Spore Vehicle Editor in PCG

[Iced_Eagle]

In the Jan 2007 issue of PCGamer (US), there is a small article on how the vehicle editor works in Spore.

Essentially, it's exactly like all of the other editors. Originally, they were going to do it lego-style where you place it part by part but found out that they needed to keep it consistent.

They show the creation of a vehicle, and it looks really sweet. The parts blend together, and looks really nice. So far, the texturing is meh on the vehicles, but it's not due out for a few more months so I'm sure they will make the textures you can choose better by then.

They also discuss that there will not only be military vehicles, but also diplomatic and cultural vehicles. Diplomatic vehicles carry economy barries and such, and cultural vehicles have like music parts... It's sort of weird looking. They said they couldn't give details about their functions quite yet.

Anyways, for those of you dying for every bit of Spore information, look out for the latest PCG. It has a funny little spore creature in a vehicle firing it's weapons on the cover also getting chased by an enemy fighter.

I'd have to find scans of it. I don't like buying magazines just to catch a glimpse at a couple pages.

I watched the E3 video of it.. just search google, the creator goes through the entire game from molecule to intergalactic warfare. It is truly, my dream game. I have been thinking about a game where you build up your stuff, make your coutry/nation thingy, then eventually, you get to space and you can do supa multi-player!
I will get it when it comes out. I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL! I wil save 50$ of my X-Mas/Birthday money and pre-order it when it becomes available, and Watch every gameplay video I can. God has truly blessed us with this guy.

I hope he doesn't screw something up.

Oh, I just ordered a year of PCG, so I should get J-07, w00t!
