I didn’t know there was actual footage from Will Wright’s Spore presentation at last GDC. Watch it. The technology involved in all the procedural modelling and animation of the creatures looks nothing short of amazing.
I hope Maxis has authorized its release, and they don’t send a black van to my house. In this day and age where google search gets sued for copyright infringement, you never know. 🙂
The full presentation can be watched here:

You need to have an account, but when it asks you to log-in just enter "a@b.c" as e-mail address and you’re ready to go. ^^
Damn I wasn’t logged in (again :P) so couldn’t edit that other post. Just wanted to say to the others that it’s definitely worth watching. I really look forward to play this game!!
