As far as I'm concerned, my computer won't run Spore. Needless to say, that sucks. But I find myself unwilling to continuously update my computer and I know the consequences, I accept that.

The clause: I heard something, somewhere, about a "Creature Creator" download.
The questions:

1. Is it still available?
2. If so, where can I find it?
3. Do you need the specs for Spore to run the Creature Creator?

Help's always appreciated.

Viva la GiantBomb!

1. Yes.
2. Here: http://www.spore.com/trial or in shops.
3. Yes.

You must have a seriously sucky computer if it won't run spore. Even my 2 year old laptop that was underpowered when I got it can play spore. Are you using like a 5 year old computer or something?

"You must have a seriously sucky computer if it won't run spore. Even my 2 year old laptop that was underpowered when I got it can play spore. Are you using like a 5 year old computer or something?"

Your computer can probably run Spore. It's not a very tough game to run at all.

At playable settings? If I was able to run The Witcher at medium/upper-medium settings would you say that I could run Spore?

:O!

No, I just assumed. I have an HP that is about 2 years old, Dual Core but it isn't by any means a gaming PC.

srsly?! Damn, I actually would love to get that game. I'm on my dad's computer right now so I couldn't put up my specs, but I'll try to use www.systemrequirementslab.com if that is still a legitimate source.

Is your laptop a gaming PC, though? I don't want to get my hopes too high.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I checked it on SRM on this computer which I believe is worse than my own computer and it said it would run. SRM used to have a bar that said "Minimum Requirements" and "Reccomended Requirements" but when I ran Spore on this computer there was no bar for Reccomended Requiremends. Rather, the green bar went very far forward but without the bar to show comparison.

Hm, that is good. It will give me something to do while my 360 RIP's.

*sigh*

Fuck you Microsoft, fuck you.

Your graphics card does support Pixelshader 2.0, right? I've seen some people with that problem before."

Ererm...

Thanks for the help everybody, you have enlightened me. I checked Brad's review again, watched Jason Ocampo's review, and read a very impressive user review on the Spore page.

Bottom line: I think I'm gunna pass on Spore! =P

Sorry to waste your time?!
