Heavens.

[Mutley]

I'm actually interested, not so much in the game but if they try to add anything original to the title. Sims 2 was just an updated Sims, maybe this will be something a little different?

[Loke]

Quite excited for this, Sims 2 was fun. :)

[Minister]

Sims! I had every expansion pack and then they released Sims 2 :x

[AHA-Lambda]

I might look into this as I've never tried the sims and I've wanted to try it out.

[taviow]

The only person in the world who never played The Sims.

[AHA-Lambda]

No I know a couple of people who haven't played it :|

[taviow]

Well, it's just so famous. Everybody I know played The Sims and I can't even see anything so special about it!
And by the way, I was joking before.

[Qonfused]

Sims 2 was great. Yes, the basic gameplay was still there, but it added in so much more. I'm looking quite forward to The Sims 3.

[AHA-Lambda]

Oh right it's just that I know some people would probably mean that as the sims is so famous :|

[Vegeta897]

That jewel thing looks delicious.

Reminds me of those ring-pops.

[Qonfused]

That jewel thing looks delicious.

Imagine playing the game.

[ríomhaire]

I think they ruined the Sims with the first expansion pack, but I never played Sims 2.

[DEATH eVADER]

I want EA to do another Dungeon Keeper (EA owns the rights :( )

[Vegeta897]

Omfg, yes.

[Raziaar]

The sims 2... I got really addicted to watching sims music videos and stuff on youtube. But they were deceptive, it made me think I could have emotional sim relationships that were intriguing and made me feel sad and attached to the little people... but no.

Those little shits wanted nothing but to eat constantly, piss constantly, exercise constantly, kiss constantly, play constantly and sleep constantly.

IT BECAME STRESSFUL! SO I LOCKED THEM UP INTO A SMALL ROOM WITH ONE TREADMILL, A SHIT LOAD OF FOOD, AND NOTHING ELSE.

They were then allowed to eat, piss, exercise, kiss, and hopefully play and sleep constantly.

But no... they wanted to die instead.

[Absinthe]

I ****ing love The Sims. I remember coming home drunk one night and started playing it. And when my first child was born, I shed some tears of joy.

:|

And then you just remembered he was a pixelized three dimensional figure and so you stuffed him in the electric oven and then threw the oven into the love spa where he was conceived.

[Absinthe]

Now that you say that, a domestic violence expansion would be really kickass.

[ríomhaire]

An EA developed Dungeon Keeper would probably suck. Dungeon Keeper was an awesome game though. Bullfrog FTMFW.

[Druckles]

Is there not enough Sims to last a lifetime?

[Asuka]

Meh. Sims has more expansion packs then games that game out all of last year....

[Que-Ever]

I never played the sims either. Still not interested.

[OmegaX]

Sims 3? More like Sims 53.

[Russian Mafia]

I am very excited too see a Sims 3.

[theotherguy]

The sims were fun. Here's hoping the new engine is even more realistic and includes stuff like owning a car.

[Vegeta897]

Lol theotherguy. After the "Valve is singular" argument in that one thread, now you're referring to a game as plural? :laugh:

[Cavalry]

The only person in the world who never played The Sims.

I have never played it....


Why play life when you can live it?

[taviow]

Because in that life you will probably be happy, rich and/or famous.

[ricera10]

Because locking yourself into a 2 by 2 foot room in real life isn't as appealing as doing it in the Sims.

[theotherguy]

Lol theotherguy. After the "Valve is singular" argument in that one thread, now you're referring to a game as plural? :laugh:

As in, the Sims 1 and 2 ;)

[Jintor]

I'll probably buy it and love it to death like I did the Sims 1 and the Sims 2.

I'll hate it after about a month but until them my real life will be replaced by a digital one.

[Raziaar]

I have never played it....


Why play life when you can live it?

Because you can control life in a game? You have very limited control in real life.

[Pinkle]

The best way to play the sims is to make a bunch of different celebrities or fictional characters, put them all together in one big house and watch them. You don't "play" the sims, you build and create, then watch. :)

At least that's what I do...

[Bad^Hat]

Cool.

Could be good if what I've heard about it being more open-world is true. I loved the Sims for about a week and then got sick of it. Same with the Sims 2. I actually tried starting it up again today with all of my friend's expansions, started making the Freeman family with Gordon, Barney, Alyx, D.O.G... then I got sidetracked and just played Half-Life some more.

