Written on Thursday 13 May 2004 at 20:40 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

A couple of new screenshots have appeared again. There are 3 screenshots of The Sims 2, and another one from the URBZ on GBA. It's simple as usual, just click the thumbnails below to see the large versions.

102. SimDay [Update]

Written on Thursday 6 May 2004 at 21:03 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

This SimDay is, again, pretty small. Besides the MP3 we gave you earlier this week and has been posted on the official site now as well, there's also some information about next week's chat. With the Body Shop coming available later this month (the latest rumours say 10 May, which is next week), Body Shop Producer Darren Futa will be joining the fortnightly chat next week on 13 May. We recently received an interview with him from Maxis, and if you missed that you might want to read it again. The chat next week will be held at the usual time, 3pm PST, 11pm in the UK and Portugal, and midnight in most of Europe. There's nothing else this SimDay which means it doesn't really bring anything new, but that might be different next week. SimDays are getting less again, and if you're interested, you may want to read an old series of editorials by Andy, "Whatever happened to SimDay?" (part 1, part 2 and part 3).

[Update 19:20] It turns out the official site of the URBZ also got a little update. There are now two more descriptions of the "Crew" of the Handheld (GBA) version. You can read all about Darius and Crystal at UrbzSims.com (the Flash site), in the "Crew" section.

103. The URBZ: Site Launched

Written on Thursday 29 April 2004 at 01:04 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has launched the official site for The URBZ, the sequel to Bustin' Out coming to the consoles later this year. On this site you can find a couple of new screenshots for both the console and GBA versions. Besides that, Maxis also presents us the "Crew", i.e. some of the characters in the game. The press release and some general info, like a feature list, can also be found on the site in the "Details" and "411" sections. Although a "No Flash" version is there, it only shows the press release. So to enjoy the site and to see the new screenshots, you must have the Flash Plugin installed. If you visit the site and you don't have it yet, you will be asked to install it. You can find all of the mentioned things, and probably more in the future, at URBZSims.com.

104. URBZ Screens and Logo [Update]

Written on Thursday 22 April 2004 at 21:12 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Three new screenshots, one from the consoles and two from the GBA, of the URBZ have been published. You can see a typical city in the console shot, and the creation of a Urb (Sim) and a Urb in the city on the GBA screenshots. Besides that, the new logo for this game has also been made available by EA. These screenshots are the second set, following the screenshots from IGN last weekend. You can see the new screens by clicking the thumbnails below.

[Update 23 April 2004, 21:00] Our affiliate SimsZone an artwork of the game now. You can find it on their URBZ Info Page.

105. "Urban Sims" called "The URBZ"

Written on Wednesday 21 April 2004 at 20:39 by ChEeTaH - 6 comments.

As you know we already told you about Urban Sims coming to the consoles a few days ago. EA has released their official press release today, but instead of using "Urban Sims" as title, it will probably be called "The URBZ" (which is a working title). As said Sims will go downtown, but we will no longer know them as Sims. Instead, they will be called "Urbz". You will be taking them to new places and jobs where you can follow your Urbz around 24/7, even on the job. The game will have a completely new graphics engine, as well as a new character customization engine. You can dress your Urbz any way you want, and even give them nose rings or tattoos. The reputation (rep) is the most important. As your Urb's rep grows, and if you have an EyeToy for the Playstation 2, then your Sim can look like you. You just have to "download" a photo of you using the EyeToy to the game. The GBA version will, as said, be more like the GBA version of Bustin' Out. Read the press release for more information. Expect a lot more info about this sequel to Bustin' Out in May during the E3. The release is scheduled to be at the same time on all platforms in fall 2004.

106. Urban Sims coming to Consoles

Written on Saturday 17 April 2004 at 16:30 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

When Luc left Maxis, he already mentioned a new version for The Sims on the consoles, which will be released later this year. Now IGN has posted some info about it. The current working title is "Urban Sims". Urban because your Sims will be able to go downtown in this new title. As with Bustin' Out, the game will be released on PlayStation2, GameCube, X-Box and GBA. The GBA version is again different from the others, and will be developed by Griptonite Games, which also made Bustin' Out on the GBA. Read on for a lot more information and screenshots...

107. SimDay: New shots

Written on Thursday 8 April 2004 at 18:56 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

There's not much real news this week at SimDay. The real new stuff is about The Sims 2: there are 2 brand new screenshots available on the official site. They're taken outside in the darkness, probably during a party. Make sure you check out those screenshots. Other screenshot news is about the 7 GameSpy shots we already reported about. Finally there's a bit about TheSimsChat. They will be holding a live quiz this sunday. If you want to win a GBA plus Bustin' Out, or a TSR subscription, then make sure you read all the information about it. That's all again for this week.

108. Bustin' Out N-Gage Preview & Movies

Written on Saturday 13 March 2004 at 21:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Bustin' Out is coming out for the N-Gage in the second quarter of this year. As usual, gaming sites post previews, screenshots, and media. First of all there's a preview at GameSpy:

"Ruling over your sim and handcrafting the world around him or her is quite the experience. There are countless variables and options, so no two players will have the same experience. The Sims: Bustin' Out has already proven that the series can work its mojo on a handheld platform, as the GBA version was extremely well received when it released late last year."

They conclude with that this game may be the most important title for the N-Gage of 2004. As we reported before, EA thinks slightly different of it. Another gaming site, GameSpot, has posted some screenshots and 3 movies. Visit GameSpot's GameSpace page of the game for all their content. Finally, keep checking the N-Gage site for more information. We'll keep you posted. Thanks to SimsExtremos for the tip of the GameSpot movies.

109. SimDay Report

Written on Thursday 4 March 2004 at 14:43 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This SimDay comes with not too much compared to others. As (almost) usual, there are some new MP3s from Bustin' Out. This time there are 3 from the GBA version. You can click here to download the new songs, as well as all the 27 old ones. Next there is some news from probably the biggest fansite of The Sims in the world: TheSimsResource. They're launching a new easy installation tool for their site next weekend, and will be celebrating that with a Super weekend. Over 6,500 of their downloads will be available for free. Visit TSR for more information. Then there's news from the BBS. The first thing is a compilation of messages from user Pavlog_dog, who "peers into her crystal ball" and reveals secrets about Maxoids, but also delivers some recipes. Check out her posts at this page. Another link to the BBS is given, to a thread-in-rhyme. If you can say in rhyme what you'd like to see in The Sims 2, or read what others want, click here. Finally some Sims 2 stuff, which isn't really new. The official site has now also posted recent material like some screenshots and filmstrips. They've also posted an archive of The Sims 2 Newsletter (the Inside Scoop), with all the e-mails sent there of the past few months. If you aren't subscribed to the newsletter, lost the e-mails or just want to read them again, you can do so right here. That's all again for this week, more (including a Sims 2 chat) next week.
