Spore to be PC Only, For Now

Joystiq reports the news that, for the time being, Spore will be only on the PC. This, despite Will Wright's hopes that it would see publication on the Wii, 360, PS3, Gameboy, DS, and PSP. EA seems to be wanting to 'get it right' on the PC to begin with, though, and is discounting the game's publication on those platforms at this time. From the article: "The Wii reference may be a direct result of UK magazine NGamer's recent article that suggests Spore is coming to Nintendo Wii in Spring 2007. As it stands, Wright's team is '100% focused on finishing Spore on the PC and PC only.' That said, you'd have to be pretty foolish to believe Spore will remain exclusive to any format. Like The Sims before it, Wright's latest project will likely invade every screen -- television, computer, mobile phone, etc. -- on Earth."

Mac?

What about Mac OS X? Yeah, I know, boot into Windows. Bleah.

EA...

If it sells at all, this will be on every platform at some point. EA ports damn near every game to every platform.

Spore will Bomb

[MBraynard]

The game is way, way too unstructured in it's sand box design. This game is going to wind up being just like Black and White in that it has some incredible features but will fall flat for being just not fun or particularly competitive.

You heard it here first. And since it will be a flop, you are not likely to see it on any other platform.

Will Wright being who he is, he can have flops here and there. I just hope he returns to the Sim City series and gives that the attention it needs.
