Simsville eingestellt

Wie ich heute früh auf CGO lesen musste, wird Maxis Simsville einstellen, da das Spiel, welches 2002 erscheinen sollte und eine Mischung zwischen The Sims und Sim City bot, nicht den qualitativen Anforderungen der renomierten Spieleschmiede entsprach.

Maxis announced today that Simsville has been canceled. The latest in their popular Sim line of games, it was scheduled for release in 2002. It wasn't up to the standards of Maxis, according to a spokesperson for Maxis, who also stated that despite this, the team did a great job and is being reassigned to other products like The Sims Online and other future projects.

Simsville was to be a game somewhere between The Sims and SimCity, where you place individual homes, businesses, roads and city structures. Simsville was to retain some of the voyeurism of the Sims with more of the planning of SimCity. It was designed to explore outside of the Sims' houses, but with a product like the upcoming expansion The Sims Hot Date, they're already offering some of that functionality. Simsville also was to have some more "adult" content in the form of crime, liquor stores, and general seediness.
