What Now? - sims3luva22 - 25-12-2008 03:43 AM

Happy Holidays everyone!

I just wanted to play a guessing game of What R They Doing Now?

All you have to do is use your imaginations and guestimate what EA is doing in these last few months upon releasing TS3.

I believe they are finishing the touches on the prima guide/hints and tips book.

What do you think?

LOL!

I think they're done and just toying with us Tongue

Tweaking, or laughing at us while we wait.

More than likely the latter.  LOL.

Well, are all the copies of the game made?? If not, then that. Or I sure hope they smooth out the movements of the sims.. like in the devious stealing candy video, the way the lady sneaked/snuck really annoyed me. it was too robot... and some of their movents are a bit still... ohwell, thats my opinion..  {blink}

I agree with Majick.

They're done, and they don't want it to seem like it.

They won't have that creator's camp planned and had already mailed out the flyers and invitations, if they weren't done.  They wouldn't want people building stuff on buggy games now.  Then the promotional coupons can be used on the 22nd...they would not be doing all of this if it wasn't done. 

As they said in a recent article that they are doing more previews and trailers, because they have a product to show off.  In October or early November, Ben said they were over 90% finished.  These last months are for hyping their product and putting trailers out.  It's their last chance to build ultimate hype, so blood-thirsty people can run to stores on release date.

They are still probably doing a little bit of bug testing, but they enjoy the chaos that goes on in the BBS and other forums about the game not being done, and what's in, and what's gonna be taken out.

If they announce that they are done, there would be nothing but complainer threads about, "I wanted this in the game.", "This is it?  I am not satisifed.",  "Okay, they are done, so it would be out on time."  They enjoy speculation threads and stuff like that.

Hmmm.... I think they are creating new vids for us for upcoming updates! Maybe one with a pregnant sim that constantly gets preggers or deals with triplets and chasing them around.

I think that they are either: working on EP's, SPs, a patch to fix minor bugs, making videos/trailers, or all Smile

I think they're finished but they just don't want to release it. They could also be doing a few small fixes/tweaks here and there. We all know they love to tease us... what was the point of revealing the game so early this year?
