Man, all of this news is making my head spend – I’m glad I’ll be able to split for the weekend! Anyhow, EA has published a special article on The Sims Medieval at their GamesCom 2010 coverage site. Link courtesy of InfiniteSims.
Today we had the honor of witnessing a presentation by the developers behind closed doors about The Sims: Medieval. In a room that was very cosily furnished with a fake fireplace, knight’s armour and red walls a game that was equally relaxing awaited us – at least in the first few minutes. It was initially possible to gain an impression of the setting of the demo version thanks to the bird’s eye perspective. Attention was paid to every detail here. The Middle Ages as a rather cheerless epoch was created with a lot of fantasy as was demonstrated by the textures of the buildings, the special trees or the ingenious interior fittings of the rooms. Nothing was missing. The witch tower, church, castle, apothecary and many more things round off this village backdrop. No details were spared in relation to the Sims either. The range of clothing seems almost inexhaustible. You can choose between a modest citizen’s garment, knight’s armour, a magician’s cape or magnificent regal outfits and play to your heart’s content with accessories such as belts or jewellery.
