Spore News Feast
I’ll be honest, I have been a bit lazy with my Spore news recently, I think that I have to make amends for that and I will start to do so now.
The first piece of news comes way of Shacknews which has revealed the minimum and recommended specs for Spore on the PC. They are really quite reasonable.
FOR WINDOWS XP
o 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
o 512 MB RAM
o A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
o At least 6 GB of hard drive spaceFOR WINDOWS VISTA
o 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
o 768 MB RAM
o A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
o At least 6 GB of hard drive space
The Sporepedia has also gone live which allows you to go explore and witness what amazing critters people have been designing. Bear in mind the Creature Creator hasn’t been released yet so these creations are mainly from Developers or Journalists.
That includes PC Gamer’s Tim Edwards who made a giant cock-like creature. Very mature Tim, but you certainly won’t be the only one doing something like that!
Finally via Videogaming 24/7 comes word from Ripten about a special bonus for any UK Pre-Order-ers.
“In the UK, anyone pre-ordering the full Spore game, due out on September 5, through either EA Store or via selected retailers (GAME and Zavvi) will get a disc containing 100 per cent of the CC (Creature Creator). The only cash they will part with is whatever the pre-order deposit is (typically a £5). This money is deducted from the retail price of Spore when it arrives in September, meaning that the full CC is to all intents and purposes free in the UK.”
For those of you who don’t want to get the full Creature Creator like that, or don’t wish to pay for it, a limited version is going to be released on the 17th June which contains 25% of the components found in the full version. Expect more wacky Spore creatures to appear all over the internet next week!
