Creatures Caves

Don't be so negative about the idea of another Creatures game, Tarlia! The way you said that makes it seem as if you don't want another Creatures game.

Now for my main point. I don't actually own an Ipad myself, but I agree with the other statements and it probably would be just BAD. Secondly, Creatures for PS1 = bad idea. They just didn't have the technology back then for it to work. But think about it nowadays. There is far more compatibility now. What with memory cards that are probably (I don't actually own a PS3) much more powerful and advanced, it could work.

And the problem of talking to your Creature has already been solved: pack a microphone in with the game! I don't actually know but I gather that voice recognition technology is quite good by now. Plus, with the PlayStation move coming soon or already out (I don't know) there are more possibilities still! Mainly, in Creatures 3 and Docking Station you have the ability to pick up your Creatures. Imagine doing that for real! There would also probably be more chance of a 3D Creatures game working and not being one giant glitch on an actual console.

I am not saying anything bad about the PC's capabilities, in fact I quite believe that the graphics would be just as good. What would worry me is the fact that Creatures takes up so much space. Think about it. The creatures would look GLORIOUS in today's graphics and they would not be much of a problem on the PC. That is until you take into account how huge the Creatures game engine is. Then both the graphics and the game engine become two giants battling it out for space on your PC, doubtlessly leading to glitches in both of them, which isn't good. Then it's going to vastly slow down your computer; any other programs on it, the internet and basically your whole system.

Finally, you realise you no longer have any space to download other stuff, such as anti-virus software. All this and the players will be expecting new features to be in the game. The cute little Norns, the computer whiz Ettins and those devious little Grendels have wrecked your computer. They looked so innocent on the box too! Then along comes Dr. Richard Marks (head of Sony Gaming) with his PS3. The PS3 would have far less problems than the PC, I think because instead of a hard drive and RAM, the PS3 has memory cards. Even if the game took up two or three memory cards, Dr. Marks would come up with something clever like a multi tap only for memory cards.

Penultimately, you can buy more memory cards, which means in theory unlimited space. However, you cannot buy more hard drive space and RAM, which means definite limited space. As for my earlier idea of voice recognition, if the customers don't like it then just bring out a keyboard add on or even put something in the device that allows you to hook up your actual keyboard! Finally, I would like to see this happen. A lot.

So, if anyone would like it to happen too then please say so. Together we can do this! If you are in, spread the word! Let all your buddies know about the plan! Alone, or as a group just standing about pining, nothing will happen and we almost certainly won't be seeing another Creatures title unless Gameware Development decide to make one and get funding. But united we can bring about the release of Creatures 4!
