94. Nightlife Developer Interview

Written on Tuesday 28 June 2005 at 14:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim LeTourneau is a lot in the news these days. Last week GameSpot posted an interview - written and on video - with Tim, all about Nightlife. In the written interview, Tim talks about the new features, like the pleasure aspiration, its wants and fears, career tracks such pleasure seekers are interested in, and more. About the career tracks, Tim tells that Pleasure seekers will like job hopping, and are often interested in switching to a new career. There are also several dining options in the new dining system, and besides the Gypsy matchmaker and Mrs. Crumplebottom there will also be a diva. You can read the interview for the details.

In the video interview, Tim talks about the same themes, but in different words. Nightlife is all about Sims having fun. The pleasure aspiration will tie in with the original game and University, and naturally it matches the Nightlife theme as well. Tim also says the dating etc. was still missing from the Sims 2, as it's something people do in everyday life, but wasn't possible with Sims yet. Tim also talks about story telling for a while, which he says is a key element in the game. You can check out the movie, either as free stream (GameSpot Basic account required), or a download for Complete members, of about 114 or 52 Mb. Finally, there are also three new screenshots attached to the interview. You can see those below.

After visiting GameSpot, Tim LeTourneau went to IGN/GameSpy LiveWire, together with Scot Amos and Virginia McArthur.

There's a lot of in-game footage in the video, which probably will be posted at GameSpot's media page very soon. However, we already have the details for you. Read on for those.

102. E3: TS2 Console Footage - with Sound

Written on Thursday 19 May 2005 at 09:54 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last night GameSpot posted a Live Stage demo, showing several versions of the Sims 2. The PS2 footage from that video has been cut out and has been posted on GameSpot in five separate videos. Different from the previous video is that these do have in-game sound. The videos are in a somewhat odd order, meaning that number five starts with CAS and the neighborhood view. Then you have to see numbers 1 to 4 in the right order if you want them all in the right way. The first continues the introduction on a lot, and shows the fire being started and extinguished. The second video continues where number one left off, and shows some socialising with puppets and getting something out of the fridge. The third (or actually fourth) video shows how you can create a dish by combining the ingredients from the fridge, followed by the swapping of characters as they are in the shower, watching TV, or eating. Finally, "Gameplay Footage 4" shows a vacuum cleaner being used to do tricks, and a little bit more socialising. All in all there is quite a bit to see. You'll need a GameSpot Basic (free) account to stream the videos, which you can find at the Sims 2 media page.
