What about creature?

The creature stage is not in the stages area of the page. 86.154.37.192 (talk) 15:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki fail - "Scientific Accuracy" should be removed

Scientific accuracy? Does Diablo have a chemistry accuracy section because it deals with alchemy? Unless ANYONE can find articles stating that the creators were going for near 100% scientific accuracy, this section MUST BE REMOVED. It's just so stupid.

I agree, I'm tired of all these so called scientific enthusiasts whining about how Spore isn't scientific enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.41.46 (talk) 01:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree that the section "Scientific accuracy" should be deleted. The game never pretends or assumes to be realistic. Other games don't have this. Alot of the info in that paragraph is saying that spore isnt scientific or un-scientific. It's just a game.

Agreed. Sim Life does not have a section on this, at most a couple sentences. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 17:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Heh... It said the npc creatures don't evolve, but that isn't true, I've seen one species make a cacoon and come out a new species! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.93.97.62 (talk) 06:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spore Modding

Spore modding has taken off lately, with the ability to create new parts and many mods coming out for spore. Should this be included on the page as it is for oblivion/civ/fallout 3? Here are 2 links to spore modding sites:

I've removed the links as obvious promotion, please read WP:SPAM. Unless modding gains prominence through acknowledgment by EA, article coverage, etc. no.--Crossmr (talk) 05:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will Wright as Designer

I think it may be misleading saying that Spore was designed by Will Wright. In actuality there were many designers on the game as you can see by the credits: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/spore_/credits

It didn't seem apropriate as I remembered reading this article: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12700 Wright says in the article: "I’m just one cog in this big team. I want to give people insight into how design gets distributed. I brought my main designers from the team, each looks at the game from a different way."

Maybe a better solution is to say "Will Wright was the Chief Designer of Spore", or "Spores concept was envisioned by Will Wright". I don't want to change it if anyone feels it wouldn't be beneficial.

Technical Errors?

I recently bought Spore, and it is FULL of crashes and glitches. Shouldn't there be some assistance posted on the article, like links to tech support or all that stuff? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.49.242 (talk) 05:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, wikipedia isn't a technical support forum, game guide, or anything else like that. If people want support they can contact the publisher/developer.--Crossmr (talk) 10:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Grox

Hello. I'm love the game "Spore". Why not talk about "The Grox"? Thanks. --Osnoroma (talk) 01:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
