13. MySims Preview at GameSpot

Written on Sunday 25 March 2007 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Information around MySims isn't coming in constantly, but there's a little bit of news around the upcoming Sims game for Nintendo Wii again. This time it comes from GameSpot, which has made a preview. They start off with the character creation, noting that the Sims look like a cross-breeding of anime figures, Lego models and the Wii's own Miis. There's plenty to choose from when creating your character, from huge Afros to pageboy haircuts and hippie outfits to the latest hip-hop threads. The number of possible combinations is high - and the number of possibilities is still being increased by the developers. The biggest new element is probably the building creator, which allows you to build one or two story homes using the Wii-remote. It may be a little tricky getting things exactly as you want them using the remote, so details may take a little patience but much is possible. The preview also mentions the "create-a-thing" option, used to build objects. You can opt to help the nice Sims in town, or the darker characters from the Volcano area. Completing enough tasks improves your town's star level, and with each improvement your character gets a new tool to develop and house new neighbours. An example is a crowbar, with which you can unseal a boarded-off path to a new forest area. The full preview has more details, but we recommend checking out earlier magazine scans (and here) for even more information. Besides the preview GameSpot also has new screenshots as well as a video interview with "Tim Laterno" (that's supposed to be Tim LeTourneau of course).

In the interview Tim introduces the original Sims briefly, and how the game is mostly about creating and creativity of the player. First of all the team came up with the new characters, after making the decision to make MySims. They are still little people, incredibly animated, that works best for the platform but still are Sims. Thanks to the new controller EA can offer new options to create items and make the world their own. Then he goes into the Create-a-Sim mode, in which you can change any aspect of the Sim, just by clicking things. Next is the build mode, in which you stack things together to create the building. Create-a-Thing allows you to create items and the final demo set up at the night GameSpot made the interview and preview shows the town. The media page has the video on it, which can be viewed by anybody who is registered for free.

16. MySims Announced

Written on Tuesday 27 February 2007 at 01:11 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After rumours and a Japanese presentation, there is now more official confirmation regarding a Sims title for Nintendo's Wii: MySims will be available for both the Wii and the DS later this year. According to the press release announcing the title the game will deliver the "creativity, customization and classic open-ended gameplay that has enchanged Sims players worldwide." After creating your own toy-like Sim, reflecting your personal style and attitudes, dressing them up with pig-tails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks, you start unlocking new clothing hairstyles, accessories and more. That's just for the characters - you start off in a "delightful but disorganized town" where it'll be your task to get things reorganized and make the town more dynamic. You can design furniture, appliances, new homes and businesses using a selection of building blocks. Some of the characters you'll meet are Mayor Rosalyn P. Marshall, hotel Bellhop Buddy, Gino Delicioso the Italian Chef and Ocean Breeze, who wants to set up his own Yoga studio. You can make Gino an oven, or put a roof on Buddy's hotel - all these tasks will help the town grow. Executive producer Tim LeTourneau says the goal of MySims is to "provide a creative play experience like never before on a video game system. By giving players the tools to create literally any kind of world they want in MySims, we're reinforcing the idea that the players create the magic. Will the town support a plethora of spooky, mysterious townsfolk - or buzz with the laughter and smiles of fun-loving Sims? It's your call! In MySims, what players make... makes all the difference!" MySims is the first in a new line of Sims products, developed by the Sims Division, for both Nintendo Wii and DS. More information, including an English version of the trailer seen in Japanese before, can be found at MySims.com. There are three new screenshots as well, which you can see below. For more details read the press release and the previous newspost here at TSZ.

18. MySims Information

Written on Wednesday 21 February 2007 at 00:59 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Besides the few little rumours regarding MySims for the Nintendo Wii and DS, not much actual information has been published yet. The first magazine to mention any details of the new game is the Official Nintendo Magazine (UK). Website ComputerAndVideoGames reports about the revelations. For the characters, although it looks simple, you can tweak individual facial features and add tattoos as you wish. The focus has shifted from running a house to running a little town though, as you'll need to run around the little town, meeting people, and increase the amount of residents that way. A relationships menu will help you figure out who likes you and who doesn't. The catalogue has also been replaced: you can now build chairs and tables from scratch, and houses can be build in an equally flexible way. "Essence" is a new feature with which you can decorate your furniture or plant seeds for flowers. Apparantly Sims you who hate your town will be sent off to a Volcano area not shown in any previous screenshots so far. On the Wii there will be 80 characters in MySims, the DS version will have 30. The game is expected to be released this autumn. For more details see CVG's article. Thanks to SimsZone for the link.
