EA told us there is going to be a dozen of them, so there will probably be about twelve missions. Every mission has its own set of quests you need to complete in order to fulfill your mission. For example having the biggest army and also taking over a random number of other kingdoms or another mission to ban all the deceases from your kingdom. When you start up a new kingdom you have to select a mission for your kingdom. After finishing the quest you may choose another sim to control. You have this temporarily control until you have finished the quest. In order to fulfill your quests you get the control over a few sims of your kingdom. With the quests you get the chance to expand your kingdom. At the beginning of the game you select a mission, then you need to complete quests until you have completed your mission and thereby play out the mission. No, now you have the control of a whole kingdom. You do not have the control over one household and over the Sims of this household. In short: medieval times.īut not only the setting is different, the whole game differs from The Sims 3. The game is set in a different time period where the medical care is very primitive compared to ours, it was normal to nail someone to a pillory and priest where just as important as the king himself. This because the situation is very different from the other Sims games. It is a new game with a new gameplay which you cannot compare to the ones of The Sims 1, 2 or 3. The very first thing they told us is that The Sims Medieval is not an expansion pack for the Sims 3. I want to point out again that during the presentation the game we saw was in a very early developing stage, so nothing is final yet and EA is probably going to change a few things. So this preview will be about the things I saw and heard during the presentation. But unfortunately, the game was in such an early developing stage we couldn’t. I would have done anything in order to play this game after the presentation. Or maybe it felt this short because I was so overwhelmed by the game and the time seemed to fly by. The presentation only lasted for 20 minutes or so. Now we finally got the chance to see what it was about and how it looked like. We were the first ones, except for the EA employees of course, who got to see The Sims Medieval. We came to see the game, of course!Īfter the knight tournament the presentation finally began. But, this was not the reason why we were here. I really enjoyed it all, especially the tournament. Because of this, we got into the Medieval atmosphere and all the clues made us really curious and enthusiastic. I was really surprised about all the effort EA put into the introduction of this preview. Before we got a presentation about the game, we had a delightful medieval lunch and we got to see the knight tournament we were waiting for. She took our doubts away, today we definitely would get to see The Sims Medieval. First we had a short tour through the EA office by one of the employees of EA. There we saw a real medieval knight tournament, we would get to see this later that day. This because when we went in the huge EA office, we crossed a field of grass. The very next day it was indeed confirmed that we would get to see The Sims Medieval. It was obvious tomorrow we get to see The Sims Medieval! We also got a VIP-card with a knight and a medieval chair printed on it. The menu was specially made for our group, there were pictures of knights on it. We had dinner at a restaurant with a medieval like theme. The evening before we would get to see the preview of The Sims Medieval, EA already gave us some clues on what we could expect. As a Sims fansite we already knew that the website address was reserved, but we weren’t sure if this was one of the games EA would show us. EA was not planning to tell me this until the day itself. Before I am going to talk about the game itself, I want to tell something about what happened the day before we got to see the game.īefore I went to America I did not know which games to expect. The atmosphere of the medieval period EA created was just perfect, I really like the medieval setting. I was enthusiast about The Sims Medieval from the very first minute and when I saw the first images of it I fell completely in love. This preview will be about the second game I got to see, called The Sims Medieval! And me, Lex, or better known as Xelles, from Sims3nieuws was there too. There were about thirteen journalists from different countries and media, there was someone from the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and there was someone from. The Group of Lucky ones who did get to see the games was really small. Both games were never shown to public yet. Last month, on the 8th of July, EA put me on a plane and took me to Redwood City, near San Fransisco, so I could get a sneak peak of two of their latest games.
