Earlier today EA Mobile posted some screenshots from two of their previously announced upcoming iOS games on their Facebook page. Based on the little bit that is shown, it seems that fans of the previous iPhone versions of The Sims games will be getting a new iteration of that series called The Sims 3: Ambitions. For the more violence-prone audience, EA Sports MMA will bring the competitive sport of mixed martial arts to the touch screen. Click on any of the images below to get a larger view.
The Sims 3: Ambitions – This newest Sims game looks to include all of the same customization and social interaction that you’ve come to know from the series, but with an added focus on fulfilling your particular character’s passions and turning them into paying professions. In the PC version of Ambitions, you could become a firefighter and would have to put out hazardous fires and rescue other Sims from burning buildings, along with the more mundane tasks like properly maintaining your equipment. There were also more creative jobs like a tattoo artist or stylist that let you actually change the look of your fellow Sims. Other cool additions will be the ability to raise children and build and customize your own living spaces.
It remains to be seen what exactly will be in the iPhone edition of The Sims 3: Ambitions, but based on these screens chances are it will be similar to its PC counterpart. An exact release date hasn’t been given aside from Summer 2010, and with Summer just about to be over we might very well be seeing the game released in the coming weeks. Until then you can join in the discussion going in our upcoming games forum for The Sims 3: Ambitions.
EA Sports MMA – While this title was announced way back at E3 in June, there still isn’t a whole lot of information about it. What we do know is that EA Sports MMA will be a mixed martial arts fighting game similar to the popular UFC, but without actually being affiliated or licensed by the UFC. Still, if you follow the sport of MMA you should recognize some of the fighters in EA Sports MMA like Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko who are shown in the screenshots below. It also appears that you will be able to customize and train your fighter.
Again, a firm release date hasn’t been set for EA Sports MMA, but we would venture to guess that it can’t be too far off since screens are being posted on Facebook. What we’re really interested to see is how the game will actually control with the touch screen, and how much depth there will be in regards to different moves and holds. We’ll let you know if we hear anything more about EA Sports MMA, and in the meantime head on over to the upcoming game thread to talk about the game in our forums.
The channel that this video comes from is connected to a site that cracks apps. O_O
It even says the name of the site in the title of this clip....
Just thought you'd guys might want to know, I remember hearing about them on iPTF.
Well its a good site im getting from there game that out in NZ
before they even out in my store ;) and then buying them if i like
So it's a good site because they crack apps for you? Uh right and you buy them if you like them? Why am I not believing you? Also that's what lite versions are for, it the game doesn't have one that doesn't give you the right to steal from the developer.
But anyways, that's not what this topic is about. Good thing the video was changed.
Anybody else notice they have a missing clip of fishing kings in the 30 second mark? Well, now I know they use Final Cut Pro.
Someone didn't proof this well enough. Silly gameloft.
LOL@ "since really, coop play makes everything more fun."
So they read and listened to what people said about the first dungeon hunter... And all they heard was co-op multiplayer...? I for one think multiplayer games are crap on idevices. I would much rather have them give a better storyline and quests rather than a shitty co-op mode.
and no mention of gangstar that was in the podcast???
is no one else waiting for this???
Star Battalion looks more like Star Fox or Rogue Squadron than Galaxy on Fire -- lots of ground-based shooting missions. GOF2 is more of a free-ranging exploration game.
I wish they could get the Star Wars license for something like that, but Star Battalion seems to have the requisite city planet, ice planet, giant mothership, and desert planet.
It would be nice to see games like Dungeon Hunter 2 supporting Game Center. Be able to send messages to your friends in Game Center would be nice also :)
that girl is hawt o_O mmm...
Star Battalion is a direct knock off of an old-school (and quite possibly one of the best space games ever) Terminal Velocity. Needless to say, even though it is not Terminal Velocity I am super excited about this release!
Listening to people talking about how good they are at ripping off other games...
Pointless podcasts.
+1. all hail the God of Game Cloning
