Talk:Spore Galactic Adventures

Has the replacement of Hologram Scout been confirmed? I'm pretty sure that should still be "Speculation." Adeori 18:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

thats just speculation, sorry 4 the mistake 159.250.29.4 19:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a question. Will you be able to go down onto any planet all the time, or will it only be available for the missions? If it is a "sandbox" game, you should be able to go down whenever you want, too. Adeori 21:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

you can get out of your spaceship anytime you want. 159.250.29.4 18:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC

even in space?HerbisoarEmpire 00:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)HerbisoarEmpire

You can't colonize a gas giant; there's no land. They don't call it a gas giant for nothing. Tie-Dye Jeans 20:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope you noticed you can make a colony orbit a Gas Giant. TimeMaster 20:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There is land on gas giants, the reason that they can't be colonized is due to the high pressure from the excessive atmosphere. 20:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

A rare glitch has been discovered where Gas Giants are colonized by other empires, and White spice is shown in the planet's description. I expect that this bug will be addressed, but I don't expect the opportunity to colonize a gas giant.

As it is a rumour, I doubt if the expansion would include colonies on Gas Giants. It would look cool with swirling storm clouds, but there would'nt be much variety because most Gas Giants look very similar in Spore. Also you can colonize Gas Giants but you cannot collect or buy any White spice. Wormulon 18:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

In the article it says that you will have the ability to go to the planet as a creature twice, the first time cinfidently, the second time, not so confidently:
 * Little is known about the expansion pack, but one of its new features will be the ability for your Creature to move around outside the UFO


 * It is also said you can move about in your UFO, and that your creature will be able to travel on a planet, without using the hologram scout.

Could this be clarified and the redundant sentance taken out?--87.254.87.214 23:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Well some could be like planet Te from the halo series, an apparent gas giant that will crush you with the immense thickness of the atmosphere but colonizable because ther is a terrestrial surface underneath 159.250.29.4 15:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Guys, guys, guys. I think what they mean is a floating colony that orbits the gas giant, not a planet. That would be cool, I don't see why there's pushback.

It would be cool to have a floating colony around a gas giant. But perhaps you could visit a gas giant like you would with galactic objects. Also it might be possible to visit gas giants for real, and some have speculated about having areostats ect. Wormulon 18:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Even if they do make a floating colony in a gas giant, the questions are: how do you land your character on it? And what about the resources, what would be the sole purpose of colonizing a gas giant? I say a floating creatures would be nice (like Carl Sagan's hypothesis). Kelvino 03:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Its a glitch where you put a colony on a gas giant and get White Spice

Isn't the name of Spore Space Adventures, Spore Galactic Adventures? Perhaps the page should be renamed? Wormulon 21:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

If you ally with the grox can you take them to planets if there in you crew?--Frozgor 10:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I've been thinking about the whole gas giant colony thing... what about a space station in orbit around them?

why are the 2 menus in the wepons on the video?There is two becuase there are parts fo the origanl game and the second catgory is for the weopons added in with the expansion.

We will probably find out, but the 2nd menu might be pickup objects such as grenades (watch one of the videos on the page). Wormulon 21:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The second menu is probaly were you can accses the new parts, just like in creepy and cute. (Armageddon11(DANIELSJ14) 00:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC))

The weapons icon is not in normal Spore. I think it's social weapons and attack weapons. Looking in the Comic-Con video, this makes me think this is the case. >tmy2u 16:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems you can enter buildings: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/18527.page (read down a bit to where MaxisCactus is quoted. BalLightning 08:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

does this override creations/saved games?

Just for reference BalLightning 02:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Should the part about the flora editor be taken out since maxis said it wouldn't be in it?Omnipotentdracoptyx 15:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

We should keep the plant editor but state that it is not in the expansion. Players will be able to choose new flora. Wormulon 16:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

