Spore has been delayed... indefinitely. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I hope some one gets a brick throught the window for thishttp://kotaku.com/gaming/pc/spore-slip-sliding-away-270324.phpSpore has been delayed... indefinitely. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Not something i didn't already expect. Not cool none the less
.Spore has been delayed... indefinitely. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
They better slap a new graphics engine on that sucker before it's eventual release or it's going to be seriously dated. It already looks dated today, so just imagine in 2 years time when Crysis and the like are out.And before you start with the ''graphics don't make gameplay!'' arguement, I never said it did. However with a game where the main attraction is being able to develop a creature+civilization with a lot of emphasis on the visual customization side of things, poor graphics is something that will hamper the experience.
end of 2008, still it will be groundbreaking gameplay wise unless another publisher has a sweat shop pc game team working on a similar game.
Brick to window dosen't cut it. I'm boycotting all EA games.

Actually i'm pretty tired of EA games. They are good but they fail to achieve greatness. The reason being is they are still pushing the developers too hard and rushing the games out. C and C 3 had poor multiplayer launch because it was rushed. The single player did not keep me for more than a week before I beat it.Plus the Kane edition was nothing compared to what people got over seas. They got tons of freebies with their collector's edition. We got a crummy poster and some dvd extras which were nice but not enough for 10$ more.Also the damned EA logo won't go away on ESC. That's just viral advertising at it's best. A few months ago I sold almost all my PC games and kept the best one's. Needless to say none of the EA game survived the liquidation. It's just a personal decision and truly has nothing to do with Spore.To conclude their games are good, but I want them to be great. C and C 3 was tons of fun but it was just missing that spark. The third race was so not done. The spark that is only achieved when people are enjoying making the game without being harassed by the publisher. I don't trust EA it's as simple as that. Blizzard on the other hand is a company you can trust. All their game servers are still online last time I checked. (Warcraft 2 and above apply) Did you know EA shut down some of their game servers so that people have to buy the new sport franchise version? That's just horrible.
this game was looking lamelike sim life - teh suckand sim ant - ummmm, ... yeaand sim tower - kinda funsim copter - teh fun ! :Psim farm - teh lameWill Wright was probly thinking, oh gosh this game is rubbish..we all saw the Spore Creature Editor in action, those poor creations looked like circus freaksHopefully he will take a new direction in the wild life area

It's some special level of ironic seeing a comment like this in a thread where people are complaining about EA letting Spore be delayed. :D



edit: and reading the article, this is STILL the same info from the conference call a month ago.. 'slipping out of fiscal 08 and into fiscal 09' means 'slipped just past march 2008.' fiscal year 09 ENDS in march 2009. my fall 08 guess is still on track!
Not good, but will give me time to get into this ''spore'' hype.
Pretty lame. Sounds like EA is trying to pull a Nintendo with their Uber Hype and Mega Delay of this title. There's a huge difference though .. Nintendo puts out good games.
[QUOTE=''kakarotxiv'']meh it sucks anyway. game everyone's waiting is crysis. join us[/QUOTE]its true.
I disagree -.-U Another s h i t t y FPS with revolutionary graphics that doesn't innovate in the genre itself. Meh, it isn't worth to buy.
Remember that Spore was never actually intended to be released as a playable game. It was created to test new technologies and Wright and company were influenced to make this into a new game. When I first read about it, I didn't really think the idea was so great but everyone talked about how revolutionary the game engine was. But in the end, the gameplay is what is important. It seems like the delay is to improve the gameplay. They may as well stop where they are and use the technology for an entirely new game they create instead of trying to make this game work.In reality, they should have been working on SimCity 5.

Didnt know you existed!But ya, when EA took over Westwood they killed everything but the C%26Cname. Most people dont realize that Westwood was multitalented; Bladerunner, Nox, Dune franchise (Emperor: Battle for Dune = underrated!), Lands of Lore, etc.You would think that these huge powerhouses like Microsoft and EA would make the best games due to their huge budget, but they dont. It really is disappointing.
How annoying, i hope they give the game a new graphics engine, otherwise the game is going to seriously dated.

It's more often linked to Microsoft rather than Bungie software (developer of some games for Mac and the excelent game Oni).[QUOTE=''123monkey'']How annoying, i hope they give the game a new graphics engine, otherwise the game is going to seriously dated.[/QUOTE]Hmmm should I say that beauty isn't the only thing in this world?
