Anyone else heard of Spore yet? A game in development by Will Wright from Maxis. Creator of Simcity, Sims, ...
The story is simple and complicated at the same time. You start as a single celled thing, and grow slowly, after a while you evolve, blah blah, a few hours later your creatures begins using tools, living in tribes, etc, then later still cities and advanced tech.
and by the end you become a spacefaring race.
What's cool about it is that everything is player created. Any other creatures you run into, are designed by other players. Any creatures, items, buildings, vehicles you make, are uploaded to a big maxis server that then shares your stuff with other players.
The game's announced for april/may 2007.
Here's the original announcement/presentation, from GDC 2005: www.pqhp.com/cmp/gdctv/
And here's a gameplay video from E3 2006: uk.media.pc.ign.com/media/735/735340/vids_1.html
Both videos are huge. The first is an hour in length, the second I am not sure about length. Still have to see it, but it's 200 MB.
