A couple of pieces of EA news have had the gaming forums in a bit of a tizzy lately. Let’s clarify a few things.<\/p>\n
1. SimCity 5<\/em> is not being made by Tilted Mill<\/a>. They are making a new game in the SimCity<\/em> series and, it seems, will try to be as accessible as the original SimCity<\/em> was. But SimCity: Societies<\/em> is not SimCity 5<\/em>. (This month’s GFW has a photo-filled preview from Ryan Scott that outlines what is different and why.)<\/p>\n 2. Spore<\/em> is not definitely delayed until 2009<\/a>. It is moved to Fiscal Year 2009<\/a> – which starts in spring 2008. (The date in a FY refers to when it ends, not when it begins.) It was widely assumed that Spore would be a 2008 title in any case, so this “announcement” is not really news.<\/p>\n I now return you to your regularly scheduled gaming freakout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A couple of pieces of EA news have had the gaming forums in a bit of a tizzy lately.
