Forums - PC - Spore - Are you buying?!

yea ill get it for either the pc or wii but i havent decided yet



Around the Network

Yeah is very likely...



By me:

Made with Blender + LuxRender
"Since you can´t understand ... there is no point to taking you seriously."

I think I'm not buying anything using SecuROM so I guess I'm not buying Spore either. Even if it didn't have SecuROM, it'd take a lot for me to buy the game because it's EA and we don't know how the gameplay works yet. It's a promising title though.



I'll buy it when I get a new graphics card.



My comp cant run it..so I can't T_T



Former something....

you can run Spore on integrated GPUs, so you probably don't really need a new graphics card to play it.

 



well that yougamers.com thing says my computer could run it, but I'm not really sure how well. Considering that I had to turn the graphics down even to use the creature creator I'm unsure of it's ability to play the full game well.



...

I will say this even though it pains me to admit that I rely on other people's opinions: It will depend on the reviews. Stellar reviews, I will get it sooner or later. Dissapointed reviews, I will stay away.



This is invisible text!

Every time I think about all the games coming in September, my wallet cries. Then I remember all the games I haven't managed to get yet, and my wallet crawls closer to the edge of my apartments roof, ready to jump...

In other words, yes, I will get it. Probably day 1.



By the way, the system requirements are:

* FOR WINDOWS XP * 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* * 512 MB RAM
* * A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* * At least 6 GB of hard drive space

* FOR WINDOWS VISTA * 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* * 768 MB RAM
* * A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* * At least 6 GB of hard drive space

# For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: * Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
# * 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
# * 768 MB RAM

Supported Video Cards

* ATI Radeon(TM) series 9500, 9600, 9800
* X300, X600, X700, X800, X850
* X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950
* 2400, 2600, 2900,
* 3650, 3850

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML, and GMS, will not perform adequately.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn?t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
