The hugely popular life simulator dubbed, The Sims, has officially been announced for a 2014 release date by Electronic Arts. The Sims 4 will be releasing for both PC and Mac
this upcoming year with no solid release date as of yet.
The Sims 4 will be created by longtime Sims developer, Maxis while staying at home with publisher EA. In a conference call, Maxis stated that The Sims 4 will be returning to the roots that originally made The Sims such a great franchise. They also said that they’re looking into adding a bit more complexity to the way that sims interact and converse with one another one-to-one, adding on that it is very important for them to do so.
It also seems that Maxis may have learned a thing or two from the largely criticized always online “feature” in the most recently released SimCity
. Fans of the franchise didn’t shy away from letting it be known that it was a feature that they didn’t like, and it looks like Maxis agrees this time around. Although some online features may be included, it has been confirmed that a consistent internet connection will not be required to play The Sims 4 on a PC or Mac.
