The Sims 3
The Sims 3 has been announced. I Really don’t see what else they can do to make the game more realistic. My assumption based on absolutely nothing is that they are going to have more of an online component in this game.
Spore has all ready been announced to have the ability to visit other worlds that players create on the internet. That is cool for that game, but really won’t be much fun for the Sims. Seeing a whole new species and then dominating their poor pathetic race has a nice ring to it, but kicking over my neighbors lampshade, not so much.
I am hoping for an integrated Sims Online. The last Sims online failed miserably, but really that was kind of expected. Every time they change the fundamentals of the game it doesn’t work as well. If they just leave the game as is and let other players live in the same neighborhood, maybe actually let me walk down the block, thats pretty cool. Its not a crazy new idea, but it will have a huge impact.
On March 19th Maxis will release more info. Lets see if any of my predictions are right.
