[@grayhatjen5924]

Holy crap. This may just do it. What really impresses me is that they willingly showed legit gameplay that as yet is unoptimized, culturally that's a massive thing. That is legit what has me thinking this is the game that could do it. I've played The Sims since day one. It will always be unique in its own right. But it hasn't had a competitor in its entire 25+ years. This is the first time I've seen one and thought, okay, this is the one that should unsettle EA.

[@ReginaTrans_]

I think the sims will be always be The Sims nothing will beat it unless another visionary like Will Wright comes out, thats not happening any time soon, as much as we hate the sims 4 lack of things, its still THE SIMS, you know what I mean??? the new simulation games are cool but I dont see a lot of promising things, and the sims 5 is coming in like 5 years, it will be a little more realistic, more open world, possibly cars and whatnot

[@chrism869]

Yes absolutely

[@PaulPavloPablo]

I would also love it if they added smart ai npcs that you can chat with. I think that would be so much fun. The npc wouldn't have a scripted response like games in the past but they would respond to exactly what you say to it just like an ai bot would do. That feature alone would make the game 1,000 times more fun than the sims. If you don't know what I'm talking about just youtube search the words "smart ai npc"

[@fivefive9514]

Please everyone request from the developers/company FIRST PERSON VIEW mode for avatar gameplay! The Sims 4 has POV mode patched in, PUBG has 1st person view toggle, so should inZOI! this sim genre is about realism and first person is more realistic than 3rd person! its essential for the genre moving forward as a standard option and feature!

Not only massively improved graphics, but even the clothes are so much more stylish than any of the Sims games.

[@jayg.2066]

@@jamie594 This game wasn't just graphics. From what we've seen, everything is customizable from clothes to buildings. You're able to create your own clothes. You're presumably able to enter nearly every building on the map and do every job in real time. Everything is seamless. There are no loading screens. You're even able to control your own character using WASD. The build mode is the best we've ever seen in any game on the market. Ngl I'm not hyped for the game because I'm not sure if it will deliver, but this demo was very impressive. Also, If it was just graphics, it wouldn't have went viral like it did.

The game is amazing but they sent out high specs computers (around 3-5 grand) to some people for reviews. So sadly this will not run on most basic high end computers- but hopefully they'll optimize it so that it can run for everyone with a decent high end computer. That's the only downside to this game, that it might not run for everyone especially those that love playing Sims.

[@mchjsosde]

Yes I'm worried it will be yet another game that gains hype from it's hyperrealism and they end up downgrading noticeably on launch (even on high spec devices/consoles). It feels wrong because the graphics of these games are their strongest selling point to the beginning, I wish they would advertise more realistically for the average person

[@somerset6646]

I think they should make the game as realistic looking as possible since the technology is there. Make the computer manufacturers offer high end computers at lower prices to meet the graphics demands of the new games so they're affordable.

You buy the base game, then if you really want to do anything that isn't boring, you have to buy an add-on, but then if you want someplace cool to live you have to buy something else, then if you want cute clothes you have to buy something else, then you want pets so you have to buy something else... I just got sick of it. I really hope they don't do that with this game.

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

That seems to be every game these days. I miss the Playstation 1 and 2 days back in the 90's and early 2000's. No add-ons and no in-game purchases. It seems that now they release a standard free base game and then anything else you want has to be purchased. Evil bastards.

[@MuljoStpho]

I messed around with Sims and Sims 2 (always hated feeling like the game was "incomplete" for the expansions I didn't own though, and hated how expensive each expansion always was) but I didn't keep up with the Sims games at all beyond that. I don't know, the way I see it each +1 in the numbering was mostly just a chance for them to start the expansion dance all over again. Milk the customers as much as they're willing to let themselves be milked, and them trick them into another round of milking.

[@suicunesolsan]

This is a Korean game. Guarantee it'll have them. Maybe even more.

[@RabbitTeaPot]

I’m all down for the diversity but at this stage…it’s clearly made in Korea, set in Korea & thus a lot of the models used to make these sims will be Korean, be they stereotypical Korean or Korean mix. It’ll be interesting to see who/which/when other diverse models are incorporated but so far I’m impressed. It looks beautiful.

