Seattle Post-Intelligencer has visited the E3 too, and they've posted an interview with Will Wright, creator of The Sims and SimCity. There's some talk about one of Will's hobbies, uncollecting, and of course The Sims 2 and SimCity. A new version of SimCity is mentioned briefly:

"Wright is already turning his attention to other projects. A new version of 'SimCity' is in early planning stages. 'We're about to come out with a new direction for it.'

"When asked what direction that might be, Wright said, 'We haven't figured out what it is.'"

Nothing new of The Sims 2 is revealed in the interview, but you can find out a bit more about what Will does in his spare time (in case you didn't know already). You can read it completely by clicking here.
