September 7th on DS, Mobile, PC & Mac.

Lets see if it arrives. Strange that DS & mobile get a version before the home consoles do.

'tis gonna be awesome!

Soo when can we expect cheats and people running around nuking planets to ruin this games online?? =x =O =X

PS/Edit: I probably have a false understanding of this game right now

Seeing how I'm channeling information from like 2 years ago when I first heard of the game...

PPS: It would still suck if your universe was being populated by Lightyears ahead cheater aliens, even if someone else isnt directly controlling them anymore.

I'm really looking foward to this game as well. I'm just playing an early antagonist.

9/11

d'oh, shouldnta went there >_<

Really, it usually takes not more than a few days I'm sure you know for online play to be ruined...

 

[Spikey]

I thought Spore wasn't directly online. I thought the only thing it did online was make it so your world is filled with the creations of others. Like just their creatures, not them directly playing with you.

But I could be wrong...

Either way I can't wait.

FINALLY! Geez I have been excited for this since it's unveiling, and I have been waiting and waiting for this game. I was starting to worry it'd go the road of Duke Nukem Forever.

Never been so excited over a PC game before, can't wait for this one. At long last.

 

[CockroachMan]

Finally!

Time to upgrade my PC!

 

[MC DUI]

The PC version should be great from the earlier previews I have read. Bet my PC will need to be upgraded to play it though.

Don't really have high hopes for the DS version though.

Not only does it have a date, the first DS screens have surfaced.

Wow... the screens kinda look like... Animal Crossing... and like Viva Pinata as well

 

[PBC]

Nice screens! Too bad this game is so far out still. /waiting

 

[Rayder]

See how it is.....Spore has a date, but I don't.

 

[lastdual]

Interesting screens. I wonder how the DS will handle the huge scope of this game, with the RTS elements, space exploration and all. It just seems like a whole lot to pack in to a portable.

 

[asuri]

i totally forgot about that. september awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
the last screenshot looks so fun. well i hope its worth the wait

 

[VVoltz]

Look forward to not playing it!.

 

[Hadrian]

The DS screens will do for me! Would be nice if it linked up with the Wii version in some way.

Should have wi-fi as one of the producers said:

“DS players will be able to share stuff with DS players via local network and Wi-Fi.”

Here are some excerpts from 1Up's preview of the game:

"...Spore Creatures, as the name makes clear, focuses entirely on the PC version's 'creature phase'...Oh yeah, there's a story, too, which goes something like this: You and your good pal Oogie are two primordial creatures who, at the game's start, climb out of the ooze for the first time -- only to have your friend abducted by a spaceship. You must follow the debris that the spaceship keeps dropping, over 12 different levels and six planets, in order to rescue your friend. That's the plot, but one of the cool things about Spore Creatures is that it's up to you whether to follow it or not. You can choose instead to do side quests, do mini-games to unlock skills, collect the 280 or so different parts, or work on earning the game's 60 badges, which you can use to do such things as buy body parts you don't feel like hunting down, or unlock cheat codes. Do we want this? Maybe not as much as the PC game. But it's Spore for the road. So, yeah. We played. We liked. We want."

I got really impressed with it.. I wasn't expecting the game to give you this much freedom to create things..

 

[T!b0]

Anyone knows if it's going to be released on any of the home consoles?


Like... dunno.... The Wii?


Yeah I'm probably hoping too much but it would be awesome

 

[CockroachMan]

Wii, PS3 and 360 versions are confirmed.. but none have a release date yet..

This game is perfect for the Wii, the controls would work better then on any other console and graphics are nothing that the Wii can't take.. also, the game's philosophy fits well on the Wii!
