The Sims 2 Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the really-big-computer-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Electronic Arts today announced that The Sims 2, the next generation of the #1 PC game of all time, is in development." Seems like the new 'unique selling point' for the sequel is "the.. addition of genetics, with the DNA of Sims passed down through generations", but there's a whole heap of other new bells and whistles. The game will be previewed properly at E3, and the franchise has now sold over 24 million units as a whole.

    Until it has a first person shooter mode, and that is the main way it is played, count me out.

    Really the worst thing I've ever heard of involved the Sims. Someone bragged about building a bathroom with a phone and a toilet, replacing the door with a wall when their Sim went to relieve himself, and the Sim would just try to phone for pizzas because he was so hungry.. But the pizza guy couldn't deliver.

    Quite sad really.
