No Spore For Xbox 360
Since last September, I have wanted Spore, but I’m going through a phase right now where I am just over PC games. Don’t get me wrong, I still play them incessantly and I will get Spore, but it would be nice if Spore were to come out for the Xbox 360. Sometimes a girl just wants to sit on her couch, backward and upside down and play video games. You just cannot do that on a computer.
Maxis created crack for nerdly gamers back in the day and it goes by the names of the Sims or SimCity. Well, Maxis is trying to capture lightning in a bottle once again, and it could happen with Spore.
But Spore, if it does evolve into the game of choice for all levels of game addicts, will only be a PC or Mac-based game…oh, yeah, and a DS and a Wii game.
That’s right. Spore is being developed for play on the Wii and the Nintendo DS, but not the damn Xbox. Why, for the love of jove, why? Maxis and Nintendo are the evil heart of this conspiracy, and players like me that would like to be able to play all games on a large LCD HDTV instead of my 17″ laptop screen are the ones who suffer.
Bad Maxis, bad.
However, for all those who play on PC’s or mac’s, DS’ or Wii’s, you will be getting Spore either for the first time (Wii and DS) or you will have available for your gaming pleasures two new Spore games in Spore: Galactic Adventures and Spore: Creature Keeper (developed for younger players, and kinda like a sim-habitat-thing).
To be fair, the exec in the interview does not not say that Spore is being developed for the Xbox and PS3.

it is being made for 360 and ps3 (360 FTW), they have said its going to be pretty easy for half, as half the game is avatar based (no probs sorting compatability out there for consoles) BUT, its the creature creating stages/building construcion (which personally i dont see a problem sorting compatability out there) that they said is causing them troubles, as they want the same free creative exprience as on PC so they are working around it, and also the RTS stages like Tribal and Civilisation stage. They might miss these out and create them avatar based instead of RTS, as they believe RTS suck on consoles (and again i dont see a problem, so all in all they are just making problems for themselves in my opinion). But they are developing one for console but not the exact same and it kinda dissapoints me as i dont see any problems for transfering pc one straight to console and changing the controls, there just perfectionists i guess.
