The lights are on
An event listing on San Diego Comic Con's website hints at the possibility of a new Spore game. The event details read: "Video Game Reveal: Maxis Studio -- Maxis Studio (The Sims and Spore video games) has just announced their next project, a brand new, sci-fi action-RPG based on the DNA of Spore. Join key leads from the dev team, Thomas Vu, Paul Sottosanti and Lauren McHugh, for the first game reveal to the public!"
This listing announces everything but the name of the game. A recent trademark search by the Sporebase forums has uncovered a new EA game called Darkspore. Is it the name of the game we'll see? We'll have to wait until the event takes place on Saturday, July 24 to find out.

A sci-fi action RPG based on Spore? Interesting.
That could be interesting. Hopefully it is targeted less towards kids and more towards adults.
I really really really really hope it comes with the install-limit DRM.
I love that stuff!
PLEEZ BE 4 CONSOLE!
Sorry for all caps. I just want to be able to PLAY THE GAME (sorry again).
off topic poll: do you read the comments in ascending or descending order?
If Spore wasn't such a flop, maybe i'd be excited.
Cool! new spore game!
They're putting a sci-fi action RPG spin on Spore? ... Fail.
i like spore,now that there bringing in 2 of my favorite genres this will be cool. i will buy it but if it is like spore hero then hell no
sounds like an excuse for a half a**** idea. got the gameplay down now lets find some reason to recycle characters
I didn't like Spore. It was sickeningly PG and largely uninteresting.
Unless I can see monsters devoured each others' bloody corpses, then I'll pass on this one.
i didnt buy it because of DRM. I hate it!!!! ubisoft are morons for spending money on DRM.
it better be the 2006 spore and not the cartoon (ick) spore
Sounds interesting. I wish I could attend the panel, but it would be a "fun" panel and for me I think it overlaps with a more useful one.
Maybe they'll have a mature spore
YES MOAR SPORE
