I. Can't. Wait.
March of 08 is tentative. But way too long from now. At least Crysis comes out in December!

I really want this game to be good. Theres been a fair few "great ideas" that fell over badly at development time/implementation. But i do have hope for this.

anyone have any ideas on the computer specs. Unfortunately I was just under what Crysis requires

when everyone uploads their personal content, does anything you do to their "planet" have an effect in their game ?

I don't know if we're the right people to ask that question qruel. I highly doubt the Crysis system specs (or as I like to call them, "Things to put in your new computer" )will apply to Spore however.

You can find the system requirements for Crysis here.
My system will laugh at that game. Viva la self-built systems!

The game looks awesome.
To answer qruel, no your play will not effect other players. The only thing their system sees of you is an A.I. controlled duplicate of your civilization. They also gimp it so the other player has a chance to beat your civ in their game. So when they go flying off into their galaxy or whatever, they will encounter a copy of your civilization played by their computer. Neat anyway.
