Spore site updated, and official specs!

[staticprimer]

You look like a Pokemon.


Anyway, I wouldn't mind dropping $10 on the full featured creature creator.

 

[Alterego-X]

They all look like Pokemon.

 

[Lucid]

Hm, I'm totally going to make a creature that looks like a marijuana leaf.

 

[Druckles]

What're the odds that it gets released on Steam.

 

[Lucid]

What're the odds that it gets released on Steam.

EA owns Maxis, so close to none.
Considering EA has their own Steam like download service.

 

[Druckles]

It wasn't really a question, more of a general hope. I'd buy the creature creator if it were released on Steam.

 

[Lucid]

It'll be available as a direct download.

 

[Druckles]

There are other advantages to Steam other than downloading it.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I bought it from the EA Store, but I decided on the physical copy. I just don't like EA's downloading service.

If it was on Steam on the other hand...

Preorder the CC and get a $5 rebate for Spore: http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-15864-Creature-Creator/dp/B0017KWJ56

Anyone know other sites that are doing a discount on Spore if you buy the creature creator? (I heard target.com was but can't find anything confirming it.)

 

[Qhartb]

I'm surprised how... normal the requirements look. I'd have expected higher memory usage (though I still expect more memory will be better.

Also, with everything procedural, I really wonder what they use those 6 GB for. An art team for a traditional game could fill that up easily. If really basing everything on procedural techniques, filling that much is a feat. Maybe it uses that much diskspace as a cache to keep startup and load times reasonable.

 

[Raziaar]

Why the **** is there an Extended Download Service thing that costs more money? Companies should do that shit for ****ing free, like Valve does with Steam.

 

[Gargantou]

Because EA = Evil Assholes, they're greedy bastards, simple as.

 

[Druckles]

Wait, they charge for their download service?

Well fuck them, then! I think I'll purchase from the store, just to spite them.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Its begun.

Not the same creature, but maxis set up a youtube account where all the creature creations end up. They're all pretty much awesome.

 

[Lucid]

Damn it, I want to play with this so badly.

 

[Nibwoddle]

*head explodes*

 

[Gargantou]

I lol'd!

I'm so gonna make a creature that looks like a T-72!

 

[Nabobalis]

T-34 would be an awesome creature

 

[Nibwoddle]

Looking at the Sporepedia, it seems others who aren't Maxis (a few of which are noobs) have gotten hold of the creator now. I wonder how? Also, they really should have some of the creatures that Will Wright made in the demo vids.

 

[Druckles]

I noticed people from EA got their hands on it. Or they could be playtesters or something...

 

[Alterego-X]

Wow, there are more than 360 creatures in the Sporepedia!

[Operational]

^ and yet they are still missing a boob monster.

 

[Nibwoddle]

You have the option to block certain creatures from being in your game. Awesome, now I won't have to put up with any of you guys's pornographic immaturity.

 

[nurizeko]

Sounds good save the 6 gigs, means one or two of my games are going to have to get deleted off my HD, and I hate un-installing games, even if I don't play them, because it leaves me stranded if I suddenly get the urge to play sometime down the line and it isn't there.

Dude it's all natural and good!

I remember seeing the dong monster some where I'll have to find it for you

 

[Lucid]

Man, even with a job and everything, this week is going by so slow because I'm psyched to be able to play around with the damn creature editor.

DAMN YOU MAXIS AND YOUR WONDERFULLY PERSUASIVE TRAILERS AND STUFF!

Haven't been this pumped since I saw the E3 Half-Life 2 gravity gun test thing.

 

[Gargantou]

Yeah I know how you feel xlucidx!

I got four games coming out before the end of this month and the waiting is unbearable.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

This game is going to be so awesome.

 

[Alterego-X]

 

[Lucid]

Reason for buying the game?

This, so very this.

 

[Gargantou]

Rotfl!!

 

[Jintor]

Looks like it's all over the interwebs. If you know where to look...

 

[kineaesth]

Pirates are evil.

 

[Gargantou]

It's not piracy, the only version I've been able to find is fully legal.

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4238412/Spore_creature_editor_trial

It's a demo released early to a magazine then uploaded to the web, not illegal, not warez.

It IS legit, I have it installed right now, so buying the full version on the 17th!!

 

[Raziaar]

That's not mine. Just found it on the sporepedia.

Anyways, I have the trial version, but I really don't want to play it until I get the full version because 75% of the content missing just sucks! So many question marks showing me what I can't do.

 

[Jintor]

I made a Penguin-like creature. With spikes. Everywhere.

I saw a Easter Island head creature somewhere...

 

[Gargantou]

http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=srch-Gargantou:sast-500000025376

My first creature, goddamnit I want more stuff!

 

[Raziaar]

So are we allowed to register with the trial version, and not get punished?
