De Sims 3 consoles preview op IGN

I sent the mother on a walk to the park sans the offspring, because let’s face it; teenage boys can be really annoying. While on said stroll, my Sim happened to run into a fellow working on a laptop near a fountain. For some reason, I could select his laptop. I thought to myself, “Oh sweet, I’m totally gonna make her swipe it” but I couldn’t. Perhaps my Sim lacked the proper thieving prowess or desire, but that didn’t stop me. I didn’t just want that laptop, I needed that laptop and I was going to get it one way or another.

De Sims Middeleuwen preview op IGN

Because medieval folks were a rowdy bunch, EA has also included dueling in this version of the Sims. The altercation I saw was between the king and one of his knights. I’m not sure what they were upset about as they both jabbered in Simlish, but eventually they pushed each other around and drew their swords. A 2D side-view of the fight popped up, and the demoer skillfully bested the king without killing him, though murder is always an option.

Gamespot over De Sims Middeleeuwen

De Engelse gamesite Gamespot heeft een preview van 2 pagina’s online gezet van De Sims Middeleeuwen / The Sims Medieval.

In Medieval, you don’t necessarily switch control from one character to another and then another; instead, you will control a primary character by accepting an outstanding quest for that character (and if you wish to keep playing that character, then you can simply keep accepting quests for that character). One of the many heroes you can choose to follow as your active character is the realm’s king or queen, who resides in the castle, which itself can be edited and designed…somewhat. To keep the game’s look and feel consistent, your view of the castle in build mode won’t cut away all the walls; instead, it will give you cross-sectional views that encompass the entire room at a glance.
