Maybe EA wont screw with this franchise and tarnish it....nonetheless my hatred for EA is high but even I love the sims so I dont know about this one.

It seems like EA has mostly let Maxis do things the way they want to, probably due to The Sims and The Sims 2 printing money for them, as well as not being able to roll high enough to beat Will Wright's charisma (though I guess sometimes they do manage to get a shot or two in, as evidenced by those Sims Carnival games or whatever they are).

I mean, if EA had THAT much control over them, we'd have Spore with 4 expansions and a sequel by now.

Last night, Darth Vader came down from the planet Vulcan and said that if I didn't buy the Sims 3 and Spore, that he'd melt my brain.

Apparently your PC needs a 1.21 Giggawatt processor to play this game.

D-pad I'm sure that in 2038, plutonium is available in every corner Best buy or Circuit city, but in 2008 it's a little hard to come by.D-pad, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't play this game!

Looks meh, I just want the exploration option, don't need the rest, the sims themselves don't look that much better then Sims 2 sims, in fact, the sims 2 sims look better, these just look more glossy and smooth.

Not much of an improvement though.

Generally speaking this game is still probably more then a year away from release, which means that the graphics could improve by a lot in that time. Additionally very little information has been released about the game, so I feel that unless you're a hardcore fan of the series and would buy it if all Will Wright did was take a dump in the box it's a little early to determine whether or not it's worth a buy.

Actually if all people were taken out of the picture except the guy in the blue jeans, it'd look like another screenshot of Home lol - with different types of buildings.

They just need to tilt that camera angle up, and it'd just like all the Home screenshots =P.

Eh, I'm all for sims3, but the "screens" look more like 'shopped shots of the sims2. Eh, I'm gonna buy it anyway, can't wait to see what the modders do with it.

The site is HEAVILY trafficked right now.

"I wonder if you will still beable to de-blur out when people use the shower :D"

You always could. What you see is smooth, mannequin, genital-less bodies.

No kidding dude. I think I will wait a bit until the rush dies down. This reminds me of the GTA IV trailer rush a year ago.

I hope the final game doesn't look like that I mean for a 2009 title that wouldn't be half good.

Not to mention most of the characters seem taken out from Poser.

Eell I'm happy this game will be finally released but um where is my new Urbz game?

Does this mean that the improved character creation will enable you to make more common body types and realistic looking ethnic people?

I know my fiance is a huge fan of the game, but being black, she finds it hard to make a character that looks like her. There is a dearth of skin tones and good looking hair (Dear Maxis, not all black people have dreadlocks and afros, nor do they all straighten their hair.)

Sims 3!!

YES!!

I loved the first two, and I'm a pretty much Sims addict. ^^;;;

Sims 2 was really good, and I can't wait for this and Spore to come out now.

Now, only if they can make Sim City 5 with Sims 3 connectivity, then I'll be a happy person. :D

Is it just me, or do these new Sims actually look kind of creepy? Maybe it's the eyes. They're so tiny. I actually wish they were a bit more cartoonish like they were in The Sims 2.

I'm somewhat feeling better about their new personality system then the last one, so I might actually get it. The graphics look like they are keeping it toned down so more PC's will be able to adopt it right away.

My brother tried to go into Sims 2 but we quit it quickly. Might take a look into Sims 3.
