CVG reports via PC Gamer UK that the first details on The Sims 3 have been scooped up by PC Gamer UK and can be found in its latest issue, in subscribers' hands now.
What's the first important point about the sequel is that, according to the article, it appears that EA's development team has established the goal of reeling in the hardcore PC gaming fraternity. You know, the one that's previously turned its nose up at what's been perceived as a casual gaming experience that appeals only to girls.
The second important point is that Rod Humble, creative director of the Sims label, wants to break down barriers in the series with The Sims 3.
As reported in the magazine he explains how the team "let Sims wander freely through a town, take in the sights, not be constrained by the prison-like 'lots' of old games. He wants to turn the game into an open world, where Sims can stroll, meet their friends, go to work, interact with each other. And piss themselves in the gym. It's GTA: Pleasantville."
A voice actor for The Sims spoke about his experiences doing voice work for the game's fictional Simlish language, and how there was no dictionary for them
The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.
Maybe you've got a favorite game from the olden days you never get rid of. Maybe you're a scrupulous uninstaller and you don't have anything from before 2013 on your pristine PC. Maybe you've got something from the 1990s taking up several whole megabytes you completely forgot about.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
I did have Loom but I didn't like it.
I've been replaying a bunch of old adventure games, lately. I had been playing a bunch of text adventures, but those are uninstalled now. At the moment, the oldest thing I have installed is Sierra's Police Quest Collection. When I'm done with that, I'll be moving on to Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and finishing with the best: King's Quest.
Is it going to be announced for the consoles ?? I know consoles had the sims, but they were different than the PC games. I want the same game on consoles ! :(
Looks like i might need to get a new pc when this is out. And oh, I play the Sims with "motherlode". Reason ? I just love building houses. I dont really play the Sims, mind you.
I thought this sounded cool, but then it hit me that EA was behind it. It's like that poster from Max Payne 2: "Everything I touch dies."
You will not get the same game on the consoles either way. I am happy The Sims is staying at its home on the PC.
I love the Sims but it won't be a day one purchase for me. I still need to complete my collection on the Sims 2.
Is this not a game already release called 'Second Life' ?
