Europe gets Spore first?
Lukich | 7:15 AM on 02.13.2008 13 comments


This has got to be a joke. EA says Europe will get Spore Sept 5, 2 days before the US of A.

Not that I'm so out of touch with reality that a 2 day difference is going to really irritate me, but really... Why Spore? Oh well, savor it while you can. I'll be playing Brawl for months before Europe even gets a solid release date.

Why is this such a big deal, with the size spore is setup to be nothing major is going to get spoiled for people like what happen for brawl, it's rare europe gets anyway before the rest of the world, your just have to do what we do and live with it.

Gemsi summed it up nicely.

Did I make it a big deal? I didn't think I did.

It kinda came off like you did.

Good for the Euros. They deserve something first once in their lives.

I don't think I've ever seen "get's" before.

Lukich: 1, English Language: 0.

Bad movies always get released in Europe first... uh oh.
ajaxender's Destructoid Blog
Technically, New Zealand gets games before anyone else, if they have a worldwide release :P

Except that not every game has one... dammit.
Demios's Destructoid Blog
Not a huge exclusive, but fuck it, we'll take the 48hr bragging!

It seems ironic in a sense that we'll evolve first and then our Americans follow suit two days later. :P

they deserve it. Europe gets raped so frequently on release dates you'd think they were in jail for being a naughty priest.

I'd take Smash over Spore anyday. In this one instance, I don't think the US should begrudge us Europeans ONE early release.
Projectexodus's Destructoid Blog
So? Whats the point with this? Just 2 days? As a European I would've been fine having to wait an entire week, as long as I didnt have to wait months like we're used to sometimes. This post seems to reek of American-centrism if you ask me. "Oh my god! They're getting something before us!".

Releasing a game almost completely simultaneously is near impossible with such an anticipated game like Spore. EA obviously did what was smartest -- they're focusing on the biggest market first.

Guess it's pay back for pretty much every other game ever released.

 about me

My blog posts suck, I repeat post (a minimum of 5 times, even on my own blog), and then I hide all the entries because all I did was embarrass myself. I'm in the Air Force and stationed at Hickam AFB, HI. Its not as nice as you'd think, especially because it hampers my online gaming experience! Damn high pings...
