The Game: World
built 655 days ago
Building on the excitement surrounding the recent announcement that MySims is being developed especially for the Wii platform, The Sims Division is thrilled to unveil a new level in game. Just beyond Town Center lies the forest—a wild and wondrous world filled with giant trees and hidden nooks. Explorers can follow winding paths and search dark crannies, never knowing what surprise lies around the next bend. Perhaps it’s a mysterious new plant, ripe and ready for harvesting, or maybe they will encounter a hidden cave. By searching out every corner, players will expand their MySims world and greatly increase their creative space. Expect this first game in a revolutionary new line from the developers of The Sims Division in fall 2007.

With E3 moving to a 5,000 person media-centric event, GDC has been elevated to the world's largest trade event dedicated to the game industry, with attendees numbering more than 12,500 including more than 1,000 members of the working press. 2007 will be the first year of GDC's long-term relocation to San Francisco, after its high growth trajectory necessitated the move to accommodate the expanding attendee base. When GDC was last in San Francisco in 2005, the show occupied the three floors of Moscone West. For GDC 07, the organizers reserved both Moscone West and Moscone North. With the Moscone West show floor virtually sold out, the organizers have now additionally secured the keynote hall in Moscone South in order to convert Moscone North into a second dedicated show floor. This will allow the GDC to accommodate the voluminous requests coming in for exhibition space and to include fresh exhibitor opportunities, such as the all-new Game Demo Theater.
