    No. I will not use that crappy feature when way better editing effects and options are available from even Windows Movie Maker. First off, it doesn't look like you can add more that one sound at once. And what about voice-acting? And what if you want to use your own music? And what about green-screening? BS, just release the damn game already.

    This is cool for when windows movie maker decides to brake on me.I sure hope you can add your own music to this and not choose from a pre set list.

    it's nice that i can edit video clips, but i'd rather see the actual game play

    This movie editing tool looks nice, but whats up with that commercial on the right side? We have to pay for ads now?
    These kinds of things doesnt really interest me as far as gameplay is concerned though, its like the community thingie in Spore, for me its just there.

    Lion Head already made a game like this. Still may be fun.

  • TileToad

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 10:10 am PT

    Ooh.. tempting!!! Though, I think I'll stick with my Sony Vegas editor for a little while longer.

  • Enok6

    windows movie maker any one ?

  • OGKNav

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 9:19 am PT

    Why didn't they just make this an add-on downloadable from the site?...
    Ugh... you just want to Leon Suplex every EA employee.

  • Tizzsnoodle

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 8:41 am PT

    they spend all their time making this pointless feature when they could have put all that time and attention to making this multiplayer...........

    im speechless

  • joecwild

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 8:15 am PT

    ummm who would actually do that the movies look rubbish just concentrate on the gameplay

  • Emperor_Jimmu

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 5:31 am PT

    That was painful.

  • jjhbravo

    Posted Apr 16, 2009 5:03 am PT

    This is just another useless feature, if someone wanted to make a film like this they would get an on screen editing programme and use a better video editor! No point! :@

    Looks like they want a new series of strangerhood

  • PredatorRules

    doesn't impress me at all

    It looks fine. Just because you don't plan to use it doesn't mean it's crap. I've seen some pretty good Sims 2 machinama, if the devs want to make it easier for the creative types to get creative then I'm all for it. And if you've got other editing software you can use by all means use it, but not everyone does. Again. They're just making it easier for the folk who might be interested in that kind of thing to get into. I don't get why people get so snarky. It doesn't need to be in the game sure, but I'm betting the devs have realized that with the previous Sims game folk enjoyed making little movies, stories and whatnot and have reacted accordingly to make life easier for them.

    And that's almost 4 minutes of my life wasted. It just looks pathetic.

    _white_rabbit Posted Apr 15, 2009 3:00 pm PT I like that the bushes move in the breeze, but am guessing we still won't see real weather in the base game....

    duh... of course not!

    but youll see it in one of fifty different patch-sized expansion packs! =D

  • Carpe_Noctum

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 9:50 pm PT

    I really dig the ad on the right side of the editor, love ads; maybe you can put ad space in your movies, that would be sweet! Wierd how you post the Sims 3 movie on the Sims 2 site though.

  • TalonComics

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 9:48 pm PT

    Wow, that looks awful. Seriously, if this is the best the franchise has gotten it's time to shoot this dead horse.

  • Ironserpent

    this is crazy. period.

    Epic Fail... I don't think it'll fail but this was an unessecary feature considering all computers have some kind of default video editing.

  • Andre23

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 6:41 pm PT

    I think this game will fail as spore did. The sims formula is old and boring.

  • rckljohnson

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 6:17 pm PT

    Will we still be...*

  • rckljohnson

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 6:16 pm PT

    Will be still be able to take the video files and use them elsewhere; this is just an optional tool, right?

    I also noticed the music previewed was a song from Sim City 4

    i never knew it was possible to make a movie editor worse than windows movie maker

  • Zolorunnin

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 5:43 pm PT

    probbably more user friendly

  • sonynhater

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 5:18 pm PT

    okay, so this movie thing is supposed to be better than just recording game footage and editing it on my sony vegas editor? i dont know...

  • Jmaster3265

    @White Rabbit

    Yes, it has been said many times and confirmed that weather is NOT in the base game. However, trees, plants and hair will all move according from a breeze etc. This is not related to weather, it is just a new feature. (part of the game engine, physics, etc)
