Sadly... Im somewhat excited... I'd love to see an insane setting or something that you can get so in depth into the characters life and the depth of their persona that you start understanding how they work... of course, it wont be like that, and itll be really basic and simple.

while I do hate this franchise, it does bring a whole new group of users to pc gaming.

I'm also looking forward to this! I just hope they optimise it a SHIT load better than they did on Sims2. I've seen Sims2 bring QuadCore procs with 8800s to their knees, with a packed house. That's just sad.

Fake as fake can be. I think they'll update the interface.

Yep definitely a fake. EA will never use the exact same menu system. Knowing EA, they will revamp the UI to make it all spiffy.

Cause he's bad animated. Short animationperiod, resulting into loop, that makes him move over and over the same way

Its a real video in that it appears in TS2, but where have they confirmed this is actual gameplay from TS3?

| Quote: | | In the 7th expansion pack for The Sims 2, The Sims 2: Free Time, a secret unlockable event may occur in which a sim-version of Rod Humble, The Sims 3's executive producer, gives the player's sim family an unopened gift box. When opened, the sim who opened the box gets a special computer which is not available in the buy mode catalog of the game as well as a copy of The Sims 3, which the sims may play on their computers or console systems. It should be stressed that this is simply, like all the other games sims can play in The Sims 2, a video of the gameplay shown on your sim's television or computer screens when played by a sim, not a playable demo game that the user can control. A video of the gameplay (recorded during one of The Sims 2: FreeTime preview sessions for fansites of The Sims franchise) was taken by the German The Sims fansite 'SimTimes'. [12] The video is effectively the same as that in The Sims 2: FreeTime, except that the music has changed. |

That's not confirmed as real gameplay. The only citation is a german copy of the video, nothing from EA/Maxis stating this is actual footage from TS3. As they say on wikipedia [Citation needed]
And I'm calling it now, the shit pathing which plagued the first two games will rear its ugly head in the third.

The worst part with Sims is that they just make 1/10 of the game and then release the other parts as expansionpacks, to enjoy it somewhat you must wait like 3+ years. I'd never pay money for this game because of this.
I think The Sims is an interesting / unique concept and all, but the exp packs, the engine (a seamless engine with everything connected would make the game 10x better) and sometimes idiotic (sometimes funny) AI really kills it.
The positive; it's kind of fun to roleplay if you set it up right (almost endelss possiblities, esp. with mods), the mod community is very creative which is nice.. The (other) bad part; the mod community is greedy and wants you to donate to be able to download their work.

I think a big negative on the series is their inability to address gameplay issues. They often releases patches to fix bugs, but they rarely adjust gameplay issues (like bad pathing) with expansion packs or patches.
Pathing is probably the biggest issue in the game as it causes constant issues in a crowded house. Sims freak out of the slightest perceived pathing problem and then start dropping actions because of it.
Other gameplay issues, like how long it takes them to cook a meal, eat a meal, or shower also really conspire to drag down the gameplay. Why add more things to fill up their time and then limit that time with an hour long bowl of cereal..I've heard they fixed that in Castaway Stories, so why can't they bring that back in to the full game?
I think you should also be able to shift click an object which will cause them to hurry to the activity. If you shift click the shower they run to it rather than plod through the house.

And it had quite a nice sense of humour on many points.
