A little something about a Sims3?

[maniac19642003]

The site News0r mentions a Sims 3 coming to the X-box 360 somewhere between 2006 and 2007. Though it's probably nothing but a rumour, you may want to check out the newspost here: http://www.news0r.com/index.php?p=2711

Assuming those shots are authentic: all I can say is...wow!

From what i am understanding those shots are nothing more than paintings ...
 
but i am unaware if they are shots painted to show what they want in the release for the third installment or an add on for the sims 2 that they decided to use for the sim3?
 
under the first large painting it says "Danny gets creative" meaning these were homemade shots?
 
Last but not least maxis i think it was who said the control panel would have a new design when the Sims3 came out and if you look at the control panel here .. it is from the sims 2 including one shot of a sim wearing a sims 2 designed clothing
 
Until maxis and only maxis releases any info on the sims3
everything i hear or see will be fiction, Fire.

Those are definitely rendered images - not paintings.  Whether those are "live" images running in an actual game, is another question.

Here is what i could make of the Disclaimer in English!:
 
DisclaimerDeze ' review ' are no review. The game does not exist, but is a vision of how a third COULD part, and how I would see personally gladly that the game would grow further ideas to be of course more than welcome, and nicest which I between now and Sunday encounter 26 September 2004 can as of now choose from all available skins for this site (including all old skins therefore) and will have no more advertisements see on games.fok.nl.

I thought the pictures looked a bit too unreal. All of the shots look so European in architecture (no complaint there). I just didn't believe I was seeing a new version of The Sims. I do believe that there will be a Sims 3 forthcoming but Maxis and EA have a long way to go to milk the current cash cow before introducing a new one.

those images look a little too fake for me right now.....i think they would've changed the panel for build mode and buy mode...i would think they change it again since its a new version...well thats my opinion

Yes and no.  It's not uncommon for game companies to use their previous release as a prototype for selling the "next generation" of their product to the publisher.  Is that what's happening here - probably not...it's not that EA would have ANY question whatsoever about viability of The Sims franchise - it's a license to print money as far as I'm concerned.  The images in this example are stunning, but not out of reach of today's technology (Doom 3, Far Cry, Half Life 2, are excellent examples of this).  These titles have an extremely high bar as far as hardware requirements.  Simulations tend to be very CPU intensive as well as graphically intensive, and they tend to cater more to the "Wal-Mart" scene rather than the hard core gamer.  This demographic tends to have substantially inferior hardware.  So whatever the point of these rendered images - regardless of their origins - the day is not far off when you will witness this kind of quality.  Maybe not Sims 3, but I wouldn't look too far beyond that to see this kind of detail on your PC.
