Very long, very cool
I saw this a month or so ago (i think) the first thing i thought was...oh oh, all those 3d modellers are now out of a job, concider that the forests in Oblivion will be done the same way, randomization through code will do things that no 3d modeller can do.
This is not the first time I have seen a preview video.. But I think this is longer than the one I saw before... walks through almost every level / phase of the game play.
Wow! Finally watched this one, looks neat.
:D "...and so, there goes my reputation as a non-violent game developer..." Sims creator and kid-at-heart Will Wright, at the 31minute mark :)
Holy Gigahertz, Batman! What kinda workhouse of a PC will ya need to run these... procedures? :o
PS: Will gets cut off at the 35min 47sec mark, but it looks like the above is a subset of THIS: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-262774490184348066&q=Will+Wright
Yup, there's a lot of interesting stuff (just Mr. Wright talking) but the other video is just the gameplay demo only.
Oh, and the Wikipedia entry for the game ROCKS -- includes a lot of good quotes describing the game (how Wright divided up the various phases, and the "Lucas/Tolkien" reference, etc.) ... and includes the Google video link.

I am actually quite excited about this game. I've been so busy most of this year that I've rarely played any video games, yet I'm 80% wanting to buy *this* title. 8) 8)
New E3 video - looks like they have completed the color and texturing features.

Don't forget the E3 forum is up and ready for postings again this year.
