Written on Friday 7 October 2005 at 22:36 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The first two Podcasts were about the Sims 2 Nightlife and the Sims 2 on Consoles. This week Dano presents an interview with Shanti Bergel who produces the Sims 2 for mobile phones. Shanti first talks about the different versions that are coming out for different handsets. The second question is all about the limits of the platform, and how much can be put in the little amount of memory a phone has. He also says the game looks like the Sims 1, but has some Sims 2 gameplay and assets in it. Trading is up next in the interview, and the almost 7-minute interview ends with some things about the connected version. He tells how a Sim can be created on a PC and then downloaded to your phone, what Splendington is, what your goal is, and what the power of the networking system of the game is. All the details can be heard by listening to the MP3 file or by opening the podcast. Of course this all comes from the official site.

78. New Podcast

Written on Friday 30 September 2005 at 14:22 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has released a second a podcast. Whereas the previous one was with Tim LeTourneau about the Sims 2 Nightlife, this time Scot Amos, senior Producer of the Sims 2 on Consoles, talks about the game. During the 10 minutes, he mentions what's new in the game that makes you buy the game, and how you can control your Sims. Naturally Aspiration and their wants and fears are discussed, which are slightly different from the PC version. The Story mode and Free mode are compared. There's no internet play this year, though there is split screen. The aging that's in the PC version has been taken out, as according to Scot, it's not really what console players expect. Nevertheless you can create Sims that may look like teens or elders, even though the game will consider them all to be the same. Finally Scot mentions a few of the new features, like the direct control and the social interactions in that mode, the fashion and food games. Although the newspost has disappeared from the Sims 2 site, the RSS feed still shows it. You can download the MP3 or you can add the podcast to iTunes. If you want more information, then check out the official site's podcast help page.
