926. IGN's first impressions of TSO

Written on Sunday 22 December 2002 at 23:20 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

IGN has been play-testing The Sims Online, and they have posted a preview of the game:

"Whatever the final result, the game has a wonderful concept, and when you read some of the ideas that Will Wright puts behind his game, it sounds all very interesting in an academic kind of way. Reams of data about friendship networks, geographic proximity, favorite activities, etc., are being collected here, and I'm sure it's all very interesting and exciting for him. And I wish him the best in his game-making, he is one of a handful of designers in this industry with both the clout and the vision to force through some genuinely new and interesting."

IGN will probably post a full review after their break, so some time after January 6th. This preview is also not in our review index, we're going to wait for the final review instead. You can read this first impressions article at this page.

927. TSO Review 2

Written on Sunday 22 December 2002 at 01:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

I've found another review of The Sims Online at Games Domain:

"Even now that the game's in US stores, many pre-release bugs remain, such as the occasional inability to enter your own house, the inability to look around the neighbourhood, disappearing items, and increasing lag that slows the game to a crawl. For that matter, the game designers were still making major gameplay tweaks related to skills, jobs and money on the release date as they struggle to fix an imbalanced game. While we're confident they will eventually work out these issues, the game could look very different in three months than it does today. It will likely be nothing more than ICQ with 3D avatars instead of what most people would call a game."

I guess there are still quite some patches to come for this game when I read this. The whole, rather criticising, review can be read by following this link.

928. The Sims PS2 and SimCity 4 gold

Written on Sunday 22 December 2002 at 00:16 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Sims on PS2 and SimCity 4 have gone gold. That means the games itself are ready, and the packaged are all put together and duplicated. Both these games will be released 14 January. To celebrate, IGN has posted movies of both games. Two videos of The Sims on PS2 can be found here, and a 30Mb SimCity 4 movie is here. People in the USA and Canada can buy this game 14 January, Europe (and probably other parts of the world too) will have to wait until 21 February for The Sims, or 17 January for SimCity 4.

930. TSO on 60 Minutes II

Written on Tuesday 17 December 2002 at 23:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

"Don't miss 60 Minutes II, Wednesday, December 18, at 8:00PM ET/PT, when reporter Bob Simon takes an in-depth look at the video games industry with a spotlight on The Sims Online. The story features interviews with designers Chris Trottier and Will Wright."

Now I'm not American but I guess '60 Minutes II' is a tv show..? Anyway, this bit comes from the official TSO site, says it all doesn't it? It's probably worth checking out I guess.
