92. The Sims Superstar - Confirmed!

Written on Thursday 13 February 2003 at 18:45 by Matthew - 0 comments.

News comes in from Eurogamer that the much-rumoured Superstar expansion pack for The Sims has finally been confirmed. You can read more about it in this news article here, but for now, here's a quote:

'The latest destination to welcome The Sims is Studio Town, a customisable hotbed of TV and movie lots, spa locations, recording studios and fashion facilities. Players follow their Sims to work for the first time, so they can schmooze with their agents, network and name drop their way to stardom.

'A new cast of characters includes a fashion designer, record producer and movie director, who will offer career critique, while butlers, sushi chefs and even a masseuse will all be on 24 hour standby to fluff pillows and generally pamper the celebrity Sims.'

News articles on the pack are also available at Gamespot and GamesRadar. By the way, it's nice to be back. If only briefly. :)

93. TSPS2 Interview (with more Superstar confirmation)

Written on Monday 3 February 2003 at 22:50 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Besides the reviews, there's also an interview about The Sims PS2 at a Dutch gaming site, Gamer.nl. The interview is in English, and it has one interesting answer to a nice question in it:

Gamer.nl: "What do you think about a Sim Celebrity?"
Mike Perry: "Hmmm, it would be pretty cool if you could make your Sim become a superstar, wouldnt it..."

That does make it sound a bit like a new expansion pack called SuperStar will be coming. Also, the gaming site ToTheGame has added The Sims: Superstar to their upcoming PC games list - and not the Rumoured one. That means it's very likely we can expect The Sims, and perhaps an announcement will follow this SimDay, i.e. next thursday. Anyway, for the whole interview with Mike Perry, the man behind The Sims at the PS2, visit this page.

94. SuperStar: real or not?

Written on Saturday 1 February 2003 at 00:22 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The question whether a new expansion pack for The Sims is still coming or not is yet to be asked again. Even though Maxis told other sites to remove news about Superstar, it seems that EA mentioned the expansion pack in a financial conference call. In that call EA told The Sims Online wasn't doing too well (and more about the financial status of EA), but they also revealed some of the plans for The Sims Superstar which would be due this spring. It would include celebrities, and they say it's going to be the biggest expansion pack ever. However, we can't confirm anything yet, as long as there is no official announcement. Once there's more news, it'll be here. This news comes from HomeLan, you can listen to the conference yourself here.

95. SuperStar Fake after all?

Written on Thursday 9 January 2003 at 02:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Despite earlier rumours which appeared to be true about The Sims Superstar, a new expansion pack for The Sims, it now seems to be false again. We first reported about it in December, telling a site in New Zealand had the product up as pre-order. However, the page now shows nothing related to The Sims or any possible add-on anymore. Also, Maxis has contacted our affiliate SimGateway to remove posts regarding SuperStar. Another Australian site is still showing it as pre-order, but that may be removed soon. That only leaves the question what 7th expansion pack Will Wright was talking about in a German magazine - unless that was meant ironically, like the Sums and the Sams. This makes it all quite unlikely again that The Sims Superstar will ever be seen again, but we never know. If this expansion pack isn't coming, then we might even get to see The Sims 2 in the shops by the second quarter of this year - they won't have to keep it (approximately) 6 months away from SuperStar then. However, as they will probably show it on the E3, it will be late May or else probably after the summer before The Sims 2 will actually be released. But then again, it could also become 2004... Maxis knows, we don't...

96. Maxis Lineup

Written on Saturday 4 January 2003 at 01:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis is going to release quite some games between now and the end of year or next year. It's quite a lineup, and here's a list of games we can expect:

The Sims for PlayStation 2 - GOLD - 14 January 2003

SimCity 4 - GOLD - 14 January 2003

The Sims Online Europe - In Development/testing - January to March 2003

The Sims Superstar (Expansion) - In development - 2nd Quarter 2003

The Sims 2 - Unknown, probably in development - I think 4th Quarter 2003, but don't be sure about that

The Sims on GameCube and X-Box - In development - 2nd or 3rd Quarter 2003 probably, unconfirmed

SimCity Online - Unknown, could be in development - Late 2003 or 2004

Only the first three games are definite, the fourth one (Superstar) is most likely true. The rest are only guesses at this moment. In a SimCity 4 chat it was said that Maxis will announce all their upcoming games between now and the E3 (which will be late May). At the E3 we will probably be able to watch The Sims 2 and The Sims on GameCube/X-box. Information about SimCity Online is only very vague, and it's not even sure if that will ever come.

 

97. The Sims Superstar: more confirmation

Written on Friday 3 January 2003 at 16:43 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

In a German magazine, GameStar, there's a 'nice' piece of information from Will Wright. His new year's resolution is to release a seventh expansion pack (that's including Deluxe probably) for The Sims:

"Nach Die Sims Online wollen wir im neuen Jahr etwas vollig Neues machen. Mir schwebt ein siebtes Addon fr Die Sims vor. Oder ganz anderes: Die Sums, ber das Leben in einem Bienenstock. Oder die Sams: Wesen mit Punkten im Gesicht erfllen Wnsche. Wie? Das gibts schon?"

98. The Sims: SuperStar?

Written on Thursday 19 December 2002 at 00:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Another expansion for The Sims could be coming our way... *sigh* It's called The Sims: Superstar, and there are some first rumours about that now - nothing is confirmed yet! At this page you can pre-order it. The retail price is $49,95 New Zealand Dollars, which is approximately 25 US dollars. Because the developer and publisher are "EA Games" on that site, it also seems to be an official pack. Note that this all is totally unconfirmed and it are only some first rumours. It could all be false. This would be the 6th (!) expansion pack for The Sims, not counting the Deluxe Edition. Of course, it could also be an expansion pack for The Sims Online. It's a matter of waiting for more news about it... if it's true anyway.
