The Spore Supersite

Soon to come : Spore Profiles

A possible delay

Written on: January 30, 2008 by



So I'm sure all of you have heard of the delay that may soon take place. Many of you have read several articles and Spore_fan, was the first to post something about it  here (to my knowledge). Thanks for getting on that spore_fan.

I figured that there were some of you who had not yet read that thread so I decided to post an alert of it on the news page.

Don't get alarmed because IT'S NOT SET IN STONE. Many predict that it's going to happen but EA has not made any definite plans yet. You can read another article about it here.

Now don't jump for your USB switchblades spore nerds, this is in no way, any shape, or form Will Wrights/Maxis' fault. Many spore veterans will deduct this knowledgeably. This is EA's doing. The fact of the matter is, is that they're a corporation that lives on its shares. It is said that EA will have no hesitation delaying spore if it means more money on their part.

You will definitely be updated on this issue if more information comes up.

Thank you

We're lucky if it's out by the end of fall.

I actually still have my official pre-order slip from EB Games dated for October 2006. It's so worn that there literally is no ink left on the receipt. That's right, the only proof I have anymore is a blank slip of paper. That's how long this crap has gone on for.

spittle22 - Feb 01, 2008 10:19 PM

that is not true they said that it will com out this year confirmed. if it dosent i will be pissed

minipwnerer - Feb 01, 2008 05:26 PM

Dam. Typical of EA though.

Turdpolisher - Feb 01, 2008 02:04 PM

from this da forth i vow never to buy another EA game.

Gmano - Jan 31, 2008 06:38 PM

question: how would delaying i help them to make $theyd had have to pay more money to thier employees and people and would lose more and more fan base

Real life?! take a look around, we are all slaves to a piece of paper with numbers on it. I dare not call this real life, I call it slavery! This puts limits to how we can live, some people are starving and out on the streets. Why? because they do not have enough pieces of paper to get them food, or a home. Why did Hitler become dictator of Germany? because of the great depression! He gave jobs and got the people out of the streets, and he brought them into war. My point- Money is The Devil himself, all 'supporters' are it's minions and all those that work to get it are the slaves! No one can say what real life is, because no one has experienced it for tens of thousands of years. But I'm sure it's something better than the kind of life humanity is leading today. I can tell you one thing- we are all strapped in chains inside a bus heading towards a bottomless death pit.

LightWarrior - Jan 31, 2008 05:08 PM

rhetoric - I dunno about you but I have a job to not live on streets. lol

xAzkanan - Jan 31, 2008 02:01 PM

Spore is like being abducted by aliens (ironically), it's never been seen by the wider public, you joke about it but never expect it to happen to you. Delay ftw...¬¬

"Greedy"? "Money hungry"? Have none of you ever had a job? Why do you work? To make money. Why does EA exist? To make money. Companies don't exist simply to produce games for us. They exist to make their owners money. If you had bought a basic computer for $500, upgraded the motherboard, added the best graphics card on the market, upgraded to 3 GB of RAM, upgraded the processor, added every other kind of option you could think of, and then could sell it for a $2000 profit, would you do it? What if by waiting an extra couple months, you could sell it for a $4000 profit....would you wait? Hell yeah! If we want EA to put out quality games, it has to make money. If it doesn't, where will it get the funds to invest in Will Wright's next venture?! We may not like it, but you guys really have give up the accusing tone toward EA, as if all they care about is the money. Of course it is! That's business! Bitch and moan about the delay, but to say you can't understand it and that you would do something different is just sheer ignorance of real life.

Although EA may be 'greedy' i read that they are planning to release spore in the early fiscal 2009, which runs from april 2008 to march 31 2009. In the case of another long delay, this game keeps my sanity in one piece while waiting.- www.scorched3d.co.uk.

Foreverspore72 - Jan 31, 2008 08:22 AM

Fuck, why the hell do they do this to us. Some of us has been waiting for years for this damn game. Will your awsome, but you seriusly fucked up when you let EA get control of the game's production. You should've known they would do that Will, they are a businessmen, not game designers.

piroreaper44 - Jan 31, 2008 01:40 AM

Hold on everybody. This is fully EA's fault. Read the article link i gave you. Spore is done, finished, could be shipped right now if there weren't certain marketing complications, My guess is the bugs they're working on are minor, and could be fixed in just a simple update. Don't throw out words like "Will wants to work on it more", "Wright is money hungry",and "Will just don car". EA is a bitch end of story.

Vexx Firebrand - Jan 31, 2008 01:31 AM

This could be a good thing, maybe they will add the sea creatures back into the mix. Only if it were true, it would make it well worth the wait then.

Sporetime - Jan 31, 2008 12:40 AM

lol, so we did get our big news by the end of JAN... this is totally lame.

OMGSPOREOMG - Jan 30, 2008 11:23 PM

Omni, I wasn't saying that Will Wright is trying for more money its EA, they fuck with everything. If only Will Wright could split off or at least get control of his own game so he could have the work put in to it the way he wanted and have it released somewhere close to when he planned it.

Mario2 - Jan 30, 2008 11:22 PM

Holy ************************************************************* Jeez, they've been working on this game for over 3 years and still can't finish it and create more frickin possiblilities of delays!

spittle22 - Jan 30, 2008 10:40 PM

I had told some people but this always jest to go to hell talking about the release date it drives me mad.damn

OmniRapeasor - Jan 30, 2008 10:34 PM

What you don't get is it isn't about money. Will Wright wants a masterpiece and he'll take his damn time on making an epic game.

Shadescythe - Jan 30, 2008 10:32 PM

Im getting tired of waiting for this game.

OMGSPOREOMG - Jan 30, 2008 10:22 PM

woo spittle posting right after me... you were so close to posting before me! and now in response to your post that probably does not take mine into consideration! Fix your spelling please, and asking for a commercial won't help much and I doubt that they would send a commercial out before a set-in-stone release date because the same thing would happen as has happened here. Every is all hyped up but then as it gets delayed again and again they go away and spore goes to the back of their heads.

spittle22 - Jan 30, 2008 10:19 PM

hay u should send an email to april telling her we are geting fed up if ea wants more money show a cemercal of spore delaying it jest makes us fucked off so jest release the damn thing and show a cemercal for gods sake

OMGSPOREOMG - Jan 30, 2008 10:19 PM

well you know what lets all buy EA shares or something so they hurry up and stop delaying a game that will indeed change humanity as we know it! Come on guys W.W. isn't doing anything wrong, its damn EA they push back EVERYTHING remember they're logo "EA Games,*Cough* Delay *Cough* Challenge Everything

ToddMite - Jan 30, 2008 10:02 PM

(OmniRapeasor) meh... but you understood what i said, right? if they release the game, they're suposed to gain cash not lose it... :P

OmniRapeasor - Jan 30, 2008 09:57 PM

I doubt anyone profits billions of dollars on any game.

willietdog - Jan 30, 2008 09:50 PM

don't give them any ideas. If they do this I will be pissed.

ToddMite - Jan 30, 2008 09:30 PM

they're cold hearted =_= but...wait a minute... if they release spore, aren't they supooooooooosed to gain bilions of cash...errr..."again"?

Baium - Jan 30, 2008 09:28 PM

at least it will still probably fall into the time line of possible release dates they last spoke of... just now its the latest we had expected june-july +++

Arch_Laughter - Jan 30, 2008 09:26 PM

Wow. Stupid corporate America.

OmniRapeasor - Jan 30, 2008 09:26 PM

Its not for real yet. EA hasn't said anything.

Spore+Delay=Bad - Jan 30, 2008 09:24 PM
