Spore Generates Buzz: 500,000+ User CreaturesSpore Generates Buzz: 500,000+ User Creatures
Although I would have thought different, apparently people are clamoring over the “hype generator” tool called Spore Creature Creator. “The best part is that these creatures will be part of the main game, Spore, as user content will populate a lot of the galaxy in each player’s game,” says Falcon at GameStooge.
Will Wright and the team driving the Spore game is right on target to create the hype needed to send this game into the top game seller. If TheSims woke us up to crazy sales figures, Spore might just beat the demand; imagine creating a tool to help create a world for your company and make money while doing it?
The Creature Creator, in my mind is a genius move to get people interested in the main title and drive pre-sales figures through the roof.
