Sims in the City
The first news about the Sims moving to the city in Urban Sims.
http://xbox.ign.com/articles/507/507261p1.html

April 16, 2004 - The Sims have been causing a ruckus in the suburbs in the PC games and both The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out on the consoles, but it's time to move on up to a bigger location. To get the Sims into the city, Maxis has announced that they are developing a new title called Urban Sims (working title ), that is scheduled for release this fall. Trading in their complacent lives that were constantly threatened by combustible toasters, the Sims are taking on a hipper 24/7 lifestyle and earning reputations as style mavens. With a whole new art style and some new gameplay, the Sims are growing up.


One of the biggest changes is the gameplay is that the job is no longer an invisible component of the game and gamers will have constant control of the Sims. Where before the Sims would disappear off-screen and come back a little more tired and grumpy, jobs will now become a much more integral part of the action. Walking down a street, a sushi chef might yell out that he needs help making sushi and the Sim can jump in and go to work to make some simoleans. Doing a good job at work will bring in promotions and access to power socials to meet other characters in the game. This is key because success in Urban Sims is all about the reputation.

After making some simoleans, it will be possible to buy some better gear and work on styling up the Sim. With a more detailed character customization than in previous games, it will be possible to create a highly unique Sim. Gamers will be able to tell if other characters like their style in the game since they'll be able to see other characters mimicking them. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it's also a sure sign of others' respect. If the Sim gets more respect, he or she will get a better reputation and become more important in the Sim world.

The city is set to have different areas, each with its own unique feel and soundtrack. Gaining friends in a variety of areas will be vital in terms of getting a better reputation and gaining even more influence. As the Sim works on getting a serious rep, others on the street will recognize him or her as a true player. After getting some serious status, a Sim can even influence entire cultures in different parts of the city.





Anyone who's lived the 24/7 lifestyle knows that life isn't possible without at least one electronic device in the pocket. With a new user interface, Urban Sims will be introducing email, a cellphone, and an inventory box that will all look like a PDA. These will help to keep track of the missions and keep the Sim in contact with the rest of the world while wandering around in it.

To make sure that all of the styles and other aspects of the game are similar to what's actually being seen on the streets of modern cities, Maxis has brought in some cultural advisors for the project. We met with one of the advisors, "Hawaii Mike" Salmon, who has earned his own street cred by promoting hip-hop tours, editing the lifestyle section of The Source magazine for a few years, and even starting up his own lifestyle magazine, LTD Quarterly. Mike and the other advisors are on hand to make sure that the scenarios and missions in the game ring true for anyone who's spent time in a big city. They will also be making sure that the overall look of the whole game will look more modern with a whole new visual style.

Hit up the Media Page for a couple of images that show off this new style. Check back later when we'll have more information about Urban Sims.

EA 發佈《模擬市民》最新作《模擬市民：上流社會》
http://www.gamer.com.tw/GNN/view.php...y=2004&m=04&c=

EA（美商藝電）今天宣布《模擬市民：上流社會》原名：《The URBZ》目前正在下列幾個遊戲平台進行研發工作，包括 PS2、Xbox、GameCube 以及 Game Boy Advance。這是首度模擬市民居住在以名聲掛帥的城市之中，玩家可以自行創造市民喜歡的獨特風格並建立自己的身份地位，成為城市中的 Urbz（要人）。《模擬市民：上流社會》將在 5 月 12 ～ 14 日於洛杉磯所舉行的 E3 大展中嶄露頭角，並且預計在 2004 年秋天於各個遊戲平台同時上市。

　　「我們將模擬市民電視遊樂器版本帶往一個更重大的革新方向及全新遊戲操控的境界；模擬市民直撃城市並成為眾所矚目的 Urbz（要人），她們擁有大膽流行的外表及風格。」EA 的副總裁兼任 Maxis 工作室的遊戲執行製作人 Sinjin Bain 說道「這也是第一次玩家可以在遊戲中控制市民一年 365 天時時刻刻的生活，不論是工作、享樂、贏得街頭聲譽或是探索城市的每分每秒，玩家都能真正的主導。」

◆ 關於電視遊樂器的版本（PS2、Xbox）

　　《模擬市民：上流社會》遊戲中玩家可以帶領模擬市民前往的工作地點例如：「壽司小吃店」、「贓車拆卸場」或「非法爆竹工廠」，並可挑戰強勢的老闆。良好的表現可替玩家獲得工作職等的升遷，並擁有更好的社交能力進而影響其他的模擬市民。在《模擬市民：上流社會》中，快節奏的生活步調在遊戲操控時顯而易見，包括直接控制技工、建造技能、社交能力的激烈工作挑戰。

　　《模擬市民：上流社會》這款遊戲建構在全新的圖像引擎之上，模擬市民居住在一個生氣勃勃的城市裡，享受生活的樂趣並擁有各自獨特的生活方式。遊戲的風格擷取了都市豐富多變的脈動，市民能享受在高級購物區的名牌購物樂，還可一窺放蕩不羈的藝術家工作室，甚至歷史悠久的地鐵車站，在在凸顯都市多采多姿的特性。此外，玩家可利用新的人物成像引擎，炫耀市民特立獨行的生活態度與風格，例如運用刺青或鼻環做為個人的特色與表徵。

　　玩家靠著建立人際關係以增加他們的聲譽，並且影響其他的模擬市民，以獲得進入城市特定區域、工作機會以及屬於自己的生活方式。取得進入城市中所有區域的權利、並且得以居住其中、選擇自己喜歡的生活型態，並且成為城市中具有舉足輕重的「要角」，則是遊戲的最終目標。

　　《模擬市民：上流社會》將會支援 SONY 的 EyeToy 裝置，玩家可以利用 EyeToy 下載自己的影像檔輸入遊戲。當他們的名聲有所提昇時，他們或模擬市民的影像將顯現在遊戲之中。

◆ 關於 GBA 掌上型遊樂器的版本

　　《模擬市民：上流社會》在 GBA 掌上型遊樂器的版本，是 EA 2003 年 GBA 平台產品銷售排行第一名模擬市民系列遊戲的續集，並由 EA 的 Maxis 工作室與傑出的工作室 Griptonite 共同合力研發。遊戲中玩家將身處大城市裡，藉由勤奮的工作增加模擬市民的聲譽，進而獲得進入城市中較熱門的區域。玩家的起始點位於城市較偏遠的地區，若是玩家遭到公司解雇，將會落入「吹牛老爹」的地盤，然後接管整個城市。當玩家想要建立聲譽成為城市中呼風喚雨的角色時，將會受到許多阻撓其邪惡計畫的挑戰。

　　玩家擁有新的運載工具例如水陸兩用氣墊船，可用來探索 25 個全新的地點，包含義大利的 Urbania 、模擬住宅區或河港…等，可與當地居民產生密切互動；控制 8 個生動的小遊戲，例如 Moogoo Monkey Madness 和摩托車越野障礙賽、解放新的生理需求，還可收集超過 120 種以上的物件。除此之外，玩家還可將兩台 GBA 連線進行小遊戲肉搏戰，解開全新的遊戲特色並互通彼此擁有的物品。

呢隻唔同The Sims 2(不過可能係同一遊戲引擎開發),所以你可以當係外傳或相關作品.而PC版模擬市民 2會有中文版
