Realy looking forward to this game and to be honest, i forgot all about it until I read this. Anyone who doesnt know what spore. I suggest you go check their website and search for videos on youtube is it looks amazing and is such a good idea and will be big and addictive.

Although my previous comment still holds, thinking about it some more... this is another one of those games I am quite happy waiting for. I say, take your time Mr Wright.

riggs · 9th May 2007, 12:48

If it's gonna be good, I don't mind waiting tbh - there's plenty of other (non gaming) stuff I can be doing in the meantime...

DarkLord7854 · 9th May 2007, 12:55

Wonder what they're delaying next O.o

1e8o · 9th May 2007, 12:56

Bummer, this is the next "game of the year"

CardJoe · 9th May 2007, 13:08

More like the next game of next year

Mankz · 9th May 2007, 13:27

oh. poo. Please don't do a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on our asses.

CardJoe · 9th May 2007, 13:32

STALKER was a poo, a poo viciously rubbed in our faces. It was an OK game at best, but the ending...

The ending made me lose all faith in computer games from Russia.

aggies11 · 9th May 2007, 16:25

People "in the know" were saying that an '07 release date was way too optimistic for this game in the first place, so I'm not surprised by this.

A game should take as much time as it needs to be created. What I do object to is the games industry seeming inability to predict release dates with any accuracy. Almost every game now a days gets "delayed". Is it just poor planning on management's part, or are the people making it slacking off? Either way, it's kinda silly and should stop.

Yeah well DNF is never going to be released its not, its just not... its dead... good bye Duke...

But Spore, it should of been easier to make because it was procedurally generated... look like all they can do is procedurally generate release dates...

What exactly was wrong with the the ending in your opinion... was it the multiple endings that were pessimistic or the game play?

Solidus · 9th May 2007, 21:33

they probably want to rework a major feature of the game - im hoping its to allow simultaneous multiplayer action or something.
