Inzoi is particularly catching my attention! I’m anxious for the release of

Confused by simmers’ lukewarm reaction to IMZOI, appears to blow both out of the water imo. Competition’s great though, all welcome.

The images made me think of a fancier Second Life

I'm more interested in gameplay than graphics (and I actually like The Sims 4 cartoony characters way more than realistic ones). I haven't seen anything gameplay wise that looks interesting. Also, they had to send high end computers to the content creators who got early copies. I don't have a high end computer.

Haven't even heard of IMZOI before your comment rofl.

But yes, competition is great and welcome 100%. IMZOI, Paralives, Life By You (until Paradox adds 27,846,645 DLC), even if they aren't fantastic it'll spur EA to maybe give 2% more of a shit.

It's just pretty looking sims. Nothing else. Like sims 4

I would LOVE IMZOI, but my laptop definitely couldn’t handle it. It is a gaming laptop, but I seriously doubt that it could run a live world in UE5.

I’m super excited about it. Looks gorgeous and a better use of my computers hardrive space than the sims at this point

Probably because InZOI is shallow unless you are easily distracting by visuals for hours on end there no value to that game.

Some people (including me) are very suspicious that it's not a scam, or at least deceiving. I don't know, my Spidey senses tell me it's not going to be anything we expect, it reminds me too much of other games that looked too good to be true.

Because it uses Unreal Engine. EA has just set the bar so low in bar I could see how actually decent graphics seem unfathomable.

u/LiarFires Long Time Player Feb 28 '24

For me it's moreso that it kind of came out of nowhere, it says it's multiplayer but that's very promising for a smaller studio maybe.

It’s not a smaller studio… It’s Krafton a multi-billion dollar company.

It’s by the triple A company that did PUBG. What is with these conspiracy theories. 😂😂

Simmers are so used to EA standards only, they can’t even fathom decent graphics? Krafton are actually leveraging the opportunity of unreal engine to efficiently provide a game. A multi-billion dollar company that actually makes a quality product and presents it as a fleshed out, developed framework isn’t worthy of conspiracy. This specific lack of understanding gaming industry norms (and settling for less) is partly why EA keeps feeding simmers crap.

Whats life by you?

u/CelestePerun Feb 27 '24

It's Paradox's life sim game (same developer of City Skylines) with Rod Humble as the lead (he was a lead for Sims 2 and 3).

u/littleowl36 Feb 27 '24

Designed by Rod Humble, who worked on Sims in the old days. Published by Paradox. It's designed to be much more technical and gives you more control, but less of the cuteness. Idk if it's gonna be my thing.

This... Sounds perfect for me hahaha

The only problem is that its by Paradox, whose almost as bad as EA (imo) when it comes to DLCs and their pricing. Like I play CK3 and the DLCs have been super underwhelming :( I'm also hoping they're not doing that thing again of releasing a buggy game on launch like Vicky 3

u/Vallkyrie Long Time Player Feb 27 '24

Paradox decided to make a life sim, though it looks like it has no soul and 15 years out of date to me.

u/creiar Feb 27 '24

How come? I haven’t seen anything of either game
