EA
Announces Plans For The Sims 2 (thanks
Frans) is the press release
announcing plans for the Sims sequel. Here's a bit on the game, which will allow
you to pass on your virtual legacy to your virtual heirs: "More life-like
Sims, all-new gameplay, and the ground-breaking addition of genetics, with the
DNA of Sims passed down through generations gives players a more vivid,
realistic, and in-depth Sims experience. All of this takes place in a new
amazingly life-like 3-D world. The Sims 2 will be unveiled to industry insiders
on May 13th at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition in Los Angeles and is
scheduled to ship in early 2004."
