Spore Galactic Adventures coming June 23rd, bringing gameplay

by Ben Gilbert { Mar 24th 2009 at 8:50PM }

Spore publisher EA has dropped a new trailer and a handful of new screens for the game's upcoming expansion, titled "Galactic Adventures," and with them, a release date finally. According to the EA press site (and confirmed by EA Maxis rep. Amanda Taggart), the gameplay-heavy DLC hits the cyber autobahn as well as brick-and-mortar stores on June 23rd, though the pricing is still "TBA."

The trailer above shows off a variety of new end-game content that, to be perfectly honest, looks to be a lot of fun. Commanding fleets of space-faring creatures across the galaxy, subjugating everyone along the way? Where do we sign up?! And remember, Spore Galactic Adventures is just the first of four Spore titles coming to various platforms (Wii/DS/PC/Mac) this year, so keep those pocketbooks open.

awesome, I might actually have a reason to play it now

I'd consider it, but they already got my $50 for less than 10 hours of gameplay. They can shove it.

It's getting the same media hype as pretty much every Sims expansion. If it's being advertised that heavily, it must be an underperformer.

Zac @ Mar 25th 2009 3:58AM

I'd say that would be because it's the same high-profile EA-owned developer. It's utterly foolish to link media hype to a game's quality.

If only Spore originally included gameplay... Sigh.

EDIT: Make another comment like this and you're banned.

Whatever...we're not allowed to express our opinions? To me that trailer looked lame as hell and I felt the need to convey that. If you need to ban people over that then so be it.

EDIT: I edited your comment and warned you based on the content of the comment, not for expressing your opinion. You're perfectly allowed to say, "This shit looks lame." I'm not going to ban anyone for their opinion, so chill out.

So I can say 'this shit looks lame', but can't say 'this trailer looks gay'?

Clearly my statement wasn't meant in the literal sense. If you took offense to that then that shit was lame.

EDIT: Correct. You cannot say "this trailer looks gay" unless you're referencing the trailer somehow looking literally homosexual. Are there men/women having sex with people of their gender in the trailer? Oh, right, no, you're using it in a derogatory/inflammatory/completely ignorant sense. So yeah, say it again and I'll ban you. Enough.

Can one of the expansions just make the entire game like the cell stage? That was the only fun part.

MrKlorox @ Mar 25th 2009 1:20AM

Might as well just play FLOW.

This is what Spore should have been in the first place.

I played the original Spore for about 80 hours. I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed it much more as a tool then a game. I do hope that they continue to release expansions that can add more depth and not "breathe" to the gameplay. The earlier stages really need to have that, such as the Tribal and Civilization stage.
