Was the major deterrent for you with SimCity that it was always online? If it was, that won’t be a problem for much longer. The next patch will include an offline single-player mode.

TS4 is looking good! I can understand why people hoping for a little more “realism” may be disappointed, but personally I think the cartoony art style they’ve chosen is great.

It’s not that the The Sims 4 has bad graphics, it is that they are a very different style than what we are used to.

Previous The Sims games tried to look as realistic as possible (allowing for their limited graphics engine), where as The Sims 4 has taken an artistic side step in to a more hand drawn/animated look.

Unfortunately some, my wife and I included, don’t like the look at all and so won’t be buying the new game. For us, The Sims 4 should have had graphics like those possible with the latest FPS game engines.

It’s been a bad year or so for us. First Sim City was/is a complete disaster and a ‘no buy’ and now The Sims 4 is out. So no new games for us in 2014. 🙁

With our interest in The Sims 3 dropping to an all time low due to the prohibitive expensive Store sets having items that should have been in the game by default it is looking like a pretty much game free year or two ahead at least!

i just got sims 2 ( i came late into the sims series medieval was my first sims game then started on sims 3) and I hope sims 4 is similar but an updated version of 2. I only have the base game but it is so much more entertaining then sims 3. I own all expansions for 3 and several things from the store but it is not as engaging or funny for that matter. I started playing 2 last night and took me forever to get my sim married and she went crazy twice while I was working on it. She went crazy again today taking care of a toddler hehe. but yeah sims 4 looks so much better to me. Even the clothes well some aren’t that bad. I love the red sweater for the guys.

I’m in love with the 2nd pic (the exterior of the house and lighting) but I think The Sims 3 graphics are nice too imo. I guess Sims 4 will win in terms of gameplay. The Sims 3 just gets too repetitive and dull.

Oh and about the claim about working. I am going to study game development and architecture so I know quite a lot about it. Not everything. But I do know the progress and some people here are having a quite weird view of game development to be completly honest.

Nah but seriously. People who claim that the Sims 3 Sims look superior need to look better.. Just getting tired of the graphics whining drama, reminds me of the whole Wind Waker drama. i just have a lot respect for game developers. They are just doing their jobs but they get a back slash whenever they do something. It looks like Maxis can’t prove the difference anymore but I give them my doubt.

Nice pictures comparing the games over the years. But like usual I’m going to wait for the game to be released and see other players screen shots and read other reviews before deciding whether to add Sims 4 to the collection.
