Will Wright: Spore coming to "all platforms"
Gamespy has talked to Will Wright about his new simulation game Spore. In the interesting interview, Wright confirms that Spore will be released on PC first around April/May 2007 and that it is going to cell phones too. He even mentions "all platforms".
He also has something to say about PS3 and the Wii:
GameSpy: Still PC only?
WW: Well, actually we are going to go on all platforms, but we will come out on PC first. We will even come out on cell phones and stuff. One of the things in the game is that as you go around and encounter things… creatures and plants, or whatever, you make trading cards of each thing. That is the metaphor for the database -- trading cards. So you can collect your cards. You can print them out. You can now play your own card game. That might be like the cell phone part. That stuff is so light. It's more about collectability as opposed to interaction. Every creature in the PC game is three or four megabytes. But the cards, that is the database that the player is building.

GameSpy: I've got to ask, how do you think Sony will do with that $600 price point?
WW: Six hundred bucks; that is a lot of money. I'm rooting for Nintendo. What I don't like is that the way the Wii controller works depends a lot on how close you are to your TV. If you are five feet away it feels one way. If you are 10 feet away, it feels completely different.
So, not overly positive about both of them. We're anxious to see how he will manage to convert the mouse interface of Spore to the consoles, even the Wii doesn't seem to be without practical problems.WW: Six hundred bucks; that is a lot of money.