[Kadayi]

Sims 2 is a great break from CS TF2 etc. I'm quite interested to see what they add to Sims3 (beyond an obvious engine upgrade).

[Jintor]

TF2 Visual Style! :D

[PaoloM]

The only person in the world who never played The Sims.

I too never played The Sims :-)

[Zephos]

Some new information suggests a seamless neighbourhood, piss and eat meter overhaul etc. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3166813)

If that front cover is anything to go by, the engine hasn't been updated much :/

[Naph]

The Sims 1942 would be a whole lot more interesting :/

Hopefully that front cover is a lying sack of shit.

[Zephos]

Yes, because your male sims would reach adulthood and join the army and your women would be working in the factory all day for the war effort.

Features include nightime electrical lockdowns, building bomb shelters, raising your kids only for them to be sent off to the countryside and such leisurely activities as rounding up the local Japanese, Italian and German ethnic groups into internment camps.

I'm so going to make Hitler the father of Anne Frank!

[Kadayi]

Apparently there's an unlockable in the new expansion where in the producer of the Sims 3 drops by and gives you a PC game that has some footage of the new game. Here's the youtube of it. Could be bullshit, but looks genuine to me. If I unlock the unlockable anytime soon I'll try and confirm:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xTipLHIj4s

Seems to tie in with what little has been seen, and I'd say the characters look a lot more advanced that those in Sims 3. Separate clothing items rather than skins seems to be one thing for sure. With free time they introduced proper 3D jewelry, so it's not a great leap of imagination to assume we'll be seeing a lot more of that sort of thing. One thing I'd like to see is a degree of height adjustment for Sims. I realize that probably makes animations a pain, but it would add to the look of the game considerably.

[CyberPitz]

That jewel thing looks delicious.

Reminds me of those ring-pops.

/drools

That's the exact thing I was thinking.

We should get together and share one :)

[DigiQ8]

The Sims 3 first details (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=184503) or you can click here (http://www.emptyforce.net/blog/2008/03/10/the-sims-3-pcguk-scans/) for something even better..

[Raziaar]

I wish sims spoke intelligible English.

I *HATE simlish and it separates me from caring for my characters at all.

Sweet. I backed them up just in case. :E

[Pinkle]

Pff, Raz, you take the game too seriously. :p

I love Simlish. If they spoke English, it would get soooo repetitive. :/

[Raziaar]

Not if they had as much voice variation and phrases as they do variation of all other things in the game. Heh.

[Iced_Eagle]

You don't see the genius in simlish?

1) Less development costs. They don't need to write one script for each language they do, they just have one jibberish script and they bring in a few people and in a few days it's all done.

2) Part of the same, but you also don't have to add subtitles for the deaf gamers out there, because it's simlish, so why does it matter?

3) The beauty is that you decide the words which they are saying. They give hints as to what they might be saying by their animation and tone, but it's you who puts it together to decipher the action. Subtle, but adds a nice touch.

Just imagine if they were like "I'm hungry!" every few mins, or you heard the same english lines over and over and over... Since it's simlish and they vary it up every now and then you don't get as pissed off as knowing what they're saying every 5 mins.

Oh, and I got my GFW mag today. Anyone care for details? You have PCGUK scans above so it really doesn't matter though.

[Raziaar]

I understand why it's there. I just don't like it. :-P


And trust me... I know it'd be hellishly expensive and take up a lot of disk space, but I could create an extensive list of phrases to be used to indicate the need to eat, so much so that none of it would get boring and repetitive to you. LOL

[Saturos]

The only thing I ask of the Sims3 is that when the Bladder meter maxs out, there's the random possibility the Sim will shite him/herself rather than wiz on the floor. You know, have green fumes emanating from his/her buttocks. Also, a more advanced A.I. that's smart enough to acknowledge the fact the Sim shitted him/herself and makes fun of them for it rather than just saying, "Pheew!" while plugging their noses. Therefore ruining any possible chance for that Sim to have a decent social life if such a social structure is in place in this new title that is.

I'm so devilishly mean to my Sims aren't I? :cheese:

[Raziaar]

One thing I would like to see(and it's already been mentioned in this thread), is the ability for sims to physically beat up one another. To get into serious fights that could be fatal.

It would add such a whole new dimension to the world... Where teens can beat each other up... and if like a home owner gets in a fight with a burglar, it could prove fatal for one, the other or both if it gets a chance to escalate far enough or if they're in a place that facilitates such an event, like the kitchen with knives.

