I found a mention of Sims 5
I was looking up some information about the upcoming Xbox X series and was curious about a list of games that will be for it, and they mentioned Sims 5. Here is the link to the article from IGN. htt...
Forum Discussion
I am often criticizing CEOs for "Not having a single clue about their company, their customers, or their products. Seems Andrew Wilson is Exhibit A in that discussion. "Social interaction and competition", "cloud-enabled world", and "subscription-based". What does he think the Sims franchise is--some kind of freemium mobile game? I think he might have it mixed up with Freeplay! That being said, if all these rumors turn out to be true, I feel the competition in development may be very successful; as they seem to know what went wrong (and has always been missing) in The Sims franchise, and cater to that.
Subscription-based services. No way, Jose. I like to pay for a game and have it permanently, not having to pay every month. I don't need online-always connectivity. Didn't they learn when Sim City 2013 flopped? I don't want to invest any money in a game that may become useless in five years. Not counting the forums here, I don't really care at all for "social interaction" in my game. The only "people" my Sim interacts with are other Sims. While quite a few of my Sims are based on models from online retailers, people from stock photos, characters from TV, books, and film (nearly all Gallery Sims). I don't know any of the people my Sims are based on personally, and for the most part, don't even know who they are.