[@natalienat411]

Wouldn't mind them just starting with Korea (what they know) and then expanding to other cities and countries and deeper into other ethnicities later if it means the game can grow

[@sweetdnlg618]

my thoughts, we fought so long just for more representation for years in the sims and finally started getting it, this game as good as it looks will not beat the sims only focusing on one part of the world.

[@cheesecake4648]

well, you have enough with the world adapting to english so tolerate korean ethnic and themes, ok? if people want representation, they can do their own VG and put the "diversity" they want.

[@LUN4RA]

​@@cheesecake4648 nobody's complaining tho? customization has shown us you can put any type of race in the game (though im guessing there will be even more variety in the future), and there's also different cities, so if you go to Dowon (Seoul of the game) you will, obviously, find a korean majority with korean customs, but if you go to Bliss Bay (Los Angeles of the game) you're obviously gonna see a white majority with a more western culture... it's pretty obvious. if you don't like koreans, then simply don't go to Dowon, and that's it.

[@RabbitTeaPot]

Bro, you think I’m having a dig at it being heavily Korean based? Absolutely not…if you watch the video you’ll understand my response. People are saying “it’s not diverse enough” but as I said…at this stage with it being made in Korea they’re gonna be using Korean models for their character bases. I absolutely don’t have an issue with it, I’ve never made a character that looked like me and I’m an old school heavy gamer…I just make one I think fits the gender and environment . @@cheesecake4648

[@redmarion3tt377]

I’m going to lean more towards Life By You- it is just geared towards what I want in a game so far. Definitely will have to keep an eye on this and Paralives. I am worried if there will be a sort of micro transaction system or gacha. I’m worried about a full release in 2024? Lots of little worries but I hope this game will dash them all away.

[@Dollgyan]

Are you still leaning towards life by you with the information you have today?😂

[@Anna-B]

The Sims hold a monopoly on life sims, but their are multiple new ones in development. I don’t think the new games will be the death of the Sims. They’re already developing a new game, and I think the competition will be good for them. I think each game will offer something unique

[@ladylush7931]

It will be the end of the sims if they dont step their cookie up. Players have a finite amount of time to dedicate to playing games and if the sims is not up to scratch it will die, popularity will fall real quick. As it stands, sims 4 just isnt good enough, it will be a 10 year old, lack luster, converted mobile game trying to compete with next gen open world games.

[@PlvtinumPrincess]

The thing about it though is, EA knows they're running the risk of losing their top spot to any of these games being developed. It's happened with Sim City with City Skylines and can definitely happen to The Sims as well. Sure these games can all offer an unique experience of their own. But that's all it takes really. Any of these games could come with a much BETTER experience than what we currently have with EA. And just like that you lose your reigning spot on the totem pole.

[@zane-sharky]

The Sims is so stale at this point. They've only gotten away with releasing such broken, overpriced crap because there's no other options. Like you say, competition will be good, I hope it encourages EA to do better for their fans.

[@theghoulavenue]

@@ladylush7931It won't be the end of Sims as long as nobody with a similar cartoony style comes in. The style and silliness has been part of the charm of the Sims series, it's something I find lacking in Life By You and this one. I have no interest in hyperrealism. Paralives is closer to it, but the style is a little flat so might not be everyone's jam. I do welcome more sims-like games regardless, hopefully puts some pressure on EA to step up their game.

I'm most interested in Paralives. The realism reminds me of my sister's grungy 3rd person action games (Watch Dogs for some reason came to mind when I first saw the inZOI trailer). I'm not a fan, it just seems too dark, not in appearance, but just in feeling. I like how playful and light Paralives looks. inZOI just feels so heavy and serious. I'm not looking forward to that or Life by You for that reason.

