31. TS3 Online features officially announced

Written on Thursday 30 April 2009 at 15:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Although not really new, EA has issued a press release today about the online features of The Sims 3. A Sims 3 store where you can purchase new items, similar to the Sims 2 store, will be launched with the game. The game itself will ship with $10 credit for that store, good for 1000 Simpoints. Afterwards credit can be purchased in batches of 200, 500 or 1000 points. The launcher of the game will use the Internet to promote the official website, showing news and information, the store, promotions and more. The official site will be relaunched and become the full hub for sharing items, stories et cetera of the Sims 3. Major part is the video creation tool. You can take videos from within the game, and edit them online, similar to the (closing down) Sims on Stage. The best news from all this is that a second neighborhood, Riverview, will be available for download from the website at the launch of the game, 2 June on PC, Mac and iPhone. Read on for the full press release. Read More!

32. Easter Bunny Stuff Pack Announced [Update]

Written on Wednesday 1 April 2009 at 10:23 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Today EA announced a new stuff pack: Easter Bunny Stuff. Just over a week before easter, EA has announced this latest stuff pack for the Sims 2. With the delay for the Sims 3, fans complained a lot about the long time between the last pack for the Sims 2 (Mansion and Garden Stuff) and the release of the sequel. Tim LeTourneau, producer of The Sims 2 and the first couple of expansion packs, has taken some time off MySims for the Easter Bunny Stuff intermission. In the press release he is quoted: "Fans are dying to get more content for their Sims 2 games from EA. Easter Bunny Stuff will be a great addition to fill just that need, with new characters and special foods." The pack is said to contain roughly 60 items, among which are Easter Bunny clothes and new breakfast meals: boiled egg, traditional eggs benedict and chocolate easter egg. Furthermore you can find lots of colorful decorational items in the pack, combined with a new "Hide and Seek Easter Egg" interaction. Of course, Mr. Easter Bunny himself will also make his appearance. Time to decide is short: the pack will be in stores next week, right in time for Easter.

[Update] Of course all of the above is fake, an April Fools joke by us, SimsNetwork, DMS2C, SimParool and Sims3Nieuws. Don't rush to the stores next week to get this pack, you won't find it. And the screenshots below? Staged, thanks to Sims unclogging toilets in Bunny suits. We hope you had a laugh, even a Maxoid fell for it!

33. The Sims 3: 2 June 2009

Written on Tuesday 3 February 2009 at 20:55 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

According to our affiliates at WorldSims The Sims 3 has been delayed until June 2 of this year. Apparently a press release went up on the official Sims 3 site earlier today, which got removed again shortly thereafter. More definite news is expected in about an hour (2PM PST), during EA's quarterly conference call, but it looks like 2 June will in fact be the date. The information seems genuine. Simultaneous to the PC release, the Sims 3 will be out on Mac, iPhone/iPod Touch and mobile. Note that 2 June is the US release date: in other countries the game may be released a few days later. We expect the UK and most of Europe to get the game at Friday 5 June.

[Update] It's official, the press release is out. Read more here. During the conference call EA CEO John Riccitiello remarked that in the last quarter, EA's titles did not perform as expected. As stated in the press release, EA wants to raise more awareness for The Sims 3 in the extra development time. EA will launch a worldwide marketing campaign that The Sims 3 deserves, according to Riccitiello. This falls in place with a new strategy to invest more time and effort to be really innovative with the marketing. The move of The Sims 3 (and other EA titles) means that instead of fiscal year '09, the game will be out in fiscal year '10 (April 2009 to March 2010). EA does believe that The Sims 3 is the most important title of fiscal 2010.

Along with this news, EA has published three new screenshots and a trailer, as well as a new box shot for the regular and the collector's edition. The first box shows that the PC and Mac versions will both be on the same disc. Click the thumbnails below for large versions.

34. The Sims 3 Release - Delays Possible

Written on Wednesday 28 January 2009 at 02:45 by Andy - 0 comments.

For those expecting the newest version of The Sims to be here in under a month, it seems to be that this will not be the case. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that is how things look. EA has issued the following statement.

"We are evaluating the launch window. The game looks great and in the near future we'll have more information."

How late it is going to be delayed is anyone's guess at this time and at TSZ, we will be keeping track and informing you of what is going on. The general concensus appears to be that EA/Maxis would rather delay the release of TS3 in order to iron things out as well as they can rather than release a product that will have a lot of disappointed gamers up in arms over bugs and other issues.
