Een preview is een impressie van een bepaald spel of uitbreiding nog voor de release, vaak verkregen op exclusieve hands-on-evenementen of of gamebeursen zoals gamescom of EA Play. Na de release volgt vaak nog een uitgebreidere review.

Nieuwe preview van De Sims Social op Facebook

The Sims Social, however, measures individual Sim progress with an experience point system aligned with levels. The higher the level, the more items the Sim can unlock to purchase and the more interactions the Sim can have with items (e.g. practicing arpeggios on the guitar as opposed to practicing scales). An additional “score” element comes from total home value (which increases with each item you buy), from Relationship progress bars unique to the individual Sims the player interacts with, and from Social Points earned through interacting with other Sims that can be spent on certain virtual items like a hot tub.

Game Guys video preview van De Sims 3 Beestenbende

As its title might suggest, The Sims 3 Pets adds domesticated animals to the world of The Sims 3. In addition to a new town in which players can have their sims reside, the game gives them access to dogs, cats, and horses. The equines are unique to the PC version and will not be found in the console version of the game.

Unlike the previous Pets expansion for EA’s The Sims franchise (The Sims 2 Pets), players will be able to both interact with and play as the various pets in town.

“You can actually get into the head of being one of these three new pets in the game,” explained Vaughan. “And actually play life as a dog, a cat, or even a horse.”

While no new careers will be added to the game, new pet-specific skill-sets will be. For example, Sims that ride their horses a lot will find gains in the horsemanship skill. With a high enough skill level, that sim can then take part in competitions in the town’s equestrian center to try to win prize money. While not an official job, players could simply consider this as being a freelance horse rider.

The expansion will also add a number of new items to the game — most of which are pet-related such as doghouses, cat trees, and items for a corrall.

While The Sims 3 Pets is currenly in its ‘pre-alpha’ development stage, Electronic Arts has the expansion slated for release on or around October 18th.

Previews van Hidden Springs voor De Sims 3

Hidden Springs is de nieuwe officiële buurt voor De Sims 3 en zal op 25 augustus in de De Sims 3 Store en de Origin / EA Store te koop zijn.

Enkele sites hebben een preview online gezet en we hebben de previews even voor jullie op een rijtje gezet.

If you’ve grown bored with Sunset Valley and Riverview, EA is releasing a new city called Hidden Springs on August 25. This isn’t an expansion and there’s no price yet, but it includes 50 new playable Sims, 15 new decoration items & six new outfits.

Inspired by Aspen and Lake Tahoe in the summer, I got a chance to look at Hidden Springs yesterday and it’s pretty cool.

De Sims 3 Beestenbende informatie uit 1.24 patch

Zoals we gisteren in dit bericht op onze site al gemeld hebben zat er verborgen in de laatste patch nogal wat informatie over De Sims 3 Beestenbende. Simsvip en Sims 3 Cri hebben nu deze informatie mooi op een rijtje gezet.

Het is niet bekend of deze informatie klopt, bovendien is het Sims Team nog steeds bezig met het spel dus er kan nog van alles veranderen. Maar het laat wel mooi de vele nieuwe mogelijkheden zien.

We gaan proberen de informatie te vertalen voor jullie maar Fransor (onze vaste vertaalster) is op vakantie dus Bakie en Jimmy gaan er mee aan de gang.

De Sims 3 Beestenbende preview op Every Eye

De Italiaanse gamessite Every Eye heeft een preview online gezet van De Sims 3 Beestenbende. De fansite Sims 3 Cri heeft het naar het Engels vertaald.

But the most interesting feature of The Sims 3 Pets is that you can take control over your pet and experience some weird adventure through his eyes. In this case, the new neighborhood introduced with the game (a quiet countryside town with meadows and woods to explore) will give you a lot of opportunities.

The Sims 3 Pets also features a series of pets that aren’t less interactive of the three mentioned above. You will find pretty much everything: snakes to raise in a warmed case, turtles, birds and parrots of any kind and also bugs. The developers team didn’t reveal too much, but they have ensured there will be a lot of animals to take care of.
Also, as usual, there is a bunch of items to use to decor your homes. Baskets, artificial pools, litters and blankets for you kitties. The option for customizing your game are going to increase, thanks to one of the richest expansion of all.