[@reginahenry9891]

I completely agree I like the playful look much better wishing ea would somehow make a huge update to sims 4 and it be what we all wanted from the start when all these newer games come out since they clam they will run sims 5 along side sims 4

[@NotLikeUs869]

I hate EA, but I don’t think this game will “beat” the sims and here’s why: For one, the average simmer is not playing life simulations on a gaming laptop. The people who reviewed this game were sent beefed up laptops for the demo (and they actually got to keep the laptop which is really sus). From what I’ve read so far, these are laptops with i9 processors, 64gb of RAM - didn’t find out what else, but those are a couple of important specs for a PC. It’s very telling. Secondly, I’ve also heard this game may possible be ran through game servers. Which in itself is insidiously problematic because if they decide to go this route it’s probably going to have tons of mircrotransactions. Thirdly, you will not be able to build and there will be no cars. Aside from the eye popping aesthetics I’d be willing to bet that this INZOI is just as hollow as the sims 4, just prettier. I’m putting my money on LBY and Paralives.

I hope the game can be modded. Not needed right away, but I love modding the Sims, and I feel like if this game doesn't allow mods I might get bored and eventually go back to modded Sims. But that's just how I feel right now. The base game could and hopefully will be good enough to keep me comin back.

I like the look of this. Been playing The Sims on and off. But more off lately since the very first edition of the game. This InZoi looks like it could get me back into playing on a more regular basis. At least for as long as it lasts with me as I tend to play a lot of different genres of game.

I like the look of paralives more than the graphics styles of any of the other new ones. I prefer the cartoony style of Sims 4, but since I'm solely a builder in it I want that side of any game to be strong and aesthetic

You can’t build in this one, and you won’t be able to drive the cars either.

While I have a rig that can run this easily at ultra settings (very very likely), many people may not. That means that it's either going to be confined to next-gen consoles or high-end gaming PCs, especially if there isn't enough in terms of scaling of graphics. UE5 is a sweet engine to work with and has a ton of options. The canvas it offers gives designers an awesome space to go wild with their creations and mechanics. So here's hoping they optimize it well enough to run without many issues. Granted, even Sims 4, a game from 2014 can get laggy with all the content, especially if you're fond of modding. Looking forward to this. The whole family is.

Pixelia looks like a fun game. It's like stardew and the sims mixed. The sims has so much lore and its one of the easiest games to mod. It's also deep into the whole adult modding with Wicked Whims. They're characters are a huge reason simmers would stay.

[@Reyvion]

I think the trailer having low fps is a good thing because it means THAT is what the final product may look like unless you lower the graphics, it's not just a 3d render with added visiuals to make it look like a game when in reality its just an animation. Idk if its just a mobile thing but i've seen so many instances where the trailer looks hd but the game ends up looking like crap because apparently the trailer was just a concept on what the game could look like

[@horizon_upkm55]

[@mymblemeep9383]

While I do think the graphics in this game looks amazing, hyperrealism feels a bit uncanny to me. I get easily attached to characters and watching them die in a realistic style.. I don't know how I'm gonna feel about it 👀 And the cartoonish style Sims offers allow for more wiggle room in terms of playfulness towards the unordinary aka supernatural events etc. But I am very pleased that EA are getting some competition. Let's hope it turns out great! I love simulation games in general ^^

[@MellowJelly]

it looks okay but every person has to be asian? sims 4 has diversity and decades of packs, ideas, money and support behind it. it's fine for there to be similar games but nothing will be able to actually replace the sims.

[@TimeTheory2099]

I'm surprised INZOI didn't have a YT channel up before they sent out demo games to beta testers. I guess they didn't want to hear from the general public. I understand that if you want to play this game, you've got to have a TOP end gaming PC.

[@4WheelerinMiami]

I can't wait for all of them. They need to include more disabled characters such as people in Wheelchairs, blind people, etc.

[@Deadmare]

[@devoutburrito]

No.

[@quintessence_sailor]

Realism has nothing to do with why I like the sims, in fact I think moving towards realism is part of the problem. In a game like inzoi it would feel really off-putting to have over the top cartoon violence or alien abductions or tragic clowns but that kind of wackiness is what made the sims fun originally. So this game looks quite boring to me. In fact the graphics are the only thing different about it so far (and the god storyline which is okay I guess but it feels limiting to the kinds of stories the player may want to create) otherwise it basically seems to have most of the same gameplay options but probably with less wackiness. And I find these character models to be unnerving.

