Will Wright: Spore "roughly" six months away

PC News from N4G | Spore

Spore will release in roughly six months time, according to its creator Will "The Sims" Wright.

"We have the game fully playable at this point and it's in final testing", Wright said yesterday in an interview with Radio 5 Live.

Spore's an ambitious game, which he admits, that's essentially a life sim. Players start off as a single-cell organism and then create their species at every stage of its evolution - from its first steps on land through to tribes then a culture and then finally it's off to explore the galaxy.

Spore playable at Leipzig

PC News from N4G | Spore

When Electronic Arts held its press conference at this year's E3 in Santa Monica, one title was notably absent -- Will Wright's Spore.

It is currently down for a 2008 release, although EA CEO John Riccitiello recently said that, "its release will be right up [to] the bubble in Q4 [of fiscal '08], if not sometime in early fiscal '09, so we don't feel comfortable in forecasting it."

A slate of EA's titles at the Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig shows Spore will be playable by journalists at the event, the first time that it has been.

Spore will ship when it's done, says EA

PC News | Spore

Publisher EA reaffirmed that it will be releasing Will Wright's Spore sometime in the early fiscal 2009 timeframe (EA's fiscal 2009 runs from April 2008 through March 2009), but added that the game won't release before it's absolutely finished. CEO John Riccitiello said (or perhaps bragged?) during a conference call Wednesday that both him and EA Games president Frank Gibeau are both playing Will Wright's hotly anticipated Spore and are "enjoying it a great deal." "It's one of those ... » Read More

It's one of the most anticipated games of today, and any word of further delay for Will Wright's Spore is sure to make headlines.
But reports making rounds today are basically old news being made into "new" news, EA said.

Expect Spore in 2008, says EA

PC News | Spore

For a project as mind-bogglingly ambitious as Will Wright's Spore, the occasional delay is expected. But according to an Associated Press report this morning, the wait for the organism sim will probably end up stretching into next year. In the report, EA warns that it expects Spore may miss the fiscal 2008 calendar year which ends in March 2008. Although no official release date has ever been set for the game, many will be getting slightly itchy at the thought of having to wait another entire ... » Read More

No Spore In 2007?

PC News from N4G | Spore

During Electronic Arts' financial conference call today, company execs stated that they will not be including the highly anticipated PC game Spore in their 2008 fiscal year plans. That means that EA is not currently planning on the game to be released between now and the end of the 2008 fiscal year which ends on March 31, 2008.

Spore, the evolution sim from Sims creator Will Wright, previously had a vague timetable for release for the second half of the 2007 calendar year. Update During the conference call's Q&A session EA execs refined Spore's current release date plans saying that the game is "right on the bubble with Q4, if not for Q1 in fiscal 09."

Will Wright: 'Toys Can Change the World'

PC News from N4G | Spore

PC - Spore - Will Wright: 'Toys Can Change the World'

Is there anything Spore won't be capable of doing? That claim was no different than when Will Wright shared the stage with LOST creator J.J. Abrams, former eBay president Jeff Skoll and war documentarian Deborah Scranton at the annual Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in California (thanks C|Net, via Wonderland).
Wright hopes Spore will actually help educate kids on important issues, such as the effects of releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Spore players can start dumping CO2 into the atmosphere with the touch of a button, the problem being that their planet will burst into flames and become uninhabitable within minutes.

"By giving kids toys like this, I hope to give them some sense of what it might be like to (live on Earth) in 100 years," said Wright. "That's why I think toys can change the world."

GDC 07: Creating Spore

PC News from N4G | Spore

Though returning attendees might have been disappointed at the lack of any additional gameplay footage, Spore design lead Chaim Gingold's session titled "Spore's Magic Crayons" nonetheless proved to be an entertaining presentation, elaborating on some of the toy analogies Wright had presented previously by describing in detail the design challenges of the creature, building, vehicle, and planet editors. The session reinforced the notion that Spore is fundamentally about a return to the basics of game design; a turning away from the question of "Will this sell?" to the questions of "What do people love to do?" and "How do we help them create?"

EA quarantines Spore on PC

PC News | Spore

Tuesday 12 September 2006 EA has gone on record to say that life-the-universe-and-everything sim Spore is currently a PC-centric project - prompted by growing Wii-mania around creator Will Wright's earlier enthusing that the game would see a multiformat release. "Though we're investigating the possibilities of bringing the franchise to other platforms in the future, any announcements or confirmations for Wii or any other platform would be premature," declared publisher EA. Still, that's more ... » Read More

Spore's facts of life

PC News | Spore

Founding an interstellar culture is all well and good, but you've got to start out personal - something that these screens of Spore, Will Wright's PC everything-and-the-kitchen-sink sim, show off. It's like a nature documentary... in space. After hauling itself out of the primeval soup, your creature needs to find food and mates, with the latter achieved by giving off a mating call to attract any willing same-celled lifeforms. (There's no distinction between male and female creatures, which, ... » Read More

Will Wright says Spore is coming to consoles

PC - Spore - Will Wright says Spore is coming to consoles

After EA previously planned for Spore to go from PC to handhelds. In an interview this week The Sims & Spore creator Will Wright says they are looking to release Spore on all the platforms.

Will Wright said: "You might be playing part of the game on a handheld platform, you might be playing the entire game but maybe more avatar-based on a console. The consoles are getting kind of different now, I think there's a really interesting distinction between the Wii and the Xbox 360 and PS3. Something like the Wii offers a lot of interesting creative opportunities for the editors, with the controller."
