Made2Game had al een 7 minuten durende game-play video van De Sims 3 voor Consoles gepost en ze hebben er vandaag ook nog eens een erg leuk preview aan toegevoegd. Er staat geen spetterende en nieuwe feitjes in, maar het is op een andere manier geschreven waardoor het toch leuker, of in ieder geval een keer anders, is om te lezen.

Once I created and personalized a Sim (or family) I moved to Moonlight Bay, which has a cartoon-map feeling to it. You’re not able to see a house in the neighbourhood map until you select it and move your Sim in. Once you do that, you will find yourself in your brand new little house and will even see your neighbours walking down the street and going into their houses.

I found the gameplay to be very intuitive in general terms. You control a sort of a green aura with your d-pad to select furniture, Sims and basically everything in your environment. The zoom in and zoom out option is very easy to use and very helpful.

I’ll definitely say ‘The Sims 3′ for consoles is the perfect excuse to initiate yourself into the wonderful Sims world if you haven’t yet. Every aspect in this version has been thoughtfully re-done in a more organic and simpler way, but never leaving behind the spirit that has made The Sims franchise such a successful and enjoyable ride.

Gameinformer heeft een nieuwe preview online gezet van De Sims 3 voor Playstation 3. Net zoals alle andere previews bevat de informatie niks nieuws, maar het blijft leuk om alles even door te spitten.

Aside from other small tweaks or content additions, the largest change – and adjustment – in the console edition of The Sims 3 is the control scheme. At first, playing on a controller feels slightly restrictive, but EA has done a fantastic job of making navigation as organic as possible without a mouse and keyboard. The d-pad is used to play, pause, and speed up time, and can be modified by holding L2 to maneuver between levels in a building. Pressing circle will scroll you through your current action queue, where you can manage your current tasks. Clicking the left stick automatically highlights your Sim, making it easy to access their cell phone, change their outfit, or dig through their inventory. Square opens the most important menu in live mode, where you can see expanded information like the status of your relationships, current wishes and opportunities, career goals, skill breakdowns, and more.
