Rumors from GDC 2007

The Game Developers Conference has come and gone but not before some juicy rumors were unveiled. My sources from within the conference had some rather interesting tidbits of information to share with me upon their return.

Publishing giant EA, publisher of the highly successful “The Sims” franchise has already started work on the third game in the series, with major improvements to the grid system for item placement planned.

The Sims related rumors don’t end there. A new version of The Sims based on The Sims 2 is being developed for, but not exclusive to, the "console with the weird controller", presumably meaning the ever popular Wii. This is in addition to the already revealed My Sims game aimed at Japan which will see release later this year on the Wii.

It’s already common knowledge that the upcoming Mass Effect is the first in a planned trilogy and apparently, even though the first game hasn’t hit stores, the development of Mass Effect 2 has already started.

That’s all for now. As always, GameTime News Network always will always keep its ear to the street for new rumors and information. Of course, we cannot confirm any of these rumors and advise you to take them with a grain of salt.
