Watching that thing walk made me laugh really hard.

Robbin Williams never shuts up and is slightly annoying... and that is why I love him.

Robin Williams is the best part of that video. I will probably end up making some ridiculous creature like that and not stop thinking of all the stuff he said.

I really don't care about the other portions of the game, although I will probably get sucked into it. I just can't wait until I unlock the editor and just fuck around.

Why should it be? PC is still one of the most accessable platforms out there, and it needs it's own games.

Although I wouldn't be suprised to see a port later on down the line.

Yesterday GameSpy had a breakfast chat with Will Wright who had some interesting things to say. Below are a few parts of the article, click here to view the whole thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As E3 2006 gets underway, here is what Will Wright has to say for himself.

WW: We're saying that Spore is coming out in 2007. The message that we are getting from [Electronic Arts] corporate is "Don't screw it up," which is great. What they mean is, "Lets get it right." This will be the game's last E3.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GameSpy: So it will come out in the first quarter of 2007?

WW: Probably just after that, though we are not being precise. What we are saying is just outside the fiscal year, which is March.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GameSpy: So April or early May?

WW: Yeah. Right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GameSpy: So what are the odds of two people getting the exact same evolved creature without copying each other?

WW: Extremely low. Extremely low.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GameSpy: Still PC only?

WW: Well, actually we are going to go on all platforms, but we will come out on PC first. We will even come out on cell phones and stuff. One of the things in the game is that as you go around and encounter things… creatures and plants, or whatever, you make trading cards of each thing. That is the metaphor for the database -- trading cards. So you can collect your cards. You can print them out. You can now play your own card game. That might be like the cell phone part. That stuff is so light. It's more about collectability as opposed to interaction. Every creature in the PC game is three or four megabytes. But the cards, that is the database that the player is building.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GameSpy: How big is the Spore team?

WW: Our maximum team size is about 70 people, which is very small by today's standards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To view the full article head on over to GameSpy *the above text is from GameSpy.com (The site itself is sporesite.com)



...Personally, I'm glad for it. I hate it when a game is PC only, since I hate PC gaming. Just seems like too much red tape to me to play a game on PC, and nine times out of ten, the PC gets something really killer like this.

With the new technology of the next-gen consoles, maybe console gamers will get a FULL version, and not a watered down version, like in the case of The Sims.

Yeah, there was nothing in the demos I saw that couldn't be done on a Wii,PS3 or Xbox360.
I can't stand PC only games either, I had the sims and B&W for the PC and it was too much hassle. "You must have this processor and these megabytes to run this game"

Its easily doable to get the FULL version on consoles but I think companys think consoles gamers only like things with missions and stories. I was very annoyed when I bought Sims 2 for Ps2 and it wasn't the same as the PC one. Hope Spore is exactly like the PC version.

Pretty sure Dynasty Warriors on the Ps2 showed you can have expantion packs.

40 mins long. Its a demo of what you do in the game, then its the Robin Williams thing then theres a very short talk with Will Wright and Robin Williams afterwards.

Same here but only if the console versions are exactly like the PC version. Nothing taken away like they did with the Sims. They don't really have an excuse since the next generation Consoles (Ps3,Wii,Xbox360) are probably capable of handling the game.
