Will Wright And Spore At The San Franciso Apple Store

(NOTE: If you wish to have a taste of what happened that night, watch the video. If you wish to find more info from the event, COMPLETELY disregard this video and keep searching...)

Here's the first 7-so minutes of a rare public appearance of Will Wright and the upcoming game Spore, releasing into the wild in September.

Note that it is a bit shakey as it was taken from a small Sony Cybershot, and that the hour-long presentation is cut off after the seven-minute mark due to the fact that there's apparently no video recording in the store, so here's the surviving footage of the fun presentation.

It was truly a fun time seeing Will show off his brainchild. It's really one of those moments when you just had to be there.
(and believe me, it gets A LOT more interesting after i had to stop my videotaping)

This was taken a little after 7PM on Friday the 21st of June at the downtown San Francisco Apple Store location.

For more about Spore, including the Sporepedia, Spore Creature Creator, or try out a bit of Spore with the Spore Creature Creator Trial Software, and much much more, see

And be sure to look out for more info at the E3 Expo!

Much thanks to Will Wright, the Maxis team, EA, and the San Francisco Apple Store for holding such a great, fun presentation to stir up the buzz even more!

( NOTES: )
(slightly better viewed in high quality)
(this video is annotated and includes some additional info, things that you may not otherwise see even in high quality, and other things just for fun. you know, pop-up video kind of stuff with youtube's annotations...)
(a completely captioned experience may be on the way if many ask for it if you can't hear it all or not sure what he said in one part...)

[Nymo]

granted, If it makes it through the final game...

[FRANKIELALALA]

avoid large thing sXD

[Nymo]

Wise words from Will... hah...

[RandalMcFloyd]

I sure hope there isn't an "end" to the game...or if there is it's just optional.

[Nymo]

Once again, Will mentioned this 'goal' to be only for the really hardcore gamers who wants more of the in-game achievements/bragging rights.

You don't have to do it, and it wont completely end the game...

[Redlightning7]

This game is gonna be so sweet! I can't wait to get me hands on it. XD

And LOL at the end. ^^

Security Guard: No video taping please!

[gears257]

he complates the cell stage so fsast coz he did it so many times how now an 4 r first time we will play the cell stage slowy an we might die

[slash12190]

no, i dont see why, seeing as you can start from any stage to begin with....

[override367]

I would imagine the main use for cheats will be when you restart and don't want to play the cell phase again, or you really wanna replay the tribal phase, etc

[socloseno]

lol speed hack the cell phase lol

[slash12190]

why would you want to cheat with this, i can understand other games but this is going to be amazing, save it, it will be the besst game of its type and time..
