This week has been jam-packed full of gaming news. Not all of it has been mind-blowing (Nintendo/Sony), but much of it has been informative. There’s so many tidbits being discovered this week, it’s hard to imagine what next week will be like when there’s virtually nothing new getting announced or revealed. While many of us anticipated some

Spore related updates, I don’t think anyone was expecting to hear what producer Thomas Vu told Joystiq.

Producer Thomas Vu told us that the space phase of the game is what he considers the RPG phase, with 15 to 20 hours of gameplay and -- prepare to be floored -- one ending. No matter how your species lives its existence, it always ends the same way as you make your way to the center of the universe.

I’m not surprised, but I certainly do wonder why they’re choosing to have this game be the first in the Sim franchise to have an actual ending. This news leads me to speculate just what this ending could be. It’s entirely possible you get to a new galaxy where your creature is the basis for new life, thus not really being an ending to the game, but to that particular lifeform. Maybe your civilization gets the old dinosaur treatment, and you start all over again with the smallest organism to survive. Who knows? You just might fly your ship into a monolith and get stuck in some weird time and space bending loop of insanity. We can only dream. Stay tuned to Gamervision’s E3 coverage to see what we can learn about Spore.
