The Sims 5? Maxis Recruiting for “Exciting New Game in the Sims Franchise”

Wait, how “realistic”-looking are we talking about here?

I REALLY do not want ultra-realistic uncanny valley faces in my games. (Sims 3 and Medieval are not ultra-realistic to me. They still seem somewhat stylized.)

For ultra-realistic )like triple AAA Nathan Drake from Uncharted games kind of realistic), the devs would need to do some serious motion capture to make it look natural and not creepy. This may require a big budget or limitations. The Sims are not scripted cinematic games like those games with the realistic graphics (like Uncharted and Tomb Raider, etc).

I have not seen an ultra-realistic simulation game that had good looking characters (that aren’t creepy and are motion-captured well) that is customizable and has a big sandbox like the Sims.
