SIMS 5 - for Real ???

Lol who knows, but it's fun to speculate about it. :)

Whether it’s for real or not, for a lot of simmers it seems to be the only hope.

I hope not.

I'm not sure anyone knows at the minute. I'd say it's probably a pretty good bet though. They could have stopped after 1 but didn't so I don't see them stopping now?

The question is not "if", it's "when". The game is definitely being developed, people just don't know when it will come out.

Are there any sites to view what is in the works do far?

Sims 5 is not confirmed. There is no news.

If Paradox or even Paralives comes out with a better Sim than EA/Maxis can offer, I suspect that EA/Maxis will release a completely online version of The Sims, hoping to provide a "new and exciting" experience. If the online version doesn't fly, they'll throw their hands up in defeat and declare that the audience is no longer interested in a Sims game.

If SimCity is anything to reflect on, I would warn people well away from The Sims online.

Also, I think they'll be one more "phase" before defeat - The Sims 1 or 2 (or both) remastered.

I would not mind if they remastered TS3 and fixed all the problems they ignored.

I just get the feeling that EA doesn't like the single player mode because they can't implement microtransaction as much as if it was an online game. An online game would be nothing more than a glorified mobile game only it would be on your PC, Laptop, or Console. You will basically lose the sandbox and if an "always online" thing should happen .... then for sure I walk away.

I will bet that if Paralives comes out around the same time and EA pushes forward with online multiplayer for TS5 that a LOT of people will raise all kinds of heck and for sure move on to Paralives. Paralives doesn't do it for me graphically, especially the parafolk, but if we are able to tweak everything and make them not so 2D looking then it might be ok. I do like everything they've shown so far as for build mode and so I would rather spend my money on a real "life simulation" game rather than a forced always online MMO/RPG type game.
