It was perhaps only time before another Sims game was revealed to the gaming public. But instead of the usual fifteeth expansion pack called ‘Sims Go Fishing’, EA have revealed a REAL sequel.
Yes you heard correctly, EA have released the first details for The Sims 3 which is due to be released on the PC sometime next year. Details are still a little sketchy right now but what we can tell you is that instead of having a house in a neighbourhood to control, The Sims 3 will feature an open-word environment along with storytelling options and locations.
EA have also announced a new create-a-Sim interface which will have realistic personalities and tons of customisation options. Perfect for creating that over-weight lazy version of you!
Rod Humble (not quite so humble as his name suggests) said:
”In The Sims 3, Sims can go beyond the boundaries of their home lot, and immerse themselves in an open, living neighbourhood, interacting with other Sims using our new deeper personality system.
“It is this type of open-ended gameplay that inspires endless creative possibilities. In addition, the new goals and rewards systems will give players of all kinds from core gamers to storytellers the ability to enjoy long-term gameplay.”
His colleague Ben Bell (don’t you love these names?) added:
”The new engine and technologies in The Sims 3 are designed to unleash the player’s imagination with realistic-looking Sims who have distinct personalities and a seamless living neighborhood for them to discover. Players are going to be thrilled by the level of realism in The Sims 3!”
