SPORE In The News

EA AND MAXIS TO SHIP SPORE IN SEPTEMBER

Redwood City, CA - February 12, 2008 - Get ready for the next Big Bang this fall! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Maxis today announced that Spore™, the highly anticipated game from the creators of The Sims™, will be available at retailers worldwide the weekend of September 7. Spore will be available for the PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS™, and mobile phones.
"The wait is almost over," said Maxis Chief Designer Will Wright. "We're in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can't wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year."
Spore gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers.

And when I get that game in my hands, my social life ends.
Fully agreed, This game will be pure win.

It's all procedurally generated, too. This is probably what excites me the most about it. I can't wait to see how dynamic the world is. Not to mention the music which is also procedural. I'm very anxious to hear some of it.

[Zanthian]

I have been waiting a while for this game and I really hope they don't push it back. The Wired article stated that they are going to release the creature creator free before the game comes out, just to get people drooling in anticipation of the game.

[GHoosdum]

I think that is a stroke of genius to market this game.

[NiGHTS]

I completely forgot about the music generating itself! Good point, Lynx.
