My impression now is the TS3 is largely being marketed as the Sims game in which you can't do anything that most long-term sims players have come to count on doing.
They did that when they ruined sim city, with simcity societies too.  They wanted to attract people who weren't into sim city, and managed to alienate most of their current simcity fan base.  You'd think they'd learn from their previous mistake?  

Coming next: a remake of SimFarm in which you cannot farm!

I think the most amusing thing is that EA appears to have released this info slightly prematurely and so took it back down again.  Now the BBS is going mad.

Funny comments. Someone is choosing to believe it will be out on 20th. Must be like choosing to believe in intelligent design.

Quote
Actually I see where everybody is coming from. I'm not believing it because they are still in the meeting and I personally did not see the update. I want to see that for myself as in me physically being able to click on the sims 3 page and see a update not clicking on your links. I also want to see every game store change the date before I am going to believe it and something on EA about it not The Sims3 website. Then I will believe it! That is just how i feel and i dont need anybody to come to my house and confirm it. I will believe it when i see more than one piece of evidence!

Someone else is looking for an articel, I hope they find one, whatever that may be.

Yes, because a press release on the official site is totally not proof.

My hope is that part of the reason they are delaying four months instead of the one I would have expected is because they are adding neighborhood creation tools. That is what I would need to actually want to acquire it. I don't actually expect that to be the case. No. I'm sure they'll squash a couple bugs, create two game-killing ones in the process, and find some new shiny feature that will appeal to the tweens...ooh! I know! Free automatic plastic surgery at teen stage. Bigger boobs and nose jobs, whether you like it or not.

EDIT: Release seems to be pulled now.

As it is, EA posted a very huge loss for the last quarter, which was posted today.They're laying off an additional 1,000 people in the wake of a very disappointing Christmas season, and that will make the release delay even longer. When you have nobody testing it, or working out the bugs, you have to push the release date back a little bit.
June 2 is the most optimistic date they've given. I'm of the mind that it might be until September, given their financial woes, or longer. They have to do something drastic to improve the quality so that they can have some sales when it is released-as it is right now a huge number of Sims 2 players are turned right off by the "features" that Sims 3 has been given, and thus the sales are not going to improve unless the quality does.
They're just very desperate for some more money, anyway they can get it. They have to have this game sell well enough to show their investors and stockholders that they're a viable company, and not get put into a Chapter 11 routine by force.

I laughed, but suddenly I'm concerned. That '20010' thing, the 12 probably thinks that's the correct way to write it. Horrifying thought.

Think about it, a 12 would have been born in the 90s, 1991-1997, give or take a year depending on month of birth. Their only decade change thus far would have been to 2000. 2001, 2002 ... 2008, 2009, 20010... It must seem perfectly logical, to a 12.

(Also, it's ever so slightly disturbing to think of people on the internet being born in the 90s, especially the latter half of them. It makes me feel old, though I'm only a 24 myself.)

Or perhaps the person who wrote it made a typo. You never know.

Good god what the hell could possibly take an extra 3 months?  These people couldn't make a game without bugs if they had a lifetime to work on it.  They're better off releasing it now and letting the talented people fix the bugs like JM.  I bet in 3 months they'll achieve virtually nothing where as JM would take mere DAYS to fix the bugs.

Edit: By the way anyone looked at the official forum?  The sheep are going insane.

Their 2009 fiscal year ends on March 31, and 2010 fiscal year starts April 1, 2009.

That is what the delay is for-their accounting. Any losses for the game would be put into next year's sheets. Doesn't mean really that they're going to improve anything. I think it's for the figures and making the stockholders happy.

I wish they hadn't quit working on Sims 2.  We could've had another "borked" EP to play around with by now.  I had hoped awhile ago that they wouldn't quit at Apartment Life, because more can be done with Sims 2.  Superstar would have been great for Sims 2.

I thought the Obsessed Fan was funny..... well, and creepy.  I read somewhere that the character was based on someone in the Maxis staff -- which again is creepy.  Maybe it's Rod Humble in disguise?  Or perhaps that's him in his true form.

Had EA made a Superstar expansion pack for The Sims 2, the only reason I'd get it would be for the joy of clicking "Smite {annoying celebrity}" on the batbox.

I miss the Tragic Clown. Does anyone notice it is on the milk carton? Sometimes it's Bella, other times it's him. Anyways enough Nostalgia.

I think they delayed it because the last creators camp didn't do so well. I think the delay is one of the better things to look forward to. Think about it. All the baby, moronic, egotistical, badly dressed, ugly 12's wait the delay for The Sims 3, their whining and expectations growing. Finally to be crushed when they get the game realizing it is crap. But the best part is when their parents start complaining to EA, because their obnoxious, stupid, ignorant monsters didn't get exactly what they wanted.

Their press post is back up.  I'm guessing the idiot who runs the website updated it too early so they had to quickly remove it again although of course by then everyone already knew.

Sounds completely and utterly despicable.  Although it sounds EXACTLY like the kind of thing EA would do.  I doubt many other game companies would push back their release dates to mess with their share prices.

By the way notice how they never once use the word "delay" anywhere ever.  As if it was always going to be June 2.

Take all the time you want, EA.  I'm still waffling on whether to buy Uni or not.  Of course by now it probably comes with Securom.  I shall continue to waffle.

I guess I'm not the target customer.

To 'celebrate' this news, EA released 3 new screenshots, a new movie and the boxshot. Check the movie here: Gametrailers.com

So they're celebrating their delay by putting out a movie and a bunch of screenshots?  Does anyone else find this completely retarded?  Also i think the boxart looks like ass.  The stand in ones they had until now were much better.
