301. E3: Tim LeTourneau, Virginia McArthur and Scot Amos at IGN/GameSpy LiveWire

Written on Friday 20 May 2005 at 02:32 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After visiting GameSpot, Tim LeTourneau went to IGN/GameSpy LiveWire, together with Scot Amos and Virginia McArthur. Unlike previous years, Will Wright didn't join LiveWire, as he's probably busy showing off Spore. Scot Amos is the Senior Producer for the consoles, Tim does the same but for Nightlife, and Virginia is a producer for the Sims 2 on handhelds. She already showed the handheld versions for GameSpot earlier. A summary of the show is in the rest of this item. It's unsure if or when a video or audio file will be uploaded with this interview, but we'll keep you updated with that as usual. Read More!

302. E3: Tim LeTourneau about Nightlife on GameSpot Live [Update]

Written on Friday 20 May 2005 at 01:23 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

Tim LeTourneau has spoken about Nightlife at GameSpot, as we mentioned yesterday. The biggest news: you'll be able to see your neighborhood from a lot, and won't need to see big plots of grass land anymore, and there will be rugs. There's a lot of in-game footage in the video, which probably will be posted at GameSpot's media page very soon. However, we already have the details for you. Read on for those.

[Update 20 May, 0:45] As expected, the video interview has now been uploaded. You can stream it for free from the Nightlife media page at GameSpot. Read More!

303. E3: IGN Nightlife Preview from E3 Floor

Written on Thursday 19 May 2005 at 09:38 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

IGN already posted their impressions of Nightlife from a pre-E3 show. They have now also seen the game on the floor and have posted their preview about it. In it, they start talking about the dating game. It's the biggest new gameplay element of the pack. They describe the situation with Lee picking up on a girl - two girls, in fact - and although he doesn't have much luck with the first, the second doesn't mind. The mini-game really starts when you ask someone on a date, and the date accepts. A meter will show up in the top-right corner of the screen. To fill it, you need to complete wants. Another new interaction to impress your date with is the slow dance social. Someone who has returned in the expansion pack, is Mrs. Crumplebottom. She still lives to criticise any public showings of affection. It won't stop your dates, who can eventually be going home in brand new cars. More detailed is the information that IGN gives about missing the carpool - you can actually come in late at work. For the details, head to the article.

304. E3: Sims 2 Live Stage Demo

Written on Thursday 19 May 2005 at 04:03 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Two people of Maxis have visited GameSpot at the E3 to talk about the Sims 2 on consoles. A video where GameSpot talks to Virigina McArthur, producer for the Sims 2 Handheld, has been posted to be streamed for free. The video shows the first moving images of The Sims 2 on DS, GBA, phones and PlayStation 2, all in about 18 minutes. For the handhelds the quality isn't too great, as a camera watches over the shoulder of Virginia as she plays, but for the PS2 version the game is shown quite well. Read on for the details from the video. Read More!

305. E3: GameSpot's Nightlife Impressions

Written on Wednesday 18 May 2005 at 20:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

GameSpot didn't just have an interview with Tim LeTourneau about The Sims 2 Nightlife, the second expansion pack. There's also a new preview at the games site. They give the number of approximately 125 new items in the pack, including a new light engine. New romantic socials include the dip kiss and the blow kiss, which can be done across the dinner table. Other news in the preview is that the pack has reached alpha status, which means it's feature-complete. It's mostly a matter of tuning and fixing problems now. Although for now the game has been set for release this fall, the article mentions "this summer" as shipping date. There's no exact date yet, so it's unsure if this is true, or if the game will perhaps be released late summer/early fall. We'll keep you updated, but for now you can read the preview.

307. E3: GameSpy about TS2 on GBA and DS

Written on Wednesday 18 May 2005 at 19:26 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

GameSpy is, as well as many other games sites, magazines, developers, publishers and others attending the E3. They've posted some information and screenshots of The Sims 2 on GBA and DS. About the DS version they say that the CAS screen is very detailed, and that the game is all about customization. The downside is that the connectivity between two DSes is limited to sharing content - there's no head-to-head gameplay. About the GBA version it's said the game focuses more on goals than previous Sims games for the same platform. As with the DS version, there will not be any head-to-head gameplay either, but sharing is possible through the GBA-GBA connectivity. The screenshot below is also of the GBA version, and was included in the article. You can find out more at the DS Preview or GBA preview.
