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.

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...
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.....
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
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.
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.
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. http://fun.ea.com/cgi-bin24/DM/y/miei0IUXmY0EVQ0BlNw0FE
EDIT: don't bother with the video. Read my post below for explanation.

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?
