Spore Hype Concerns Will Wright News

By Chris Leyton on 28/08/2008 Maxis' head talks about the spiralling hype surrounding Spore and future expansions...

Gearing up to the rapidly impending launch of Spore, EA Maxis' Will Wright has voiced his concerns at the escalating hype that has surrounded the title during the last year.

Speaking to Game Informer, Wright claims: "I think it's too much hype. About a year ago, we were realising how much hype we were getting and we decided we should start to say that it's going to suck just to de-hype it. That is a certain amount of pressure.

"We've gotten to that point any additional hype isn't serving us well. It's a concern."

Contrasting the expansion of Spore to Maxis' phenomenally well-received The Sims series, Wright suggests the title will expand onto other formats but not necessarily in the same context.

"I think Spore lends itself more to horizontal expansion, where we take components of the game like levels or editors into totally different formats and hit people that maybe never even played the hardcore PC game, but would enjoy a lighter experience using one of the editors. Or, using the content in new ways outside of Spore the game."

"I think we're going to see Spore expanding in a much wider variety of ways than The Sims did, but to the same extent. Different systems, different game styles, things like that. Once you have this much content there's a lot of things you can do with it, gaming and otherwise."

This game was a huge let-down, especially in terms of the basic technical aspects of gameplay. And if by "immense," you mean "insanely repetitive and mind-numbing," then I agree with this review. The aspects that make it interesting (terraforming, colonizing, etc) get old VERY fast, and the combat mechanics are idiotic (especially because of the camera angles). Do NOT recommend.
