A look at the upcoming Console version of The Sims 3

June 08, 2010, 08:26:22 AM by Matt
GamePro has taken a look at the upcoming PS3, Xbox 360, Wii & DS version of The Sims 3.

Quote
"It's not a port," The Sims 3 console Producer Sam Player answers during an early look at the various console games. "You can't port a PC game to consoles and have it work the same."

Instead, Player explains that while they ported the technology and graphics to the various consoles, they adapted the gameplay experience of Sims 3 to play to the strengths of the different platforms. For example, he says that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of The Sims 3 "play to the deviant side" of players as well as Achievement/Trophy-oriented gamers. The town the Sims inhabit levels up as the player accomplishes more objectives in the game. Say you succeed in making out with three different Sims in the same day -- the town hospital will evolve from a local clinic into a larger structure with different architecture. The game also offers the quest-like Opportunities found in the PC version, but completing these on the PS3 or the Xbox 360 nets you not only an Achievement or a Trophy but also something called "Karma Points."

Previous News

SimPrograms was quick to report today that there is now an even better chance of the newest expansion pack being Ambitions because we can find it on Amazon. The "box-art" and four screenshots are currently up. I use the term box-art loosely because it seems very plain. Time will tell though.

This also goes along with a Facebook update from EA Singapore. They reported that there will be "some exciting news" released soon. Thanks to SimOperations for the catch.

The Sims 3 on Palm

March 01, 2010, 12:19:22 PM by Bat
Hey guys-

We reported yesterday about The Sims 3 being free for Palm Pre. Well, it turns out that there are two other EA Mobile games that are currently free. They are Need For Speed and Monopoly (as well as The Sims 3).

Also, it is reported that these games are free until the end of March. Time will tell...

Check out the article!
 

PalmPre- The Sims 3 is Free

February 28, 2010, 02:51:03 PM by Bat
Hey guys-

Not sure how many of you own the PalmPre, but if you happen to own it and you are looking to put a game on your phone...for free...then why not try putting The Sims 3 on your phone?! That's right, The Sims 3 is currently free on the PalmPre. I don't know if this is a limited time only thing or not, so if you are seriously interested, go get it! It is recommended to use WiFi to download the app because it is so big.

I think it's kinda funny how on their official site, the icon for The Sims 3 is tilted the wrong way.

Thanks SimTimes!
 

New Store Sets

February 28, 2010, 01:55:56 AM by Bat
Hey guys-

EA has set up a spot on The Sims 3 store for three new sets. The sets are Earth Day, Faire Folk Life and Club Vaindenburger. There is currently nothing in any of the sets, but I'm sure we will see something soon.

Thanks to SimOperations for the heads up!
 

February 2010 Newsletter

February 26, 2010, 09:06:58 PM by Bat
Hey guys-

The newsletter for February of 2010 is up. I didn't get an email, but Sims3Nieuws has. They posted a link to where we can find the edition online.

Not much is in the newsletter that we didn't already know, but nonetheless, here you go!
 

Avatar Set because of Competition???

February 26, 2010, 01:23:46 AM by Bat
Hey all-

As I was reading up on today's stories around the net, one of the sites I was on was The Mares Nest. Now, whether or not you are for or against that site, the fact is that they brought up a pretty good point that I haven't seen anywhere.

EA announced on February 23 that there would be a competition where you would design creative avatars and the best ones that were submitted would become default avatars that members could choose. Then, today, EA announces a new section in their store- one that is dedicated to your avatars and pages. Talk about irony. I've been against the store from the beginning, and that sure isn't changing.
 

Next Generation Consoles Far Off

February 25, 2010, 09:23:24 PM by Bat
According to EA CFO, Eric Brown, it will be a long time before we see any new game consoles out there on the market. He said this is primarily because of the fact that the current consoles out there are so advanced, that it will take a long time to create new technology and implement it into a new console.

The PS3 and xBox 360 are supposed to have a shelf life of about 10 years- meaning we shouldn't expect to see upgrades for over 10 years. However, the article mentioned the Wii, in which we may see a newer edition before 10 years.

EA: Adventure to Salt Lake City

February 25, 2010, 09:18:58 PM by Bat
According to Kotaku, EA will be expanding its offices in Salt Lake City. Why? Well, that question still remains unanswered. However, Ben Bell, Executive Producer with EA, has been talking about. However, he was not in the mood to answer any specific questions that could potentially give information about the project away.

EA Salt Lake is known more so for their work with the Wii and the DS. Because of that, many are assuming that the move to expand the office in Salt Lake City is to bring EA games to consoles.
