I just received a notice in my inbox that Spore is coming! It is scheduled to be released September 7, 2008. I have been waiting so long…
The actual release video is a big disappointment, showing little of the ingenuity or creative flair that the game promises. This screenshot shows the cartoony style that the game will have and there is a great teaser video here.
I have been following the development of this game ever since I saw the presentation done by Will Wright, the chief designer and inventor of the Sims. Spore is described as “a highly personalized, humorous kind of play.”
You can see the brilliant TED talk here. enjoy!
