754. The Sims 2 Delayed

Written on Wednesday 28 January 2004 at 11:52 by ChEeTaH - 29 comments.

Yesterday EA announced their financial results over the third quarter of fiscal 2004, which ended 31 December 2003. In the full press release there's also a bit of outlook on the fiscal 2005. This is what we can read about The Sims 2:

"We expect that The Sims(TM) 2.0 and Medal of Honor Pacific Assault(TM) will ship in fiscal 2005."

GameSpot reports that it won't even be the second or third quarter of fiscal 2005 until we see the release of the two games. That has also been confirmed by the official site, which now states that The Sims 2 will be released in the "later half of '04" in a news update. If so, that'd mean the game would be released between July and December 2004. Such a delay would be necessary to polish up the games, although it's probably also a strategic move to boost the fiscal 2005 sales. More information can be found at this page (Press release), this page (News Update), this page (IGN) and finally this page (GameSpot).

Finally there's a bit of news about Bustin' Out in the same press release: it's said that that game is one of the big games which performed well during the holiday sales, as the results of the third quarter of fiscal 2004 were driven by that as well as several other games. Of course we'll keep you updated about the Sims 2 release date.

The Sims 2 is one of the most anticipated PC games, at least according to IGN. Being so different from other games, the games press laughed when the concept was first described to them. Now, Maxis is "having the last laugh" as it became the best selling PC game of all times. IGN has posted a list of the 35 most anticipated PC games of 2004, and other sections of IGN have also posted their most anticipated. For the whole article (divided over 6 pages) click here.

756. New feature at TSZ

Written on Sunday 25 January 2004 at 18:36 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As frequent visitors of The Sims Zone know, we've been preparing a new feature in the past weeks, even months. After a lot of planning, programming, designing, testing and bug fixing, it's nearly finished. We're currently in the final stage, and there are only a few more things to work on before we will launch the TSZ Knowledge Database! The Knowledge section will be the place to look for help with The Sims. If you're a registered member, you will be able to ask your questions in this knowledge database. But: you will also be able to answer questions. Members will help other members, who are helped by other members again. It works similar to forums, except that it's more question-answer based. With powerful search features you should be able to find the answer to your question quite easily. And if you don't? Post your question, and as soon as someone answers your question you will receive an e-mail in your inbox. If you want to see it for yourself, come back next week when we launch it!

The January donation gift, which was testing this feature, is now not available anymore. Instead we've added two new donation files again, which will be the gift for february. Donate now and get that Floral Collection and that Funkilicious Love Bed right away!

757. SimCity 5 speculation

Written on Sunday 25 January 2004 at 17:33 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

IGN reports that recent speculations about SimCity 5 being in development should not be taken seriously. On French television, Maxis general manager Luc Barthelet said that SimCity 5 is currently in development. However, when Maxis called IGN Maxis stated that they "are focused on shipping The Sims 2 at this time. [...] To read anything into Luc Barthelet's comments is incorrect. [...] Any speculation as to SimCity 5 is premature". According to Luc in last thursday's chat, he also got "into real trouble." for saying that SC5 was being developed. As there's often some truth in rumours, and the job opening for the "Next Generation" of SimCity, it seems likely that SimCity 5 is in the works and that Maxis is trying to cover up at the moment. In the past Maxis also denied some Sims expansion packs when there were rumours about them because of pre-order options, especially Superstar and Makin' Magic. Of course it isn't definite yet until EA releases a press release about it, but to many people it seems likely that SimCity 5 will come to your PC in probably a couple of years. We'll keep you updated.

758. New Sims 2 shots

Written on Saturday 24 January 2004 at 19:20 by ChEeTaH - 6 comments.

Maxis has sent around three new screenshots of The Sims 2, this time showing three different decor collections which you can decorate your Sims 2 houses with. They are Asian, Modern and Moroccan. Click the thumbnails below to see the images in their full glory. Here's what Luc Barthelet has to say about the collection feature, which we already mentioned in our The Sims 2 University Special:

"In The Sims 2, decorating reaches new heights of style and sophistication. You will be now be able to choose objects for your Sims' environment from a dozen new décor styles. The game will include a variety of themed style collections that include Asian, Modern and Moroccan. The collections will include furniture, accessories, and wall and floor treatments from each specific theme. Players will also be able to add, delete, or create new objects within these collections or create an entirely new collection. We imagine that players will enjoy creating and sharing their own decor collections with one another. Who needs those home decorating shows when you have The Sims 2?"

There are 2 new Sims 2 screenshots from the Sims 2 Scoop mailing list that all subscribers have received earlier today.
