Not that Impressive - Majick - 01-04-2008 01:41 AM
You know, I just looked through the screen shots that are up on TS3.com and ... I'm not impressed
I was really looking forward to some much higher-tech looking designs and expressions. But the furniture looks very similar to what we already have in TS2 and the Sims don't look all that different at all. I mean, aside from adding a 3 at the end of TheSims what's really changing?
Sure, the gameplay is going to be entirely different, but I wany my SIMS to have a much fresher appearance. The change from TS to TS2 was amazing, and just blew your mind. But ... there's nothing in TS3 that's making me want the game any time soon. I was kind of looking forward to it, but now, I'm not so sure.

It's been said plenty of times that the apperance you see now still has a lot to go on. It's a MAJOR change imho. There will be skins, different facial movements and features, not to mention the ability to make (im sure) all of the ethnicities in the world. Oh, and their eyes actually move- I'd take that over the regular sims2 any day.

There are plenty of graphical changes.Have you seen the comparison shots on snooty sims?you should check them out.Plus the game graphics arent what is important to The sims 3 it's the game play elements that they've added to the game which is important.

I wasn't impressed when I first saw it, either.
Plus, it's kind of too soon for me to have a TS3.... I only have University EP for TS2! Wait until I'm ready!! :-\

Well I was very impressed with the plants and trees, they have made a large improvement there.

Okay, admittedly, when you first look at TS3, the graphical changes aren't as overwhelming as was with the change from TS1 to TS2, which I agree was amazing. However, they haven't finished the game yet, and I know for sure that the graphics you see now will be improved by the time of release. And plus, like Elm said, you need to check out the comparison shots to see the full difference. Look at the lighting and detail that's been added. You can really see it. And they have shadows that change position throughout the day, leaves from trees that sway in the wind... it's a massive change in my opinion. Maybe on first look it isn't so great, but it will be. Graphically they can't make the jump like they did with TS1 to TS2, because that was 2D to 3D and there was so many possibilities graphics wise for TS2, where as in this jump, we could never really expect as much from it.

I'm overwhelmed about the lighting changes
I think there's huge improvement in the two games. When the Sims 2 first came out, everyone was excited that we could change every detail about their faces and choose seperate outfits for sleeping and working out etc. But now with the Sims 3, we can change everything about their body too! I love that I can finally make different weights, sizes, heights and ethnics. Sounds cool 8) They did what they did in the Sims 2 for the PS2 - you can edit the clothing in CAS! How cool is that? Sims can be even more unique now!
The facial expressions are great. Reactions and movements are awesome too - I can't wait to try this all out.
If you compare the games, there's an even bigger difference you see. There are so many gameplay differences now. You can't just say they're the same game :-[

there might not be this huge difference in the graphics between TS2 and TS3 as there was between TS1 and TS2, but that was only bcoz they changed from 2D to 3D ... do you want them to make it 4D? (if that exists) .. i was not expecting much of a difference anyways, it is the difference in the gameplay and the details added that we want the most. Plus, i REALLY want my pc to be able to handle it, any more improved graphics would be a killer to many potential customers ... however, expect it to improve atleast slightly

Hopefully it's still too soon to really notice the major changes that the Sims 3 offers in comparison to the Sims 2; As far as I've researched I have yet to see any videos out there. (That would show gameplay and differences and whatnot)- I agree and disagree about the way the Sims 3 looks; although it doesn't look like a major change, it does look a tad better (except I don't like the screenshots I've seen of how the facial structure looks) - Like for instance, the new hair colors looks really really nice.
I think it might be a little too soon to tell how different (or better) the Sims 3 is going to be.
Who knows what they have waiting for us.

They still got about a year to work on the game, and I am sure most of us will love the game more and more.
After all the pictures and what I have been reading about the game, I really want to try this new game.
