Did EA just CONFIRM Spore 2?

Spore 2 is confirmed! Kind of...maybe...but realistically probably.

Today I wanted to talk about it, my hopes, wishes, and fears...EA is in charge of it after all so I have alot of the latter.

Leave a like if you enjoyed!

Cant wait to buy parts with actual money instead of DNA points

To this day, Spore has a 24-hour player count peak about 10x higher than Dustborn's all-time peak.

God, please no. Modern EA making Spore 2 is the equivalent of reanimating the corpse of your loved one using AI

[Donyas]

alot of people forget that spore came out before minecraft

I can only imagine the microtransactions... it might even be live service

In an ideal world, EA would realize that the mantra for the development of Spore 2 should be "Creative Freedom", and invest in that. They would add more editors (plants, huts, music, playable planets), more customization for your species (dimorphism, personality traits, multiple outfits, voice pitch), official mod support, community servers, unlimited complexity and boundless editor by default, and have part of their monetization on *extremely* sofisticated mod dev tools, to the point where someone skilled enough could create their own game mode.

Unlike most people, i'm honestly not against part packs being put in DLCs as long as they are truly unique but still have the same stats as the core parts, exactly like the Creepy & Cute pack where they add more of everything but the parts are properly balanced.

But of course, this is not an ideal world. They will do everything in their power to kill modding, they will charge 50 dollars for a super exclusive and limited "level 20 strike" part, they will put the later stages in DLCs, and remove the original Spore from their digital stores so people can't even go back to it.

testing the waters like the aquatic stage hehe

My reaction

Old EA : hell yeah

New Ea : Leave it alone

[FroggBoy]

my biggest concern with a spore 2 is that it will have a million DLC purchases and parts are in lootboxes

[beckyharris]

I love the terraforming stage where you have to make the planets habitable for creatures. I haven't found any other game that you can do this sort of thing. Every planet requiring different environments really interested me. If they added more to that stage made it more indepth I would be happy 😊

PLEASE EA MAKE SPORE GOOD, ITS MY CHILDHOOD

The only thing keeping spore alive in the modern day is it's modding community. Now we have more hope than ever.

Get ready for the season 1 battle pass where you unlock the ability to have eyeballs at tier 100

The DRM was the main reason I pirated Spore back in the day... I ordered the game, and afterwards read that you were only allowed a couple of installs. When I received the game in the mail, I straight up returned it. I don't remember how long I had to wait for a cracked version, but it wasn't that long. Especially after having to wait that long after the E3 2005 demo.
Did bought the game since in a steam sale, but for a fraction of the price.

Anti-piracy drove people to piracy...

One of the biggest issues with Spore is it's essentially several different games running on the same engine smashed into one game. It sounds great on paper and they executed it the best they can but if you want every stage to feel meaningful you almost would have to make every stage a game by itself and try to have one game allow you to 'import' save data from the others. I remember reading about Spore and following its development and how it originally was going to be there were other 'stages' of the game and other editors that were cut from the original game. The underwater stage and a 'city' stage, then there's the plant editor that if I recall is still in the game, it's just hidden away. This new dev team might be here to fix old issues and/or do maintenance/moderation but I really hope for something more.

I hope that the vibe of Spore would be carried into any sequels. The UI, the music, the sound design, the generally whimsical vibe, etc. Just making it an evolution simulator with editors would really kill the game for me. I'd also want the existing stages to get fleshed out as opposed to getting more stages. More parts and color options would be great too.

[maxmazzotti]

Oh god please be true. I want this new team to fix all the glitches that crash the game while playing the main game or just creating creatures, adventures, etc. This is one of my favorite games ever and I want to see a new version of this game like this as well. Also make a remastered version of Darkspore free from DRM please

[DreapsterAtRoblox]

Seems like thrive, the sapling, Elysian eclipse, all these games are threatening a title ea saw as dormant and no money in and now they’re threatened by not capitalizing on what they threw out maxis for

[Yomush]

No, don't give me hope... Old EA is long dead, now it's just another soulless company that will tarnish Spore's legacy

[thematriarch-cyn]

I honestly doubt it. A new spore like game would be very hard to make, and even if they were able to, there's no telling that they'd do it well, possibly tanking the reputation of an expensive game to make. It'd barely make any sense to make a spore 2, it'd cost a lot, and the chance of failure is extremely high. I dont see a company like EA doing that, if they can just make safer games.