All the vehicle editors have a couple of extra menus in some part palettes. Maybye they added an extra menu because there were lots of things to do in the expansion so you need lots of different gear with special abilities. The button that switches to the next menu is the same as the first menu button. The buttons are from the same game,but this time they added a switch menu button along with an arrow at the bottom like they've decided to do in all the patches and expansions. Also,you'll notice that the creature weapons palette has the least parts in the entire creature editor(The cell and early creature editor has less parts though,and there are only three limbs in the early creator.),even after all the patches and expansions. EA and Maxis may just also have wanted to give us a second chance at getting in the lots of different varieties of weapons we don't get in creature stage. You can into and onto buildings,which must mean we'll finally get to go into cities as a creature. You can also make buildings float,which means you can can climb onto roofs and jump,too. Sounds fun. The graphics will get better,and apparently we'll also get to make MUCH cooler buildings,vehicles and spacecraft.we can drive land vehicles and spaceships,but it is unknown if we can pilot anything else. There are some new ability meters in the Captain Outfitter,which include an extra speed bar,two extra health bars and a big blue meter that I don't know the use of. Maybye a strenth meter. You'll be able to interact deeper with other creatures in space instead of them just running in fear of you trying to attack your hologram.By the way,the hologram is not only a scouting tool,but also for retrieval. If you walk your hologram up to a rare,some sporebucks dropped from a destroyed spaceship,or a crate of spice,you can move it around(This is the ONLY thing holograms can physically affect.)and also,if you wait a moment,the item will shrink into nothingness and drop into your cargo hold.The hologram,with some tribes,cities,crop circles,water,terrasculpting tools,creature creator,tweakers and some epicizers,is the most entertaining thing I've seen in the space stage. Galactic Adventures will change all that.Anyway,Galactic Adventures promises to be REALLY AWESOME,and I'm looking forward to it. Unless,of course,the final game ends up being cut until it sucks beans like what happened to Spore in the first place.Hopefully the real game will be as good as the demo. Yep. That just about sums it up.(Furby98 18:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC))

Yeah I'm pumped! This is gonna be epic! [Get da hint?] Nikacho 19:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

All I can say, is that this had better be good, or else. [No, I don't get the hint. ;)] tmy2u 22:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

What's bugging me is this: Do you think the simple missions like quickly fetching a plant or creature or collecting scattered rares will be replaced by complex adventures?I mean,they should keep the simple stuff in.It's nice having quick missions that you can easily get over with so you can do more important things,and it would be great if there were other cool missions that you could do every now and then added on so you could get up to some adventuring and fun when you want to.They said there were no changes to the normal gameplay,so they probably aren't going to take anything away.Just add on.[And I get the hint Nikacho. That's the button you press when you want to basically say"Yep.We're allies.Now I'd like to leave the communication screen,so farewell.] (Furby98 21:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC))

is it realy only coming out in may?ihope not because that would mean waiting longer to see whats in it.


 * Unfortunatly yes, it was delayed. OluapPlayer 16:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It was delayed in the US. Wormulon 19:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I wonder why they would delay it.How can it be delayed in the US but not in the other countries becuase it ships from the US?--196.2.124.252 10:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Where does it say its delayed?Omnipotentdracoptyx 14:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Because it's a unknown gaming rule that all good games come out first in Japan. As for Europe, they decided to feel nice and release it there first, while we get a new feature or something. >tmy2u 22:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think you are getting a new feature.I think there working out marketing strategies or something like that.the game is already made.--196.2.124.252 05:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * So has it been delayed worldwide? The release date on Gamespot UK has been changed to May, and also IGN says May. Had a brief look on the official site and couldn't see anthing about a release date either way. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 18:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at this: http://sporedum.net/2009/02/27/a-sporedum-exclusive-looking-into-galactic-adventures/ BalLightning 19:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

What? They said that you can only beam down during missions,not anytime you want.That sucks.Has it even been confirmed? Adeori's right. If it's supposed to be a 'sandbox' game,we should be able to beam down whenever we want,not be denied a deeper interaction with the game in space as a creature. If it is true,then,of course,the Hologram Scout would have to be left in so we would still be able to explore the planets surface on foot if we aren't doing an adventure. Anyway,please post something here if you find out anything new or interesting,or have any ideas or speculation about Galactic Adventures. I'm just dropping by,so I won't log in,but I am Furby98. (196.25.255.218 19:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC))

If so, then BallLightning and other modders will change it so that you can beam down whenever. >tmy2u 20:40 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I've looked at some of the in-game screenshots for Galactic Adventures,and I've noticed that there seems to be a few new Maxis-made plants.Are there,or is it just the original plants,but I don't recognize them from the game?I sometimes have problems logging in when I'm low on Net-time,so I cannot log in now,but you might know me here and in game as Furby98.(198.54.202.218 19:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC))

