871. The Sims 2: First screens

Written on Thursday 8 May 2003 at 00:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The first screenshots of The Sims 2 have appeared, and they look amazing! The interface is quite similar to the version we know with the 'control panel' at the bottom (although none of the screenshots show it when it's open), and the queued actions at the top. However, the rest looks completely different, and: all in 3D. The Sims are in great detail, as are the objects and all the surroundings. You can check them all out right here at ToTheGame.com. Here's one of the 4 shots:

873. The Sims 2 announced!

Written on Tuesday 6 May 2003 at 00:31 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

EA Games has officially announced The Sims 2! At the website of EA Games there's a press release telling us about the main new features of The Sims 2:

"For the first time, players control their Sims over an entire lifetime. Every choice that is made has a relevant and dramatic effect on the life of a Sim. More life-like Sims, all-new gameplay, and the ground-breaking addition of genetics, with the DNA of Sims passed down through generations gives players a more vivid, realistic, and in-depth Sims experience. All of this takes place in a new amazingly life-like 3-D world."

The Sims 2 will also have a Create-A-Sim feature like The Sims Deluxe and the console editions of The Sims. Your Sim will become older, and if they get children they'll have similar characteristics as their parents. If there will be a feature like the "Get-A-Life" mode like the console versions is not mentioned, but we can hope for that. There will also be more than 2 stories, so you can build higher than ever before in The Sims. The sub-title of The Sims 2 appears to be "The Next Generation", although that's not specifically mentioned. However, every caption in the press release starts with "Next Generation". The Sims 2 will be shown at the E3 at 13 May (the E3 takes place 13-16 May), so we can expect the first big load of screenshots and info then (perhaps we'll see the very first things Thursday between the SimDay events). To read the whole announcement, have a look right here. The Sims 2 is expected early 2004, which means only 14 people (14%) got it right in poll held 3 weeks ago.

875. New donation files

Written on Thursday 1 May 2003 at 02:59 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

To finish off the regulars for now (after the poll results and SimDay), I'll tell you a bit about this month's donation files. The amount of traffic for this site increased with another 10Gb (total per month) in April. If it stays that way, that means we again have some increased costs, unfortunately. We can only afford those costs if you help us by donating. The more people who donate, the more likely we'll survive. We hope this month's file will make you decide to donate, as they are really nice: besides offering the files of the past 2 months (the February files are now put together with the free downloads) if you donate $5 or $10 or more, you can also download a nice garden set by Jen, a NeoClassic Dining and Chair, and a Modlamp by Sumit. Please donate to help us out. If we have money left we'll send off the remainder to the Restricted Growth Association (RGA), so it will never be wasted money, and we will definately not put it in our own pockets. Here's a preview of what you'll get when donating (it's the garden set):

876. SimDay

Written on Thursday 1 May 2003 at 02:50 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

SimDay this week consists of just 2 items (so far): the news that Superstar has gone gold (You can read the press release at the official site right here, if you prefer that look). Besides that, there's a preview of Superstar at IGN:

"Every morning along with the newspaper, you'll get a new tabloid that shows who's hot and who's not. You can use the tabloid to keep track of the top ten stars in the Sims world and track your own progress up the ladder of fame. The tabloid will also report on the various goings on of Studio Town.

"As a regular non-famous Sim you can visit Studio Town via a convenient tram that runs between the residential neighborhoods and the new studio lots. Famous Sims will instead be picked up by fancy-schmancy limousines. On the surface it works a bit like the extra areas in Hot Date. A new population of Studio people is spawned with your install so no two versions of the game will offer exactly the same characters."

That are just two paragraphs of an interesting read. You should really read the whole thing, as they explain quite well how some things work in the new expansion, and what you can expect. To go there and see the whole review, click here. To see some screenshots added last week too, visit the media page at IGN. That's it for this week's SimDay... but as it's still early some more stuff might be added later (or not of course).

877. SuperStar gone gold

Written on Thursday 1 May 2003 at 02:34 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After months of rumours, news, screenshots and previews (and development, designing and some testing behind the scenes), Superstar is now finished. The CDs are being pressed, packaged and in about 2 weeks they'll be sent off to the stores where you can buy them... If you live in the US anyway. European people will have to wait another extra 10 days. Here's a bit from the press release of Superstar going gold:

"In The Sims Superstar, players can now realize their fantasies of stardom and wealth as they pursue the dream of being a Rock Star, Movie Star, or a Supermodel and live the lifestyle of a celebrity. All new gameplay, new social interactions, and a whole new in-game destination offers players an all access pass to the world of superstardom. Players will even have the opportunity to experience real-life celebrities in the game."

Ok, that's nearly all of it... The rest can be found right here at EA Games. The release date in the US is 13 May, in Europe it's 23 May. It'll cost $29,95 like any other expansion pack, and it's rated "T" for Teens.
