281. HSN: The Sims 2 Video

Written on Friday 15 July 2005 at 04:15 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

During the Hot Summer Night event EA has given a video of the Sims 2 to the attending press. It's been posted on several gaming sites already including GameSpot and GameSpy. On the latter one you can download the video in several versions without registration. The video goes through all versions of the game with in the background a remixed version of the Sims 2 tune. You can see the Console, GBA, DS, PSP and even the Phone editions. Several scenes of all these games are shown, all from within the game. See the video to find out for yourself.

282. Hot Summer Night TS2 Screenshots

Written on Friday 15 July 2005 at 03:34 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

EA is holding its Hot Summer Night event again. Press gets invited to the EA Headquarters to check out the latest games, and the progress made since the E3 back in May. Of course that also means there are a lot of screenshots to get. There are quite a few of the Sims 2 on all platforms (except PC and Mac, where the game is already released). Most of the ones below come directly from EA, except for the first Console shot, the first three PSP shots and the first six Mobile Phone shots - those come from the official German site - and the final three for the mobile phone, which come from WorthPlaying (but also from the Hot Summer Night event). If you click read more (or scroll down a bit), you'll see thumbnails of all these screenshots released the past two days, by clicking those thumbnails you'll see the full size screenshots.

283. Nightlife Producer Tour

Written on Wednesday 6 July 2005 at 00:14 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

EA has released a new video in which Senior Producer Tim LeTourneau takes a quick tour through the new features of Nightlife, the second PC expansion pack. The video is similar to what people would've seen on the E3. He shows his own place, the Hub, and how Jesse scopes the room looking for hot dates. Tim explains that the date meter shows how well the date is going, and the time you have left. The better the date, the more time you'll get. The time meter still shows the "old" style, as shown during E3, and so the video seems to have been recorded before Tim's tour through Europe. During that tour a different date meter has been shown. Tim continues to show the Electro Dance Sphere, and he tells some socials appear much earlier during a date than they would in a normal relationship. After some slow dancing and lowering hands, Mrs. Crumplebottom appears ready for some slapping. Finally Tim takes Jesse and Mary-Ann (his date) to Jesse's very own car.

The video is about 50Mb big, and QuickTime is required. You can download it from this German page (follow the Download link), or view it directly on this British page (click "Find out more" to load it). Thanks to SimsZone for the link.

284. New Affiliate: SP Zone

Written on Sunday 3 July 2005 at 17:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As some might know, the teams of The Sims Zone and SP Zone/SimParool have worked together quite a lot in the background since a few months, and the relationship between the two sites has become very good. The Dutch site stays up-to-date with all the latest information about the Sims and Spore, just like the Sims Zone, and as of now we've decided to make the affiliation official, making SP Zone our third non-English affiliate site. We'll continue to work together to bring you the latest and greatest of the Sims, whether it's in the foreground or background. We're looking forward to keeping this going in the future, as we keep helping each other with news and more. So visit SP Zone for all the latest Sims news in Dutch!

Written on Sunday 3 July 2005 at 06:00 by Andy - 2 comments.

Last week, ChEeTaH went to see Tim Le Tourneau's presentation of "Nightlife in Amsterdam" and for those of you who haven't read it, I recommend you do it now. This will answer a lot of your questions as even though I may cover some of the same ground, this article is more of an expansion on that previous article.

What follows is my peek at "Nightlife" when Tim came to England. Read More!

286. Nightlife in Amsterdam

Written on Sunday 26 June 2005 at 04:43 by ChEeTaH - 7 comments.

We already announced we'd be meeting Tim LeTourneau, and yesterday we did. At a presentation in Amsterdam, exclusive for Sims fans and webmasters, Tim showed off Nightlife. Naturally we took home a lot of brand new info and pictures. About cars, vampires, downtown, content, and more - we got to know quite a lot. If your question hasn't been answered yet, then don't worry. There is one more opportunity for us next week, so if you have any questions ask them by posting them here as a comment, or drop me an e-mail. Any questions that have already been submitted don't need to be sent again of course. We cannot guarantee we will ask your question, but we'll do our best to get as much info as possible out. Read on for the details and pictures of yesterday's event. Read More!

287. New Poll

Written on Thursday 23 June 2005 at 02:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've added a new poll again, as we do every week. As Nightlife gives Sims their own cars, we're wondering if that's also the favourite type of transportation for your Sims, or if they prefer something else. Vote on the right or the latest poll page. As for the place where you prefer the Sims 2, which we asked about last week, almost 74% said the PC is the place where it should be. It's followed by the Mac with merely 9% of the votes. 12 of the 316 votes (almost 4%) went to the Playstation2, after which the XBox and the "It's not everywhere" answers were tied at 3%. The GameCube got one vote less (still about 3%), and the mobile phone another vote less (closer to 2%). Finally we have the GBA (1%), PSP (1%) and the DS (1% too). To get the results with a little more detail, simply head to its results page.

288. Release Date News

Written on Tuesday 21 June 2005 at 01:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've updated our countdown on the right again as there has been some news about release dates recently. Although a little late, The Sims 2 for Mac has now been released, and will soon disappear from the Countdown bit. More interesting are the rumours for Nightlife's release date. Several shops have put up the date of 13 September for the US. With 15 and 16 September already confirmed officially in some European countries (specifically Germany and the Netherlands, and possibly others too), it seems the expansion will indeed be released in week 37 of this year. The strategy guide should arrive not too much later.

You can of course pre-order the game and the guide from our shop, so they'll arrive on your doormat around the release dates. Simply go to our shop and start ordering. You'll support us with it too!

289. Object and NL Fansite Kit

Written on Tuesday 21 June 2005 at 01:11 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has updated the official site last friday with a new father's day object, the Nikko Lounge Chair, and a fansite kit for Nightlife. The object is a chair providing superlative comfort and design. For about a half Mb you can download it from the exchange, and see for yourself. The fansite kit is as usual packed with quite a few graphics. Among them are three pack shots, which show that the game seems to be released in a DVD-style case in the US as well. The new EA logo can also be seen on them, rather than EA Games. Besides that, there are some screenshots in the pack of which two are new, and there are two wallpapers. Click the thumbnails, or for the wallpapers the desired resolution, to see the graphics. Note that they might be very big, especially the box shots. To download the entire fansite kit you have to agree to its license, where you can find a link at the bottom. Besides mentioned graphics, you'll also find an info sheet and a trailer in there.

290. New Poll

Written on Saturday 18 June 2005 at 00:15 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As you may have already seen, we added a new poll almost two days ago. The latest one is all about platforms - which one do you prefer the Sims 2 on? Whether it's the PC, Mac, a Console, a handheld or your phone, you can let us know by voting on the right or the latest poll page. Last week we wondered about the average age of Sims, and generally that's Adult, which got 42% of the votes. After that was the average age of teen, with 22%, followed by Young Adult at 19%. Dead (8%), Baby (5%), Child (2%) and Toddler and Elder (tied at 1%) all got fewer votes. See the poll's results for details.
