When Spore PS3 Controller Creatures Rumble!
Posted by Stephen Totilo at 5:20 AM on June 27, 2008
Spore can be used to re-create 360 controllers. Yay.
Spore can be used to re-create Wii-motes. Yay.
But did you know that Spore has the raw power to re-create PS3 controllers? It can even do that boomerang-looking proto-type controller. This all comes from searching "PS3" in the Sporepedia, a search that also brings up the MGS4 MkII. I haven't found a 2600 joystick in there yet. (Did find the Wii Zapper).
Look through the gallery below for a quartet of Spore PS3 controllers that will walk and scavenge in the land of Spore. I look forward to visiting a Spore world populated by warring factions of game controllers. What are you going to put in your world?

Question:
If these people are creating controller-based creatures, does that mean they'll use the building creator to create the PS3/360/Wii consoles as the buildings they use? Because that would be phenominal.
Maybe use the vehicle editor to make UPS/Fedex trucks, delivering goods to the systems lol.

@DashTheHand: this is one of the things that i thought about when the creature creator was coming out...we're gonna have tons of "unique" ideas come out, followed by immature ideas, then finally 'hey this monster looks like something else'
@StephenTotilo: now that we've seen the major 3, lets see some unique stuff that looks decent =p....or a n-gage - i kid.

All the Spore controller creatures remind me of the game pods from the movie ExistenZ.
Awesome stuff, cannot wait to get my hands on this game!

And guys, really, I just did this post to save Kotaku. Without it, imagine the accusations of bias that would have been hurled the blog's way. You can't have an Xbox Spore post and a Wii spore post and not have one for the Sony juggernaut.
It can't be!

Yeah, I'm in agreement with the people who wish this would just go away. I'm utterly bored with seeing what people can make with the creature creator. It's just not interesting anymore. We get it, people can make lots of things. They've made penises, and breasts, and vaginas, and Mario and Sonic and Master Chief and Snake, and now they're making consoles and controllers. Just release the game, please, Mr. Wright, so we can simply play it instead of having our interest in the game ruined by an absolutely endless stream of stories about the character creator.

Rumble creatures? That is so last evolutionary stage. Plus, it conflicts with the current six-organ system.

I'm waiting for a tattoo of a cake of post-it pixel art of a papercraft Spore creature of a controller.
C'mon Internets, don't let me down!

I am starting to wonder if the abundance of the creatures being shown around the net right now will make the full game's features a bit underwhelming. I know it's only one out of 5 phases in the game, but it does seem like one of the more entertaining phases and one that'll probably get a lot of mileage up to the release of Spore. Still haven't seen how the Cell Phase will add to this, considering if you have the full Creature Creator you've effectively subverted it.
Reminds me a lot of City of Heroes where I had way more fun creating the character in some cases than actually playing the game.

Anywho, I am kinda getting tired of these spore creatures, I want to see original stuff, things that boggle the mind, unique weird creations... not monster controllers.:P

Eh this looks to be the least impressive of the three. In my opinion anyway. It looks more like a droopy schlong than a PS3 controller...

Being able to create all kinds of strange creatures is all well and good, but how exactly will they have an impact within the game they're eventually supposed to inhabit.
Can a player create any stupid design and expect it to be successful? I think this will be a test of how sophisticated Spore actually is. If any creature design can be as successful as anything else I'll have a hard time believing there is real substance to the game.

This is going to suck when spore automatically imports designs from another player's "universe", and you end up fighting against cocks and controllers. Anyways, how hard could it be to defeat a controller?
