From the home of Farmville were people were amazed on planting, investing and reaping crops, Facebook, the world’s largest and most popular social networking site will soon be featuring a new game that will give those hopeless romantic, secret admirers and the like the chance to covet the one they fantasized via Facebook flirting upon the launching of “The Sims Social.”
There was no clear feature of what this new game will purely offer. As part of marketing techniques, Sims preferred to give a little preview about their new game to let the people do the thinking and then a lot of queries will be made which they expect to make the launching of this new game this summer to be more anticipated.
The tie up of the world’s largest PC franchise with the world’s largest social network (Facebook) is something that should be look forward.
The concept about “virtual flirting” was developed based on the video trailer shown. Here are the scenarios: The video started with a Facebook messages exchange by two female friends talking about a guy who had changed his status into “single.” Then one of the girls was quoted: “OMG!! They finally broke out!” and that was the start of the termed virtual flirting through The Sims Social. She invited him to be part of The Sim Socials and things flow in, dancing together, they watch movie while holding hands, went into the room, took a shower together with a notable and sound like “wohoo” and more.
Stated on the issued press release, the company had said that their new game The Sims Social had a wide scope showing variety of emotions virtually from intense feelings from the first kiss to expression of jokes and pranks. They can do anything.
“The game is alive, brimming with the humor, romance, mischief and creativity that only The Sims can provide,” Jeff Karp, executive vice president of Play Label at EA, said.
