So, straight from the horse’s mouth, we now have the official cover of The Sims 3 Ambitions with a few changes…hair on the Ray-lookalike Ghostbuster is now blond, ghost is blue, inventor is by himself with different robot, lady replaced guy in the doctor pic, private investigator’s face changed…and the tattoo guy is still a wimp.
Interesting, UK press site for EA still has the old one up as official cover.
They probably changed the ghostbuster to avoid copyright problems.
Here’s the other changes to it. =)
The fireman is now black, doc’s hair is now black from brunette, added heart to x-ray, ghostbuster top is fully zipped up now, and tattoo lady is missing tattoos that were on her chest, neck, and legs also her top is darker.
Fireman isn’t black 🙂
Fireman is definitely black.
Mixed perhaps? Can’t really tell, but he’s not Eddie Murphy black, more like Terrence Howard (Iron Man movie) black. 🙂
He’s not black, it’s just shadowing.
Aww, nutbunnies, they took out the cute scientist chick. xD
Still! The robot looks a lot nicer, unless it looked like that all along and I wasn’t paying attention.
The Ghostbuster now looks less like Dan Aykroyd, yes, but he also now has a bit of a Derek Acorah hairdo going on. 😛
the tattoo artist’s hair was always black
K, to procrastinate on my HW and making dinner, I opened up both old and new art and compared – i separated by sections:
1. Detective’s face changed, her black glove is now red.
2. Tattoo artist’s tattoos were removed from her neck and legs. Her shirt got shorter and her skirt longer. The lamps also now have light.
3. The ghost is now resembling the ghosts we see in the game, unlike the first copy of the ghost, which is something we don’t see in the game. Brown hair to Blonde hair, and the suit is fully zipped up.
4. The firefighter’s skin is darker, The background is also defined
5. Inventor’s hair color and clothing changed, the robot changed, his action changed, and the assistant was removed.
6. Doctor’s hair is darker and he’s looking at US rather than at the xray. The patient is female rather than male, and the xray added a flaming heart to the ribs (like the chick likes the doc)
BTW I hope we get those two new girl hairstyles. Theys the bomb. also, curly hair. kthnx.
ohohoh, the PC/MAC thing also changed
and the robot looks more like the “IRON GIANT” robot. ever seen that movie? check it out…looks like the Iron Giant.
I honestly like the old, unofficial cover (now the UK one) better. The investigator and firefighter looked more sim-ish, being rendered, but now that they just illustrated them it looks out of place.
along with these changes, EA should change the trailer
Zara8, I agree with the investigator, but the firefighter’s skintone only changed, not his facial features.
I don’t really like the changes. The only change that I like is that the ghost now looks like one from the game.
Now, what I don’t like:
1. I’m most disappointed from the scientist picture. The new one looks a lot like a destroyer not a constructor. The poor robot and the pain in it’s eyes. I do believe EA changed that because a lot of people want to “blow” things up. This destructive behavior would suit a 5 year old with curious mind but without patients and any kind of skills. I want the smart guy with the integral circuit from the unofficial cover!
2. The doctor’s picture. The most disturbing thing for me is the big red flaming heart. It could mean two thing. The woman is going to die really soon or we’re going to deal with some drama situations a la Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t really know which variant is better. If you didn’t notice the doctor’s patient is the old scientist’s assistant.
3. I don’t really like the new investigator but I do like her outfit and the red gloves.
4. All I can say… well, ask about the tattoo artist is – Will we be able to tattoo our sims everywhere we want or are we limited to only specific places e.g. the arms. I do believe if I go to a tattoo studio the tattoo artists will be a lot more tattooed like the old one from the unofficial cover. Do I smell something wrong here EA? You can show a burning heart but you are afraid from a little more tattoos on the body!
What I see is a lot commercialized cover that I don’t like!
I’m sure people are not going to change their minds about getting the game simply over a new cover art. 😉
like bananachunks im gonna change my mind….im too excited!
It’s not about if we are going to change our minds about the game – we won’t. It’s what EA thinks their customers are – easily manipulated chimpanzees. That’s why we have so many bad patches. That’s why we’ll have a lot of bugs when we get this EP. And when EA gets your money they’ll forget about you and will release the next thing and we all will be again “Gimme gimme”.
cuanto cuesta?
digammelo lo mas rapido posible y os dare mi sim 4 hay tienen my mesenger
voy a comprarlo ya
Almost time to for Ambitions! Based on the picture, I’m assuming the patient has heartburn. Makes me wonder how they’re really going to portray examinations in the game. Looking forward to trying it out!
