a new inZOI update got released and it looks AMAZING

inZOI just released a BRAND NEW snapshot of the development since I last checked it out in November. Since I was one of the lucky ones to play the game, I thought it'd be fun to check out all the new features!

INZOI ADDED *TWO* FEATURES IN THE GAME THAT I REQUESTED. I'M FANGIRLING. 🤯 Also, I stream every Saturday at 7pm EST 👉 www.twitch.tv/acottonsockk

[@birksche]

nice! i'm a big fan too😍

[@aidanros889]

wait, which features?

[@RRSIMMER]

It’s like GTA meets sims on steroids

[@pastelpancake7113]

OMG I THOUGHT THE SAME😂

[@BullyGirlUzi]

thats exactly what Ive been begging for

[@miguela6142]

And you'll need a PC on steroids.

[@artisticgamer777]

lol true!

Sims 4 will NEVER see me again. NEVER. Sims 3 will see me from time to time

KOREAN DRAMA NECESSITIES

[@moonyfruit]

I totally agree with this.

[@ruthydrawsalot1979]

omg yes

[@amberclark3440]

having your inzoi get affected by the weather would be nice. for instance, if they can shiver when it is cold, and sniffle would add more realism and I liked all the points you mentioned I as well would like to see the inzoi getting sick if they don't were the appropriate cloths for the weather.

[@petitiontoburndownmnet9862]

it would also be cool if they could get sick easier if the city is dirty or to put on a hat or sunglasses of its very hot, or maybe apply sunscreen... ik it's small details but i feel like they would make the game very entertaining

[@lyszh4229]

Seriously, I thought these details were really cool haha, why not share these ideas on the game's Discord? We need it!

[@miyavi1709]

Or if Zois were allergic to pollen in spring. But especially getting sick in the rain or snow would be nice. Getting sick in general, taking precautions against it (proper clothing, vaccinations) or then being sick at home and having to take medication.

[@Andy00H]

Honestly the thing I want the devs to focus on is... life stages! (and family gameplay) so that every stage of life feels unique and offers something unique and different (Sims 2 is a good example imo of that)

[@Marzanooox333]

I was thinking the same thing cause the last time I saw footage of life stages other than adults there wasn’t really anything there, especially for baby’s/ toddlers

[@Andy00H]

@@Marzanooox333 Exactly!! And the fact that it hasn't been a lot of talk about life stages in the game is concerning to me..

[@Andy00H]

@@Marzanooox333 take sims 2 for example back in the day when it came out one of the key features/selling point was family gameplay/generations and life stages! Key important feature for a successful life-sim game imo

I’m hoping they are working on that! I know there’s settings and they might create karma system. So I know they are trying

[@Violetbunnyfish]

I'll never forgive EA for making wood look like brown plastic in Sims 4.

[@richs347]

This seems to head towards ultra realistic VR life sims.. I do like the realistic look vs cartoonish look like the Sims, the ultra realism detail is really what I'm looking for in a life sims.

[@maryf720]

I agree. I've tried to replicate this exact look through tons of mods in the Sims but it's just not comparable to the game being originally built in that style.

[@lilacbuni]

@@maryf720exactly it's tiring as an alpha cc lover having ur mods stop working bcos of constant game breaking updates 😭 having a game already in that style is much better and I'm so tired of all the maxis players being so unnecessarily mean abt alpha cc 💀 they're even hating on the style of this game saying it shouldn't look realistic istg they're childish.

[@maryf720]

@@lilacbuni 💯 I feel like a lot of people also don’t think a realistic game would run well on their systems so they’re biased against it. Optimisation is definitely going to be a big task for the InZoi team but I’m so glad we will actually finally have an option for a realistic life sim.

[@kokheongang8853]

Inzoi is too cute. I wanna play it now

[@moocalf4268]

The way ive been SOO eager for these footages, soo much new stuff to see! Love the video as well!

[@maycherryblossoms]

HELLO MOO

[@getout9728]

I want to see the worlds look more populated, like I want to see people walking on the streets and stuff, right now they seem PRETTY empty. (This should also depend on where you live, like a city being more populated, but a town or a village being less so.)

[@MewDenise]

We need some over the top, comedic zoi NPCs in the city. I really hope they come up with some characters that have lore

[@jinx-1]

exactly, it doesn't even have to be comedy, I just want lore.

[@moonyfruit]

I'm quite hyped for this. I even signed up for their mailing list for goodness sakes, and I NEVER do stuff like that. 😂

[@ashunotaku]

I loooove the variety between realism with Inzoi and the cartoony aspect with Paralives. I will be trying out both when I get a gaming PC! :DDD

[@Lylliannah]

I really enjoyed this video! While you showed a lot of footage that I already saw, you provided a new perspective thanks to your time with the game in November. I look forward to more of your inZOI coverage. They really need to provide you with the game again so we can play vicariously through you while we wait for early access. 😁💕

[@mazzy_vc]

I’m so worried about this game having micro transactions, Korean games typically follow this model and do it supper aggressively.

[@Anon1370]

the more people talk about microttransactions the more they gooo hmmmmmmmmm maybe we should add them we wasn't gonna add them before but nowwww we will. Then if it has it just don't buy the game simple as that stay away from it and let the koreans eat the cost up.

[@moonyfruit]

I'd be fine with some additional aesthetic choices in micro-transactions (like clothes or accessories models, etc.), just not features or gameplay.

[@Anon1370]

@@moonyfruit yeh well i wanna be you with unlimited money glitch....cause prices rise.

