The Sims 3 launches on consoles and PSP this autumn
After selling millions of PCs and the Mac version since its release last summer, The Sims 3 will finally make its way to consoles this year.
The game will be appearing on the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 and DS – PSP owners will just have to suck it up (cough…and buy the excellent PC version). EA said that each version is tailored to match your particular platform.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, for example, will (as with the PC version) allows you to make your own content and share it worldwide without having to leave the game. In addition, there are achievements, awards and more that can be published on Facebook. Update: These versions include a code of non-transferable Series features online.
The Wii version has a resort, new “mission” of adventure, and the game “moments of life”, with prizes.
The DS version will feature stylus control for construction, creation and customization. “Story Mode” will see that the control of the life of a family and “enjoy special moments of life.” Finally, there will be problems and unlock tons.
These certainly don’t sound like sloppy ports for a quick buck — kudos!
Common to all versions will be brand new features, like the unlockable “Karma Powers”, which should prove especially fun for the sadistic players, as you can instantly make your Sims “get lucky” (woo hoo), give them “instant beauty”, or curse them with an “epic fail.” It’s noted you should be careful with these powers, as they can come back to get you (karma’s a bitch).
