EA is so thoughtful of their consumers <3

>It's easier to shit out low effort DLCs than to make a new game.

>>717310375
>Yes I want to pay $80 for prettier graphics

>>717310231 (OP)
Bold of them considering it used to be their stratergy to just clean the slate and force a new game
they're doing everything they can to not have to make another one and it's almost certainly because they don't have the devs to do it anymore, really horrible long term planning from the managment side but that studio is reduced to shit skeleton crew levels just to churn out content, this isn't a consumer move, its because they've absolutely fucked up that studio
the day they finally have to make a new one they're fucked

Roblox

kek

why waste money to make a new live service when you can just keep milking the live service you currently have

>>717310231 (OP)
I'd be fine with this if only Sims 4 is an open world game.

I'm so glad they're never releasing fifa or madden ever again for the same reason
oh wait

>>717311247
Correct.

>>717310474
> $80.
Oh c'mon now, its going to be:
> $120 for a "Deluxe Edition" (SE + Game Pass).
> $100 for a "Special Edition."
> $80 for the base game.
> $60 for new Expansion Packs. (Gameplay/CAS stuff with minimal build mode content.)
> $45 for a new Stuff Pack for the build mode content, two of them per each Expansion Pack.
> Theme Outfit Packs and other sets for $15 in store.
Do you really want Sims 5?

Sims 1 is still the only good one. Series just lost the vibe after it.

>>717311672
> Toilet training simulator.
Are you sure you want to say that again?

>shits out Madden '27

>>717311861
Sims 2 is a literal toilet training simulator.
Sims 1 wasn't perfect, but it actually understood the entire point of the Sims - which was a satire on soap operas, commercials, and suburbia. After it made a billion dollars, the sequels just became some combination of "wacky dollhouse game".

>>717312098
Wrong, Sims 1 was the toilet sim game everyone made fun of the most time you spent was in the fucking toilet. Sims 2 actually fixed this.

>>717310231 (OP)
Life by you got cancelles.
The WEG DAZ ass thing is abandoned and the devs are going to make a Second Life mmo clone
Paralives is just Sims 4-2
Inzoi is gook kikery trash
This genre is dead.

>>717311328
Sims 4 has been out for over 10 years anon...

Makes a lot of sense. That korean version of sims proved that people who play these games have potato-tier rigs and can only handle Sims. What would they even gain by releasing a new sims? The graphics upgrade would be absolutely minimal, unless they built an entire new engine.

>>717312508
Paralives is the only hope, at least it has decent architecture mode going for it.

>>717312693
All I want is a world back.
Doesn't have to be Sims 3. It can be like Sims 2. Anything but the fucking atrocious mobile game map tier shit in Sims 4

>>717312693
Only because Sims 4 is ultra-light in demands compared to Sims 3 which is actually hugely resource-heavy (due poor EA optimization) and Sims 4 was targeted to wards gamers rather than tweens, girls and LGBTQ who don't play other games.

>>717312821
and Sims 3* was targeted, typo'd.

>>717312821
>Only because Sims 4 is ultra-light in demands compared to Sims 3
That's exactly my point, I'm not sure what you're getting at. It's a good call from a business standpoint to target those people because of the type of rig they have.

Man, the Sims 4 engine is so goddamn shit when you realize its limitations.
Hope Paralives is good.

>>717312906
It will be so bad its good once they keep the shitter running hopefully coming at the end of this year lol.

>>717311613
I'd pay $50 for a graphic overhaul and bug fixed Sims 3 + most of it's dlc included. I wouldn't expect EA to not cheap out and give all the dlc though. Give it the Oblivion treatment.

>>717310231 (OP)
What happened to Project Rene?

>>717313441
If I had to guess, they were working on Sims 5, higher ups at EA saw Fortnite and went "wait why are we putting millions into a new game with no installbase when we can just mills The Sims 4!?" and cancelled Rene

>>717313741
Sounds about right

>>717310231 (OP)
Exactly what the payday devs should have done.

>>717310231 (OP)
i mean if you have a fanbase of convictionless women that will hate on every decision you make but still buy it anyway I don't see why they wouldn't keep milking

>>717310231 (OP)
What do they mean "lose"

>>717313817
I cannot think of a more lovecraftian nightmare scenario equivalent of creative work than being a Payday or Sims dev. Even if it is steady work that pays well you're still modelling chairs and hats for eternity.

>>717314851
It means once Sims 5 is out they'd kill the Sims 4 servers in a heartbeat
Send out an update that deletes all data too

>>717310231 (OP)
So they're making DLC for the worst most isolated version of their game?
Not for 2 or 3 that are actually worth playing?

Seriously people wanted Sims 4 and Sims 5 to be Sims 3 but better without the technical issues. Everyone knows that. Even the idiots saying this shit about DLC and Sims 4 know this.

But they will never ever provide it.

>>717315079
All of your sims start committing suicide like some apocalyptic hellscape

>>717315138
>Not for 2 or 3 that are actually worth playing
I doubt anybody at Maxis even knows how to make anything new for those 2 games. Sims 2 is as stable as a house of toothpicks where installing expansion packs in the wrong order would fuck the game up before Ultimate Collection and the latest re-release streamlined it. Less said about Sims 3 the better.

