Spore Release Date Announced

Post by Rkolter »

I thought this was worthy of note - EA Games has sent out their first ever Spore Newsletter (been on that damn thing for 2 years and they finally used it). They have given an official release date:

September 7, 2008

I'm all giggly with anticipation! I'm scheduling vacation time around this release date.

I'm surprised it took you this long to post about this.

I wouldn't get too excited about it. Remember, they set a release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, too.

Yeah, this was the talk of the office today. People were really excited by the videos and hands-on reviews on the internets.

I'm currently working on a game that combines the elements of Spore and Force Unleashed. I'm not sure what to call it though, every combination of "Spore" and "Force Unleashed" I can think of sounds like a hardcore porno.

I hate EA, but I am really excited about Spore and what it could be like.

Wouldn't surprise me if the date changed again, though.

They have never given us an actual release date before. They've said "Fall of 2006" and "Spring of 2007" and the like, but they've never nailed down a month and day.

I suspect they'll keep the release date.

I haven’t been this obsessed over a video game in a long time. So I’m having a hard time waiting for it.

Hopefully my computer isn't too decrepit to play it by the time it comes out!

Once Brawl comes out it'll be an easy wait to September. But right now it's SOO HAARDD!!!

I've played halfway through the japanese version, he says "I'M ALRIGHT!" a lot. Wonder if that quirk is getting translated...
