*grins*
just wait until that becomes the BASIS for a game, instead of it being a game itself :-P

This may not be a very good game itself, but I think that it is the next step in game-making. I don't care if it's not going to be very good anyway. I'll have it. Because I think it will be good.
But also because I think that it's a herald of new times.

I definately think it looks like it'd be a lot of fun, but I don't know about revolutionary. then again, it's a long video, I'm only half way through

after finishing the video (35 minutes!) the following things came to mind
I think they're almost being too broad in scope, the game probably could have stopped at the tribal level and still been great fun. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just hoping that all that it does isn't too much to get done. I guess we'll see come fourth quarter this year.
This is basically every game maxis has ever made rolled up into one (this is not a bad thing!)
It needs some sort of multiplayer, the possibilities are near endless <grin> But based on what's in the video, there seems to be too much power available to the player for that to really work. hard to say though. maybe limited skirmishes taking place at specified "levels"
Several players fight it out at the microbial level, first to sufficiently evolve wins, and on and on at different levels.
Maybe each player choose a species from the library, and start at any other level. lots of possibilities I guess.
Does look like it'll be fun, if it's half as fun as it looks, I'll likely buy it.
*edit* official release date is apparently Oct 16th
