Spore planted on September 7, coming to PS3/360? PC, DS, and Mac editions evolution-civilization-space-exploration sim finally dated; EA Games prez says game in development for "next-generation consoles" including the Wii; new trailer inside. By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Feb 12, 2008 10:54 am PT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After more than a year of delays and nearly three years in development, Spore finally has a release date. Will Wright's anticipated sim game will arrive on the DS, PC, and Macintosh during the weekend of September 7, according to publisher EA. The game has not yet been officially rated or priced, but online retailers are listing it for $49.99. The Wii version of Spore, which was reconfirmed at an EA analysts' event today, has not yet been dated. However, it may not be the only version of the ambitious evolution-civilization-space-exploration sim to hit next-generation consoles. Speaking to analysts, EA Games president Frank Gibeau said that Spore is "already in development" for the newest generation of consoles, "Wii included." He did not specify further platforms, and an EA reps speaking to GameSpot would say the company is "considering all options in the console space." Designed by Sims creator Will Wright, Spore is among the most ambitious simulation games ever planned. Beginning at the start of evolution, it follows life from single-celled organisms through the dawn of civilization. From there, it follows the player's fully customizable species as it climbs up the technological ladder all the way to space exploration, which allows it to colonize other planets. In addition to dropping hints about new platforms, Gibeau also hinted that Spore might not be entirely free of charge. He told analysts that the online mode of the game could be an "opportunity" for an "expanded digital revenue stream." He did not elaborate if said stream entailed microtransactions, in-game advertising, subscription fees, or any combination of the three.

Sounds like a cool game. Kinda like RoN, xept without fighting. What exactly is the point? Just to go through evolution? |

I think it's kinda like you make a species and then that builds up into a population and then a community, ect. And then through online you can interact with other people's species on the different planets and such. Not positive tho. |
