“When we created the MySims world, we believed that the MySims characters could be part of a variety of different gaming experiences. We are thrilled to bring MySims Party and MySims Racing to fans and new players alike,” said Tim LeTourneau, Executive in Charge of Production for MySims. “We’ve had great success with MySims, with both the original game and this fall’s MySims Kingdom. Players have really connected with the characters and now we are giving them two completely new and exciting experiences. We believe that MySims Party and MySims Racing, are great ways to couple the creativity and humor players love about the franchise with great multi-player arcade gameplay.”

EA is so smart that is releasing TWO Mario Kart clones in 2009!



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Most milked out series this gen confirmed?



Wow. They look like "Conspiracy", releasing the SAME games (only textures changed) with different names at the same time.

^Click on cards to level'em up!!!^ =D

Honestly, this is a very good move (from a business standpoint) by EA ...

By reusing a franchise like MySims from game to game, EA will be able to reuse a lot of assets which should reduce the cost and time it takes to develop further games in the series. If they focus on maintaining and improving the quailty of games over time, they could build a series that can reliably turn a healthy profit from year to year.

MySims sold 4M between Wii & DS. MySims Kingdom will probably sell about the same. This is a no-brainer for EA. MySims has to be one of their more profitable franchises, and EA does love milking franchises.

Now what I was saying ... I was expecting EA to treat the MySims franchise in a similar way to how Nintendo treats the Mario franchise so we might see the following:

2010: MySims Dodgeball
2011: MySims Mall
2012: MySims Paintball
...

Kidding aside, I was thinking they would likely start an EA series named similarly to EA Playground, but MySims might be a path for them too.



Wow... Think EA could think of something original to do with their successful franchise? Apperantly not. Just what we need - another party game and another Mario Kart clone. Please. Unfortunately they'll probably make EA money.



 

Time to boycott MySims?