>>717315215
>Please assume the victory position

>>717312693
Inzoi is also UE5 gook-optimized dogshit with no content so it makes sense that EA are scared to make a sequel right now. I'm surprised they didn't just make Sims 5 console ports anyway and just add mouse/keyboard controls as an option. That way gamergirls with potato rigs can have another option to play and the pc tranny SDEs with 5090's can enjoy it as well.

>>717315546
Yes SIR!

>>717310231 (OP)
>lose
what do they mean by "losing", would they simply shut it down and nobody would be able to play TS4 anymore?

so just don't make sims 5

just upgrade the models in S4 and do an engine upgrade or something

surely the folks at EA are capable, right? right?! haha...

>>717310231 (OP)
I haven't heard about that korean sims like game in a while. Is it good?

>>717317749
No. There are no porn mods, the best you can do is the AI poser to simulate your Zoi sucking dick. There is nothing to do besides regular Sims stuff to make it stand out besides turning your city into Florida by giving it an alligator infestation, or Detroit by making everything look like shit. I guess you can turn every furniture into a dildo using the AI powered image and video scanner.
The NVIDIA shilled AI powered Zoi feature is garbage and barely works.

>>717317749
It turned out to just be flavor of the month nonsense

I once ruined Don Lothario, and caused him to break up with his two lovers, by having him get seduced by an english homosexual junkie called British Gayster (yes, that was his name). They both moved into a shitty trailer together and spent the rest of their days shooting up drugs until Don got zapped to death.
Moral of the story: op is a faggot

>>717323535
ERM yes, jelly?

>>717311672
The Sims 2 and 3 were the best Sims games. Sims 1 is still good but not nearly as good as Sims 2 and 3

Reminder Sims 4 was originally an always online MMO live service game, but EA had to scale it back which is the spaghetti code issue it has and why so much shit was missing from launch

>>717310231 (OP)
Sims 1, 2 and 3 are all better games than 4. 4-babbies can go back and feel like they're moving on to 5 that way

PAIN

>it wouldnt be fair to make a sims game that isnt dogshit that cant even simulate a neighborhood like the previous games

>>717325856
sir the previous game also had memory leaks

KEK

>>717326010
Bro, come on....just let it go. Inzoi came out like a wet fart. I STILL can't believe that the 12 year olds on twitter and this board still fall for gook garbage. I can't wait for DokeV to release (LMAO) and surprise nobody but the biggest retards when it turns out to be straight up early access garbage as well.

>>717326205
Wym "came out". Isn't it still early access?

>>717326010
Crazy how fast this died. It was hyped (shilled) up and beyond days before launch, it came out, not a god damn peep like 3 days later
Just terrible marketing on this site kek

>>717323535
Why are zoomers so obsessed with men eating food in an industrial estate?
Gay as fuck.

>>717326640
Runs like shit and doesn't run on Apple Air devices so Sims audience can't play it.

it spawned some funny stuff at least
>webm of shitskin being run over and the death certificate immediately filling the screen

>>717326640

Come on, every female Sims content creator was aware of this fucking thing. The hype for it was real. Uncalled for maybe, but it was real.

Between 3 and 4 which is better for lewd mods and stuff? I used to lay the shit out of 2 back in the day.

>>717325717
get it for free on steam then use sims4updater to pirate all the dlc

>>717310231 (OP)
It's because they have no one capable of making a new game. The talent for that stuff is long gone

Are you brown or just inbred? The game isn't out yet. It's in early access? Is this your first early access title? Did you also seethe 3 years before BG3 released, when it was in early access too?

Why is /v/ so mentally raped and demented when it comes to this innocent little game?

>>717326304
>>717329958
it's available to buy so it's out you coping dribbling retard, and it's drenched in issues, krafton is in a lawsuit, they're shady as fuck and I wouldn't be suprised if inzoi never leaves early access, it's hype is dead because people realised it's a shallow, souless, sanitised photostudio and not a game.

>>717312098
The point of sims was to be a life simulator... sims 2 actually fulfilled that concept while Sims 1 was mostly experimenting. There's little purpose in sims 1 after a while, Sims 2 has actual goals and feeling of living through generations.

>>717333391
I went to that site once by accidentally clicking on it, it is stuck in ca. The early 2010s in design.

>>717333624
>it's available to buy
Yeah - in early access.
You're really are low IQ and raped.

>krafton is in a lawsuit
Subnautica dev seethe is completely irrelevant. Holy shit you're so desperate for any straw.

I wouldn't be surprised if you die of AIDS soon desu.

Did you also talk about "hype" in BG3 threads or did your father rape your aunt-mother?

>>717326010
>>717329958
Sorry gook tranny, but your "sims killer" is a failure. Sterile, humorless, borderline AI generated copycat is not what people were asking for.

>You're really are low IQ and raped.

>>717333924
Get your shit canned and laid off lol

>>717333987
That's what is going to happen with your "sims killer".

