  • We have already have Project Rene gameplay and screenshots leaked- now sims project stories, the mobile game has leaked. Let's just say the graphics, gameplay and monetization look like you'd expect. I'll cover core gameplay like quests, building, character customization and the town. This all adds to the sims franchise keeping sims 4 going while adding all these other games.
    Thanks to Sims Community once again for excellent reporting; footage credit as well.

      Thank you, Erin for telling us about this future bomb that EA is planning to launch on us. It really is disheartening. It's low quality concept really designed for teens and preteen audience. That's not the demographics that you should be focused on if you want to woo an active fan base that gave EA it's billion dollar income.

We have higher expectations because we know these games used to be well made and we can see how they cut corners and try to milk every penny from us now. Younger players are all ok with pay to play and loot boxes. They don’t mind shallow gameplay. There are great games out there, but they are not targeted at tweens who can get their parents to shell out money for virtual furniture.

Nobody wants to play a cheap mobile game, but everyone would love to play these features in a regular sims title for years now.

    When the people asked if they have plans to bring it to PC, the dude presenting said no. The room started boo-ing, of course. The dude then said "Do you guys not have phones?!"
    This is now a meme marking the disconnect between devs and their audience and the height of disrespect they have for the people / clients that made it possible for the company to reach this far.

    I think folks need to accept that for a long time EA has pushed there's no point in chasing an aging audience that's going to have different opinions on gameplay or be critical of your product when you can simply chase 8 year olds who are much less picky and can be lured in with microtransactions. They've been stripping down game-play and focusing on a new generation of gamers for a while now. For the past 4 years it's been clear that anyone looking for in depth storytelling shouldn't turn to EA.

    My reaction: ANOTHER mobile game? Sims Freeplay, Sims Mobile, Project Rene all are mobile games or have a mobile component. Why do we need this? Why does the mobile game demographic need this? I'm genuinely curious if anybody who reads this plays Sims's mobile games (I don't, so I'm really interested in someone's perspective who isn't me) has ideas or a wishlist of what they want from a new Sims mobile game option.
    I think I would also be more on board with this is Project Rene didn't have a mobile component that they seem to be fixated on at the moment. If Project Rene was exclusively for Windows/Mac and various consoles, then I could understand adding a new/upgraded mobile game, perhaps to stop development/updates on one of the older mobile games.
    I don't like the micro-transactions in most mobile games, so I tend to not play most mobile games. I feel micro-transactions are predatory in nature.

    I'm sorry Erin, I love your videos and you're my go-to channel for Sims news that are unbiased and neutral but I have to ask, why did you put "exciting" on the title of this video? Because this leak is probably everything except exciting...
    Another cash grab from EA that doesn't even look interesting enough to kids who have thousands of other options to play that look way more appealing... At this point I'm just so done with EA and with the way they are burying this franchise.
    I still appreciate you covering this and everything else tho ❤

    I saw another video about the game and what I found interesting is that Ms. Nicole Vogue appears in Town Stories although the game (at least from LochsPlay) oddly enough omits the period after "Ms" which is odd as even the original MySims got it right (she's referred to as *Ms. Nicole* in that game). I do remember seeing The Sims FreePlay also using British spellings and that makes sense in that game as Firemonkeys is an Australian developer.

    My guess is that, with MySims current popularity as a nostalgic childhood game (and recent announcement of a rerelease on modern hardware), this is their attempt to create that again or improve it - either for new, child fans or the original, now grown fans of MySims. Because, apart from the art style, which is very in line with their current mobile Sims games, the actual premise, the selling point, is literally just MySims. Down to the use of "essences", gathered from the world or by completing quests, as crafting materials to create your own items and furnishings, which you'll use to complete more on-rails quests or decorate your played sim's home, which you can also craft to look however you want.

    Why do they limit themself by creating a Mobil game for children. I thought they would get more money and less headache if they made it for adults. If they remasterd Sims 2 and maybe even sims. most the players would be nostalgia players. the good thing with them is that they got their own money. so no angry parents that woulnder how it´s posilbe to spend a grand or more on the game. not forgeting. Govrements arn´t going to care. as their is no Parents that bothers them over it.

    Graphics is why I don't like mobile games.
    It's not strange to me, it's the trend among teens. Their target audience. They definitely could target all generations ( unfortunately there'd still be arguing) but it seems they don't want to. Eden if us older players said "but think of how much more money you'd be making" which I know realistically no one would say.
    To my knowledge, mobile is so limited vs PC and console so whether it's this game, or Rene, I'm concerned if the goal is to continue as they have been doing with 4, how PC and console get the same.

    The only interest I have in a Sims mobile title is if a proper life sim (a la PC/Mac) existed, which is still missing on phones and tablets, and even better if it were cross platform like Stardew Valley. But I'm not holding my breath. That kind of life sim lacks the infamous mobile-style monetization, even if it were a paid app.

    I get it, they need younger players, but it doesn't feel like they care too much for those of us that helped build the Sims franchise into what it is (was). They're doing too much. IMO, the focus should be on creating a quality product that people will love. They need us OG simmers to keep playing because we actually purchase content. This free to play, online model, is not what a lot of the older players want. Simmers like me would be happy if they just fixed all the issues with this 10 year old game that we've been pouring money into hoping for improvements, but we never get on release.

  • @ScarletAmethyst
    @ScarletAmethyst 6 днів тому

    Seeing as this would be a game similar to FreePlay and Mobile especially for Simmers who hate both games, and the fact it won't be a sandbox mobile game like the main PC/Mac games (though granted, it _is_ a spin-off which would be the first spin-off since Mobile), I can see Town Stories would cause controversy especially as this would be another freemium game. The video from Sims Community has a 75% dislike ratio (using Return UA-cam Dislike) even though it's not from EA which shows that Simmers aren't happy about the new game.
    About the children thing, it can be understandable that kids do actually play The Sims despite the ESRB and PEGI ratings being Teen and 12 respectively although games prior to The Urbz: Sims in the City for the latter did use PEGI 7 before using PEGI 12 as the standard.
    Interestingly, the game mentions SimValley which is the setting of The Sims Bustin' Out on GBA although it's not mentioned if the "SimValley" in Town Stories is the same location featured in the GBA game.

Of course the laptop version is better but its good for people that can't afford a laptop. Theres also a high probability that the laptop version of project rene might be more elevated. Its not a bad thing for people that actually like things like these.

      thanks for sharing your perspective. I'd like to clarify mine:
      I don't so much have an issue with there being a mobile game, so much as I don't like:
      1- how it appears to be very marketed towards kids
      2- how they have also integrated mobile concepts into rene
      for rene, I was hoping the mobile concept would be limited: like you can build on the go. In short, I don't want a pc game to be limited or monetized like a mobile game, and don't quite see the need for many mobile games.
      of course, it's perfectly fine we differ on this- just wanted to clarify my personal concerns
