Spore is an ambitious “god game” where you play the role of creator watching your creatures and worlds evolve through your own decisions.  The game has been in production for over seven years, and numerous delays have caused many to label it as vaporware.  EA & Maxis beg to differ, announcing that Spore will finally see release on September 7, 2008.  The game will initially be available on PC, Mac, Nintendo DS, and mobile phones.  Click below or head to their official site for the full press release.

EA AND MAXIS TO SHIP SPORE IN SEPTEMBER

Redwood City, CA - February 12, 2008 - Get ready for the next Big Bang this fall! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Maxis today announced that Spore™, the highly anticipated game from the creators of The Sims™, will be available at retailers worldwide the weekend of September 7. Spore will be available for the PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS™, and mobile phones.

“The wait is almost over,” said Maxis Chief Designer Will Wright. “We’re in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can’t wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year.”

Spore gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers.

Can’t wait for it!

if this ever does come out.. i think it will be awesome. now to see some system specs for the PC version :X

I’m not sure if I’ll get this or not, but the PC requirements are probably pretty intimidating.  They say a Wii version is still in the works, which could be a solid alternative to people without a solid PC.

“god game” more like RTS mirite?

I would say that it’s a combination of the two, but it certainly has enough elements from god games to be described as such.
