A Little Bit More on MySims
MySims is an upcoming spin-off from the highly addictive The Sims series by EA. From a press-release that was sent out, yesterday, it looks like it will be insanely customizable. You will be able to create Sims with all sorts of hair-dos or even various types of hats. As go play, you will be ble to unlock new hair styles, clothes, and accessories, among other things.
When you first move into your 'delightful but disorganized town,' you will be able to re-shape everything and 'make it your own.' Here's more on what you can do in your town:
The town is rundown, but the player can make it much more dynamic. Using a selection of building blocks, unique patterns and engaging creativity tools, players can design furniture and appliances, architect new homes and businesses, and re-define the entire MySims landscape!
In addition to that, the people you meet can have an effect on who moves into your town and what they do in it. Some might build a restaurant, a Yoga studio, and other such places for the residents, and yourself, to enjoy. ...I wonder if it's possible to have an Adult Video Shop? Hmmm.... At any rate, as the town expands, 'players will receive special building blocks, decorations and patterns which help customize their unique creations.' Things such as furniture, buildings, the town itself and your choices 'informs how residents and visitors feel and behave.'
Seems pretty involved. However, take one look at the MySims trailer we posted earlier today, and you cannot help but think of Animal Crossing. So far, MySims appaears to be much more involved...but will be as cute or fun? I suppose we'll see when the game comes out this Fall for the Nintendo Wii and DS. I'm also looking forward to news about any connectivity between the Wii and the DS.
For the full press release, make the jump.
EA Announces MySims Created Especially for the Wii and Nintendo DS Platforms
Popular Video Game Series Embraces Player Creativity, Customization and Personal Expression Through a New, Delightful Cast of Characters
CHERTSEY, Surrey- (February 26, 2007) Electronic Arts announced today that the company is developing MySims™, the first game in a revolutionary new line from the developers of the blockbuster franchise The Sims, designed especially for the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ platforms.
MySims introduces a charming cast of whimsical characters while delivering the creativity, customization and classic open-ended gameplay that has enchanted Sims players worldwide. Players begin by creating their own toy-like Sim that reflects their personal style and attitudes. From pig-tails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks, the options are endless and the style is unlike any Sims game to date. By unlocking cool new clothing, hairstyles and accessories, players explore the game’s incredible depth of customization and expression… and the characters are just the beginning!
Transforming the traditional Sims gameplay for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms, MySims moves the player to a delightful but disorganized town where – thanks to the easy and unique controls – they can re-shape everything and make it their own. The town is rundown, but the player can make it much more dynamic. Using a selection of building blocks, unique patterns and engaging creativity tools, players can design furniture and appliances, architect new homes and businesses, and re-define the entire MySims landscape!
As players explore and build up the town, they will get to know dedicated, long-time residents like the always-busy Mayor Rosalyn P. Marshall and Buddy – the mostly-lazy hotel Bellhop. Once things start to look up, they’ll meet and choose from a variety of colorful, would-be residents. Will they build a restaurant for Gino Delicioso the Italian Chef, or will they help Ocean Breeze set up his Yoga studio instead?
Design is everyone’s domain in MySims. From building a new Pizza Oven for Gino to putting the finishing touches on a new roof for Buddy’s busy hotel, each completed task will help the town grow. As it expands to new areas, players will receive special building blocks, decorations and patterns which help customize their unique creations. From furniture and buildings to the town as a whole, every choice informs how residents and visitors feel and behave.
“We want MySims to provide a creative play experience like never before on a video game system,” said Executive Producer Tim LeTourneau. “By giving players the tools to create literally any kind of world they want in MySims, we’re reinforcing the idea that the players create the magic. Will the town support a plethora of spooky, mysterious townsfolk – or buzz with the laughter and smiles of fun-loving Sims? It’s your call! In MySims, what players make… makes all the difference!”
MySims will be available for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms in Autumn 2007.
