Paralives can try all it wants, but the game looks horrible aesthetically.
I think paralives look okay.Its still early in production.So we don't know the final design is going to like yet.Even if the characters dont look high tier.So what ? We play a game to play a game to play. Not to look at a picture.If paralives have good features like the whole altering bed thing.Than I can give it a look
Personally, I want decent graphics. I was very happy to leave S3 and the pudding faces behind. (And that was a big deal at the time - Pescado named his entire S3 section 'The Pudding Factory'.) I want game play, too, but games like Stardew Valley have no appeal to me as life simulators because they don't look like real life.
That said, I don't think Paralives looks horrible - it has improved from the earliest screenshots - but I'm not jumping on that bandwagon until it shows the AI. Being able to manipulate the size of objects, while useful, isn't game play. AI is game play.
But do they act like real life? Sims has been compared to cartoon rather than uncanny valley so I don't see that as true either. Sims 3 was more lifelike in many ways as far as graphics more than any of the other games and the graphics still are at par with many games made today. Sims used to be about simulation, but all I'm hearing is how Sims has become a role playing game to pretend there are things that aren't actually there. If I wanted that I would still be playing Barbies. Honestly can do the same dress up my Barbie with the mobile Kim Kardasian games too and pretend things that aren't there too. It is sad the simulation isn't important to the Sims anymore, thus why I think the name Sims 4 isn't appropriate since it isn't really a simulation anymore. Might as well call it RPG Larping to market the game better, then at least Simmers would be less disappointed and misled by the title of the game and wouldn't have a sequel number attached, problem solved.
Even though this game has character that aren't human, the real time facial recognition software it uses makes it one of the most life like games on the market. Some of the Gurus did play this game and honestly I can see why.

This is just what I don't want my Sims to look like. It feels creepy to me but as I won't be buying Sims 5 it won't matter to me what they look like in the future. Just don't mess about with what we have now. I have a phobia about controlling people and my Sims are about as far as I want to go.
