minus-squareByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up26·4 months agoShame since I really wanted a Sims competitor. Sims 4 is a mess of a game.
minus-squarecoyotino [he/him]@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·4 months agoYeah but after Cities:Skylines 2, you have to imagine that LBY had to be looking ROUGH if Paradox was afraid of showing it to the world. They probably did us a mercy tbh.

minus-squarecoyotino [he/him]@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 months agoC:S 2 got lots of preview coverage as well. Marketers are very good at hiding performance issues in preview coverage.
minus-squareski11erboi@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up18·4 months agoParalives is still going strong! It’s looking like it will be strong enough of a competitor to actually influence future sims developments.

minus-squaresoulsource@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoJust look at the trailer. Of course there is still some animation jank, but the overall visuals are just stunning. It’s so uncanny valley that I might feel bad for deleting the pool ladders (or whatever the equivalent of that is in inZOI).
