Project Spark on one hand seems like a rather small scale "Who cares about it" kind of game. It's going to be Free To Play. Just how awesome could it be? Let me tell you why Project Spark is so much more than a small time game.
I can't....I won't... believe that there is a single gamer out there that hasn't wondered why a certain game didn't exist. Or how they would have made a game better. Who hasn't played a game that by all rights SHOULD have been awesome, but wasn't. Can you imagine all the gamers out there with all kinds of ideas but no way to bring them to the world? The things that are potentially locked away in any given persons mind is limitless.
Granted, some things should STAY forever buried in some peoples minds, but at least we wouldn't have paid for them. Maybe you're not the creative sort, but maybe others are. Instead of creating your own dreams live them through someone else's creation. My autistic son I imagine will have a hard time with creating something, but I can also seem him delving into things that others create. My autistic husband on the other hand already has ideas brewing. Several of them. He thinks in pictures. I can see JUST what he wants.
The BIG reason why Project Spark isn't just some small time Free To Play game: Publishers, developers, everyone will be able to see what it is that gamers are interested in. Going forward I can see Project Spark as a tool to fuel the gaming community and the games we play. They'll know what we want. It will be shown by the types of games we are creating vs the type of games we are playing within the Project Spark community.
If you ask me, I'd say that Microsoft nailed it with this little idea. Project Spark will be having people's imagination sparking all over the place. Just wait for the wild fire that will ensue in the gaming world, and all thanks to one little Free To Play game.
You can find Project Spark on Facebook to keep up with all their latest news. Word has it they will be releasing information about beta this week. Project Spark will be released on Windows 8, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
