If only this article were correct Seems even WR cant prefict a release date. But oh well, late 07, late 08 whats a year any way

i wonder if a 7300 LE can work...

a demo would be nice, but it would take time for them to make it, time away from actually finishing the game, I can wait and just buy the game when it comes out.

yeah, a demo would be nice, considering ive been waiting since late 2005. Maybe a small package of, the game with the microbe stage and the running and fighting diablo stage, but you only have 2 hours before it resets to the beggining,(which isnt so bad, you would get to test allot of differant things) and also, on the side, a separate program with just the creature editor. I think that would be fair.

If it can handle BF2 or BW2 at all is a sign that you might not need as much of an upgrade as you might think :-p

there is a good thing in this...im gonna need a major upgrade....my computer can barely handle BF2 and Black and White 2

aw dammit...at least i'll have time to get a better graphics card

just wait to see my advanced race of bipedal lizard men with 18 eyes and 8 arms arrive on your planet (it would be cool if you could download other player's creatures into your universe wouldnt it?)

BE HAPPY because less bugs and crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

when this game comes out i will be the most moronic god any world will ever see and make creatures that have butts right on top of their heads (thanx vg cats) just to make me fell better inside and i speak for anyone and everyone with a twisted mind such as mine

Im going crazy for this game!!!!!! But im willing to wait (just)

at least a small demo to hold me over would surfice.

I cant believe they are going to take this long to get this game in the shops.. Whats the hold up?? It looks amazing, totally genious idea!!

Well, I guess we could settle for another year I suppose.

i can't wait all this time, thats too long...

This news saddens me, even though it's not totally unexpected. I guess there are other things to look forward to. (*cries*)

Thats helps the idea that their going to launch the game for both 360 and PS3 along with the PC one. (With a Wii version afterall)

It better be worth the wait ...

"THE MORONIC FOOLS I DID NOT SPEND EVERY WAKEING MOMENT TO HEAR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hey, they don't spend every waking moment making the game to hear whiny comments like yours.

Get over it, the world doesn't revolve around you. People have lives.

Thanks Will! Now the wife and kids are crying, and I just got a migraine. At least you want to have a FINISHED game at ship, which is counter to what we have been getting from PC games of late.

This is taking to long i have lost all interest. Oh well

I want a console version, and judging by the interview earlier it's very probable.

Well, guys..

"It'll be done when it's done!"

Well, I'll definitely have new computers by then. ^_^;

But I would not be surprised to <unfounded>see the individual segments of the game released as demos as they are completed</unfounded>.

I really don't care. I'd like to play the game... but it's no match for the wait of Halo 3.

Well at least its not as bad as the Wait for Twilight princess.

Woohoo! Duh

Best things come to those Who wait.....and wait and wait...

Is this will man trying to 'get blood out of a stone'..???!!!
I will get the game,but are they pushing the GOD factor to much?
my creatures going to have 3 legs and 4 arms...maybe a tail....

this is more than expected for me. We're talking an enourmous amount of custom content, and a singleplayer game that is not only populated, but completly changed and shifted by other players, like a multiplayer game. As a programmer, I understand the complexity of what this game is putting on the workers, despite the fact that 40 of the 80 team members are programmers.

And we won't see a demo for this game for months (and im not talking 2-3, i mean 6+). I suspect that we'll have a ton of video info and such from Germany next month, and that should help ease the tensions. Public Playable versions will still be quite a ways away.

THE MORONIC FOOLS I DID NOT SPEND EVERY WAKEING MOMENT TO HEAR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWARE IF THEAY DONT RELESE A DEMO IN AUGUST 2006 I WILL SENT ANGRY LETTERS (best i can do) PLEASE RELEASE THE DEMO IN AUGUST DONT DO WHAT EARTH 2160 DID AND RELEASE THE DEMO A WEAK AFTER THE GAME COMES OUT

NooooooOOooo! No I say.

To wait...

Yeah but it will be difficult

Words cannot express my sorrow.

Hmm...one of Will Wrights main points of GDC 05 was that by havin everything procedurally generated would have them Masses of work and time making content, however if they have to send all that time getting everything to work properly its something of a failed concept. Don't get me wrong i will be getting the game and can't wait for it however for something that was ment to speed up development time...

Hopefully they don't pull a BS move on everyone and make it one of the "Vista Only" releases.

Keep it in development until it is perfect, I say.

It's just like Twilight Princess. Don't release it until it is ready.

Hi had fun playing SIM-EARTH back in the day. I'm eagerly awaiting Spore, Spore is sounding/looking like a good successor to SE.

Invid, he's saying he's looking at a release date around the second half of 2007.

it will be worth the wait

So, does this really mean late '07 or early '08?

Wonderful, guess no Spore for me. I ship off to grad school Fall 2007. Hope you young kids enjoy it for me.

Breaking the EA curse of half-finished games! W00t

you talk about god's creation of the world, which isn't scientific in itself.

Omg, we're not getting half-a-game, YES! Cannot wait.

can't wait to play this game!!!!

God makes evolution you noobs.

Science, LOL.

It's better to be really good as I expect because the competition will be tough...We will have PS3, Wii and XBOX 360 with their young portfolio battling for our attention against the PC games...

Man, I want to make carnivores too, guess it'll have to wait.
