with mind blowing always on DRM and crappy land restrictions, also your trash effects the environment so we want you to feel bad about torturing your sims, *sarcasm
The Sims franchise is feeling a bit like FIFA these days.
Less game more dlc.
Personally I don't see a reason to make an entire new game. Sims 3 still feels fresh and I feel it could be utilized for a few more years. (Maybe I just feel bad because I recently bought 2 expansion packs...)
The Sims is a good example of a really good and hard to fuck up franchise I'm looking forward to seeing EA's clever ways to fuck it up
I wonder if they'll lie through their teeth about features and release an unplayable game and then give up on it like last time they tried to make a game.
its too early to do that and i never bought a EP or SP for sims 3 i guess i did great, because that will be the size of max payne 3
Can't wait to run a game that is apparently too complex for my computer! They have to offload all that hunger bar simulation somewhere, after all.
The Sims 1 is one of the few games i would like to see re-released with 1080p support and of course HD textures, as well as the easier ability to create objects and to share mods. But yeah with EA in charge i don't see that happen anytime soon.

With a new instalment, they can recycle all of their ideas and get people to go and buy all the expansion packs again when they come out for the new game.
Yes a new iteration for them to bloat with bug riddled expansion so it runs like shit and takes 20 minutes to load
They should fix sims 3 first, I'm getting pretty tired of my mom always bitching at me that it always crashes or runs like crap.
If they are going to make a Sims 4. please add a online mode so we can play with other people.
I think releasing a new game every once in a while (annually) is no big deal, as long as each new game has plenty of new features. It justifies devs adding massive new features in games if they have a whole new game. It's when it comes to games like CoD that don't change a thing that annual releases are a bad idea. At least sports games are innovating.
[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;40547673]Yes a new iteration for them to bloat with bug riddled expansion so it runs like shit and takes 20 minutes to load[/QUOTE] But Sims 3 already ran like shit without the expansions. (Atleast for me it did)

[QUOTE=Aperture Adam;40547698]They already tried that ones. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/The_Sims_Online_Cover.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I know that. but i just figured why not try again?
No Linux?? Not buying…
Also i hope its on cryengine

Yep, EA sued them and they had to remove all their work..
[QUOTE=robotman5;40547683]If they are going to make a Sims 4. please add a online mode so we can play with other people.[/QUOTE] This is very likely to happen since they already put a online feature on Sims 3 Showtime.
[QUOTE]The Sims 4 celebrates the heart and soul of the Sims themselves, giving players a deeper connection with the most expressive, surprising and charming Sims ever [B]in this single-player offline experience[/B].

[QUOTE=robotman5;40547703]I know that. but i just figured why not try again?[/QUOTE] I guess. To be honest I would like to be able to play with others online and visit their towns, and was surprised that it didn't happen with TS3. (And I don't want to mention their horrible 'social connected' feature) [B]Edit[/B]: Read above. Oh well :v:

[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;40547717]Also i hope its on cryengine[/QUOTE] No wait, the [B]Frostbite [U][I]3[/I][/U][/B] engine! I'll be laughing my head off. (See that all-formatted three? It's like [B]Overhyped Sellout Lens Flare Dubstep War Zombies[/B]) If The Sims 4 will be on [B]PS4[/B], I'd rather play the sequel to [B]Lester the Unlikely[/B] ..Actually, I think my bro's girlfriend would say "No thanks". Besides, does EA actually need so many game companies and engines? Sorry to hear that they can't make up their fucking minds.
Can't wait for the Katy Perry Cake baking pack part six!
I hope they hired new programmers, because the main problem for me with Sims 3 was that it eventually became too complex and didn't know what the fuck it was. If you played on a single family for few generations, your game became such an awful mess that it would make SimCity 5 look like a decent game.
Please proper character creation this time? please more than a bunch of clothes? please a sort of ingame workshop so I don't have to go in the shadiest sites to find a decent hairstyle? also please no 40€ expansions, ever, unless they feature a whole lot of new game mechanics. if it has to just be new furniture let me get them from the workshop greedy fucks.
