Een andere preview staat op de Engelstalige Destructoid en hierin wordt onder andere verteld dat er naast papegaaien ook andere vogels in het spel zullen zitten. Deze zitten in de PC/MAC versie van het spel en de limited editon van de consoles versies.

Another big difference between the PC version and the console version is that on PC, you will also have exotic pets like parrots and other birds. For the consoles, they will be part of a special edition that can be seen here. But its more than certain that the other pets could be download content in the future.

De Sims 3 Beestenbende: Create a Pet

De Engelstalige Gamespot heeft een kleine preview online gezet van de Create a Pet die we straks in De Sims 3 Beestenbende zullen vinden.

There are markings that you can put on your pet and then move it around the body to give it a unique pattern. Other than giving you a brush and painting your dog, you have the freedom to give your puppy those droopy ears or shave your cat. Like your sims, you can assign three traits to your pets to give them that loveable–or destructible–personality. The animations that appear when you select a trait is a good indicator of whether or not you’ll wind up with a pleasant and obedient dog, or a couch chewer.

The Xbox 360 version includes Kinect support with voice commands. PC and PS3 (with Move) players won’t have voice support even though both platforms could support it. Furthermore, horses only exist on the PC version.

Similar to the previous expansion, pets have dreams and ambitions just like their human counterparts. They also have missions they can partake in when you tire of letting them roam around and acting on their own accord. In the demo, you take control of a dog that needs to find his master at a bar. Once there, you have to help him find a date and hope he’ll get lucky in the process. Though the demo didn’t go into other quests, we were promised a wide range, from the normal — a dog trying to protect a junkyard from burglars — to the ridiculous, like a cat trying to build a time machine.

Gamezone over De Sims 3 Beestenbende

De Engels Gamezone heeft een artikel online gezet over De Sims 3 Beestenbende. Er staat niks nieuws is maar we melden het even vanwege de 2 leuke screens die erbij zitten.

Sims 3: Pets offers full customization of pets. You can create the type of pet you own or the one you’ve always wanted. Customize the pet’s coat, shape, pattern, color, etc. You can change the ears, tail, snout, eyes, and much more. Pets allows you to go even further than customizing your pet’s look. You can also choose their behavior pattern and traits, similar to how you choose a sim’s traits. You are given the freedom to design the pet you want. To simplify customization, Pets will use Kinect voice functionality. No more tedious scrolling through every possible choice. Now you can say exactly what breed you want and the game will select it. Those who want to experience the full creativeness of EA can check out the limited edition pack, filled with many different types of pets, such as “Tiger Dog”, a dog with a tiger-striped coat on it.

E3 2011: De Sims 3 Beestenbende demo (Xbox 360)

Deze week is er een grote gamesbeurs in Amerika, de E3, en De Sims 3 Beestenbende / Pets is schijnbaar al zover gevorderd dat er nu al ‘behind closed doors’ speelsessies zijn.

Gisteren was er zo een speelsessie met de Xbox 360 versie en Gamespot heeft er een verslag van online gezet.

Using Kinect voice commands, a new born kitten was created with lines such as “Clueless” and “Destructive” for its personality. The species could also be selected among real life breeds including Siamese cats and German shepherds. Even the fur and snouts could be adjusted. However, it’s not just limited to the natural. For those who purchase the limited edition, skins such as the tiger dog could be unlocked. It wasn’t just the ascetics of the pets that could be manipulated. The pets are fully playable and can take actions similar to their masters.

One singing dalmatian was trained in the art of singing. Along with its equally musical master, the duo headed to the boardwalk to panhandle via song. Another mutt had more of a mean streak and openly destroyed a potted plant on the same beach side shopping district. In another part of town the tiger dog socialized among its canine cohorts. She was even able to locate a worthy mate and establish romance with a sly nuzzle. Pets not only take a life of their own but are a true member of the family.

Vanavond om 19.00 uur kunnen we allemaal een speelsessie met Ben Bell bekijken, zie ook dit bericht op onze site. Hopelijk is dat wel de PC versie en niet de consoles versie.

Preview van De Sims 3 Beestenbende voor 3DS door IGN

IGN is lekker op dreef. Naast de preview van De Sims 3 Beestenbende voor Consoles hebben ze nu ook een preview online gezet van De Sims 3 Beestenbende voor Nitnendo’s nieuwe handheld, de 3DS.

Playing as a pet extends way beyond your mark on the living room floor. You can customize your own pet (choosing from dozens of feline and canine breeds) in the create-a-pet portion of the game, and then can choose to have offspring with other like-specied creatures in game (cat or dog) and set up your own animal dynasty. Pets have their own specifically-tailored wishes and lifetime happiness rewards like human Sims, and super-animal-and-3DS-lovers can even create families composed of just dogs or cats — an exclusive option for the 3DS.

Preview van De Sims 3 Beestenbende voor Consoles door IGN UK

IGN heeft een preview online gezet van De Sims 3 Beestenbende voor Consoles. In deze preview draait het om de Xbox360 versie, maar de kwaliteit zal, net als bij De Sims 3, vrijwel gelijk zijn aan de Playstation 3.

In de preview wordt duidelijk dat de huisdieren net als Sims zijn. Ze kunnen banen nemen, krijgen eigenschappen, moodlets en meer. Ook kan je in het spellen kiezen uit meer dan 100 verschillende rassen!

The Sims 3: Pets marks the first time that pets are on equal footing with your Sims, with moodlets, motivations, challenges, and personality traits. including options like piggy or hyper or non-destructive. When you create new Sims in the create-a-Sim menu, cats and dogs are now options for family members, with more than 100 breeds at your disposal (including my beloved breed the Keeshond — miss you, Casey!). And if you’re feeling mean to the humans in your family, allergic to fur is a new trait you can bestow.
