Holy Crap! Spore Created StarCraft Amazes Us
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 4:00 PM on September 26, 2008
The great thing about Spore is all the stuff we can make. No, make that, the great thing about Spore is all the stuff really talented people can make. Check out these images from Korean site Ruliweb of in-Spore created Starcraft Terran faction buildings and vehicles. Check out the Vulture, Siege Tank, Goliath, Wraith and Battlecruiser! The attention to detail is astounding. There are three words for this and they are "only in Korea". Have a gander in the gallery below.

That's one of most impressive user-created stuff I ever seen from such a game.
And BRILLIANTLY ILLUMINATING & LIFE CHANGING.

part of me wants to say that the people who made those have too much free time on their hands, but the other part me is willing to admit I'm jelouse of that talent :-/

What a loser! He should learn to build real Terran vehicles instead of doing it in a game!
Oh, the standard Guitar Hero deflection doesn't work here...
In that case, that is unbelievably amazing!

You must be thinking of LBP. There is a very clear limit to what you can create in spore.

There's no way this came from Korea. It would require playing a game _other_ than Starcraft.

@Bokusatsu_Tenshi:
Also, it seems I underestimated the Spore editor.
Didn't know you could make so many detailed stuff.
Is that the creature editor, or some sort of vehicle editor?
I mean, can you create a creature as detailed as that vulture?

@alecpyron: Okay, I've been studying Korean (living there currently), and can _read_ that, but have no clue what it _means_...
Dae Dan Ha Da is the pronunciation (at least it is, if i've been paying attention), but what does it mean?! If Google Translate is to be believed, it says "It's incredible"
Is that correct?

@NeoAkira: Gah, limitless? You are deluding yourself.
LBP has a great editor, but there are some pretty clear limits to what it does and doesn't do. In fact, without limits and constraints, it would be nowhere near as useful to the player for building levels and objects.

@Purple Dave: It makes perfect sense actually, this poor Korean guy accidentally booted up Spore instead of Starcraft and this was the result. It's the only they could play a game other than Starcraft. They are adapting.
