Spore: Total lansering!
I det ene øyeblikket så blir jeg deprimert, og i det andre øyeblikket er jeg overlykkelig. Spore skal lanseres på alt av elektroniske dupeditter.
Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, PC, håndholdte og mobiltelefoner!!! I et intervju i GameSpy sier Will Wright:
“Well, actually we are going to go on all platforms, but we will come out on PC first. We will even come out on cell phones and stuff. One of the things in the game is that as you go around and encounter things… creatures and plants, or whatever, you make trading cards of each thing. That is the metaphor for the database — trading cards. So you can collect your cards. You can print them out. You can now play your own card game. That might be like the cell phone part. That stuff is so light. It’s more about collectability as opposed to interaction. Every creature in the PC game is three or four megabytes. But the cards, that is the database that the player is building.”
Han sier dette når de nevner at en Playstation 3 skal koste 600$:
“Six hundred bucks; that is a lot of money. I’m rooting for Nintendo. What I don’t like is that the way the Wii controller works depends a lot on how close you are to your TV. If you are five feet away it feels one way. If you are 10 feet away, it feels completely different.”
Det jeg håper på er at den felles databasen for alle planetene m/innhold er delt mellom alle de forskjellige platformene, og at det ikke spiller noe rolle om man spiller på en PV eller en Wii. Men det jeg lurer på da er “hva med ekspansjons-pakkene til Spore”? Hvordan skal konsollene takle de?
