Written on Sunday 14 August 2005 at 07:22 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Besides the video interview about the console version of the Sims 2, there are also a ton of new screenshots. The first seven console shots come from IGN, which has recently posted those. We got the rest of the screenshots directly from Maxis, at a sneak peak event held last Friday. Besides these screenshots, you can expect a preview of the several games in the near future here at The Sims Zone. For now enjoy all the screenshots below or behind the Read More link, depending on where you are now. Note that some might look (very) similar to screenshots you've seen earlier, but in that case these are in a slightly different camera angle or position. Read More!

A new video interview about the Sims 2 on consoles (PS2, XBox, GameCube) has been posted at GameSpot. In the video Alex Hutchinson, lead designer of the game, takes you through Tranquility Falls, one of the 12 story locations in the game. The world map is shown, after which the location is loaded. You see a bit of the story bubbles from the Sims you can communicate with on the lot. After that several objects, direct control, socialising and wants and fears are shown. Pretty much all the talk of Alex is accompanied by gameplay footage of the game. The video feature can be found on the media page. You need a free GameSpot Basic account to stream the video.

The book will be about Game Design, as Will confirmed to Mercury News in an e-mail. Wright gets a lot of inspiration for his games from books, but also films.

616. Focus Group Later this Month

Written on Saturday 13 August 2005 at 09:15 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

On August 23rd Maxis will be holding a focus group in the San Francisco Bay Area about the Sims 2. If you're a fan of the game and live in the area, you can sign up and give some feedback to Maxis about the games they're currently creating, although the newspost on the official site doesn't mention any game in particular. That means the game is probably for either Nightlife or the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds. For more information about the focus group and signing up, see the official newspost.

Written on Saturday 6 August 2005 at 04:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The official site has been updated with new Nightlife horoscopes for August. If these indeed reveal new features of the expansion pack, it might be that Sims will soon start singing in the shower again. Two turn-offs, gray hair and an out-of-shape body, are mentioned as well as the filet mignon dinner you can have at the restaurants. Read the somewhat cryptic horoscopes for more details.