[@kaglet4963]

Your video has such exciting in depth commentary. I mean I already watched the video trailer myself but you extended my thoughts about the game and its development quite a bit. Such a worth it watch, not even counting the new sneak peek footage you gave us! Your observations are great.

[@oOKGgodOo]

Seems like they didn’t change the fatness slider and the minimum and maximum fat range is like in TS2 😅 Hope they change it so we really can make different characters

[@maycherryblossoms]

it's not AT ALL like TS2, I think the fatness options they have are finee? I mean they could be raised a little bit more but XD

[@oOKGgodOo]

@@maycherryblossoms I mean yeaaaah not many of us are gonna create fat sims from the beginning but it would be cool if for example your zoi don’t eat well and eat much and gain EXTRA fat and you like woah guess he’ll need to work it up ahah

[@moonyfruit]

The more customization, the better, regardless if a lot of people are going to take full advantage of it or not. Options, options!

[@ashunotaku]

The ability to control your character the way InZoi does kind of reminds me of Playstation Home lol

[@focusupfrey6522]

I want to see weather have an effect but I don’t want to be shocked by lightning… .-. In the sims I was shocked two times in a row and died… when I was trying to run home.

[@TiagoHT]

Hey Acotto it would be great to have a clothing store, but the character only buys clothes from clothing stores. This makes it more realistic for him to have to buy clothes with in-game money. He also buys clothes. It would be nice if your city had a supermarket or small market where your characters could buy water, soda, beer, snacks, and snacks to satisfy their hunger. It would be nice to have the need for Hunger (Food and Drink) as well, so the simulation would be more realistic. It would be great if your car ran out of gas and you had to go to the gas station to fill it up. It would be nice to have an ATM or bank where you can keep your money in your wallet and keep the rest at the bank. In addition to realistic graphics, you need great gameplay, creativity, and realistic simulations. Please think carefully and tell the team!!!!! It would be nice to order Suri, pizza, snacks, chicken, etc. and have a delivery person deliver it to your home. I think it would be great if the money was separated for each character. Each character works and has his or her own money via online bank transfers via mobile phone. Street ATM. You have money in the bank and money in your wallet. Each character has a card. 🇧🇷

[@alenvex7481]

Acotto?

[@sanecatlady]

I'm really excited for this game! :) I love how the developers are listening to their fans and implementing their ideas into the game. I have a lot of hope for Inzoi

[@Phoenix-yz8op]

Ever since I saw your videos & your stream of you playing your inzoi save, I have been so excited for this game. I cant wait to play it one day, it looks soo good. This is my number 2 most looked forward to life simulation game besides paralives. Both of these games are gonna be all i need.

[@L1FEISSTRANGEL0VER]

i been waiting for u to react to this and i’m so happy u did now

[@MewDenise]

I need drama to happen in the city. Differents zoi and their families should have stories to tell. And If not in the base game, nightlife has always been my favorite. So you discord kittens get on that!

[@gracemaleah9429]

Love your channel!! So excited to see how/if inzoi ends up being comparable to sims, I feel like there hasn’t been anything like sims in so long and now this and paralives popping up as competitors is sooo refreshing

[@kutloanolebethe2513]

This might blow up my laptop but I can’t wait to play it🥹

[@leaf4930]

I think being able to change the surroundings and make them dirty will be helpful for some challenges, such as Apocolypse challenges.

[@accidrainn]

Looks great 👍 Thanks for the video

[@SereneSara]

I think this game is going to do really well and be a fun experience because the creators themselves are making a game they would want to play. The BG3 devs enjoyed what they were making which you can see in the finished product. To see the INZOI devs making something they enjoy makes me so happy.

[@Yahoo826]

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I hope the world won't lag.

[@larged0g838]

I’m more excited for this than any of the other upcoming life sims. But one part of the video had me a little worried. Maybe it was a mistranslation or he was talking about the performance while taking photos specifically or something, but he mentioned that they could focus on graphics over optimization because of people wanting to take nice pictures or something along those lines. Either way I just hope the game is optimized better by release because the frame rate is rough looking.

[@anna-leawhiston9614]

Is there going to be a setting in the game that you can change the language?

[@malakgamalfr]

youre my absolute favorite gamer channel on yt its insane how we agree on so many things, including sims 3 superiority.

[@canariawing]

i *really* don't like that relationship success is decided solely by setting sliders. i understand what they're doing, but i think they're misunderstanding what we mean when we say that it's way too easy to get to max relationship with other zoi. it should be based on zoi personality, not an all-encompassing arbitrary slider. what needs to be adjusted is the time it takes to build relationships, not just the success rate of certain interactions.

[@LiquidSnakeD23]

i have to say , im pretty hyped

[@warzshadow9701]

Very happy there are consequences and random things happening. Question: how many Households can you play?

[@Clara-preppy15]

[@jinx-1]

The game looks incredibly good. However, I'm worried that it will stay super laggy. I know it isn't optimized yet but all the footage they released, and even when you tested the game, the framerate constantly drops. And they all obviously use high end computers unlike most of us who play sims so I can only image how dreadful it would be on our computers. I really hope they work on that specifically.

[@Cibbic]

Like you said yourself ,they haven't optimised it yet

[@martinadoria8163]

[@fayvampire]

Don't have a Discord will not be able to get one. Discord went nuts now requires both email and phone to create an account. But mine is already used up because I lost my old account with the major Discord update. Discord will not let me make another account. If I could ask for anything it would be give us ability to play as a non-human. Or, alternatively, if inzoi is very human focused and devs only want to deal with human characters, let us dress up our character in cosplay or drag so we can role play a non-human. Again main concern is will this game run on my old gaming computer. It looks graphic heavy.
