so that EA gets more money.
then they gave very little time to finish the game! you cannot, simply CANNOT create a game with the scale and scope that spore was supposed to have in a couple years!
along with the teams that worked on the separate stages being very disconnected and contained, what came out of maxis was a half-baked, disjointed shadow of what spore could have and should have been.
sorry, but i can't help but rant about this subject , i am very passionate about this game, despite being YOUNGER than it, and it is just so upsetting that a game like spore with so much potential was spoilt by the awful conditions it had to put up with.
and it can never redeem itself... that is probably the saddest part about it.
will wright quit development long ago, EA has dissolved maxis, there have been no further updates for who knows HOW LONG, the servers will go down eventually, and there is only so much you can do with the hollow husk that is what is left of spore...
F to pay respects, and i mean that in the most sincere way possible....
@@_Dinops I still like the spore we know. But I agree this one would be even more realistic
This video was all proceduarly generated.

Procedurally generated. Procedurally.
+LoverDino it's a reference to will wright mentioning it all the time

This comment is procedurally generated
1995-2010 was a golden age of video games and innovation that may never be topped. So many creative developers that wanted to make a genuine fun experience for people to enjoy. Developers like Will Wright are far and few these days.
Will Wright says 'Umm...' exactly 201 times in this video
Yes, I counted them all... :(
Someone give this man/woman an award
And a lot of "y'know"
35 minutes is 2100 seconds. Add 52 more and you get 2152.
201/2152 give you ~0.093 "umhs" per second or 5,6 umhs /min
I never actually saw this until this year. Played Spore when I was a kid and never knew the potential of what it could have been. How the mighty have fallen.
What the hell happend!?
Where the hell did this game go!?
EA said "nah this game is too good lets throw it down the shitter and make it super simple"
So unfortunately true :(
0.2- Big Bang cinematic: Removed because some people of the developing team saw it as "blasphemy"
0.5- Atomic Stage: (Little interactive surrealistic cutscene with a pitch black background and electrons dancing around a nucleus. Opens path to Biomolecular Stage) Removed because "blasphemy"
0.9- Volcano Cinematic: (lava rock flying into the primordial soup) removed to open path to Panspermias ("blasphemy")
1- Biomolecular Stage: (A little tetris minigame) Removed because of the Panspermias beigining (also "blasphemy")
2- DNA Stage: (pretty much the same as 1, but on a massive scale, about an hour of gameplay) Removed because it was too long, also "blasphemy"
3- Cell Stage: Changed to cartonish style because some people of the team tought some cells looked like sperm
4- Bacterial Stage: (a most competitive version of 3) 3 and 4 were merged into one to decrease difficulty
5- Colony Stage: (optional stage to get some bonuses. Jumps into 6) Removed because the game would be too long
5- Sea Creature stage: (start as an invertebrate organism, about 30 hours of gameplay to get to the land or stay in the water and develop civilization from there) Completed, removed two weeks before official release because "control difficulties" (goodbye underwater cities/vehicles)
6- Creature Stage: (less cartoonish, more important version of the one we got) Changed to get propper ESRB rating, and sell more copies.
6.5- Optional Flight Stage: Merged with 6 (good bye flying cities)
7- Tribal Stage: (pretty much what we got, but with a little more RTS elements) Changed to reduce difficulty
8- City-State Stage: (ever wondered why suddenly from the trival stage to the civ stage there was only 1 dominant species? This was going to explain that) Removed to decrease length
9- Civilization Stage: Same with 7
10- Space Stage: what we got, you could terraform planets to flood them with water if you'd chosen underwater civilization path
11- Superior Being Stage: (After you reach the center of the galaxy you weren't supposed to be greeted by that shitty looking ship, you were greeted by God itself, who transformed you into an omnipotent species. Multiplayer mode was also unlocked) Removed because "blasphemy" and network issues (you know, Origin servers)
There is were Sim Everything (original name for Spore) went
Ryosuke The Lord Of Anemones So basically the game is shit because people thought it was blasphemous?
Fucking hell, people are retarded.
I still love Spore, though ^^
I cannot wait until the day EA goes completely bankrupt.
