The Sims Medieval

[Pam]

The previews so far have mentioned it will be very quest-oriented.  However, not quests like World Adventures quests.  These quests will have different possibilities depending on what kinds of Sims you're using to solve them. 

A small update today:  the game has a release date of March 22, and they've announced a limited edition is available (for the same price, $49.99).  I'm not sure if they're implying that price is just for pre-orders of the Ltd ed. or not. 

Do you have a link for that?

@Glic2000- What country are you in?  I am in the US and on Amazon it has a release day of March 15, 2011.  Which I know may or may not be set in stone.  So far the only title they offer is a limited edition.  It doesn't explain why it is a limited edition though.

Here is a link for the product overview for the US Amazon site.

I found a great article on Game Spot.  It seems the Limited Edition includes the game plus some extra content:  3 themed throne rooms and 2 exclusive outfits.  Also very interesting...  it says this title (Sims Medieval) is the first in a series!

That article says March 22nd for the release date.  I wonder which one is correct.

The EA site says March 22, 2010.

Awesome. I wonder if Carl would feel it would be worth it to build a stand alone forum to encompass this whole new series? I can see value in keeping Medieval and other related series' games out of this forum for tidiness. No one would have to twist my arm to construct new Tournaments to entice players to those other forums.

He originally didn't want a separate forum for Medieval, but now that we know it's the first in a series, I'm sure he'll re-think it.  As more information becomes available, we can give it some serious thought.  It's pretty exciting.

Perhaps not an entirely different forum, but a new section to this one; If you click "HOME" under your avatar thingy on the upper left, you're taken to a page with all the sections inside "Carl and Pam's Sims 3 Forum", with + and - buttons, so an idea would be making another oversection (I don't know if that's what it's called) and name it "Carl and Pam's Sims Medieval Forum" or something like that.

Now to my opinion on Medieval:
I think EA finally managed to figure how to bring back the Makin' Magic expansion (with new features) without harming the entire game (Apartment Life's magic was too chaotic and messy). I like it that they kept the UI pretty much the same, but orange doesn't seem to fit it.

I was honestly dying for a new medieval game, as all my other ones got either completed or boring. The fun thing of Medieval is that it will obviously have it's own continuations. The Sims 2 had the whole The Sims Stories parallel, The Sims 3 will have Medieval. It's not called "series" for no reason.

By the way, new simlish words! (Or old words? Because it's on medieval times...)

I'm wondering if the series might be all kinds of different settings.  Like maybe The Sims Outer Space or The Sims 3000 (the year 3000).  Or maybe The Sims Western.  I'm not very clever about thinking up things like that, but I know EA's staff would be able to.  I don't think the series itself will be Medieval.

[Naga]

Well, just picture any of the situations that "happen" when your sim uses the time-travel machine from ambitions, and make it "real". There, you have a continuation for Medieval. Lol.
If TSMed sells well, they will probably try for a future sci-fi one too. All this imagining is killing me.

Oh, yeah - I love this idea!  Sims on Safari.  Sims in the Himalayas, in search of Shangri-la.  The possibilities are endless.

SOunds like it will be similar to the Sims 2 Stories series, i.e. Castaway.

I just noticed a new post at The Big Download.  Apparently this is a new trailer:

Looks similar to what we've seen before, although I think it has narration by Patrick Stewart.

[Saltypaws]

The one trailer is a new one and hilarious.  The sim that was attacked by some sort of monster and slammed on the plank looked like that could leave a mark, lol.  That looks awesome.  Looks like it is going to be an awesome game, good grief, something else to look forward to.

I'm don't really like the idea of The Sims being a me dievial game. I always thought Sims came into being by the supreme entity.
