I've noticed lately, this trend to start calling out upcoming Will Wright brainchild Spore for being "behind schedule." I'm not quite sure what that's all about.
Sure the game was showed back in 2005, and looked amazing, but just because it makes an appearance doesn't mean the game is months away from completion.
I don't think the release date for Spore has been pushed back once. In fact, I don't think its ever had a release date. The closest I've heard was fall of this year, and near as I can tell that's till the timeframe.
If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on a September release date for the PC killer-app. Earl fall would time nicely with what I'm sure Microsoft is hoping will be a steady ramping up of their new Games for Windows brand and Vista. It would also fall nicely in the quiet that is the storm before the annual rush to get games out the door in time for the holidays. And if Spore is half as good as it appears to be, I can't imagine it's going to suffer from a lack of attention no matter when it hits.
Personally, I think this game could be among a select group of 2007 titles that spark the next big steps in computer gaming evolution, or at least I hope so.
