1391. Maxis on the Move

Written on Thursday 12 February 2004 at 01:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis is on the move. The company that's been based in Walnut Creek (California) for years is moving to Redwood Shores, near EA's headquarters. Luc Barthelet has told that in an e-mail to the community. The main reason given is that space in the current office is getting scarcer by the month, and they simply need more. The new location "comes with a whole host of benefits for our staff, such as an on-site gym, cafeterias, a movie theatre, and most importantly – space to work and grow." Now let's hope the teams don't spend too much time in the cageterias or movie theatre, but Luc Barthelet guarantees that this won't affect the release dates of their games. However some sceptics might say that the release dates have been put back already some time ago... No matter what the real reason is though, you can join Luc on a "farewell tour" at this page. Fans can also check out an older tour from the SimCity 3000 Unlimited website, which is right here.

Written on Wednesday 11 February 2004 at 16:41 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Last week's chat was about the SimCity 4 BAT, and you can read the transcripts at this page. But Maxis is already preparing the next chat for this thursday. It will be about The Sims 2 again - Luc Barthelet will once again join the chatroom to talk about the upcoming sequel. All your questions can be send, but keep in mind that it may not be answered as there will probably be very many visitors again. The chat is at the "American" time again, at 3pm PST (11pm in Britain, midnight in Europe). There's room for 'only' 500 people, and it has been that busy before. So make sure you get there in time, the room will open about 10-15 minutes before the chat itself. You can enter through the official Sims 2 site.

The graphics have also been updated, and you can now see in which section you are as the item in the menu is highlighted. If you want to see it, go to the official site.

1396. Sims News of the Future

Written on Monday 9 February 2004 at 18:14 by ChEeTaH - 7 comments.

Everybody knows (or should know) that The Sims 2 has been delayed until the second half of this year. That can cause strange stories when the press is in a silly mood. GameSpot is playing with this recent news and has posted a feature containing (fake) news of the future. In an article dated 24 September 2005, GameSpot reveals details of another expansion pack for The Sims, the fourth after the first delay of The Sims 2: Playin' Sims. Expansions 8, 9 and 10 would be "Mowin' Lawns", "Doin' Taxes" and "Retirement Home". In Playin' Sims, Sims can sit behind their computers and play a game called "The Verts", a simulation game, to keep their moods up. They will have to buy expansion packs regularly to keep up-to-date. Sounds familiar? Anyway, read the whole article here. For more news from the future about other games, click here.

1398. Another Sims 2 Preview

Written on Friday 6 February 2004 at 13:13 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

Gigex has posted a preview of The Sims 2. It's not very interesting, and the facts aren't completely true as they say the game's been delayed until 2005 (while it will come out this year, 2004). It also doesn't come with any real news, but it's a nice read if you're bored for a little while. If you want to check it out, click here.