>>717333757
Sims 1 has has a charm to it, it's the one game where the basics are the gameplay, it's quite challenging keeping your sims needs fulfilled while doing a job and engaging in a social life, it makes the early game a battle for basic survival until you get better furniture because its the one game where furni stats have the most noticable impact, until you eventually are able to spend more time socialising than working and fullfilling needs, it's interesting how the gameplay actually evolves over a typical run, work becomes less important and you can consider yourself succeful once you have a lavish home, good money reserves, a family and a good social life, that's where the sims 1 kind of falls off, there's not much to do after that, but getting there is a fun challenge, sometimes I enjoy the simplicity of sims 1 especially with the aesthetics and charm, it is a time capsule of an era we'll never get to experience again, however the sims 2 is definitely my favourite, it retains SOME challenge and the basics are still somewhat important, but you get a lot more freedom and with it, a lot more to do, especially late game since they incorporated family tree and dynasty building.

Both games are fantastic, basically.

>>717333859
>r-r-raped!!! you're raped!!
Holy shit, pathetic shill, enjoy your souless scam you fucking idiot.

>>717310474
The issue with Sims 4 is that it's a huge pile of idiosyncrasies, major bugs, and bad DLCs. There is demand for a new game with fresh mechanics. Graphics is secondary.

>>717311247
I, for one, stopped buying Sims 4, DLCs, but I would buy a new game if it looked good (InZoi need not apply).

>>717334042
No it won't.

That shit already happened to you.
Maxis is dead and Sims 5 got cancelled. EA is on the ropes, shutting down games left and right while trying to recoup their losses. Butchering Bioware, butchering Ghost, gambling all of it on Free to Play Battlefield after the last one bombed and took half of Dice with it etc. It's over.

>>717334147
You're shilling for Electronic Arts lol. You ARE The Raped. And brown.

I will continue sticking with TS3.

>>717334405
Same. It's the one that got closest to feeling like a living breathing world

>>717318564
It's still early access it could pick back up in a couple years. I think they're limiting themselves by adhering to cultural korean norms with no sex outside of marriage

>>717334332
Shilling how? I've always downloaded sims 1, 2 and 3 because fuck EA. Gooks are not sending their strongest or smartest. Your target audience stopped caring about your turd the moment they realized how shallow, empty and souless it is and that the devs promise years of content drip to catch up to a decades old series. Just lol.

>>717334405
I wish it didn't crash as often with all expansions enabled

>>717335378
Well yeah, TS4 is a F2P game that is carried by decades of DLC and the accumulated modding community. That's exactly the point. In terms of raw content and viable template, Inzoi's early access is already a better start than TS4's full release. And they got all the funding they need and a team behind it. Unlike Sims which is cancelled and dead in the water.

Inzoi has the future while your "future" got announced here >>717310231 (OP) lol

It would have been the best one if not for the ass engine.

>>717311247
in 10 years there will only be 5 games.
they will have so much content you just pick one and play it forever
no need for indie games or new games
there will be competition after the original choice of the 5 is made

Don't care, gimme TS3 2.0

>>717335837
It's shittier than sims 2. Sims 1, 2 and 3 had better launches than your gook crap.

We already have Sims 5 when you add all the DLCs to the base Sims 4

Eh? Why would them making a new Sims mean people would LOSE what they already paid for?

>>717337795
Because why the fuck would anyone play an outdated game, grandpa? Come on to the hot new thing

>>717338945
It's supposed to be available on PC too

>>717337670
Well game development and engines aren't so simple in modern times. Hence the dev of Sims 1, 2 and 3 being shitcanned and buried in a ditch.
For a modern game, Inzoi has been relatively quick to shape up.

>>717339354
It's being ported to PC and consoles but the primary platform is mobile. And they have explicitly said it's not Sims 5 and they plan to keep going with Sims 4 indefinitely.

>>717310231 (OP)
I'm disappointed in you guys for actually wanting a new Sims game.
For years the joke was that EA would release a barebones Sims game, patch it up with a billion paid expansion packs, then start all over with a new barebones Sims game so you'd have to re-buy all your paid expansions.

>>717339573
Sims 4 is in such a bad state now even the little girlies that never play anything but Sims 4 are begging EA to release Sims 5 because they'd rather start again from scratch than deal with that broken shit anymore.

>>717339737
I remember when the excuse for not needing an open world, or a real neighborhood, or anything being simulated outside your little lot, was that the game will work perfectly with no issues

>>717339865
The engine is not the problem. The problem is EA has gotten incredibly cheap and lazy with Sims 4 because those fucking retards keep buying the expansions even though they're complete crap and have a fraction of the content even early Sims 4 expansions used to have and they were already considered lacking. It's become quite clear they don't even playtest because so much shit just doesn't work at all out of the box. And it's a running joke now that every time EA release a patch people assume more of the game will be broken rather than less. Also, on an unrelated note, they appear to have gotten rid of all the males working on the game.

>>717339865
Game's performance is fine. Nu-devs just shit all over it with buggy DLC features while not creating any depth. Seeing "become woohoo partnets" in every dialog box, or having to clean up the world from automatically generated niggers gets tiresome faster and faster.
