Q&A: EA on launching Spore Creature Creator

As the developers of one of the most highly anticipated games on this year's release calendar, the team at Maxis is currently feeling the crunch when it comes to finishing Spore. Due for release in September on the PC, Mac, and Nintendo DS, the game will let you control various life-forms from the cellular to the galactic level, and then share these creations with other people around the world. Wii and mobile versions are also planned for a later, undisclosed date.

The first part of this grand idea was realised today when Maxis launched the Spore Creature Creator worldwide. Costing £4.99 in the UK and $10 in the US, the toolset lets players begin creating their own creatures before sharing them. A free trial version is also available.

To mark the occasion, GameSpot cornered Maxis executive producer Lucy Bradshaw to find out more about the Creature Creator, as well as the latest developments on the game itself.

I can't wait for this game. Even if it turns out to be nothing special, it will add some much needed variety and over a change in pace, not to mention get some creative juices flowing.

PC games piss me off!! Yea Im pissed right now so I might be talking out of anger but I dont care. I hope PC gaming drowns in a pool of sh*T!!! whY is that? Because they always got to make it so complicated to install and actually get it to play. Also you have to update your computer every year if you want to play a new good PC game it seems. Im sorry I dont want a console that last only 2-3years THANK GOD I DONT HAVE THAT PROB WITH CONSOLES!

When I want to play a console game I just pop the sh*t in and be on my way. If I do have to install anything it does it all on its own basically and I dont have to look for a special startup file. That my friend is why PC gaming is dieing because its drowning in a pool of complicated sh*T..

Just think if if sex was as complicated as PC gaming... You would have to talk to your &*^& for two hours and hope it plays by the end of the conversation. I'm sorry I hate PC gaming and I cant wait until it dies completely so it all goes to console gaming. Yea theres some good things about PC gaming but Im sure they could do the same on console now seeing consoles are now going more towards online gaming. Then maybe you dont have to worry about your brother getting a virus on your console from downloading porn. Save that for the PC!

If you think sex is not complicated then i seriously doubt you have a girlfriend.

Take this to Open Zone ---------------->

The Milkman6216d ago (Edited 6216d ago )

Last time I checked sex wasnt as complicated as the PC. Thats sucks for you. So you have to have a conversation to your #$%# for 2 hours?
I'm hoping you just didnt get my point.

P.S. Im not expecting a response to this.

The 10 Weirdest Video Games You Can Play Today

From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."

BlackDoomAx1506d ago

The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)

The 10 Best Video Games With Cut Content

From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."

I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.

-Foxtrot1512d ago

"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"

Really?

MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.

Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.

lsujester1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.

JRMVN1505d ago

THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
