91. Sims 2 Console Designer Diaries

Written on Sunday 4 September 2005 at 02:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has been known to put out designer diaries on a gaming website for several games. This time it's IGN's turn for posting a diary about the Sims 2 on consoles. However, this one doesn't really reveal any new information and looks more like a short preview of the game, with a bit of an overview of all features. You can still read it, of course. Besides that there are also four new screens to take a look at - just click the thumbnails below.

92. Sims 2 Handheld/Mobile Previews

Written on Sunday 4 September 2005 at 01:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been a while since we published our first part of the Sims 2 Consoles special. With the Maxis event and GamesConvention being long gone now, it's time to look at the other platforms as well. The Sims 2 is coming out on PSP, NDS, GBA and Mobile phones as well, and we've got some previews for you. All four previews can be found in our TS2 Console/Handheld special.

93. TS2 (GBA, DS) Previews and Screens

Written on Monday 29 August 2005 at 01:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After the recent preview for the consoles, gaming site GameSpot has now also posted previews and new screenshots for the DS and GBA versions of the Sims 2. The previews aren't too long and don't reveal any new information. The thing GameSpot notices most about both games is that it's not at all like the PC version, but much more of an adventure game. Read the DS preview or the GBA preview for more details. The screenshots, some of which are only slight variations on earlier ones, can be seen by clicking the thumbnails below.

94. SimDay: Chat and Podcast

Written on Saturday 27 August 2005 at 01:42 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Yesterday was Simday, with the main event being a developer chat about Nightlife. That chat revealed a few new things. First of all, there will be several designs for driveways. Garage doors can be coloured using design mode, and at restaurants you can order Filet Mignon, Fried Chicken, a Nectarine Tartlette Dessert or Shrimp, and Crepe Suzette is a new dessert that Sims can make themselves. The ReNuYuSenso Orb allows your Sim to change their aspiration and turn-ons and offs, but you should beware of the Grilled Cheese aspiration... When on a date, if a romantic rival appears, you can fight them and, if you win, they'll stop bothering you. Cars can of course be stolen, but an alarm that you can build into it might help. Other than just bills, Sims can receive love and hate letters now. As for the Pleasure Seeker aspiration, one lifetime want will be to have a ton of dream dates. And if they go insane, they'll pull out a lampshade on their head and do a silly dance. For builders there's a new cheat which will allow you to change the roof pitches, so roofs can have different angles. New radio stations involve the Oldies and Classical stations. The biggest new lot is a 5x6 one, which will cost §18,500 to buy. If you want more information from the chat, read the transcripts, which reveal more (old) details.

Other than that, Maxis is starting a PodCast show soon. This on-demand "radio-station" (Wikipedia Description) will feature an interview with some producers of Maxis soon. Scot Amos, producer of the console version of the Sims 2, and Virginia McArthur, producer for the handheld versions, will be up first. You can now submit your questions to Maxis, and who knows they might be answered. For more information about this, see the BBS thread about the podcast.

95. Sims 2 (Console) Preview and Screens

Written on Saturday 27 August 2005 at 01:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

GameSpot has posted a preview about the Sims 2 on consoles. Along with that they added the four screenshots below as well. There isn't anything new in the preview, although it does mention the two-player mode a bit more extensively than other previews. When you enter two-player mode, the second player will have to create their Sim. After that, the gameplay isn't much different, except that there are two Sims running around satisfying their needs and aspiration. You can read the preview, and click the thumbnails below to see the screenshots.

97. T-Mail #6

Written on Wednesday 24 August 2005 at 13:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim has sent another e-mail to the community. This time he gives two screens of Nightlife, showing the day/night button in the neighborhood view. The team has put the finishing touches on the expansion pack, which quite possibly means that it's gone gold. Other than that he tells a bit about the fansite event at Maxis just over a week ago, where several website representatives, including me, visited to check out the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds. Scot Amos and Virigina McArthur, producers for respectively the Consoles and Handhelds/Mobile versions of the Sims 2, are also introduced. They will probably send out e-mails like Tim in the near future. Read the entire mail in the Read More part, as usual, and see the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

Written on Saturday 20 August 2005 at 15:21 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Two days ago the annual GamesConvention started in Leipzig, Germany. This gaming expo is one of the biggest public expos where gaming publishes and developers show off their latest upcoming games. Of course Electronic Arts is also showing several games, including the Sims 2 on Consoles and Nightlife for the PC. Several, mostly German, Sims fansites are also attending. TheSims.de has already posted some screenshots of Nightlife taken during the convention, in two posts on their frontpage. The Sims Zone is also at the GamesConvention and we'll post pictures and more in the next week - so stay tuned for more.
