Spore Releases First Playable Demo at Leipzig

Remember Spore? I totally do. It was going to revolutionize the way we play games, bringing player customization to new levels. That was a few years ago. Spore has since gone into hiding, only poking its nose up every once in a while in sort of a “we are still here†gesture that involved little more than new screenshots.
Well fret no more Spore fans, as it seems the first exciting news in quite a while has just been confirmed. Spore will be playable at the Leipzig Gaming Convention. This is a big step, as a truly playable version of the title has never been displayed. What has the EA team been working on for these last couple of years? I have trust that the wait will be worth it.
The biggest question that remains unanswered is when Spore will actually hit store shelves. The official word mentions a late-2008 release, but there’s plenty of precedent that would suggest the date would spill over into 2009. So the game may not be ready just yet, but at least soon we will be able to have a few new videos to tide you over for the next few… years.
How come every creature I’ve seen come from spore look evolutionarily impossible? Vestigal organs out the ass.
Literally.
Soon I shall create my army of giant turtles, and together we shall rule the universe with an iron fist!
They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting teens.
Actualy EA and Maxis said the game would be released in July of 08.
I’ve never heard anything about it being released late 2008..
Isn’t it coming out around March/April/May 2008?
You mention that the targeted release date is late 2008 to early 2009. I have to point out that it’s scheduled for the first quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, which is around April 1, 2008.
on the future shop website it says it is coming out in august
2008
So you believe a random website over the source itself?
i wish it would just come out already
It looks so awesome i want to get (just like u guys) it do you know if it has come out in england or that general area? my cousin is over there so he could buy it for me if it has come out over in england. try to respond fast if possible thnx guys.
Spore is gonna be awesome!!!!
. But still i wish it would come out now…… 
. Anyway, when it comes out, i’ll kill everyone with my huge battle lizards!!! 
(they will be called dragoons) But when will spore come out? 
Where’s the demo?
, or is it coming out later 
its mackatack here i changed my name to yoshi
arghhhhh……… spore is getting to me! I want it to come out or ill tear myself apart
!!!!!!
it might come out like around summer next year or like 2010 so it might never come out i mean it might just be to get our attention and make us wanna guy ea games lol
it so needs to come out allready
athronos if your right ill………………………..
lol
i am right…….
Don’t panic.. We are all gonna play the game.. I hope..
I think we will all play the game in 6 months.. just wait 
Just wait 6 months.. the release date = March 2008. I am sure it’s truth.
It can’t be pushed any further cause… it is Finished!!! Why should they do that?…
I agree with Voyager92, there is no point for them to push it back any further because their done!! It just seems poinless for it to be released in 2009. The release date is most likely going to be march 08, or maybe even december 07!?!
Actually official release is set for May 1st. Ive been waiting too!
and yes it is finished so it should come out either the end of the year or the begining of next year
………. I think a demo is coming out 2 weeks or 2 months before the Game but its only the Creature Making thing.
oh and in 6 month Spore Does Come Out Read:According to Will Wright himself, Spore is fully playable and will be released in spring – about 6 months from now.
spore will be comin out on march third it says on amazon.com
u aint the only1 mate
still no demo, any one got the specs for the game as i hope i will be abale to play it
i will go crAZY IF THIS DOESNT COME OUT…IM JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
is it out yet? ive been waiting for like 10 freakin seconds!!!! I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER! GAaARGH
I’m crying now becuase the release dates range from March 2nd 2008 to 2010!
I just want them to at least give us a demo
Ummm…i hope nobodies saying 2010 because I do jsut to make a point. I tell youtube video comments it will probably come out 2010 only because I’ve been waiting 2 years now and the dates been pushed back at lease 10 time now so I make jokes saying it will probably come out around 2010. so if you hear that its not true it just me making fun of the release date, I heard March 2nd or 31st. so….Im drinking more so I can make the time fly by faster
okay, i jsut heard 2011. they had a problem with the downloading to other computers so they had to rewrite the entire script. Errr!! Im so mad!! I give up!!!!!….=P Im kidding!!! its been 20 more secs and I cant wait!!!! =P hehe its still either march 2nd or 31st from my understanding of 2008 =P just had to wake everybody up =)
This looks like a fun game, with plenty of replay value! Too bad I’m impatient, and have a poor attention span and memory.
Gaaaaahhh Play.com says 07/03/08 BUT!, Is it American or English? DD/MM/YY OR MM/DD/YY I hope DD/MM/YY >.
I checked the Play.com section about Spore, Linkage, and I would assume that it’s English (DD/MM/YY) because all the money is in British Pounds.

PS – YAY!
PPS – Arachnathid will be the name of my Creature (spider with one giant eye, three legs, webbed hands and pincery-things) so no stealing my name!!!!!
…please
and when i say now i mean NOW
or ill cry.
