EA is making Unreal Engine their new Game Development Standard

All but confirmed that the future of the Sims Franchise will be built in Unreal Engine 5. More and why that matters in the linked article.

Are you familiar with Unreal Engine 5?
Have you played any games made in Unreal?
What do you think this could mean for the future of the Sims Franchise?

Welcome to Metaverse ?

At a certain level Mass Effect 5 content could be imported into The Sims 5 ?

I would be very surprised if the next-gen Sims game has some sort of cryptocurrency /NFT element

Hope this will help with animations and whatever resources, and that the devs will be able to program better and have better optimization, etc. :smile:

The thought of that makes me cringe.

*plays new sims game*
I try to get my sim to marry another sim, I get a message saying "in order to get married; you must pay $100 IRL money to unlock wedding event".

Me: FLUFF THAT CARP!!!!!!!!
AAAAH... AAAAH... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*deletes game and jumps out of window yelling in madness* XD

If it got NFT's, the sims would die and I mean DIE!!!

Better to stay on room side of window and vent frustrations by getting onto forums and warning everyone using such forms of upset verbiage as may suit the purpose.

They can literally make Unreal Engine do whatever they want, so the engine won't limit them like the Sims 4 and previous engines have. Granted, will they, who knows - but they will no longer be able to say anything about engine limitations again.