Then a company will buy them use their hardware and stuff for good
One day.. :'(
Personally I like EA's Spore. I like both the original concept by Maxis and EA's Spore. I don't want EA to go bankrupt, tbh.
if ea went bankrupt you whould get better and more fleshed out games that arent rushed JUST to get money
EA IS A SHIT COMPANY
i will ensure i do it myself
Spore, even as it is, is one of my favorite games, and this is the first time I'm watching this video. I feel betrayed and swindled by EA for what this game could have been. If they just let Will and his team do the game like they wanted to, they could have had a franchise on their hands that would have topped charts around the world years after it's release
Oh dear God! This is fantastic! Why did they give us such a horrible version!?
+Comrade Ogilvy EA changed it and gave us a downgraded version
Dragonmatic That seems to be EA's style. To rip their costumers off.
Comrade Ogilvy Yea they really like to punish the people that pre order games! Like a Beta of a game is pretty inpresive people pre order it then EA instantly downgrades it
+Comrade Ogilvy Blaming EA? Wrong. Blame Maxis.
Maybe they wanted to keep their game E10, but it seems they might have rated it while it's in it's alpha state so they could have keep the graphics and style.
I CRY EVERY TIME
SAME
The fact that you could create a carnivorous carebear in spore tells you how much better it was than modern spore
i'm pretty sure you can create that in the final too though
This was a huge game in my childhood and it was amazing even to this day I cannot remember a portion that was bad, but now learning what this cold have been is just ...
Someone needs to break into EA, steal this and release it
... or mods should be made possible.
Because that's totally not impossible...
Actually, it would be a hit in the gaming industry.
FUCK EA!
Heh. Most probably it's just a bugged demo with many and many restrictions and it even can be unplayable. Maybe it's kinda scripted demo, because Cell and Aquatic stage looks like very limited and unfinished.
Still, I would want to play this demo too.
This is..umm...a really interesting video to..umm...watch 11 years later. Umm...

Farewell, Maxis.
It actually makes me genuinely angry watching this now, because I remember watching this as a little 9 year old and literally freaking out over how sophisticated and realistic it looked. I remember catching a glimpse of an article in a newspaper my dad was reading about this game. I remember thinking it was like the next big thing, and I was so excited about it. Like, SO excited.
And then they released the game.
And I thought to myself "what the actual fuck is this?", because EA took what was a fantastic game, with so many outstanding features, and then just thought "you know what? Let's turn this incredible project into a game so simple it genuinely insults the intelligence of our customers". Even the little features like how the anatomy of your creature effects their speed, or the procedurally generated things like dancing to name a few, were deleted for no apparent reason in my mind. I mean, I watch this video and just think to myself that this build is a more interesting and advanced game than Spore was in it's final release stage. But watching this makes me think about everything Spore could've been, before EA took it's giant consumerist fist and repeatedly rammed it up Spore's ass until all the ingenuity and sophistication fell out, resulting in the violently abused children's plush toy that was the released version of Spore. It could've been a really interesting and engrossing simulation (well, sort of) of evolution, and instead it became the game we all know and hate. At least by releasing Galactic Adventures they finally conceded that Spore is NOT a sophisticated game in any way. If only they had admitted that before I wasted my money on it back in 2008 or whenever it was.
Anyways, anyone who still hopes for retribution for the empty promise that was Spore, Thrive looks really interesting, and looks like it will be everything we all hoped Spore would be back in 2005, and more.
Jack of Diamonds Lol Thrive has been in the works for a few years and gameplay of cells so far is the only thing shown. Thrive will either take a decade to make like spore and possibly be like spore or they need to dumb it down quite a bit more especially for an indie company and it will also ends up like spore. I do not have any hopes for it until it shows some promising gameplay.
The thing is, what was shown here is basically just a prototype of what the planned game what meant to look like, in other words, a lot more incomplete than you seem to think. I will admit that the creature stage looked quite a bit better, especially the combat (actually chasing down and ripping apart your prey, rather that two creatures taking turns biting each other) but besides the fact that the gdc version was more realistic, I don't really think that the final game seems that different from the demo. Just my opinion though.
