Does it not come out on nextgen consoles?

I thought it did.

Godlesswanderer 03-15-2006 08:50 PM

There's supposed to be an Xbox 360 version in development but that's just a rumour so far.

Also there's going to be a version on one of the handheld consoles. As you can see here in a job listing...

i cant wait is there a demo out its out this february

Daxter King 01-12-2007 03:49 PM

.......Why did you just bump an almost year old thread?

I'm hoping for a 360 version so I can have all its glory, not a half assed handheld attempt.

Bullet Magnet 01-12-2007 07:42 PM

There's a fresher thread here, but even that's old.

Spore won't be out until after summer at the earliest.

Strike Witch 01-13-2007 03:36 AM

Spore is awesome...and its supposedly memory-light.

Nate 01-13-2007 04:56 PM

The impression I got was that it was hard-drive and bandwidth light. Considering the amount of processing that would be needed to drive these characters, not to mention the size of the world, I doubt it would be memory light.

Bullet Magnet 01-13-2007 06:37 PM

The supercompression rate rocks! Mostly the specs should be modest, though memory may well be heavy, and a good processor will improve things. As for the graphics... whichever card you can afford, though don't expect to form giant herds of great, shaggy, hairy creatures without a good one. That much hair on that many limbs...

Strike Witch 01-13-2007 07:50 PM

There have been no pictures of Hairy creatures yet :p

Daxter King 01-13-2007 08:28 PM

Now I'm not calling it ugly by any standards, but it doesn't look as high end as other PC games, like B&W2. Maybe because they want it available to more PC players. But it could be done on the 360.....

Strike Witch 01-13-2007 10:37 PM

Uh...dude. Its one of the better-looking games around. And it ain't finished. :p

Its more fun that pretty, which is good.

Daxter King 01-14-2007 10:19 AM

Um, look at B&W2 even on my friends comp on the lower spec levels it looks better. Then again, we haven't much seen alot of this game. But you're right it does ook better than some games

Bullet Magnet 01-14-2007 10:32 AM

Try this video. It's anything but low-end graphics.

Nate 01-15-2007 03:04 AM

Ooh, cute guy with impressive hair talking about health-care reform.

Nice.

WHAT!?

Bullet Magnet 01-15-2007 09:48 AM

Does it not work? It doesn't load for me anymore, but it used to be an excellent quality video depicting the latest Spore iteration, with Will Wright visiting and testing it for the Wall Street Journal.

Daxter King 01-15-2007 10:11 AM

Well, I cant look at videos yet. I gots the dial up. :(

All I have been able to see is TV videos and screens. Besdies the scope of the game and the models and movement, it doesn't look all that impressive from what I've sen.

Andrelvis 01-16-2007 11:42 AM

Truth be said, the graphics aren't impressive, but they aren't bad either. Anyway - I can barely wait to populate my worlds with Oddworld creatures!

Hobo 01-16-2007 01:06 PM

Games don't have to be beautiful to be good Daxter.

Bullet Magnet 01-16-2007 05:22 PM

But this one has outstanding graphics! I wish that video would work. You've never seen anything like it.

Daxter King 01-16-2007 07:32 PM

I'm not saying it wont be good or that the graphics are bad. I'm just saying that other games look better. Jeese.

Well, the only way I'll be able to play is if it is ported to consoles. :(

Nate 02-12-2008 12:09 PM

The release date was finally announced today: September 7th.

This is the announcement video. I haven't watched it yet because this computer is handicapable but I will post it and hope EA haven't put in any subliminal pornography.

EDIT: don't bother with the video. Read my post below for explanation.

dripik 02-12-2008 12:27 PM

For some reason, I can't see the video, but no matter. Great news, I've been looking forward to it since... How long has it been now? More than two years since the game has been announced?

Bullet Magnet 02-12-2008 02:08 PM

Just got the newsletter, and my otherwise quiet forum is lighting up like a light bulb.

It couldn't be at a worse time for me.

Nate 02-13-2008 04:45 AM

This is official: don't bother with the video. It's really just an announcement of the date. Nothing even about the game itself.

Bullet Magnet 02-13-2008 05:38 AM

The new stuff is here.

Nate 02-13-2008 06:18 AM

Great interview. Thanks.

And can you please stop being so helpful? It's not healthy for one man to have so much rep.

Laser 02-13-2008 08:50 AM

bah!

I'll be 16 when it comes out :(

Bullet Magnet 02-13-2008 04:06 PM

New pictures!
