Spore Creature Creator

Its out on the 20/06/2008 thats 7 days, all it cost is £5, that gives you 84 days until Spore is out. Thats enough time to create your perfect creature i think

Nice looking forward to seeing it, I want my creatures to be smallish/fast with claws and lots of them, if they get attacked they will swarm en-masse

is this £5 refundable when you purchase the whole game or are you paying for the priviledge of creating creatures early??

Only if you order the full game via the EA Store! Typical EA behaviour though, screw 'em for every last penny.

Can safely say I have no idea how my creatures will end up

Im gonna make 2 creatures one a peace full kind and the other complete opposite

I think we should post some pics of them on here when we finished them

Sounds good fun. I'll have a look at what sort of things you can produce and might get it. Should be pretty cool.

I know what i will do when the game comes out, create 1 ravenous race of diabolical ugly scorn bloodsuckers and 1 race of fluffy cute tiny bouncy creates with a tendancy to eat lots of grass.

Except give the bunnies the fangs :cool:

I can tell how much fun i will have by the smile on my face, dont think i'll get the creature creator though, seems a bit excessive for what it is.

Cool

Looking forward to this and what other peoples creatures look like

Just a £5 mate

By which you mean Yes, in full.
Don't get me wrong, I know there are numerous reasons for a PC gamer to have beef with EA but this isn't one. For those who are well hyped for Spore, you can start playing now at basically no cost if you intend to buy the final game.

DragonWoLf · 14 Jun 2008 at 00:36

defo getting this! cant wait!

However, you lose out if you wish to buy the game physically

They should at least refund the £5 if you register your serial code online or something

Why? It's an incentive to use the EA online store. The same way Valve usually offer 10% off a game if you pre-order through Steam.

OK, I agree that would be a nice subtle touch which is probably beyond a large, unwieldy company like EA.
Still I don't think £5 is a poor price for a 3 month-ish preview of some parts of the game. Compared to GT Protoype or whatever it's called, for example. Especially if it's of interest to you.
I've only been vaugley following spore so far but starting to get quite interested - I mostly ignore games until they're genuinely imminent nowadays.

£5 is a lot when you are waiting for a new job to start, i could buy Audiosurf for it, i would rather savour the game until its full release.

Shamikebab · 14 Jun 2008 at 01:18

rip off, would never pay for a demo. Will quite happily wait for the full game.

Explain why I should give money to a company who's "support team" emailed me to tell to "**** off", just because they couldn't sort my problem out after a few months of trying?

Probably best asking EA rather than a random memeber of a message board.

Not asking them, just informing! They've been a member since '06 and if they read the "PC Games" forum regularly they'll know of the problems I had with EA support, and them actually telling me to "**** off"! That is if they've read my posts in the numerous anti-EA threads of course.
