GOOOOLD!!!!

Written on: August 14, 2008 by Alterego



The wait is almost over! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Maxis today announced that Spore(TM), the most anticipated video game of the year from the creator of The Sims(TM), has gone gold and will be available for the Mac and PC at retailers September 5 in Europe and September 7 in North America and Asia Pacific. Spore(TM) Creatures for Nintendo DS(TM) and Spore(TM) Origins for mobile phones will also be available globally September 7.

Players who preorder Spore or Spore Galactic Edition from participating retailers will receive a coupon good for $10 off their next purchase of custom merchandise at www.zazzle.com/sporestore. For the ultimate Spore fan, the limited Galactic Edition will contain the 'Making of Spore' DVD, 'How to Build a Better Being' DVD (a 50 minute National Geographic Channel documentary DVD hosted by Spore mastermind, Will Wright), 'The Art of Spore' hardback book, an exclusive Spore poster, and a premium 100-page Galactic Handbook.

"We are so excited to finally get Spore into the hands of fans and players," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "The Maxis studio has had an absolute blast creating Spore, but the fun is just beginning. The most engaging stories are truly the ones people create themselves, and we can't wait to see how players not only craft and explore the Spore universe, but hear what stories they have to tell as a result."

Like the tech video. Anyway 3 things I really liked in that first video. At 28:40 he makes a comment about not likeing all the creatures that have been made. At 47:40 he mentions why we don't have some of the hair and feather options we would have liked to see. At 56:16 they mention why we won't be seeing our creatures piloting any of the vehicles. In the second video they mentioned collision detection, said there was no way they could figure that out for spore. Also he mentioned how they had made major changes to the complexity meter.

18. lucky711 - Aug 17, 2008 01:12 AM

hi! i love the cool contests and i would love to enter in some but i don't know how to upload my creature here to "my creatures" on xspore! it says on one of the steps i need to "Click on your creature in the spore.com sporepedia and paste the URL in the address bar here." and then "Right click on the "Download" link in the spore.com sporepedia and save that file to your desktop. This is what you need to upload and is *required*. PNG Only" What do they both mean and how do i do both??!! PLEASE help! thank you! :D

19. lucky711 - Aug 16, 2008 11:18 PM

hey i also found from 1UP.com! they are going to have a contest every week and you have to submit your creature and if you win, you get an awesome gift! Your creature has to follow the theme each time! click HERE to see all about it!! http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3169179

20. imallears?? - Aug 16, 2008 11:14 PM

21. lucky711 - Aug 16, 2008 10:47 PM

SPORE is going to have an expansion! Apparently, expansions have already been planned for Spore. This is every gamer's anticipation. Lucy Bradshaw has stated that not only is it possible, but the Spore engine has been designed FOR them. READ HERE: http://www.digitalbattle.com/2008/08/15/spore-experience-to-be-expanded/

@imallears?? : I'm pretty sure an intel core duo is more advanced than a pentium 4 so im petty sure youre fine. correct me if im wrong

23. Dred13 - Aug 16, 2008 01:18 PM

Hey everyone, 2 things, one their are going to be expansions whith one including the flora editor and more parts not to mention that ,2, 1up is having creature contests called the sporelympics and the winnner of a contest gets the creature they entered turned into a action figure kind of thing which they'll mail to u!!!! this weeks contest is..... "to Cute to live",quite literally so cute you want to kill it like new hunters wanting to kill bambi

24. Loknar - Aug 16, 2008 01:08 PM

to imallears?? I'm not certain but I'm fairly sure a core 2 "duo" would work just fine. If it's a "solo" then that's more questionable.
