461. The Sims: The Island for Next-Gen?

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 00:16 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

With the Playstation 3 and Nintendo's Wii being released soon, EA is working on a massive multiplayer online world, featuring at least three titles. At least that's what rumours tell, according to GamersReports. That website has posted a press release which has been removed by EA again, and thus is more of a rumour than anything else so far. The world, called "The Island" would feature at least Need for Speed, Theme Park and the Sims. These games would be released at 14 November according to the press release, which keeping in mind it's almost October already is extremely quick for such a big release, making it less realistic. The Sims game would feature offline story and free play modes, as well as an online free play mode. The story can be played split-screen or online as well. Somewhat similar to Vacation (On Holiday) for the Sims 1, the game is set in the mountains, the coast, or in a city. It's said to be released on Playstation 3, XBox 360 and Nintendo's Wii, as well as the PC. Considering the upcoming Pets release on PC as well, it seems November is too early for this game. Altogether it's all more of a rumour than anything else at this moment, but of course if more news is being released by EA we'll let you know. For now check the GamersReports article for some more details.

462. Foreign Pets Reports

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 00:03 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Some producers of the Sims 2 Pets, coming out for PC, Consoles and Handhelds next month, have been touring Europe again to show off the new Sims title to press and fans. The result are a couple of reports with screenshots and videos on various European sites. First of all the Spanish CapitalSims has posted some screenshots and videos in their forums. From Italy comes a report (in English) of the PC, Console and NDS versions of the game, including some videos, screenshots, and an interview with Sam Player and Ben Bell. In that they talk about the differences with Unleashed, Creating pets, the personality of animals, the Kibble of Life (which is like Elixir for pets), and that there won't be new Sims clothes. Also, contrary to earlier reports, it will not be possible to have pets at university, according to the interview. For more details read the complete interview.

Another website with a couple of videos made from a presentation is Tecnosims. In Germany both Cynamite and PC Games posted screenshots of the PC expansion pack. Over at Sims2Community somebody has also received a review version of the expansion pack, and so far there are two reports with a bunch of screenshots. Check out part one and part two for the links to all the screenshots.

464. New Christmas Pack and Bundle

Written on Wednesday 20 September 2006 at 22:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Like last year, Maxis is releasing a special pack in the spirit of Christmas. The "Happy Holiday Stuff" is a new stuff pack, which will contain 60 holiday related items, according to the official Dutch site - 20 more than the Christmas/Holiday Party Pack that was released almost a year ago. The contents of the stuff pack looks largely similar to last year's pack though, judging from the box art posted by several European sites. The boxes below are from the Dutch site, and are pretty much the largest versions yet online.

Besides the stuff pack, a Holiday Edition of the Sims 2 is also being released again. This second holiday edition combines the base game of the Sims 2, along with the Happy Holiday Stuff pack. Some online shops have 7 November listed as release date of the stuff pack. The bundle will probably come at the same date. Prices will be in the usual range: around £10 (or roughly $20) for the stuff pack, and £30 ($50) for the Holiday Edition. Maxis promises more info on the official website soon, and of course we'll be telling you all about the pack as we get to know more.

466. Rumour: The Sims 2: In Season

Written on Wednesday 20 September 2006 at 00:51 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Over the weekend an interesting rumour was caused by the Game Registration page of EA. In the list of games an unknown Sims game was mentioned: The Sims 2: In Season. Although the item has been removed already, there is still a (locked) thread in the official site's BBS about it, in which MaxoidDrea replies that the "game doesn't exist and shouldn't be there." Whether that's merely a cover-up or if "In Season" is indeed an upcoming PC expansion pack (since it was listed under the PC games), time will tell. Of course we'll keep you up-to-date with all the latest news about it, if anything follows in the future.

Maxis has revealed another game secret recently. Three songs from the game have been picked as favourite, and their lyrics are now posted on a special Lyrics page. The songs are "Very Very Rich Town" by Go Betty Bo, Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" and "I Play Chicken with a Train" by Cowboy Troy. The lyrics in Simlish allow you to sing along with the songs as they play on your Sims' radio. Check out the lyrics for all the song details.

468. Music Artists in Pets

Written on Wednesday 20 September 2006 at 00:43 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

That real-life artists make an appearance in the Sims is not a first. The Sims 2 Pets, the upcoming expansion pack and console games, will also feature several famous artists. Aly and AJ already made a video earlier, but now EA has announced the names of others who participate in the new game. Besides Aly and AJ the soundtrack of the PC and console games will feature The Flaming Lips ("Free Radicals"), Hot Chip (Consoles only, "Colours" and "So Glad to See You") and the Pussycat Dolls ("Don't Cha"). The complete soundtrack consists of 26 songs by 24 bands, also from Italy, Finland, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. 4 Of the songs appear only on the console (PS2, GameCube) edition of the game, the rest is also in the PC expansion pack. The entire list of songs can be found in the press release, which quotes the Pussycat Dolls about their Simlish recording experience, as well as on GameSpot which quotes the Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne. Of course all songs have been re-recorded in Simlish.

469. Pets Pre-Order Bonuses

Written on Wednesday 20 September 2006 at 00:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As usual with Sims expansion pack pre-orders, EA is giving away various different items again when you purchase the upcoming PC expansion pack, The Sims 2 Pets, at various (online) stores. This time however, the items can also be unlocked on the console (PS2 and GameCube) editions of the game. There's a choice of either a bandit cat, or a purple pug (dog), one of which you'll get depending on what shop you pre-order the pack at. Game.co.uk in the UK, and in the US GameStop (EBGames) and CompUSA deliver the bandit cat as unlockable bonus item. Those who want the purple pug can order it from Amazon UK or Amazon US, or directly through our shop. Below you can find small pictures of the bonus items. Note that these offers are available only for the PC, PS2 and GameCube editions of the game.

470. Sims 2 Pets Preview and Screenshots at 1Up [Update]

Written on Tuesday 19 September 2006 at 23:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A preview of the Sims 2 Pets was posted at gaming site 1Up shortly after the GamesConvention in Leipzig, Germany, last month. A little bit of news they do bring, is that your pet's feeding and exercising habits don't impact the looks of the animal in any way. They also verify that dogs and cats can't burn to death. In fact, dogs tend to eat from dirty litter boxes, as 1Up noticed during the fire experiment. To read all about it, check out the full preview.

[Update 22:30] The three PC screenshots below were also posted at 1Up. Click the thumbnails to see them in their full size.
