Spore for Mac in 2008

Written on: January 15, 2008 by xDreamache



In an article released today from news.com, EA will show Spore running with Macs at the Macworld Expo which is currently being held. It will release for Macs at the same time it does PC. So how about that?  It's January 15th, marking the official beginning of the *middle* of the month - which is great because our friend April Jones mentioned we will begin seeing an influx of news from "mid-to-late January".  Good stuff, I say.

UPDATE:
It seems Spore is even playable for the public at the show, this short creature editor video of the Mac version arrived:

I do believe they were shooting to release a "demo" of some sort by the end of January, and by demo I mean a version of the Spore Editor. Rumors are, that EA wanted to pre-release the editor before the game, or an actual demo not only to start up the hype train again, but to actually "recruit" a couple free employees. The plan was to use this "demo" to have the general public populate their servers with creatures before launch, at no cost to them. This way, EA will get human created content for free, and the community feels like they are getting a free demo of what Spore will be able to do. Thats what I hear at least, but i cant help but wonder if their AI driven procedurally created creatures are not turning out how they expected, forcing them to need actual human created creatures..

listen to what a guy said to the cameraman near the end of the video. He said to the cameraman, "You can film everything except Spore". The video ended because of that f*cking guy!
