The time has finally come folks; mothers hide your daughters because Armageddon has come. The best selling PC game series (we’re talking over 70 million copies sold) is getting its second sequel: The Sims 3. If you head on over to the game’s official website, you’ll be treated to a splash page teasing more information coming on March 19th.
If you can’t wait two weeks, 1UP features the upcoming April/May issue of Games for Windows with The Sims 3 adorning the cover page. They mention brief details for the game; such as a big change to the Sims’ motives system along with that the game will take place in a gigantic sandbox-like dynamic neighborhood.
"The biggest change to The Sims 3 is that it takes place in a wide-open, constantly changing neighborhood — a much bigger sandbox, if you will, and a much more complex simulation… what you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within.
The game also sees a major shift in how Sims’ motives are handled: Individual meters indicating bladder and sleep-deprivation levels are replaced by a new system of discrete moods, the aim being to get players off the treadmill of fulfilling primal eat-sleep-pee-repeat requirements so they can focus more on, well, going out on the brand new town."
Are you ready? Do you think The Sims 3 can be a huge success?