So now its June. Why. Omnipotentdracoptyx 01:11, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

There will be new flora in the expansion, not a flora editor. And we don't know the why for the delay, however they are still working on it in the studios. BalLightning 10:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

It seems that you can keep pets in this expansion. That might be nice,if you can feed it,play with it,socialize with it,take it with you wherever you go,fight other creatures with it and all that stuff. Of course,it's a bit more likely to suck like pets in tribe stage.They just sit around sleeping in a pen,just being casually lame,they'll lay an egg every there and then,sometimes kill people who try to attack you,but basically suck all round.But still it's a nice new concept and I'm REALLY looking forward to this game!When I read this article http://sporedum.net/2009/02/27/a-sporedum-exclusive-looking-into-galactic-adventures/ and also looked at it's screenshots,I TOTALLY HYPED OUT!One way or another,I'm gonna love this expansion.I won't log in right now,but you may know me as Furby98.PetPower!(196.25.255.218 20:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC))


 * Pets? That's AWESOME! OluapPlayer 21:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The UK gamespot page says March 20th, and the US one says June 23rd, why there's such a large gap between the two releases confounds me. There's nothing at all on the official Spore site to indicate when it's due, not even a rough date, all we have is the "coming this summer" at the end of the gameplay trailer, which is a pretty ambiguous statement.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 18:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind if the delay is to add more features or to make sure it works correctly, but if I find out the delay is for "marketing strategies", "to increase hype", or worse, "to show it at a game conference" when people could be playing it, rather than hearing about it, i'll be very angry. (the last is what Brawl's 2nd delay was for) Omnipotentdracoptyx 14:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Usually with EA it'll be time for fixing bugs, which upon fixing will introduce new bugs, meaning not only will we get a delayed game but it'll still be full of bugs and need serveral patches to rectify. Either that or they're removing as much content as possible so we get less for our money, meaning they can put it in future expansions and charge us even more. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 17:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Maxis is still working on the expansion, and therefore it is definitely not ready for people to play it. Many of the features like driving, cutscenes and others have not been shown yet, only talked about, most likely those are teh ones which are still getting worked on. BalLightning 03:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

BalLightning@ I don't remember reading anything about being able to drive vehicles. Do you happen to have a quote or a link? Kaploy9 21:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * So Gamespot UK now says June 26th. Seems like a silly move by EA, since a lot of the Spore community are also fans of the Sims and will probably buy the Sims 3 instead. Then again EA makes a lot of silly moves.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 13:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Is the delay just for the preordered games since preordered games are often delayed, and can it still be bought in stores on the 17th of March? Wormulon 15:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't see why a preordered game would come later than it's released in the shops, it kind of defeats the point. Generally preordered games come on release day or possibly a day or so before. IGN is saying May 19th as the release date.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 17:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Heres to lines about Vehicles:

From IGN:

It's not just creatures that can be placed, as both buildings and vehicles can also be utilised. Populating the world finally creates a use for the wealth of user-generated content that's in existence, lending some of the more lovingly created buildings or vehicles a purpose.

From Gamespot:

The game is currently still in alpha, and the team is looking to include yet more features before launch, such as the ability to edit other creators' adventures, a classification system in Sporepedia for adventures (difficulty, age rating, type of adventure, that sort of thing), and possibly the ability to drive vehicles in the game.

Also about the delay:

http://sporedum.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/galactic-adventures-delayed-again/

BalLightning 06:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

The US release date is supposedly June 23rd, not May 21st, according to Gamespot. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 16:28, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * How about empires that actually pay you something to get peace? As in where you need to pay tons for peace, but they just go "Peace, please??" with no money offer? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 16:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

