When it Rains, it Spores – A Recap of Today's Spore Stories
Wow. After months/years with little to no information on Will Wright's Spore we were treated to an explosion of new information in a matter of hours. With so much concrete information released it almost makes you believe something crazy ... like, you know, they might actually release the game in the near future!
For those who might have missed some of the Spore-related articles that suddenly appeared in the last 12 hours here's a quick recap:
- Spore release date confirmed as September 7, 2008 and will be released for PC, Mac, DS, and mobile phones.
- Interview with Caryl Shaw, Maxis producer, concerning the Spore interface, it's release on the Wii, and her upcoming talks at next week's GDC conference.
- IGN interview with Maxis' Executive Producer Lucy Bradshaw and Senior Producer Morgan Roarty about Spore.
- Newsweek's N'Gai Croal speaks with Will Wright and Executive Producer Lucy Bradshaw.
- Multiple screenshots of the DS version of Spore.
So is there going to be a podcast this week where you talk about Spore? ;)

But for now, I'm gunning for PC. Nuts to you, DS Spore.
Huh.. sounds almost like "Diaspora" when you say it.
Or maybe I need some sleep.
Since I have every intention of buying a DS sometime this year, I'll probably get the PC and DS versions. But, PC will, of course, come first.
I just wish they'd announced system requirements with the release date.
Posted by Fobok at February 13, 2008 3:33 AMI'm luckily doing a massive upgrade myself, so it doesn't matter what the specs are to me. :D
But I don't figure they'd definitively know the specs quite yet.
Probably get an estimation soon.
Aw man not again. I dont want to know! I dont want to be hyped for a game that isnt released after another 8 months of wait.
Damn you!
Well at least maybe this time we will get content to keep our fingers busy with until the actual release. :/
