Does Spore have enough steam?
GameDaily woke up and realized Spore's delay is nothing to write home about. They did write to the Internet public about it though. Here's a snippet: Besides, Spore doesn’t look like vaporware. Often, in addition to being pushed back, vaporous games tend to completely disappear for long periods of time, sometimes years. That hasn’t been the case with Spore, thanks to new videos, screens and working demos. In other cases, the development studios struggle with internal turmoil or against its publishers, neither of which is the case here. After the incredible successes of both the SimCity and The Sims franchises, EA knows that Will Wright can produce top-selling games, so they will provide him with all the time and funding he needs. Spore also has a major competitive edge over all other games: there is currently nothing quite like it on the market or currently in development. There’s no race to stand out among similar games. After the game finally releases, gamers everywhere can look forward to a future of Spore-clones destined to flood store shelves.