Also, domestic violence. Physical child abuse and Spousal abuse.

I think it'd be awesome if my sim could see this one sim guy totally wailing on his wife... and my sim comes to the rescue and beats the shit out of the male sim, and like some sort of drama movie my sim and the chick hook up after their plot to kill the abusive boyfriend/husband goes through.


That sort of content would be so interesting.

[Jintor]

What I want to see is not endless repetition of the same animations. Slight differences when doing said animations would be nice.

[DigiQ8]

I think simlish is cute

[Kadayi]

With the freetime I've noticed the Sims have a few more idle animations now as a resultant of thinking about hobbies etc. Have to say I like some of the new features in Freetime, esp the secondary personality options.

[Jintor]

I don't have the latest expansion packs. I stopped after Seasons - my computer couldn't handle the sheer amount of crap anymore.

[Kadayi]

UK PCGamer is out today and has about 6 pages on Sims 3, sounds like they've got some cool stuff going on in it.

oh really? (http://www.halflife2.net)

[Absinthe]

I gotta say, I really admire how they're basically overhauling everything. And I say that as somebody who still immensely enjoyed The Sims 2 despite how little it all changed. I can't wait.

[Seppo]

i've never played sims. never even tried. hell, i've never been in the same room with a computer that has sims installed.

does that somehow define me as a person? does it say something about my personality? am i a bad person?

[Qonfused]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[Stigmata]

Matt is rude, a daredevil, and shy. His neighbour Chad is grumpy, grugal, insensitive and inappropriate. When Matt goes over to his neighbour's house to chat, Chad turns away. Then he pisses himself. And laughs.

I lol'd. I need this game.

[Kadayi]

oh really? (http://www.halflife2.net)

Those are the ones, but I like to support the publications.

It's real. Not too sure what happened ingame to trigger it, but this dude turned up at my Sims Greek house and dropped off a new PC with Sims 3 installed on it with the footage. :)

http://thesims3.ea.com/

Sims site is officially launched, though the traffic is more than hectic at present. :rolleyes:

[Jintor]

Oh, Shit yes.

I can't say the graphics have improved staggeringly but any more and they'd fall into Uncanny Valley territory, but the create-a-sim options look powerful.

[Naph]

This game actually looks like fun,















to throw in the bin.

[Kadayi]

In all seriousness why bother posting in the thread if your not into the game style overall? I mean trust me I don't lie awake at night thinking 'I wonder what Naps opinion on X is?' and I doubt anyone else with an interest in The Sims 3 would either.

But then how would his E-penii grow? *looks at post count* Shit.

I think this game is looking like it will shape up to be rather entertaining, though I can't really open up the screenshots yet :(

[Kadayi]

True but it's just lame to post about a game your not into. I'm not into sports games, but I don't bother posting to run em down.

Try here it's a little less traffic intense than the main site:-

I'm just wondering how they are going to incorporate the aging aspect if there's potentially no downtime. Still I'm interested to see the overall direction they are going in. The personality stuff sounds pretty good, and that they are getting away from the showering/shitting routine is long overdue.

[StardogChampion]

Nice lighting etc but I don't like the look of the sims themselves. They look a bit weird.

[BHC]

I'll be buying it. I genuinely enjoy Sims games. I refuse to ever buy any expansions for them though.

[Saturos]

Am I the only one that thinks the Sims3 should have more random and realistic "bladder" accidents such as diarreah to completely and utterly destroy any chance of that Sim to ever get a date or any friends? :laugh:

Or am a just a sadistic freak that enjoys the misfortunes of Sims everywhere ? :|

Graphically, the Sims2 was pretty amazing and detailed enough, but I guess I'd be wrong to say it couldn't get much better, ammirite?

[Dog--]

lol, one time me and my brother made a house of crack-heads, they were all wierd looking and dirty and everything, they had one bed, with chairs around it, the parents would be ****ing while the 3 kids just sat there and watched, they had a stove and couch on the lawn, it was hilarious.

Then one day I made a serious character, little did we know that the cracks (that was their last name - the cracks) actually stayed in the neighborhood (we thought we'd deleted them), so here comes the dad with an afro, undershirt, and jeans on (he was a white guy), walking down the street, then he goes and LOOKS IN MY GARBAGE CAN. I nearly died laughing, I even got it on video!

A virtual crack-head went through my virtual garbage can! They're everywhere!
