While I also would like to know more about the game, I think maybe they are not talking about a lot of things, because they want them to be surprises to the player. What I’m interested in is that it’s still Alpha version. I hope it’s not going to be like SimCity. I love that game too, but when it launched last March it had more bugs than actually working stuff. After it they try to make it better and made patches every month addressing a lot of issues. This February they made the game offline compatible and since that time I got no more patches. I don’t know it’s abandoned or something. I hope Sims will not be secretly a beta version when it’s released.

Sigh. EA’s marketing team need a good slap. I heard they’re still in alpha stage. Like wtf. I swear if this game gets delayed again…
I don’t want the developers to do crunch-time. 🙁

Can I just ask what they’re waiting for? There is less then three months to the game, We should know more, what are they holding out for? I don’t want to believe this, and I don’t for now, but is there that little new things coming with Sims 4 that they have to stretch it out for as long as possible? Thats probably not the case, because we haven’t even seen all the stuff they’ve confirmed! again, I must ask, WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?

I am so sick of hearing about the emotions. What else is there? And we have seen the CAS and build videos. Is there zero else about this game that EA wants to show off?

*SO MUCH OF THIS* exact same loaded crap could’ve been “claimed to be happening” in TS3 before its release back in 2009.

They’ve simply been doing terrible job at generating legitimate hype for this game throughout most of TS4’s development cycle. To be specific, Ryan has *always* been terrible at hyping anything, always making everything sound “TOTALLY AWESOME” without mentioning anything of any substance. Please keep this guy away from interviews.

Yea it didn’t say that at all it said some unintelligible gibberish haha

“Too bad that charging times are necessary. For example, if you enter larger areas like a museum. This could be especially sensitive types of players make strolling through the town like lost in thought. Takes too long to load, they think it is very good, if you take a visit to the museum waiting time in buying or just keep walking.”

It sounds like a simmer who has been waiting to long to hear more info on the sims game and has gone off the deep end 😛

I say we all go the local hardware store to get rope, duct tape, and other supplies used to hold a kidnapping of the gurus until we get information.

And Yes this is a big deal! Like a delayed baby! You wanna know through sex and if the baby is alright but the doctor says he can’t comment on those features right now when the baby is almost due.

Exactly. You see it with the neighborhood and districts. I wasn’t able to ready the article but I’m glad to see you were and that it doesn’t mention loading screens
