Thank yo9u Maxis/EA for listening and making this offline!!!!! Brilliant news!!! I was so scared about the announcement but now am thrilled!
What? That’s it? A single measly screenshot that shows nothing more than some very badly rendered sims? No information on HOW they are going to improve the game? That’s pathetic. So much for all the hype. If the sims actually look like they do in the teaser image then I’m avoiding this game like the plague – it’s practically taken a step back in terms of graphics.
Wait, so if the graphics were more cartoony (they can’t just be realistic, that’d ruin the affect of The Sims), yet the gameplay was better – you’d avoid it?
Give them time to say what they’ll be doing with TS4, E3 is only a month away.
I’ll withhold my judgement for a little longer but my that so called ‘press release’ was little more than ‘Hey, yes, we’re making it” rather than providing any real information.
As for graphics however, I do actually expect them to get better unfortunately, and I’ve never outright associated the Sims with cartoony. If they’re basically repackaging the Sims 3 and having ‘gameplay’ improvements then of course I’m avoiding it. Why dob out another £30 when you’ve basically got the same game just with new gameplay that could have been added via a cheaper expansion pack, or update (except, that wouldn’t be EA’s style)
