Word has it Spore Will Wrightfully be ready in Six Months

Posted by tifutu

Good news to all you Sims (or just Spore) fans, according to Will Wright – the highly acclaimed creator of the Sims games, Spore should be ready to hit the retail shelves in about 6 months.

“Spore’s an ambitious game - which he admits - that’s essentially a life sim. Players start off as a single-cell organism and then create their species at every stage of its evolution - from its first steps on land through to tribes then a culture and then finally it’s off to explore the galaxy. ‘We’ve had to do a lot of testing to make sure that the game is accessible by a wide group of people’, Wright went on to explain. ‘I want the people who have played The Sims to be able to play Spore - I don’t want it to be something just hardcore gamers play.’”

If any of you out there have any sense at all you’ll keep this one away from your girlfriends/wives/daughters ‘cos if the Sims franchise is anything to go by, EA… need I say more!? – For the record I didn’t say that.

Just a bit of news one the side, Spore will be coming out first on the PC, but EA plans on making this an entirely new, cross platform franchise(any surprises here?). But that all console fans out there - Wii included, will have to wait a bit longer for this

Anyways, keep your eyes and ears pealed for this one, click here for some screens and follow on for some footage.