Yes, this game had a massive flaw with it's perception of 'evolution' which just didn't work. There is no evolution, it's all just design your creature to be better using the offspring. No environmental pressures to respond to, if you wanted to completely change your creature from one 'generation' to the next you could which made no sense scientifically.
That flaw still existed in this prototype.
I agree that there isn't much difference between this and the actual game. The creature stage looks better here, but then again it still seems like the cell stage but on land.
This video still highlights the lack of detail and scope of all of the pre-space stages.
How was this video's perception of evolution any different to the real game?
@@UneCleUSB The main thing is it actually mattering what you make. It's clearly imperfect if your goal is to model evolution since evolution is simply the response to environmental conditions, but being able to see just how fundamentally different builds affect your abilities and survivability is key to making a game like this work, and the release version dumbed that down to such an extent they might as well have removed it entirely. most parts are completely interchangable, and nothing about the structure of your lifeform affects it's survivability. It's just "make what you like it doesn't matter. lol" which is completely and utterly at odds with what was clearly the intended primary source of difficulty and sandbox experimentation, which was making lifeforms and machines that actually work well enough for you to survive.
There are other things too, like there actually being pressures in creature stage to force you to make a working lifeform since life wasn't just relegated to nests you had to actively go to to progress. Or the existance of viruses and certain lifeforms being impervious to damage without the right parts in cell stage...
So in short, a combination of having reasons to make a functional lifeform, and having how you make the lifeform affect it's functionality.
And in this alternate universe where Will's dream game wasn't destroyed, it would have had perfect olenings for expansion later down the line. I could see a sequel or expansion pack adding temperature as a variable to deal with that would affect how all the pre-space stages are played. Or the additional variable of atmospheric composition which would make the planet you choose to start on meaningful, since your lifeform's size, available parts, and possibly even metabolism would have to be informed by these things. Or a stealth system where your lifeform's coloration could make enemies agro more if you stand out from the environment color wise, and agro less if you are sufficiently camoflaged.. I could see the addition of more parts opening more challenges and possibilities as both you and the things that want to eat you gain more options...
This never would have been a realistic model of evolution, but it would have been a model of how important adaptation is, and that would make for a reaaally fun game.
This was the first form of those fake ads of those games that show gameplay and when you download it it’s not the same game
While I'm severely late to this and I guess nobody even comments on this video anymore...
I'm here to say that 80% of this demo is fake, made by effects system used in Maxis' previous simulation games.
Yes... it was made as an effect concept demo, of what the vision for the game was initially. So the game that you see here never existed, and was in the making. But during the making, realizing there's not much time left, EA, and probably Will too (being forced by EA's deadlines), decided to undercut it. What's left of the original vision is still a good game tho. Unmatched even today.
Man that's pretty sneaky, but I'm not too surprised.

Honestly, while this looks cooler, I still freaking love the 2008 Spore. That game brought my childhood so many good times and memories, which is why seeing all the hate towards it kind of slaps my inner child in the face a bit. Still love that game though, but a remake that's based off this would be neat.
look up thrive you wont be dissapointed :) sadly they dont have any gameplay as its in heavy Dev but just listen to the concepts
ZentraGraphics
actually several releases have come out so far
MrNixcake i have not seen any :/
They are broadcasted on every one of Thrive's outlets (Reddit, Forums, ModDB,) It's pretty hard to not find them.
ZentraGraphics "It's in heavy development." Yea not really. It's a community project that has a bunch of people who aren't skilled in game development. Just a bunch of people who do that stuff in their spare time.
its so sad he cut off the 3D free roam underwater part, wish it was in the full game.
This version of Spore + the promised verison of No Mans Sky + interactivity with other players + Space Engineers = An actual great freaking MMO
This reminds me of how much I lust for a multiplayer version of Spore. I could imagine it now, evolving together, killing lesser-evolved players to be a jerk, competing for survival-
would definitely play MMO Spore
Imagine what the "Alienologist" of that game would do.
2020 still hurts to watch!
Aww heck, I actually liked Spore (At least the first half) but watching this makes me really wish I could play this instead.
