EA Announces Create, A Game About...Creation

Posted by BradNicholson (812 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

It's hard to see past the Zerg rush, but before Blizzard's RTS hit the streets, one of the big things we talked about was customizable play--the concepts you see in games like LittleBigPlanet or Kodu. With neither of these titles in EA's stable, it was about time that we had a game like Create, an EA Play Label joint that looks to be a watered down version of those aforementioned titles.

In Create, you'll design open environments with tools like brushes and textures, and solve individual "level-based challenges" created by designers. The latter action will, in turn, earn players even more tools for design. Warning, though: Create is a baby-friendly title. It probably won't allow us the opportunity to build a killer triple-decker ramp off of The Mona Lisa's schnoz.
  
“Create uses families’ imaginations to develop new ways to play together that are both fun and challenging," Harvey Elliot, GM at EA Bright Light said in a statement. “We wanted to design a game where the entire family can explore, decorate, and solve challenges where no solution is wrong and the only limit is the imagination." 
 
 

 

In a cool twist, you'll be able to upload your creations and challenges and share them with friends on the Xbox 360, Mac, PS3, and PC versions of Create. Said buds can then "remix" the levels and add in dongs, curse words, set new challenges based on your old ones, or do whatever else they desire.

Create is coming to the PS3, Macintosh, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii this November. The PS3 version will support Move control. No word on the 360 version supporting Kinect

Bad LBP?
 
EDIT: Finally got through that assy quest!

#3 Posted by Drebin_893 (2803 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Sounds like it could be alright as a family game.

#4 Posted by BeachThunder (8902 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Ironically uncreative name :|

#5 Posted by Gabriel (4035 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

ugh Kodo

#6 Posted by Atomasist (2817 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Looks okay.

#7 Posted by m2cks (499 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Wait, dongs?! Sold!

#8 Posted by MordeaniisChaos (5731 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

So yeah, this is just an uninspired, generic, not so great looking LBP without all of the indie charm. Sweet.......?

#9 Posted by Video_Game_King (29332 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Wait, so it's just creation? To what end?

#10 Posted by gingertastic_10 (4140 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Sounds pretty cool.

creation...
#12 Posted by HS21 (2657 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Not interested.

#13 Posted by HT101 (1139 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I don't really care about this game at all.  Also, what is up with this motherloving quest from Best Buy?  It's hella easy so there's that.

#14 Posted by MayorFeedback (668 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Wonderful.

#15 Posted by DaManGB (377 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

alright? could be good

#16 Posted by aurahack (2032 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Creationism! 
 
Also, looks pretty childish :(

creation... "
Yet that's not an end in itself, that's just a means to reach an end. What would I be doing with these creations?

Looks somewhat from the screens like Joe Danger & looks like the level made by people where no solution is wrong might result in larger file sizes (to accomodate for all the options) or it will go into something like Scribblenauts where you can find one solution that's the quickest (like my favorite of putting in Cthulhu & watch the fun) which is endlessly repeated until finding something else to play.

#19 Posted by jford (50 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Not sure how Kinect would work with this game. Cool concept though.

#20 Posted by RecSpec (3060 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

In before shots at creationism, haha.

#21 Posted by mubblegum (250 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I don't know what I think of this game... it kinda looks cool, and kinda doesn't? It seems to have been done before, but I'd be interested to see what they do.

#22 Posted by Death_Unicorn (2813 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

All right.

#23 Posted by PhatSeeJay (3311 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

That look spectacular!

#24 Posted by finmon (117 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Poor man's LBP for Xbox users?  
Could be interesting though...

#25 Posted by Tregard (140 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Looks like a bad physics sandbox...

#26 Posted by Pessh (2406 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

LBP?

#27 Posted by Webby (718 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Not sure about this

#28 Posted by damswedon (3091 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

well that seems absolutely fuckatrocious

Getting a sense of self-satisfaction from doing so? ¯\(°_o)/¯ 
#30 Posted by Honk (27 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

To me it looks a little too childish for much enjoyment.  Hopefully that's not the case, since I enjoy Little Big Planet.
#31 Posted by D34dM4n (150 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

so creation for creation's sake? i will probably never touch this game

#32 Posted by wrecks (1883 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I predict fail.

#33 Posted by Linkin10362 (602 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Sounds kinda weird, but I'll look forward to it.

#34 Posted by metalsnakezero (2054 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

There is no way this can be good as LBP. Completely uninteresting and I'm not just using those words to get the best buy quest :D

#35 Posted by Video_Game_King (29332 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago
@BeachThunder: 
 
I'm not a theological expert, but that sounds like masturbation :P.
#36 Posted by Timmy (51 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

So it's Spore, right?

#37 Posted by bigdaddyjack21 (171 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Bland name

#38 Posted by ZombiePie (4793 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I know that it sounds like a senseless floccinaucinihilipilification but the picture looks like a bad Thrillville with what sounds like motion controls tacked on.

I love procrastination

#40 Posted by kungfuchamber36 (7 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

 Creationism!

#41 Posted by Onigenko (335 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I would rather just wait for LittleBigPlanet 2, thank you very much.

#42 Posted by SumDeus (1857 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Lol biodegradable.

#43 Posted by DukeTogo (1505 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Kodu is something I already completely forgot about.

#44 Posted by Jimages (11 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Haha :P

#45 Posted by Yeahbuhwhat (35 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I can't create anything worthwhile myself, so the value of this game depends on the quality of the community behind it.

This.
#47 Posted by TheBeast (1931 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

They need to mix this with the Spore creation tools...

#48 Posted by VoshiNova (1272 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Right on I guess

#49 Posted by Piglet (123 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

make.believe?

#50 Posted by CrazedJoker (321 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

A version of LBP that fell out of a developers ass after a bad encounter?
