Two pieces of Spore news in one week! I have a bad feeling about this.

Does anyone even care about this game? It looks rather boring.

The ultimate lesson in all of this: Do not announce your game until it is DONE. I am sure Spore will be the bee's knees and all but I am sick of waiting. Three damn years, y'all.

yea these developers should really wait a little longer in the dev process before they announce these games. that way they can avoid all the delays and disappointment they seem so keen on dishing out. i could see maybe around a year before completion but damn how long has this game been announced now?
but at the same time, i guess have to start the hype train early. either way, i have lost interest in waiting, somebody just let me know when it gets here.

Too be honest, I'm okay with the delays. I mean, fuck, I've been waiting for years to and I am extremely bummed about the water stage being cut, but this is a huge game. A huge game that will be sure to have a lot of bugs.
A bug can pretty rape and murder this game, so I am hoping they go for a prolonged testing time rather than making the customer be the beta tester (see recent Sims 2 installments).

Bummer, I wasn't aware the water stage had been cut.

Madden 2010 released in 2013 would probably be a pretty solid game. hell id buy it, just give me a roster update. they could make create-a-players for the players drafted during that time. itd be better than the mess they have been putting out in recent years. exclusivity has something to do with too though since monopolies are never any good.

As long as the game comes with little to no problems, then I'll be happy. But, like many of you, I've been waiting too goddamn long for this game. T_T

Riiight.
And when Spore actually appears on shelves, it will also be the second coming of Jesus. Fernando will own a PS3 and love it. And joystiq will finally rule the world.

You can delay Spore another few months. That's fine. Just don't start hyping us up again only to see another delay.

The spore I once thought was cool has changed so much. Who knows what it'll be by the time it's released.

Damn, I'm disappointed to hear that. If spore is realeased end of year '08 along with SC2, it'll be tough to decide where my attention should lie. Was really hoping this game would come out during the Spring so I could dedicate some time to it.

Uhh! I have to wait even longer to make my abominations to God? Hurry up, EA. I got moose-eagles to mock as they try to figure out how to poop.

I've actually forgotten about this game what with all the new games coming out. Holy crap am I pumped for this game now.

amazon still has Spore listed as a May 1st release date.

The wait has been too long now. Let's just hope that this won't be
another "Black & White".
I also don't like the "cartoony" feel they gave it, and strongly
prefer the graphics from the GDC '05 video (with the little swimmy
platypus that later evolve into the Willosaurus). They can at least
make the creature editor available for download - if the game is
"near completion", then surely the editor is as well.

Well, whatever, as long as it's good when it's released. Any news, though, if this refers to the Wii version or the PC version or both?