Someday I should go through and count how many times Will Wright says "um".
You should do the same with whenever he says "procedurally generated"
DecapitatedLoon you know whats interesting? the universe is procedurally generated, based on natural selection and physics.
It's the Will Wright drinking game!
Can some one please remake spore like this again
+Schnake Eyes EA happened to it. Nuff said.

Search up Thrive, it's early in development and open source but they're making really good progress (microbe stage almost finished). It should be done within 2020-2030, so if you're a true fan of what spore could of been then you should be able to wait.
thrive is shit and its nothing like spore
Connor Welgemoed it's not trying to be though, it's trying to be a 'true' evolution simulator and what exactly is so "shit" about it?
The fact that the beta version had ragdoll physics and you could drag bodies made me hate Final Spore.
it's 2020 and i'm still waiting for this game
STOP WAITING!!!! waiting does absolutely nothing to contribute to making a game.
So THIS is what the spore trailer was based off of
I'm just sitting here, looking at this... Crying, of how the game used to look like before compared to the released version we have now.
JUST WHYYYYYY????
Yeah its almost 20 years later and im still waiting for this game we were promised..
Playing through Spore and then watching this afterwards is like winning $50,000 on Deal or No Deal, then later finding out you almost won a million. Sometimes, you're just better off not knowing.
Very true. I am glad i played the game without seeing this first.
Every now and again i come back to this video. I remember seeing it before Spore's release. But 2008 child me didnt know the difference back then. I waited so long through the delays and setbacks, I was just glad to have the game in my hands.
Looking back i know now how basic the final release was, how little content there was. How could a game with possibly the largest scope designed back then, turn into what is effectively Claymation Sims 2.0.
Its sad.
As you can see, um, this, um, comment, it's, uh, procedurally generated.
Maxis:We Have This Masterpiece
EA:Awesome Now Remove the aquatic,city and terraformer stage and make it more cartoony because We wanna everyone money and put DRM over it or you fired
exactly
I wish the gaming community would just boycott EA off the face of the video game industry, so we wouldn't have to wait a decade for someone to fix the game that should of been great from the beginning. Inb4 EA buys out Thrive.
When time machines get invented i swear on my soul i will go back and change this fate.

With the new technology we have now, think of how much better this game could become.
I can't believe how much more drawn out and developed this version was. One can only dream if this game was remade in 2023 the depth and quality the game would possess.
Even today, I am still mad about this.
The spore that we got was good, but this could have been one of the greatest games
This still hurts in 2019.
Eberhardt9 still hurts in 2020.
does EA, Maxis or Will have ANY idea how much money i would have thrown at them to get *this* copy of the game and not the piece of crap i got instead? *sigh*
it just goes to show "we asked for a chemistry kit and got a coloring book"
Well Will probably doesnt because EA took over the entre project
broken dreams
"All the creatures here... procedurally generated. The plants and the entire world... procedurally generated. In fact, if you look closely at other people in the audience, you'll notice that 50% of them are procedurally generated"
spore needs a re-make, one that somehow combines the beta and original like bringing back the aquatic stage and the ability to drag prey, even simple things such as the walking and blood.
while i enjoy the current spore there are so many ways in which it could be improved
one thing that really pisses me off is the idea that you have to dumb something down for kids, like their too stupid to grasp complex ideas, that's just pure bullshit kids are smarter than that
how many of the fans of the original Sim games were kids younger than 13, kids that played sim city, sim city 2000, sim life, sim earth; I WAS ONE OF THEM. Hell, my friend managed to make a super creature in sim life that he couldn't kil
land I guarantee you that the game would have been loads easier to understand than sim lifer or sim earth just by having the better graphics engine and streamlined UI, it didn't need to be dumbed down
kids can learn complexity, IT'S WHAT THEY DO.
@Q UE
Hahahhahahha
Somewhere out there is this exact build of the game on a dusty old computer
this is why we should have stormed EA, not area 51...
imagine a hacking group extracts the demo and leaks it to the public
also dynamite by bts sounds like the *fucking pacman theme*
and then people hyped up No Man's Sky...
SPORE, better than No Man's Sky somehow.
