EA sends out 3-D models of all creatures made in the E3 booth
In a move that shows video game companies still have souls, EA recently started delivering 3-D models of creatures that a few lucky people were able to make at E3 2006. A little after E3, we linked to a Joystiq article showing off some of these cool 3-D models on showcase at E3.
It looks like starting a couple days ago, EA started delivering these personalized creatures to everyone who got to play around with the creature editor. Signs of deliveries are popping up all over as well, so it’s pretty safe to assume that EA is trying to send these out to everyone who had the luxury of using the creature editor at E3.

Real gameplay video from EA
EA has released some actual game footage in almost full resolution. This isn’t any of that crappy camcorder footage - this is straight from the computer, with real sounds (The game actually sounds really good) and crystal clear game objects. No new gameplay (it’s actually very reminiscent of the E3 B-roll circulating before [...]
Updated Release Date
Well, looks like we finally got a more solid release date - and unfortunately it’s not looking so good. Wil announced to Gamespy that Spore is going to be released just outisde the fiscal year - meaning April/May’07. Almost a year to wait for the game, yikes! Edit: Wired has released an article saying [...]
