1072. Will Wright interviewed again [Update]

Written on Friday 23 August 2002 at 23:42 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Will Wright, designer of The Sims and SimCity, has been interviewed again. This time at GameStudies. It's a long interview, with many, many questions. Here's a small highlight:

"In The Sims people tend to veer off in a different direction. Some people go off into the storytelling thing. So eventually the metaphor becomes that of a director on a set. Youre trying to coerce these actors into doing what you want them to do, but theyre busy leading their own lives. And so you get this weird conflict going on between you and The Sims where youre trying to tell a story with the game but they want to go off and eat, and watch TV, and do whatever."

So that's why we're always shouting at our game when the Sims don't do what we want them to do? Anyway, the whole interview doesn't discuss just The Sims, but also some of Will's other hobbies: robotics and board games, especially the game Go. It also mentions The Sims Online and SimCity. The whole interview can be read here.

Update: Apparently, this interview is nearly a year old (5 Sept 2001) and has slipped through as new news somehow. Nevertheless it's still worth the mention. Thanks to Sumit for noticing.

Ok, I KNOW this is wierd, but I wanted a more flattering outfit for my snowy vacation lots without worrying about my sims freezing. The result: a fur bikini trimmed in ermine. :D

Written on Saturday 17 August 2002 at 01:25 by Andy - 5 comments.

From this hazy aerial photograph, here is the first view of the new Sim Brother II house. The compound is very well guarded but we have heard that the builders are still hard at work on the gardens and outside areas to make things ready for the housemates' arrival next Thursday. Stay tuned.

1079. The Sims Deluxe - Rip Off?

Written on Friday 16 August 2002 at 14:01 by Matthew - 11 comments.

Last night EA made a press release regarding The Sims Deluxe Edition. Fairly standard thing for the most part, detailing that it'll be out in September in the US, at a price of $39.99. However, that's not the worrying bit. No, that comes in the form of this paragraph here:

'The Sims Deluxe Edition will be available for a suggested retail price of $39.99. Current owners of The Sims can receive a $10 mail in rebate with proof of purchase. Details of the rebate and a rebate coupon will be available on boxes of The Sims Deluxe Edition.'

So for all of us who were wondering how we'd be able to get access to the minimal benefits that come with the Deluxe Edition, now we know. We get to save $10. The news just gets worse and worse for us Sims fans, doesn't it? Still, I suppose I should point out these details are currently for America only, and the plans for Europe could be different. If you want to know more about the press release, read on.. Read More!
