1282. Will Wright Interviewed

Written on Tuesday 26 October 2004 at 14:48 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's a well-known fact that Will Wright loves robotics, and it even got him into the games industry. His first game, Raid on Bungeling Bay, was the first step towards the now famous SimCity. A few years later SimAnt was developed, which eventually turned into the people-simulator the Sims. Will talks more about that process, in an interview with RedAssedBaboon.com. He said the Sims would either by a smash hit or an utter failure - and as everybody knows now it became the first, even beyond Will's expectations. He also mentioned expansions for the Sims 2 being in the work right now, and even mentioned the Sims 3 shortly:

"Although a Sims 3 is likely, Wright was hesitant to talk about details, saying only that the Maxis team leans heavily on what they see the gaming community doing with their games to help develop a sequel."

Read the entire interview for all the details.

1285. Urbz Gone Gold with new Screens

Written on Monday 25 October 2004 at 02:05 by ChEeTaH - 4 comments.

Several site, including IGN and WorthPlaying have reported that the Urbz has gone gold for the 3 major consoles (PlayStation 2, GameCube and X-Box), and the Nintendo DS. The GBA version went gold early september already. The game will be released on 9 November in the US or 12 November in Europe. However, the DS platform isn't released until 21 November in the US, so it's likely the DS version of the Urbz won't be released until then either. Europeans and Australians will have to wait until the first quarter of 2005 for the DS itself. Now the game has "gone gold", the cds/dvds are being pressed and packed along with the manual etc., so they can ship to stores in time. Along with the news, WorthPlaying posted the new screenshots shown below. The Urbz toys will also be available at the same time as the game itself, though they're still unconfirmed for Europe.

You can read our preview for some first hands-on impressions by me, or if you're determined to get it just visit our shop and pre-order the game.

1288. SimDay

Written on Friday 22 October 2004 at 01:38 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Besides the announcement for The StrangerHood Episode 1, there's something new available at the official site. You can now edit your MySim page, and give it a Strangetown look. It's black, and features some characters from Strangetown. You can also still pick the (default) Sims 2 or an Urbz look for your MySim page. It applies only to your page, so while surfing through the MySim pages you might come across all three pages. To pick your favourite style, edit your account (you must be logged in on the official site).

Something else comes from the German official site. They've posted a new (English) video showing you 5 reasons to live - linked to the 5 aspirations of the Sims 2. That, and an older TV ad, can be found in their videos section. Click the "High" link next to "5 Gründe zu leben" ("5 reasons to live") to see the new video.

Written on Friday 22 October 2004 at 01:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been Urbzday again, as usual. This week Maxis has revealed a bunch of new movies, but we posted about them earlier. You can now also find them in the Flix section though. They're for both the Console and Handheld versions. Brand new is the Neon East comic this week, by Dave Crosland. It's been placed in the Comix section, or you can go and check the comic directly.

Furthermore, there are 12 new screenshots of the Nintendo DS version, from WorthPlaying. They've been posted along with some of the ones from last night. You can see all the new ones below. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

1290. Donation Section Closed

Written on Friday 22 October 2004 at 00:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've closed the donation section indefinitely, as the new ads by Google are bringing in enough money now to cover all the costs we have. We would like to thank you all for your donations in the past, as we did need them back then. If you still want to donate, you can access the donation form and make a donation, but we won't be able to provide any donation files for you. The donations page has been up for about 2 years, and a definite payment to the RGA, the organisation we supported with any money left from donations after we paid our bills, will be made soon.
