2142. The Sims on GameCube and X-Box

Written on Thursday 2 January 2003 at 21:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Rumours are going that The Sims will be seen on Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's X-Box. You can see so by checking out this page at ESRB, the US games rating board. There's a 'The Sims' in the list of titles, which is for the PlayStation 2 (that version will be released within 2 weeks), the GameCube and the X-Box. Also, a slightly older news post at GamerWeb says that "EA's Jeff Brown hinted that we could see The Sims on Xbox, saying, 'I can't say specifically what they are, but one would infer that Madden and some of the big hits on the sports side will certainly be in the early lineup. And we're looking at Bond, Potter, and The Sims as well.'". These console versions will probably be quite like the PS2 version: 3D and a storyline. Keep an eye on TheSimsConsole.com for possible more information in the future. We'll keep you updated here too.

2143. 1,000,000 visitors!!

Written on Thursday 2 January 2003 at 20:11 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

The Sims Zone now exists for more than a year. We've been counting our visitors since 2 February 2002, and had a few milestones since. A mention at the frontpage of the official site gave us a lot of visitors in April. Not long after that, in June, we reached our 500,000 visitors milestone, and now we're starting the year the right way with having reached 1,000,000 unique visitors within one year time. We are proud of that, and of course we couldn't have done it without you. We're now going for the multi-millions, and to do that we will keep providing you with what you've seen here so far. We have a few things which are in development stages at this moment, which you will see here sooner or later this year. Stay tuned to this channel for all that...

2144. PC Zone The Sims Feature

Written on Wednesday 1 January 2003 at 22:02 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

PC Zone UK has written a 3-page feature about The Sims. The feature starts with the initial plans, which were to cancel the game. They also talk about the joy they had during the development, they laughed a lot. For instance when pets started doing 'human' actions like making dinner - floating in the air. The story continues with the history of the expansion packs which were released so far (and another one might be coming up), and the difference in the reviews written in the US and the UK. To read the whole feature, or see its screenshots, go here. You have to register (for free) at PC Zone to read the article.

2151. IGN's first impressions of TSO

Written on Sunday 22 December 2002 at 23:20 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

IGN has been play-testing The Sims Online, and they have posted a preview of the game:

"Whatever the final result, the game has a wonderful concept, and when you read some of the ideas that Will Wright puts behind his game, it sounds all very interesting in an academic kind of way. Reams of data about friendship networks, geographic proximity, favorite activities, etc., are being collected here, and I'm sure it's all very interesting and exciting for him. And I wish him the best in his game-making, he is one of a handful of designers in this industry with both the clout and the vision to force through some genuinely new and interesting."

IGN will probably post a full review after their break, so some time after January 6th. This preview is also not in our review index, we're going to wait for the final review instead. You can read this first impressions article at this page.
