Electronic Arts has revealed that three new Sims games are in development at the moment, including a true Sims 3.
That game is due out in the 12 months beginning April 2008, so there's a bit of a way to go, but EA clearly has confidence in that estimate since chief financial officer Warren Jenson mentioned it in a conference call with investors this week.
Also mentioned in the conf. call, picked up on by GameSpot, is a new Sims title "specifically developed for the Wii platform". That one pretty much designs itself if you ask us - with comfort levels easily restored by using the Wii-mote like a TV remote when you need to relax, like a broom when you need to tidy up, and like a, er, actually, we'll stop there.
Elsewhere, Jenson apparently mentioned "The Sims 2 holiday edition on PS3" would be released in time for either Christmas 2006 or 2007. This year seems a bit soon if you ask us, but stranger things have happened.

Oh Lord. The day when I actually sit down to use a TV remote-like controller in order to control a charcter on the screen using a TV remote is the day when reality has officially jumped the shark. If that ever happens, I would have no choice but to kill myself. |

Hehehe@Muddtallica
Perhaps you could try kill yourself and your virtual self at the same moment in time by using said remote to bash over your head and thus the ingame characters ! lol I agree with you totally fella, next you will b using it to make the Sim play on their games console, where they play the game an you have no control over them other than making them play it. Sounds great fun! Lol |

Let them make money and develop interesting games. So yes, I damn you for being cynical... it's getting dull ;) I'd be very interested to see what The Sims 3 was like. I loved Sim City and some kind of merger of the two... well, I'd buy that for a dollar. |

It could be worse: you control a character who sits down in front of a TV and picks up a Wii controller in order to control a character who sits down in front of a TV. |
