Spore hit by massive delay?

Wednesday 20-Jun-2007 8:34 AM US mag reports heavy delay for Will Wright's ambitious title

8 Comments

Game Informer has reported that Spore has been delayed past fiscal 08 into fiscal 09, leading to speculation that a few consoles versions might be in the offering due to extra time given to the game.

It wasn't long ago that we reported that EA expected Spore to slip and miss its fiscal 2008 calendar year, which ends in March 2008. News is now emerging that the game looks certain to miss this period and fall further into the company's next financial year.

No official release date has ever been set for the game but with more and more stories cropping up about a release moving further and further away, it doesn't look like we'll get our hands on the game anytime soon. Hopefully E3 will shed some light on the situation.

If they're not careful this game could be pushed back to oblivion. Mad

Just because The Sims is so popular doesn't mean everything Will Wright works on turns to gold. EA might think this and can the whole thing.

Damn this game looks good. Sod the console versions. I want this on PC!

WTF? Wasn't this game fully playable like back in late 2005?? Whats the delay now?

EA might think this and can the whole thing.

I heard a rumor last month that EA was getting tired of the project and that Will Wright himself is backing the project financially.

I can't believe that... Unless the project is FAR from completion and they're tired of being messed around with release dates.

I knew this would happen, there were rumours but nothing clear.

Oh well!, looks like ill have to put off Suicide for another 2 years.....

Personally I think the only reason this game keeps getting delayed is because EA want a simultanious release on all platforms, so the PC version which looks to be almost copleted has been shelved...
