Yeah, Im calling your bluff Shio, sounds like you simply dont like the Wii.

The editor alone seems like $10 worth of fun, so I'll be purchasing it.

I seriously doubt the Wii version will be near the quality or flexibility of the PC version.

If your computer is around 5 years old or newer, the game will be better on PC.

Whoever made that hand-turkey is a GENIUS! That is hands down my favorite creature so far.

Not even going to Argue Ben, because you used the vaugest possible defending point and I can't figure out what to argue, all I know is from what you said is:

'The PC version will have quality and the Wii version will not have the same quality.'

All I can say to that is wow.

Well obviously from a graphics point of view and having a keyboard point of view.

However the core game isn't going to be any different so it's not like it's a spinoff. Which is what Shio was saying.

It's going to be the same game, it's just not going to look as nice or control as well.

Just like say COD4.

Well that and presumibly the game will be less diverse since it's unlikely it will link up with the computer database and instead will only be linked up to the Wii online database.

Which really is what surprises me about it being on the wii in the first place. It kinda bypasses all those child friendly internet locks Nintendo put in.

Either way however you will be getting the same core expierence.

Unlike Spore DS which more looks like a pokemonesque game.  Or possibly E.V.O.  Which if so... awesome as E.V.O. was an amazing game.

I'll buy every version except mobile :P when I get my wii, that is. but the DS and the PC ones are already confirmed form. and as I said in the other topic, I'll buy the Creature Creator too. I'll even sell my soul to EA.

and N'gai Croal QA with Will Wright hyped me up even more, if that's possible. ( http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/02/12/exclusive-will-wright-on-why-spore-is-taking-so-long-and-much-more-part-i.aspx )

More than likely Spore Wii will have missing several features from the PC version. What I think Will Wright will do is provide uniqure features to the Wii version, as he himself hinted.

And those screens are from the PC version.

I have a Wii, only console I played recently. But I am a big PC gamer, and looking at Will Wright's past games, The Sims and Simcity were severely dumbed-down for consoles.

Did you ever read the system requirements for Spore?

What's that no... ok then here they are:

Windows XP/Vista
Processor 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
RAM XP: 512 MB / Vista: 768 MB
Graphics card 128 MB with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
Hard disk drive space At least 6 GB

When using a PC with an on-board (aka built-in or "shared") graphics chipset, the specs bump up to:

* Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
* 768 MB RAM

-------------
Translation: Minimum System requirements using those OS's will be around:

1.5 Ghrz proccessor. (BTW this is PC Wii uses PowerPC architecture, also spore uses Vodoo I believe.)

512 RAM to run it smoothly 256 will run it well. (Note that Ps3 only has 256 ram allocated to gaming. This is where recoding to use drm comes in *remember me mentioning that?*)

128mb is nice for GPU req, but Wii's GPU clocks at 243 MHz pwnd much?
You can thank our friends at homebrew for that - but nintendo may have ways of using this tech to make it much more effective that 243 or at least run more effectively. Let's not forget the eDRAM which is the deal maker for most if not all video games now-a-days. I mean journalists seem to be catching wind of this just today, I saw before at n4g a article about this subject and the PS3.

I should go on more but I'll stop here for a bit to note that this is Spore not Crysis.

Sadly it's not known how many shaded pixels can be pumped out, but if Mario Galaxy can be put out there at 60fps without the Wii breaking a sweat I don't see why Fatal Frame IV would be any different, and we all know that looks better than Spore, but Spore has more details on the screen you argue, I say good point, and lean back towards Mario Galaxy, there are enough pics of lava and metal luster and mario and stars falling and so on and so forth on these boards, so I won't even look for it.


Lastly: Let's just wait and see, my point isn't if this will a spinoff - it's how the hell would you know.

 Yeah, because that's exactly what I said...

I'm merely stating my opinion, I'm not bashing the Wii, I could be equally bashing the 360 or PS3 as well, for different reasons.

I'm not saying the Wii isn't capable of running damn near the same Spore as the PC version, I'm just guessing that it won't.  I'm guessing they won't completely utilize what the Wii has to offer, and that there will be portions from the PC Spore missing in the Wii version.  I think the Wii's online system will prevent a massive catalog of user-created animals, I think the limited graphics capabilities will make the game look considerably less pretty than the PC version, and it's possible you won't be able to create or do as much, due to the limited storage capabilities of the Wii.

I'm not saying it'll be a bomb or even that bad...all I said was "I seriously doubt the Wii version will be near the quality or flexibility of the PC version."

You can misquote me all day long...I'm not trying to troll against the Wii, I just think we should be realistic.  Or would we rather just do what we always do and take bets on what the finished product will be like?