[@alexs2195]

what people forgot is that the standart the sims player dont has a 4090TI, so i dont see it working for the same public.

Thank you!! I hope everyone from all over the world will be able to play this new game 👏

[@StarryNightxx]

I was excited about it when I first saw it, but my skepticism is growing with every video. I think people are too easily fooled by pretty graphics and going "game pretty, game good!". It honestly, from what I have seen, looks like itll be a snooze fest after 1 hour of gameplay. It's still in early development so idk we will see, but it would be in everyones best interest not to be too excited. You briefly mentioned the issue of diversity and yes I think that is a huge issue too IF they wanna market to the same demographic that enjoys sims 4. Imo if they wanna "beat the sims" theyd be wise to have all the features the audience begged for years for (pronouns, stretch marks, scars, braces, hearing aids and other healthcare items) on release!! The fact they werent included in the ad material or trailers is suspicious to me. I also think "well look they have a ton of skintones" does not cut it lmao. The sims has a ton of skintones, and cultural items, and different hair textures. I'm just sayin...looks like all they have invested their time into IS the character creation portion cause everything else looks mostly bland and incomplete, and again looks like theyre just depending on the "character pretty, game good!" mindset a lot of those without critical thinking will have. :/

[@SimlikeitHot]

Furthermore, I find it rather ironic that those who say that The Sims4 is just a 'pretty dollhouse with pretty dolls' give nothing but praise to this 'pretty dollhouse with pretty dolls'.....

It has a MASSIVE more skin and hair etc options than The Sims 4 had when it first came out. It's early access. They haven't build the USA inspired world yet. Give them time.

@@fransmith3255 uh u may be surprised by this but gay, deaf, disabled, and people with scars and acne also exist in Korea 😳

[@fransmith3255]

@@StarryNightxx 😲No kidding. Thanks for the tip. Your knowledge is astounding. Who would have thought... 🤣🤣 Seriously, I've lived in Korea for over 5 years now. I'm fairly sure that I've very aware of exactly what people look like here... Since you are espousing such amazing unique knowledge about Korea, have you ever actually been here? What I'm referring to is that the game is in an alpha state - an early state in development. If you don't know what "alpha development state" is, look it up. They have built the Korean inspired city and people to live in to as a bare bones selection for the purposes of early play-testing, which is very common in game development. They are sure to add more. They haven't even built the American or European city yet. When they do, they are very likely to add a lot more variety of hairstyles and features for character creation that will depict people of other cultures more completely. The Sims 4 only fairly recently added a lot more skin tones and hairs etc. Did you play it on release? IIRC The Sims 4 released with something like 8 hair styles for each sex and only a tiny fraction of the skin tones it now has. And as for scars and imperfections, The Sims 4 only just got those added to the base game fairly recently - almost 10 years after the base game was released. You're expectations are ridiculously over the top. This game is in ALPHA - it's not even close to release. Those things are going to be a fairly low priority at the minute. There are already massively more options in this game at it's early alpha state than there ever was in The Sims 4 at it's release state. Make sure that your expectations for this game matches the release state of the other game you're negatively comparing it to. It's character creator is already ridiculously better than The Sims 4 was on release. Give them time to at least finish the game before you start winging about a lot of this stuff.

This looks super interesting, but I also said that about Paralives. Every single time a new Life Sim is announced I'm super excited (except for Life by You, which needs a hella lot more work done before they can even think about releasing it). But I was excited for Paralives and I am excited for this. EA and The Sims NEEDS competition so that they can make themselves better; they're coasting, and their expansion packs aren't hitting the mark for me anymore. I was briefly excited about the For Rent one, but apparently it's not going to be what we think it is. You can only ever see the common area as well as one household at any given time, just like City Living. What is even the point of this expansion pack then? XD But nothing has been released yet! We've been waiting for Paralives for years, and now this one's been announced, but isn't out yet. So I've now learned to hold off any excitement until something is actually released. XD
