Sims and Spore creator Will Wright takes on Stephen Colbert
It’s nothing like O’Reilly on Letterman, but Will Wright’s appearance on “The Colbert Show” was equally interesting without the former’s cat-fight ambiance. In the Colbert Report, the Sims creator explains his upcoming game Spore – which Colbert described as “the most detailed and imaginative simulation of blasphemy” he’s ever seen.
In Spore, a gamer takes on the role of a creator building civilizations from scratch, or more precisely, one-celled organisms, using the forces of evolution. The gameplay involves competing with other creators for dominance. Clash of the Titans would be one way of describing it. Ironically, the interview was held on a Christmas manger set which is, of course, the depiction of the birth of the son of the Creator.
Wright also explains the idea behind the wildly successful The Sims franchise (various titles available for the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC, and PSP). Wright says the simulation videogame is an educational tool and a form for expressing creativity. By the way, when watching the Colbert Report keep in mind that it is a comedy show and not a real talk show. Now enjoy the video posted by crisphil1724.
