I heard through the grapevine that the new Sims game was leaked early, I'm thinking it must have been a disgruntled EA worker.
This cant be good Will Wright must be pissed! I thought they had this game locked down tighter than Fort Knox.
Do you think this will majorly effect the sales once its officially launched?

anyway i lost interest in the sims when sims 2 came out.
I spent many a school holiday on that game
i think if they did some updated art.. maybe 3d with the original mechanics and a bit more advancement the game could sell good on steam or xbla for like 10-15 bucks.
You do this in a backyard that is divided into regions, and you have to take over every region, and then the house. You do this by sending a new queen there and starting a new hill. Then you lead all your ants into the red ant's hill and slaughter them all!
They are releasing another because the graphics are improved and with newer tech they can open up more possibilities for the game.
Plus if it's such a cash cow redoing the franchise every 5 years or so can be a good and needed thing.
You'd probably first need a game to leak...
building walls around a husband while the wife was outside going crazy! then building walls around her! A friend of mine in college would punish her Married sims (who had children) when they peed on the floor by building walls around their children. lol... if only the sims had psyche levels in the game, she would have driven them insane.
or having a bbq inside! then lighting off fireworks inside! They sadly killed two of their friends though, then went on a blood-thirsty rampage with the fireworks killing three more, and a clown.
made another house that was an extremely militant lesbian sex trafficker. She'd befriend all the wives, and eventually ask them to move in with her and leave their husbands. She wore a yellow jumpsuit, and beat up men.
Oh man psyche levels would rock!
I also did the lesbian frat house. My wife said I was fucked up.
Ain't nuffin' wrong with that.
I would say anything like that for Sims 3 would be released as DLC this time round, but with a DVD retail release too, as I would say a large part of their audience aren't nerds who know about DLC and how to get it Its that kind of game, like Nintendogs I guess.
Which is where the real money is at unfortunately...
EA has always doen dlc on their site too with updates and free objects. It's a huge thing.
I remember when I use to play motor city online(which was the best car game ever imo!) they shut it down and gave the remaining user base a free copy of the sims online or some other game. I tried the sims and was hit on by some dude in the first 15 minutes of playing and didn't touch the game again haha.
it seems like it looks exactly like a barbie game...colorwise.
It's actually your avatar to begin with.
