Bleeding heck. Well I wasn't exactly holding out for this, so I'll just look for it when it comes - I'd rather it was amazing than something rushed and didn't quite get there.
Aww... I was looking forwards to playing this game ever since I saw the video's with Robin Williams from E3
wow, seems quite early to put the release date back that much. I wonder what has (or hasn't) happened.
*cough cough*DN Forever*cough cough*
Seriously though.. this is getting beyond a Joke - the only consolation in my mind is that i might have a processor capable of running the AI well by then. But, then if you look at it from there point of view - this is probably one of if not the most complicated game ever produced so there are bound to be problems with the editors for a start.
Actually, it hasn't really been delayed until 2009.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com...66330&site=cvg"There seems to be some misinformation flying around," explained a rep in a phone interview. "Nothing's changed since our call on May 8, where [CEO] John Riccitello specifically said that we were moving Spore from fiscal '08 to early fiscal '09."
EA's fiscal 2009 runs from April 2008 through March 2009.

SO IT HASN'T BEEN DELAYED (AGAIN).
The thing with games is as soon as you start to show gameplay footage, or unveal something huge about it, you have a very limited window to get the product out before people start to loose interest. I'd say you have a year tops if you show ingame gameplay footage to then release the game.. maybe even 6 months by that stage.
Umm... hasn't actually slipped! I posted something about this at Hexus... does anyone need the link? Cute Steven W?