I was more disappointed with Spore though.
Probably because of the spore experience I wasn't so burnt with NMS
I wish they released the Darkspore and Spore source code so the fans could revive them, but nope, EA and Maxis would see it as copy-right to make a fan game ._.
Well you can download it at titanspore he has remade it very good
link pls?
Damn... I love Spore, but holy shit could it have been that much cooler.
Man, this is my first time watching this video. I knew aquatic stage was removed, but I never knew just how severely EA gutted this game.
Some wounds never heal
I was so hyped when I saw this live during E3. Would love to be able to play THIS version of the game, or ideally and even more expansive version now. This is so much more impressive than No Man´s Sky.
People who wanted this spore! Dont fear! Theres a game called Thrive, its not completed but it will repair spore!
I really look forward for that game
Sorry for my bad english 😁
Indeed there is. Thrive will not be a "repair to spore", however. Though it has similar concepts to Spore, it's vastly different, and even better than this Spore.
Scott nov we cant say that yet till its relesed and somehow i actually liked the space stage i mean i just liked controling the ship and burning civs i know we can do that but i really hope they allow us to take control of like a capital ship or somthing cause i heard space stage in thrive is RTS like and if we cant to what i just said ill be ok aslong as we can see the battle if not i will be depressed

Can't say what? That it'll be better? While I suppose it's up to personal opinion, you should take a look at the wiki and it's concepts (though, they'll probably change sometimes). They far surpass this, at least from my point of view. As for the Space Stage, I agree somewhat. I did like controlling a single ship in Spore, but I also like that Thrive is taking a completely different approach. I've heard, though, that you will always be able to play as a single ship in organism mode (aparently, ships are organisms), so there's that, at least. And don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to watch the battle.
Don't be getting your hopes up guys. The Developers for Thrive are just a bit of people on the internet and they're not even going to try and kick start it. As they said in one of their podcasts. Sad that Thrive will never be. It'll be just some lame 2d game, not an awesome 3d like spore.
This was awesome... Why couldn't EA make something like this... All i want is blood, ragdolls, realistic fighting (Like that thing that tried to escape from the predator, not just "Oh he punched me! LETS FIGHT!"-type thing...), that creatures don't live in a nest and they're dispersed in the world, that wasn't like 3000 species but like 6 of each, and finnaly... THAT I COULD GRAB A CORPSE AND MOVE IT AROUND D:
Not to mention all the editors they removed for no reason. Underwater creatures, tribal building editors, flora editors... And they made it so we can only have one type of each building and vehicle for each civ.... So sad...
Alex Kennedy They removed underwater creatures because they had problems with navigation and animation but I have no clue why they removed everything else and changed the graphics. Oh wait, yes I do. EA wants to get a shit ton of cash.
Stinger4561 Yeah. It backfired spectacularly though. If they made a decent game, maybe they could have released more than one expansion pack...
@@Crypted112 i know this is ancient, but in 2022 it could definitely work
holy shit i didnt even know they actually made the fighting mechanics worse
EA: Oh this isn't very kid friendly
Kids if Spore remained the same: Woah, cool it has blood.
How is this simple demo SO much better than the final game? It seems way less complicated and still better!
I wish to be reborn into a timeline where this version of Spore was made ;_;
all aboard the disappointment and depression train
Wrong! The disappointment and depression Ford Explorer!
Wooooaoaoah!
@@Bacony_Cakes more like a pinto because this bitch went up in flames
@@DifficultyTweak ah just like the EA headquarters will
It's a false hope, but I do really want a 2005 version of Spore to be released. It was so ahead of it's time, but then EA bought out Maxis and changed the core of this game. All I can do is play with what they've given us, what they've left us with after butchering this once groundbreaking technological advancement into yet another cartoonish child's play thing. Everyone hates EA, yet Spore has one of the best reasons as to why. I hope whoever at EA that decided this wasn't what was good for their greedy pockets gets a less-than-appealing fate.
Funny how the intro for Spore has Maxis swallowed by a galaxy which later turns into EA.
