Kolzig Posted June 20, 2007 Fuuuckkk. Fortunately I've got only +100 good/shitty games to play while waiting for Spore's arrival. So maybe I'll survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOPcagney Posted June 20, 2007 There was a time when I was anxiously awaiting Spore. I couldn't sit still because I just wanted to play Spore all the time. And then it was delayed until 2007, and then 2008, and now late 2008, and I just feel like, if they've completed as much of the game as we've seen so far in the many game play demos that have been released and there's still that much work to be done, there's some essential element of the game that just doesn't work, and we're all going to be disappointed or disinterested when it's finally released. I hope I'm wrong really, but I can't help feeling like something's gone wrong and they're just not telling us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oath Posted June 20, 2007 I hope I'm wrong really, but I can't help feeling like something's gone wrong and they're just not telling us. I essentially feel the same but hold out hope that they're just working on perfecting it and perhaps filling in the bits that Wright has skipped over in all the demos. The "now-I'll-cheat-to-get-to-the-UFO bits" as I prefer to call them. Also, a spark of inspiration struck me (it hurt): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted June 20, 2007 From what I heard they decided the game was too sandboxy by itself, so the delays may well be caused by the implentation of a more narrative driven campaign mode. I salute you sir edit: Hmm Rado, I see it more like a firebreathing chinese dragon, but instead of fire it is breathing thumbs and instead of a dragon it is a serpentine farting pacman. Profound.

elmuerte Posted June 21, 2007 From what I heard they decided the game was too sandboxy by itself, so the delays may well be caused by the implentation of a more narrative driven campaign mode. err... right... so they decided that the thing they were hyping wasn't going to result in a good game?

DanJW Posted June 21, 2007 Could be, but I can't remember the source so it's possible I dreamed this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted June 21, 2007 Also, a spark of inspiration struck me (it hurt): Hahahahaha, superb. :tup: Also, did they actually hype Spore or was it just the community going crazy over their demonstrations (which I don't think can be counted as hype)? I sincerely can't remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted June 21, 2007 Also, a spark of inspiration struck me (it hurt): Please make this an official smiley soon. It's not like it's any bigger than or anything. And yeah, I can't recall much about Spore that didn't come from those presentations, but the way they were showing it off felt like a calculated move to give people no option but to go crazy with hype. A good job on their part, really, but in light of the delays could end up hurting them more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
