Spore out on 9/7

Spore now has an official release date: September 7, 2008. I’m guessing this will be Mac/PC only for launch, with consoles to come. Previously: EA confirms that Spore will be on the Mac, and much, much more.

Update: more info, via Ars Technica. N’Gai Croal has an interview with Will Wright, confirming that there will be versions for Mac, Windows, DS, and cell phones, and also an interview with producer Lucy Bradshaw.

Spore on Mac and PCs

Kotaku reports that Spore will be released for the Mac this year as well as for the PC. I think it’d make a fine Wii game, too.

“Delayed indefinitely.” I wonder if the demos were more mock-ups than they appeared? It seemed like they had so much working a year ago. Maybe they built the whole engine and the game wasn’t any fun, just the technology?

Cool writeup of a demo of Spore, a new game from Sim City creator Will Wright that lets you play God. You start creating microbes that eventually evolve, at your bidding, into space-faring cultures that can teraform others worlds. Seems really cool.
