Spore is going on every current platform. It's going to be crap.

What, uh, gives you that impression? Because it clearly isn't Wil Wright's previous work.

And yes, I fully expect this game to land on the PS360 at some point in time, but I also expect the PCWiiDS to get the game first.


1) I do not like the Sims and that's an understatement.

2) For the sheer amount of time the development cycle of this game has taken, I can't help but think it's a cashin to make up for consistent screw ups and losses taken throughout the process.

3) It's going on every platform. That irrationally also screams cashin to me.


1) Fair enough, everyone has their opinions of The Sims, but what about this is even remotely related to it? Nothing in this game is at all alike the Sims.

2) This makes no sense. You are saying that because it's been in development for years, it's a cash-in? Starcraft 2 has been in development for 5 years according to Blizzard. Is it now a cheap cash-in? In other news, I have $1 million, because I'm broke.

3) How is that irrational? Or a better question: How does that make a game inherintly bad? Lots of great games last generation were on all platforms.


1) Will Wright.

2) Consider all the things that make a development cycle longer. Consider how the majority of those things are negative. This is a game that was really hyped some time ago. It had articles in a lot of magazines and the like. People were excited. Then it dropped off the face of the earth. Now maybe they've spent that time making this game so amazingly brilliant and so amazingly efficiently programmed that you could run it on an electrified potato... or maybe they spent all that time hitting snags, walls, restarting, throwing out useless code, going back to the drawing board with new ideas...etc.

You may look forward to playing Spore on an electrified potato, but I'll wait for reality to nip this rumor in the spud (woo pun!).

3) Lots of crappy games were released on all platforms too. Your point? I don't really have more than simple intuition behind that statement so I qualified it with "irrationally."
