The Sims 3 teaser site goes live

Pretty self explanatory.

[ZuljinRaynor]

I'm probably the only one here who is really excited about this and doesn't care that they're probably gonna milk it to the last drop. :D

[Damien_Azreal]

Bon's pretty excited for it.

[Damien_Azreal]

They may milk it to death... but it's still a decent concept.

[evanazzo]

I like the sims. I'm pretty excited too. i spent hours on this site www.7deadlysims.com downloading mods and objects people made for the game

[ZuljinRaynor]

Personally I hope that Seasons, Nightlife, FreeTime, and University are core instead of expansions.

[Damien_Azreal]

Would be nice... but who knows. I enjoy watching Bon play the game, some of the shit that happens is pretty damn funny.

[ZuljinRaynor]

With the release of FreeTime I'm hooked on Sims 2 again. But I feel that most of these concepts are core changes and minor ones that kinda feel like they should've been there from the start. Atleast they should be from the start in Sims 3. BFFs might be dumb but gameplay wise they are nice.

[Mountain Man]

I recently got The Sims Complete Collection, which is the original game plus all seven expansions for $40. Maybe by the time get tired of it, The Sims 2 Complete Collection will be for sale. :D

That's what I was hoping for at some point with Sims2 as well... Sims1 my sister kept buying me the expansions, so I didn't spend any money there...

Sims 3: Still No Sex Command, you pervert


But there was sex in Sims 2.

I hope they ditch the grid system, or at the very least let us put junk in diagonal.
I also hope pets, seasons, real basements, and owning cars are in the original game w/o expansions.

[Mountain Man]

That's what I was hoping for at some point with Sims2 as well... Sims1 my sister kept buying me the expansions, so I didn't spend any money there...
Assuming $50 for the original game and $30 to $40 for each expansion, I figure I saved about $300 with the Complete Collection.

[Danule]

im exited! i love the sims

[Echo Black]

Don't really care about The Sims anymore, but thanks for the link anyways.

[Loke]

Ya, pretty excited for this. Sims 2 was fun. :)

[The Stinger]

Personally I hope that Seasons, Nightlife, FreeTime, and University are core instead of expansions.

No doubt it'll follow what 1 and 2 did, "basic" sims with expansions released periodically. The sims is pretty good, nothing I can get hooked on though.
Can't see anything, besides graphics, being improved in this one.

The Sims 3: The 3D Realms Forums
A thoughtful, fun expansion pack, where you wait for a game

Can we stick forum members in the pool and remove the ladder? :D ;)

[Aegeri]

The only thing I care about is how many ways you can murder them.

Pretty self explanatory.

Funny, this info comes out right on my birthday. Normally It seems like nothing is released on my birthday. Pretty excited about it though, I have The Sims 2, and I enjoyed it.

Just hope that they make some of the stuff from the expansion packs for the Sims 2 mandatory in the core game for The Sims 3. Especially University and Seasons. (I hated the boring same weather every day)

Sims 2 improved on everything from Sims 1. Better Sims, more options for interactions, more depth, like aging and wants for example.

Yeah that's what I thought with The Sims 2. :)

Sims 2 improved on everything though so I don't know how you can think that. :confused: I'm hoping they'll add more interactions, maybe make days a tad longer or prehaps add more dynamics. Personally I'd love to be able to make like a band in the Sims and have gigs or prehaps assemble a sports team and just have that as a big interaction. Would be fantastic.

I meant it along the vein of "I had a similar expectation prior to The Sims 2's release", as in... I was proven wrong ;)

[Destructor]

How much can they add to an already tired concept? :confused:

I bought the Sims 2 recently and am sick of it already. Hardly played it as a matter of fact. :(

Ah, I misinterpreted the smiley.

True Sims 2 has it's new features and what not, but what I meant was that it didn't include stuff like pets and rockstar. They just didn't include stuff from the expansion packs that made Sims 1 more fun.

SIMS 3: NOW WITH MORE SHADERSs

[evanazzo]

How about
Sims 3: We Want More Of Your Money

[ZuljinRaynor]

First this happens in the PC Gamer thread that ended up for Red Alert 2, and now the same happens here. :doh:

[Karthik]

A cross over with another franchise would be nice. Like;

The Sims VS Singles
or
CityLife VS SimCity

[Danule]

the sims vs man hunt

The Sims 3: Livin' it up large with Zuljin :eek:

Seriously though I'll be picking this up for Jayne as she bloody loves sims 2, etc. I don't mind watching her play the game, either :)

[wayskobfssae]

When will they make a Hamster Habitrail version of this? :p

[Damien_Azreal]

Yeah, there's a preview for Sims 3 in the latest issue of Games for Windows. Looks pretty good, not the graphical leap that Sims 2 was of The Sims.

It looks like Sims 2.5 in ways, but some environments look really impressive. Bon is very excited for it... as am I. I like watching her play.....


.... and killing the sims.

[Steve]

Thanks for the heads up guys. Jayne is going to love this :)

[big fat lazy]

The new open seamless neighborhood sounds fantastic, and finally we can customized every object, I hated having something available in only one color.
It still looks like it's on a grid system though, but at least things can finally be put diagonal!

[evanazzo]

I want to be able to switch from normal sims camera to a First Person mode :)

[Danule]

im probably going to get this.

[Blade Nightflame]

I wanted that FPS mode in every single RCT game there was.

And RCT 3 only had it for those damn coasters.. I wanted to be one of the guests themselves. :(

But somehow I'm also hoping that could be the case for The Sims 3.. I'll see if it ends up being better than Sims 2. No offense, but the models in Sims 2 really turned me off compared to The Sims.

[Danule]

what do you mean bye turned off? ;)

[Marcos_Edson]

No offense, but the models in Sims 2 really turned me off compared to The Sims.

I'm not sure if I understood what you said but did you ever checked places like modthesims2.com? Some custom content are quite impressive... :cool:

[Danule]

yeah i downloaded some body textures, so basically my sims 2 game its more high rez and looks better than this sims 3 at the moment. :P

[ryche]

People still play The Sims games? I bought the first one and got bored with it after about an hour. Never played it again.

Its no fun unless you cheat

Pretty much :D

[Spardanian]

I don't know why, but Sims is very coldblood game for me. All those characters are so stupid, they don't have anything... They are just robots. Playing Sims scares me :(

wow....

[Danule]

they really need to up the resolution for the textures in sims 3, its looking worse than sims 2...
