32. Sims 2 European Release Dates, PSP Pack shot
Written on Wednesday 12 October 2005 at 02:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
The European release dates for the Sims 2 in Europe were never officially confirmed. The games will be arriving the US later this month. However, the press site of EA UK now shows a new release date for the Sims 2 in Europe. The PS2, XBox, GameCube, GBA and NDS versions will all be released on 4 November. The PSP version will be released later, at 2 December. An American release date for the PSP edition, as well as any release date for the mobile versions, are still unknown.

We've already shown you quite some pack shots (and more) for these games on several platforms earlier, but a European box shot of the PSP game hasn't been spotted yet. Although it's not much different from the other graphics, it's appeared on Amazon now. As we don't want to keep it from you, you can find it below - with the 12+ PEGI rating printed on it.

All games can be pre-ordered from our our shop. Order there and support us a little bit too!

37. Scot & Virginia Mail #2 - Release Date Official
Written on Thursday 22 September 2005 at 21:48 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.
A second e-mail by Scot Amos and Virginia McArthur, producers of the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds, has been sent out. In it, Scot announced 24 October as the official shipping date for the Sims 2 on PS2, GameCube, XBox, DS and GBA. A little later the PSP and Mobile versions will be released. As we've heard as well, the connected version for phones will not be released until early next year. The two producers are touring through Europe, and of course The Sims Zone has also met them. You can expect an exclusive interview with both Scot and Virginia soon. Until then you'll have to do with the e-mail and the video included with it. That video shows some gameplay of the games on all platforms. Download it using the following links: Read on for the entire e-mail, and of course stay tuned for the interview!

38. Sims 2 Screenshots, Wallpapers, Videos
Written on Monday 19 September 2005 at 00:09 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.
A lot of material has appeared the past few days, all for the Sims 2 on Consoles and Handhelds. There are 8 screenshots for all platforms (except mobile), coming from GameSpot and the official site. The latter one has posted a fansite kit of the game, which also contains four wallpapers (two for the consoles, two for the PSP), and two new artworks (one for consoles, one for mobile). All those graphics can be found in the read more part of this post - just watch below, or click the link if need be.

As if that's not enough, EA UK has also released a trailer per platform (again, except mobile). All of them come in both high and low resolution, and require QuickTime to be played. Note that hot-linking (leeching, direct linking) to these downloads will not work. Instead copy the files to your own server or link to this newspost if you wish to pass on the news.

39. TS2 Consoles/Handhelds Screenshots
Written on Wednesday 14 September 2005 at 01:09 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.
After all the PC news from Nightlife, there is a little break for the Sims 2 on Consoles, Handhelds and mobile. A couple of days ago the official site updated the screenshots section of these games. Although most screenshots are old, a few new ones were posted as well. Although most of them are (very) similar to ones seen on other sites earlier, those are often taken just a little later, or from a different angle. We've filtered out the new ones and put them below. Just click the thumbnails to see the large versions.

40. Sims 2 Consoles/Handhelds - Big Update
Written on Thursday 8 September 2005 at 00:05 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.
The hype of the Sims 2 for consoles and handhelds is breaking loose. EA UK has released 8 screenshots and 15 artworks in total, as well as two pack shots for the GBA and DS version. The boxes for the PS2, XBox and GameCube were seen earlier, so only the PSP box is missing yet. Other than that, GameStop has posted all American versions of the box shots, including the PSP one. The quality isn't as high as the others. What you can see on all box shots is the rating. It looks like E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) for the GBA and DS, and T for Teen for all other versions in the US. The GBA and DS pictures are somewhat unclear, and ESRB hasn't confirmed these ratings on their website yet. In Europe, the GBA and DS versions get a 7+ age rating, whereas the console version has a 12+ rating. The PSP rating is not yet determined, but considering the US rating it's likely to be 12+. Here too, PEGI hasn't confirmed these ratings yet.

Other than that, Scotty gave us a link to videos at AussieBox. Hans ten Cate, the Lead Producer of the Sims 2 on Consoles, showed the game during EA Imagine 2005, an event where EA in Australia shows off the latest games. The four videos aren't in great quality, but are a good introduction to the game and show a lot of in-game footage. To prevent errors on the actual download page (on their forums), you'll need to register and login first. See the overview page for the proper links.

That's not all though. There are also many rumours regarding the release date. Although nothing is officially confirmed yet, 24 October is mentioned several times. As Tuesday is the more usual date for games to be released, the actual release date might be the 25th as well. The PSP edition will be released two weeks later, on 8 November, according to several sites. Depending on where you live, these dates may very a little, but the games should be released within the same weeks. Of course we'll let you know when Maxis or EA gives away the official release dates.
