Spore will be using a lot of procedural techniques, like procedural animation and textures.

Thats pretty cool but 70-90% smaller? Textures alone don't take up that much space in games.

they said that only the texture size will be 70 - 90% smaller. But they did manage to get a 527mb game down to 50mb, which is pretty damn good.

Hahaha....no.

However, that first picture looked almost identical to what a real picture would! That's just completely amazing and cool...
