Piecemeal Game Sales
April 28th 2008, 21:19 CEST by Fugazi(werking) So EA is releasing a creature editor for Spore well before the release of the game itself and this editor will have 25% of the functionality of the full game. Or you can pay $10 and get all of the creature tools early. So what do we think-great revenue model or just evil EA gouging customers? Full press release from EA is included below. Redwood City, CA - April 25, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Maxis today announced that a free downloadable demo, and complete retail version of the Spore™ Creature Creator will be available starting June 17, 2008. The Spore Creature Creator gives Spore fans, and those who are creatively curious, the first hands-on opportunity to design their own species and share it with their friends. All creatures designed with the Spore Creature Creator can be imported into the full retail version of Spore for PC and Mac when it launches on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America. “We are thrilled to finally be putting the creative tools of Spore into the hands of players around the world,” said Will Wright, chief designer, Maxis. “The amazing creations players design this summer will help populate the game universe we all enter when Spore ships this September, so in a sense, the Spore Creature Creator is the birth of Spore.” The free demo version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available worldwide via download from www.spore.com. The demo lets players shape, paint and play with an unlimited number of creatures, using 25 percent of the creature-making parts from Spore. Gamers can then share these creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube. The demo will also be included in the The SimCity™ Box, which ships on June 23. A complete retail version of the Spore Creature Creator will also be available in North America for $9.99 and most European territories for €9.99, which gives players access to all the creature-making parts in the game. Spore, the highly anticipated game from the creators of The Sims™, gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers. Consumers can visit www.spore.com to sign up for the Spore newsletter or check out all-new screenshots and video of the game. Members of the media can visit EA’s press site at www.info.ea.com for information about all of EA’s games. Spore Creature Creator retail version is not available in all territories. My first topic submission bitches! I am no longer part of the problem! |

Direct-X, reinstall it. |

what, you don't get a beep? If you pull the ram and start it, does it beep? If not, re seat the processor, or you got a bad cpu or mainboard. If it is a LLG775 board, inspect the pins in the socket to make sure one didn't get fucked. But if it beeps after you pull the ram, it's either bad or not in the slot properly. Sometimes ram slots can be a little out of spec, size wise. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

PC's a few years old, I'm trying to repurpose it as HTPC. I've already yanked and reseated both RAM sticks, no difference. I'll try booting it without them and see what happens. "I buy Captain Crunch because I like a man in uniform." - BobJustBob

TreeFrog (#1065): PC's a few years old, I'm trying to repurpose it as HTPC. I've already yanked and reseated both RAM sticks, no difference. I'll try booting it without them and see what happens. More details on what actually happens from the moment you hit the power button would help people further diagnose the problem. :) "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

lwf is a fucking douchebag. |

He is, but why punish the rest of us? |

Make more games that are not World of Warcraft so you can lose more. All game designers are no dicked losers. Except hellchick. |
|
Hellchick is a dicked loser? That's harsh. |
|
Yeah, I'm just not sure how to take that. I'll have to put some thought into it. |

No, some twirl, really, firedancers can do almost a second of skin contact without damage.

This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

Freemont is irrelevant now. "Braid breaks one of my personal most fundamental rules of games design within minutes of starting - they have timed puzzles."

Afro Samurai. Kind of neat. Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."
