930. E3: Sims 2 PSP and DS Previews

Written on Thursday 26 May 2005 at 23:36 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Websites PSP Advanced and DS Advanced have looked at two of the handheld versions of the Sims 2, which are to be released later this year. The PSP preview mentions ghosts in a house that you'll have to clear out. All animations were taken from the PC version of the game, though the interface was heavily simplified due to the nature of the handheld systems. Other than that the game and story are briefly described, but there's nothing too new in it.

The DS preview has a little more news. The story is a little more in-depth, in that it says you start your own hotel and have to make it a five-star one. Meanwhile, you also want to uncover the town's (Strangetown's) secrets. The game will feature ten guest rooms, which will be fully interactive. Even PC fans should notice a change in customizability. Some of the hotel's activity rooms are also mentioned: a music room, where you can compose music using the touch screen, a casino, and an art gallery, where you can create some paintings and artwork, also using the touch screen.

Each of the NPCs in the game will have a mood bar, displaying their appreciation for the hotel. Their needs are replaced by one bar, though if a specific need is getting too red a warning icon will appear, telling you to satisfy that specific need. The same goes for the PSP version. The Sims also have taste, and might or might not like your music or art. The touch screen is also used for social interactions, as you'll have to press specific buttons at the right time to succeed in, for example, a high five. Failure will put the other sim in a bad mood.

931. E3: No aging for Console Sims 2

Written on Thursday 26 May 2005 at 23:24 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Website 1Up has previewed the Sims 2 for the consoles. It starts with a small introduction about the typical hot-selling game, and the Sims. The biggest revelation is that aging will not be a part of the Sims 2 on consoles though. Sims will stay the age they were born to be. It's something consoles currently can't handle, says 1UP, though next-gen consoles might do so. Other than that the preview is quite much like others we've seen earlier, and there isn't much news in it. Just read it for a slightly better insight though.
