Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sims 3 hits PS360 this fall!!!

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-5006-The-Sims-3-Coming-to-Consoles-This-Fall.html

In what will come as no surprise to anyone really, the EA Play label of Electronic Arts today announced that The Sims 3 would be heading to consoles and handhelds this fall – or autumn for the British out there.

EA’s super selling franchise has been missing from the console line-up for over 7 years, after EA made the conscious decision to leave The Sims 2 as a PC exclusive.

The Sims 3 will look to bring a living, breathing neighbourhood to consoles where you control your Sim and what they do – or don’t do. The Sims 3 on consoles and handhelds introduces “Karma Powers” into the fray, something that is totally new to the franchise.

Karma Powers allow you to have instant control over your Sim, and whether you choose to enact it for good – getting them a bit of action or being turned into an instant beauty – or bad – cursing them with “epic fail” – karma has a way to even itself out. So choose wisely and be careful!

Boasting a seamlessly integrated exchange system where you can design, build and share your creations, as well as Facebook integration on consoles, Sam Player, Executive Producer at EA, believes that The Sims 3 on consoles and handhelds will take the franchise to a new level in terms of connectivity.

“Building on the unique traits system, living open neighborhood, lifetime wishes, and endless customization options, we’ve tailored each platform of The Sims 3 with exclusive features to allow for even more control, creativity, and connectivity,” said Player.

The Sims 3 will be available this fall. More details we assume at - you guessed it - E3.

Time for hype

I'm pretty sure The Sims 2 was on everything from the PS2 to the GBA.

Good news, though!



PS360? What makes you think that Seecee?



Woot!  The Sims are awesome games.

Was on the PS2 etc, but a very different game to the PC version. I think the sims 1 was the truest adaptation of the franchise.



Oh, gosh, this is gonna be a DLC pit!
That said, Sims on consoles was pretty enjoyable beyond the item limit...



Cool, my PC doesn't seem to like running it that much so might give the console version a go lol.



Leliana: You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you.
Shale: If so, it is because I ate him.

I wonder if they will change it. I just really don't see how you can control the game without major changes in many areas.
