![]() Recently Maxis was closed due to EA, and I know this news is late but i just want to say I hope I never see spore 2 without maxis running it because i do not trust (nor should anyone) EA with titles anymore. Maxis was the driving force of spore, the game that suffered overhype from a man who shall remain anonymous (though many know exactly who) and still became a classic. Otherwise it would introduce too many issues to be worthwhile from a development perspective.Īll that aside however, I am devoutly in favour of a remake/remaster.So I know many people will either rage at this title, question this title, but hopefully understand or will understand this title soon. ![]() You would pretty much have to develop a "definitive edition" with the same tools Maxis used to develop Spore. The biggest challenge for a remake akin to that of the kind mentioned, would be the age of Spore's code. But arguably, EA could find a handful of the core forces behind the game, and recruit them to oversee/direct a remaster being done under a different studio. Again the biggest issue would be the absence of Maxis and the team that built Spore. And the biggest argument against a Spore remake is that if EA fumbles and produces a *, it would kill what remains of the original.Ī remaster will suffer from different hurdles but not to different from a remake. EA would have to take a risk on the remake in the first place, and likely devoted a large amount of resources on it, there is simply no reason to remake spore without rebuilding it. Without them it would be likely that such a remake will go down like a lead balloon.ĮA would have to be very delicate and measured, two words that haven't described EA for a long time. A lot of the talent that made Spore have since moved on, and you'd need at least some of main forces behind the game to oversee a remake. Spore was being updated up until EA shuttered the studio. The biggest of which is the closure of Maxis. However as much as I desire a Spore remake/remaster, I do see several obstacles to that becoming reality. I for one would be willing to pre-order a remastered spore! Something I would not do for any other EA Game. Provided they keep the essence of the game intact. If EA were to remake/remaster spore, I honestly believe it would thrive. There are few games that I can recall that have had a terrible launch, seen the end of their development, are close to technological obsolescence and yet are still beloved, played, and supported by a passionate community. It could have been a golden goose so to speak without that DRM. ![]() I'd compare the hype for spore before launch to the hype around Halo 3. I mean, once the DRM was removed, the game started to flourish, albeit severely deminished from the apocalyptic launch. Had EA not had such an obnoxiously strict DRM, it would have been a massive success. It took EA 2 weeks to remove the DRM and by then most initial interest evaporated, ironically the DRM was so draconian that it meant that even you bought it legitimately, you had to pirate the game anyways, because the DRM wouldn't let you play it. Spore only failed in a financial sense due to draconian DRM (keep in mind that spore launched in a world before digital distribution on PC was mainstream) Information, Guides and Announcements for the EA app.
