2294. The Sims Deluxe Discussions

Written on Thursday 19 September 2002 at 23:27 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Recently, since the press release about The Sims Deluxe came out, there have been lots of discussions about it. Many - according to a recent poll at this site, a lot of people think it's a rip-off. But many people in the discussions had no objections to Maxis releasing the pack the way they did. Now The Sims Deluxe has been released, and a few people had commented on it. As said, there are some people like this person (WorldSims forums) who like it. Apparantly the Creator is worth some money (in my opinion, I still doubt $40 - which most people will pay for it - is really worth it). Also it seems that it loads a bit faster and graphics look slightly better. But as Davybear commented in alt.games.the-sims the extras are of the type that "Most of them you would not download if you saw them on a web site". If you'd like to see for yourself, then here (at Club MOTS) are some pictures. I must agree with Davybear that they're not too original and do not really seem to be worth 5 bucks for all of them. Even if it was all great, it still doesn't rule out part of the open letter about neglected Europeans: Europeans cannot get a rebate. At all. And considering the costs there are to make the program - probably no more than $5000 - after which the costs per package (box, cds and paperwork etc) are no more than $5, they'd need just 1000 sales of $10 each (with just those extras, for the loyal fans) to start making a profit. No doubt that they'll reach that from all the 6 or 7 million fans who already bought the game. As many people already paid nearly $200 for The Sims (if not more) it seems that Maxis and EA could easily sell the extras separately for a small fee, or even give them away for free to fill up some SimDays - which have been pretty worthless recently. Of course it's still up to you whether or not to buy The Sims Deluxe, but I do not recommend it. That doesn't mean you have to listen to me, but you don't have to listen to EA either...

2295. SimDay - They're improving! A bit!

Written on Thursday 19 September 2002 at 13:56 by Matthew - 0 comments.

Time once again for SimDay, that event when the official Sims website gives fans of The Sims a load of information they probably already know. Yep, I'm being cynical again. Anyways, this week they've got two little links for us. While WorldSims may have published the chat transcripts yesterday, the official site has them today. Whoo-hoo. Here's another quote from the chat:

'What kind of pet stuff can you get?'
'Most of the new objects in this pack are for pets so you will have plenty of shopping to do. Some of my favorite pet objects are the wooden cat climbing house and the fancy bed. There are baths, toys, scratching posts, litter boxes... everything you need to keep your pets happy.'

To read the transcript (again) click here. The other link is for another preview of The Sims Unleashed from Gamespot. It's even fairly new! They added it to Gamespot yesterday, apparently. If you wish to read it then just click here. More SimDay next week!

2296. Chat transcript

Written on Wednesday 18 September 2002 at 23:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last night at 11PM British time (3PM PST or Midnight Central European Time) a chat event with Jenna Chalmers and Jonathan Knight was held at the official site. Another site, WorldSims already has the transcript available for you. Here's a small snippet, about the new lots and its interface, of the chat visited by over 250 people:

"We used lot numbers 50-80 for the new lots. The new larger neighborhood will be the first thing you see! No need to push any buttons or scroll anywhere. Its all right there in front of you. Downtown is the area that comes with the "Hot Date" expansion, "Old Town" are the community lots that come in "Unleashed""

We also get to know quite a lot of other things, like there won't be any leashes, but you will be able to get collars for your pets. Also, pets will dig into garbage or in the garden just to amuse themselves. So make sure they don't get bored! The Unleashed expansion pack will be released 23 September in the US, and early October in Europe. Visit this page at WorldSims to see the whole transcript.

2297. Advertising in TSO

Written on Tuesday 17 September 2002 at 23:58 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Reuters has posted an interesting report about The Sims Online. It's all about McDonald's putting some advertising in the game, which they pay EA for. The same goes for Intel. Apparantly, EA needs to make more money from the game, and therefore they've decided to put in some product placement. Intel and McDonald's were interested because the game attracts many young players. One way that it'd be shown, is in the way that you can buy a McDonald's restaurant. As it's an online game, it'll be easy for Maxis/EA to put in future advertisers in the future. Something slightly similar already happened in The Sims when the Pepsi Drinks machine was released, although I'm not sure if Pepsi actually paid for that. The whole article can be found right here. Your opinion on this matter can of course be put in the comments of this article (only for registered members - it's free).
