That a Sims 3 is en route, remains beyond doubt, but how soon we'll get the sequel and what it will comprise most assuredly is. We also have a reasonable suspicion that design firms Gamma Ray and Feng Zhu are involved in some fashion, because they told us so on their official websites, before pulling the mention when it became apparent that EA hadn't even officially confirmed the new game's existence. Certainly, the two respective mentions of the Sims 3 have got fans more than a little excited, but EA have moved quickly to denounce the idle speculation, stating that "until EA announces that a new Sims game is in the works, any speculation would be premature." So there you go.

Of course, given that developers Maxis are already at least considering another title (we read an interview with them recently, speculating over likely inclusions in the third game, based upon Sims 2 expansion packs), we reckon we might learn more at E3 in May, though possibly nothing sooner. That the series remains the PCs best-selling franchise by some margin, we're sure EA have extensive plans in place for numero three nay number four too. A case of when, not if, then.

    The Sims 3 will probably be based on the new breaktaking technology. What I mean by saying based on new technology, well, most likely the DirectX 10 shaders and newer GPUs.

    Let me garantee that you'll be able to do as much as in the real life, if not, really really close to it. :-D

    I can't wait for the new sims to arrive this time they should make the console version the same as the computer version is on part two. It should still have the free walking but it should come with the advatages of the computer versin.

  29. The best game ever. Unregistered 2 years ago

    If you come out with sims 3, make it better than all of the other sims. First make the game for every system. Second of all have pets, and have stairs so that you can make a 1 2 3 4 5 story home, or however big you want to make it. Keep some of the ideas you had for sims 2 like the refrigeration system and wohooing in any bed. But you really really nead to have holidays like valentines day, ST,Patricks Day, Mothers Day, Memorial day, your sims birthday no matter how old you are, Forth of july, ThanksGiving, halloween, Christmas. also take away that bar on the left hand side of your tv that tells you how big you can make your house or how much stuff you can put in your house on the build and buy mode. Also add a whole buntch of new idems to buy like a pool and a pool sheet, a pool sheet is one of those things you put over your pool when you are done swimming so it can keep your pool clean. Also you should be able to clean your pool when it gets dirty. Also you really need to have kids in this game. Also have a life spand for your sims. In the free play mode ass well as in the story mode let your sim go places like to the barber shop and to very fancy resturants and to clubs and to the mall and alot more places.

    if you make a sims 3, make sure we can see everything. Don't put any blockings so we cannot see their body parts. We know what it looks like!!! Especially when they woo-hoo. They have to be on top of the bed and no blockings making love!!! (Please dont think I'm a sicko!!!) And thet have to include like up to eight storys of creating. I can't wait for the Sims 3. I looooooooooove the sims 2 already.
