Comment on EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 days agoI think the saddest part was observing a clear wind down of Sims 4 then last second “lol JK we’re not releasing another sims game” and the entire player base seemed to release a collective sigh that some of the structural problems that have plugged TS4 are here to stay

Project Remora or whatever the hell Sims 5 was supposed to be was suffering from significant takeoff, vision, conceptual and design issues.
Every day, five or six designers would argue about if a feature was inclusive enough, a gesture was offensive, a Simlish term or phrase was close enough to a real life slur. If a neighborhood had enough representation or diversity.
What they learned was that reality is actually quite cruel and biased and creating their perfect garden hedge-maze of a game removed the essence and life out of it. Sims 5 did not reflect the reality that players actually experienced or had day-to-day, and it was entirely the designer’s fault.
They had created the very thing they despised, a cookie-cutter suburbian barbie doll house. With multiplayer, ripe for trolling.
So yeah, I’m not surprised Sims 5 was cancelled.

Do you have a source for any of that rage bait so we can laugh at it?

It’s difficult to find, Project Rene is over two years old now, this is some early test demo footage:

Project Rene was literally the biggest news in the Sims space a couple of years ago, it’s not hard to find info about it.
But you know what is hard to find? Anything supporting the wild story you spun to dunk on people who are trying to be decent to their fellow human
