    Imagine how much better TS4 might have been had all this competition come out sooner 🤣
    That said Grant being a part of this doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

    This is not a popular opinion. I was glad to see Grant go. I think he made to many bad design decisions that impaired the long-term playability of the game. He also reacted badly when questioned about these decisions. He was rude and made it clear on numerous occasions that he did not care about the needs and wants of the people who actually played the sims.

    I have never been a fan of Grant - ever since he became more prominent during TS3 days, and my feeling was that his arrogance rose along with his prominence. Personally, when I heard he left Project Renee some time ago, my first thought was: good; it has a better chance of being a better game now.

  • @TheDawnofVanlife

    Not a huge fan of Grant as he's more an rpg guy then a lifeSim guy. Also its way too soon to get excited about a game that may not come out for litteral years. They've barely started development. They may come up with something super cool, but I'll worry about it when it ACTUALLY exist.

    Oof. Poor team on that project…. As long as he can’t touch Paralives though. I’m looking forward to that game too much for him to ruin it

    • @IronSeagull
      @IronSeagull  4 місяці тому +4

      Agreed, Paralives is the life sim I have the most faith in. Much rather have Grant do his own thing

    i think the thing that sucks about this situation to me personally is knowing how much insider info grant has, and knowing it will never be shared with us. i mean on one hand i get it, if grant suddenly started exposing ea and maxis for their business practices and started spilling all of the tea to us simmers, it would paint a giant red flag on his back and no future studios would wanna have a guy work for them if they think hes gonna spill their secrets and insider stuff, he would be committing career suicune and i get it. but at the same time its so frustrating to know that someone like him has answers to so many questions us simmers have had forever, like why maxis does things this way or that way, or why certain decisions were made or not made. grant would have answers to so much of that, and i feel like its info that us gamers and simmers could really benefit from knowing and it would help us make better informed decisions about the companies we support. but i get it, with NDA's and other stuff, theres no way hes ever gonna spill the beans while he's still in the industry. it sucks, but i get it.

    Well I like to play on console, so I’m sure I won’t be playing any of these news simulation games, as I’m sure majority if not all will cater to computers. I know Project Rene will be on console though..

    Ive heard about this. Im interested but obviously need to see something first. I have high hopes but low expectations for any new life sim.

    ...Oh god. IIRC John Solomon mentioned The Sims in an interview a year or two back. I thought he was using it as an example of what games could do if they branched out into under-explored genres, not... A statement of intent about doing a Life Sim.

  • @markabele8794
    @markabele8794 4 місяці тому

    I don't know what to expect from this new life simulator, but I can imagine that with all of these simulator games coming out, E. A. will really need to up their game in terms of coming out with great DLC that's not riddled with too many bugs.

    The concept interests me as I recently stated elsewhere that I think a life sim done in the style of something like Life Is Strange would be incredible...wondering what they mean exactly with the talk of "telling stories." Either way, he's not the coolest dude and this won't be out for yearrrs so.. meh.

  • @kellypretorius5061
    @kellypretorius5061 4 місяці тому

    I think the reason he left is more about the fact that the internal company put a lot of barriers in place for the development team. This could build a lot of frustration when you know what your audience wants and the company is going in the opposite direction. Honestly who leaves after working on something so long because you happy doing what you love?

    We’re learning that it’s a really big lift to create a life sim though… We’d be lucky to even have one life sim released in 2025

    • @IronSeagull

      They can’t do that since it’d be copyright infringement. And I doubt The Sims would do an official crossover

  • @TheAnxiousOwl
    @TheAnxiousOwl 4 місяці тому

    people need to understand it isn't how many players "played" the game but rather how many players "still play" in over the course of months or years. Deep Metadata is more important to companies for insight but they love sugarcoating their flaws or busts publically
