We’re not quite done posting folk’s impressions *just yet*. Spanish fansite SimControl’s report is now online – they recap their time spent at the EA Offices in Madrid as well as their time spent on the game. I love how the translation for Generations is “What a Family!”
As many of you know, last Wednesday I had the opportunity to go to Madrid to the offices of EA Games to test the fourth expansion pack for The Sims 3: “The Sims 3: What a Family!”.
The expansion would say it’s bittersweet because although things are pretty positive that brings the news I think is insufficient … I have found very little “load”, is a potpourri of things you do not know how to qualify (as diverse as spiral staircases, possibility of weddings, houses in trees, video cameras or tables for chemical inventions).
I think with “What a Family!” We try to brew what should have been in other expansions and which were left in the pipeline to extend over the saga, but for the price they want us to pay for this is not a problem new features are always welcome but scarce.
The expansion is centered (or so they say) in Henry Sims’ lives. How? Well, basically making them more interactive between them. We could say that, until now, the Sims were a little to the air and now have more in mind to others, but I do not expect a major revolution in the relationship because basically it’s some new interactions rather than a change concept.
Awesome , and i was thinking that was a Small Gameplay video from this Game :/
Best review I’ve seen so far. Yeah, he got the recycling bin thing wrong, we got that with Ambitions.
Didn’t we get recycling bins with Ambitions?
Yeah we had recycling bins in Ambitions and the patch 🙂 If you have Barnacle Bay they even use them in some of the lots
Jud, I’m beginning to realize that some languages just have a unique title that relates to the EP, not necessarily the actual translation. I say this because the Spanish translation for “generations” is “generaciones.” But they clearly used a title that relates to family. Same with the title “VIP” for the French version of the Late Night EP. I hope this helps. 🙂
