EA admits it would "love" to bring Spore to PS3/360

Posted on February 13th, 2008 at 07:31 EDT

Electronic Arts has recently addressed the possibility of bringing the upcoming Spore to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, stating it would “love” to do so if it weren’t for various technical issues hampering it’s decision to port the title. 

Speaking to CVG, Producer Thomas Vu commented, "There's lots of technical hurdles we have to think about before we can say, 'Okay, we can do this or not'. But we're always looking at and thinking about these issues.”

“Spore is huge and we know there's an audience,” added Vu, before finally conceding, "Yeah, of course we'd love to do it, but at the same time we don't know".

Spore is currently scheduled for a release on PC, Mac, DS and Wii this September.

Yea I'm sorry but if it's appearing on the DS and the Wii then they obviously overcame any technical hurdles. I don't believe that PS3/360 wouldn't be able to handle the game if the DS can.

@ Pmosis - The DS and Wii version are VERY scaled down versions of the PC/Mac game. PS3 and 360 owners would want the PC/Mac equivalent. Other than that, I wouldn't know what these "technical issues" are.

psn id: gingo....it took them about 20 years to finally get the pc version finished imagine how long it would take them to get a 360 and especially ps3 version done

By technical issues I believe they mean the controls... PC has mouse and keyboard, Wii has remote whilst the DS has the touchscreen.

It's way easier to create a creature with those than a PS3/Xbox360 controller.

The technical problem is they can't get it to work on 360 because of disc space. So knowing EA they won't try and just do PS3 justice.

@PS3-The Ultimate Machine

EXACTLY! If the Wii can run it you can port that sucker to the PSP, forget the PS3/360, that'd be childs play to port to them. EA's just making s*** up.

Please bring it. Before anybody says a thing, this is created by the guy who came up with the Sims, which is really the only decent game that EA has now. There's so much to do in the game that I seriously would love to see this come to the PS3. If they're talking about controls, well guess what we can buy a wireless keyboard to play. For those who don't know Spore is a great lookin game that has way too much stuff. If you want to find out more go to IGN (they got a good 20 minute live demo) or the Spore website. I seriously want to see this game get fully ported. Not a fraction of the game like the DS or Wii, I want the whole thing with the 1 million plus planets. Yeah not exagerrating, there's going to be a lot of stuff in this game, too much that you can't do it in yout entire life.

Coming out in September for PC I believe (G4).  I know, don't throw stones at me, but I have heard a lot about it through PC Gamer.  It's a creature evolution game that I am looking forward to.  Start off as germs and work your way up to advanced beings depending on the choices you make.

I swear I hate people who wish to do something instead of actually making it happen. Making it happen EA and suck it up.