You remember it wrong. Ea explodes and turns into spore
You know what would be good? Spore 2: The One The First One Should Have Been
To everyone losing their shit over this video:
*This was NEVER an actual game*. This is a VERY heavily scripted demo, practically a movie. The purpose of this "demo" is to show the target gameplay of the final product so that the developers would have a better understanding on what they're working with.
This has been confirmed by a developer who worked on Spore. You can stop losing sleep over this now.
Deroni76 hi, EA damage control.
Deroni76 that could just be some lie cause people got pissed over the game,just because they say it does not make it true.
Larenz Garrett That statement was made in reddit, many years after Spore's abandonment, not on some huge-ass press conference or anything. The guy loses literally nothing by saying that.
Larenz Garrett Is. There were people who had hands on with the pre-EA fuckery version.
Hell, the name was gonna be Sim-Cosmos, but due to it "offending" someone on the team with overly sensitive religious issues, they canned the name and forced it to become spore.
***** Where did you get that info?
Will Wright's beautiful vision was crushed by EA.
I remember watching this clip very soon after it came out . I was very young then, but I was still so excited. I always loved walking with dinosaurs, it seemed to me like I’d have been able to create my own experience like that.
And guess what, when the game was released I stilled enjoyed it , despite being disappointed.
In those days there was a strong hope that there would be updates or a true ‘gritty’ closer to this demo version of the game would be released. Concept art. Concept trailers . Dev announcements.
But then the spinoffs came, and the updates and support for the main game stopped . I lost all hope then , I knew this would be locked away forever like Sid Meyers Alpha Centauri but worse, because there wasn’t even an option to pay for this kind of content (at the time I felt as though it was ransomed ).
In 2020 I am still bitter . I have hope for thrive but I am worried that they won’t be able to achieve their goals without backing from a larger studio, I hope someone picks it up, I hope one day we can have the game we thought we would all those years ago.
You know , Hello games has become notable for fixing a busted game (admittedly it was their busted game). Maybe they should give it a shot. I can’t even say how much I’d be willing to shell out for this experience realized , but it’s a lot .
This was literally all set to be the best game ever...I can't believe it turned out the way it did.
spore but if EA didint intevien :(
I still like the spore we got, but after watching this video I’m disappointed, the game could’ve been so much more! I hope teams like the one working on thrive can create a kind of spore 2 that’s like the one we see here
It's May 17th 2021, and seeing what Spore could've become and what actually the end product was... STILL HURTS. "You were the chosen one" meme, lvl over 9000...
Прошло 14 лет, а это до сих пор лучшая в своём роде игра.
It's been 14 years, but this game is still the best of its kind.
Новые игры не такие ламповые , как спор, Майнкрафт(старые версии) , растения против зомби и т.д.
@@user-ek2sd1ms3r Я не могу поверить сколько контента и возможностей обрезала EA, реальное преступление с их стороны
@@user-ek2sd1ms3r Tube games?
Removing the aquatic stage and butchering the details of the creature stage were huge to me, both of those things seemed amazing at the time and like a modern E.V.O from SNES.
Sadly what we got was so much more watered down.
Dude this game was way better in the early development. It was more realistic with blood and actual mating and had more stages.
And you could drag body's
well the mating part WOULD probably have to be omitted either way, i don't CARE i f it ends up as a kids game or not, that scene was just uncomfortable.
@@yourladbrennen3130 in final game, there're some dances that look "sus" while mating
@@triopical6884 yeah, but waaaay less sus than what could have been
2008... When people actually were aware of Spore's existence. 2006... When Spore was actually cool.
Spore is still lit in my eyes though ;(
This should have been the actual game. The developers who wanted a more "childlike" and "fantasy" game were complete morons. This could have sold more than Sims 2, the most selling PC game of all time. One of my favorite things about Spore was the inter galactic adventure. Going from star to star seeing some places still is lower evolution phases and such. Once while a planet was in the civilization phase, I killed all the other towns leaders except one and that civilization became an allie once they advanced. This SHOULD have been my favorite game of all time, this SHOULD have been so much more but the developers who failed to see this game's vision are in Deep regret.
EA sucks ah well..
But I thought Will Wright and his team did a good job keeping it a fun game
