Spore...continued
Upon recent receipt of queries and probes regarding Spore, I have elected to post a few sites and articles for anyone who seeks to know more.
1. Interview with Will Wright on Spore and Consoles
2. An estimate for the requirements are:
Intel Pentium 4 2GHz
512 Mb ram
Geforce 4 and up
ATI X300
The preferred CPU specifications (relating to number of cores, or 32/64 bit) is not yet known. It is speculated that the requirements will similar to the requirements of The Sims 2.
3. Sorry, no official word about Spore on the Mac. But I was able to track down a Petition to bring it to the Mac. If it is any indication, from what I have read, Will Wright wants anyone and everyone to be able to take part in this massive undertaking. It seems logical to assume he will include Mac users. The release for PC is likely to be sometime in March 2007. Originally it was slated for fall 06 but looking at EA's financial report, with other projects being pushed back like Superman Returns and Medal of Honor: Airborne, it is likely Spore will take a back burner as well. The Reasons? Well since EA announced a drop in profits...they are hoping to curve losses by slowing down development of their games and releasing them at a financially critical time. Slowing down development makes it cheaper to develop with less work at once, and they can release such obvious gems at their convenience to level out their yearly profits.
So there is some more Info I have dug up, anyone else have any info feel free to add, and while I try my best to be factual, some info may be a bit..off I am only a Semi-God after all. LMAOROFLTID!
