“We have members of our design and graphics staff that have really grown up with the franchise, so this is very personal to us,” said Bell. “Everybody on the team is a fan of the game. And there’s a whole bunch of stuff that we’ve always wanted to do with the game that we were never allowed to explore due to time or technology.”
Bell and his team set out to build a sequel that gives players more freedom to tell stories and Pleasant Valley is the setting for these stories.
“If you have a dream about your own life, you can make it happen in this game,” said Bell. “Or if you have some type of devious story in your head, you can use this game to live that out without anything getting in your way.”
Now that Spore has been released, we should start to prepare ourselves for Maxis’ next biggest hit – The Sims 3.
I would like to know the way having kids will play out? Willt ehr ebe more social interactions included? Im a HUGE fan of the Sims 2 and absolutely am dieing for this new sequel to launch! Its due release date is near my birthday so thats always a plus…
I also would like to know how the infants will work in the game. I have not seen any screenshots of infants yet. I believe they need the most interaction, it’s the most important of any couples life, wouldn’t you agree?
All I know about infants right now is that supposedly Sims will have babies in hospitals.