What does that have to do with galactic adventures!?--41.0.16.45 13:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought that was a bit unfair too, we have to pay millions and they get it free, also they're always asking for help defending their planets but we can't ask for their help in defending ours. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 18:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I often get empires paying me 10,000 sporebucks a couple of times, and then they propose an alliance with me. Wormulon 19:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, usually diplomat or bard or any other social empires will gift and try to ally you. But a 10,000 gift isn't much really considering we have to pay millions for peace. Or the cheaper alternative; conquer their systems until they surrender.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 23:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Will the rest of your species look different from your captain and can he have his own name? and will the new tools actually be separate or just give spit, pose, etc? Omnipotentdracoptyx 13:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you can name your captain and maybe even others posse members in custom scenarios, also i'm pretty sure the weapons have their own category, how it will fit in to normal gameplay though is beyond me, that's if it does at all. (It better or i'll be quite disappointed.)Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 13:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

As the year edges on,we come closer and closer to the day of Spore's vindication. When Galactic Adventures comes out,Spore will no longer be considered some lame,simple kiddie game that is silly and sucks. Everyone will want the game after the expansion. A new spark of interest will ignite,and we will take our enjoyment to a whole new level! I'm looking forward to it LOTS! Spore shall become one of the mighty Great Golems Of Gaming! Hurrah! (Furby98 17:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC))

I do not think Spore is a kiddy, silly game, although Spore could do with a bit more gameplay and the stages could be longer. Wormulon 19:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually i'm not really looking forward to GA that much, especially if it's true you can only beam down on scenario planets, sounds like a bit of an anticlimax to me. Of course if these rumours aren't true, or if EA pull their finger out and give us some ideas on what we can expect, then i'd be appeased. If I don't like the look of it closer to the release date i'll probably get the Sims 3 instead, although i'm not really very impressed with that either. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 20:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

NEWS Well the 23rd of June is now official: http://sporedum.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/official-release-date-23rd-june/

Also a new video and interview by IGN: http://sporedum.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/ign-galactic-adventures-heroes/

Regards

BalLightning 06:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the link,BalLightning. There was some good information there about the integration of captains and missions into the online universe. I put them down on the main page with Known Content. You can earn badges for getting record scores on missions and lose them when someone beats your score,so that means a new kind of online competition. Also,your mission stats and captains are previewed on your Spore page,so people can see how you're doing on your missions and you can compare your captains,perhaps opening up some opportunities for 'Best Captain' competitions too. We're learning more and more,and there are probably still many cool features yet to be revealed. I was sorta losing interest in the expansion,and I was almost going to stop looking into it and just wait for it to come out because I didn't think we'd learn anything more,but there's still alot of things to find out before it comes,and I can't just sit back and not know. If there's any cool news on what's going to be in the expansion that will get me excited,I want to know about it so I can always stay excited and interested. Also,I went to Area51 Paintball today for a party. It was pretty fun,and it was the first time I ever played paintball as well. Does anyone here play paintball? Anyway,I don't want to stray off the subject,so bring in any good pieces of Galactic Adventures information that you might find. END TRANSMISSION (Furby98 12:13, 21 March 2009 (UTC))

Now its June again... But you can beam down to any planet. It will be worth the wait. And why is the flora editor in speculation? i thought it was confirmed out. Omnipotentdracoptyx 12:28, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

When the Spore GA expansion is released we should create a content database for our captains. Wormulon 14:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, so now i'm a little hyped up about it, now they mentioned that perhaps the missions will be intrinsic to space stage, rather than just a standalone editor and such. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 14:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Good idea Wormulon. I'm sure a captain database would be interesting. We can catalog a whole lot of cool captains and we'll be able to see some of the good ideas Sporewiki users got with the new ways to put together all the creature,clothing,armour and weapon parts. By the way,Viceman,what do you mean? Could you put it a little simpler for us? Okay,done. "Up,up and away!"(Quote from a creature with Level 5 flight.) (Furby98 16:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC))

I like the new images! Two apparently show an Epic Tribesman fighting the hero! This expansion is getting more and more interesting. So many weird and awesome concepts are being put into the game! This will definitely be a memorable moment in gaming history. There is even an image of a captain walking around near a city on a 'blank' world. Everything was white. And these are USER CREATED planets! There are even shoes! Not just a hat or shoulder plate placed on the foot,but actual armour specially for the feet! It'll be so SUPER DUPERISHLY WIZZING MEGALONIC AWESOMELY COOL!!! Yep,I'm hyped. I'm so loving this expansion,I'll faint after an overdose of excitement and joy when I get it! Any more GA info,anyone? (Furby98 13:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC))
