While SimCity received a mixed welcome due to server problems and always online features, Maxis’ Emeryville studio has been working hard on improving it and correcting the nags, including the recent removal of said always online requirement. Apparently, though, they’re ready to move on to something new.
On December 7th The Sims 4: For Rent will be available. Nosy neighbors, cranky landlords - what will be coming in this new DLC?
TechRaptor writes "Roughly 30 years ago, SimCity was making waves as a fun new simulation game. Players could build out an entire city and watch it spring to life — or die a horrible, fiery death. Fans had loads of fun with the games until the franchise (and its developer) more or less fell flat by the mid-2010s, but they might not know that Maxis once made business games, too."
Sadly Maxis games changed a lot after what EA did to the studio and Will Wright leaving the studio. I'd welcome more games like this returning, I don't know if they will, but if they do I'm all for it.
Today, during EA's conference call for investors and analysts, the publisher's executives talked about the future and the next generation of consoles.
Hmmmm let me make this a little more honest...: EA teases unknown Micro transactions! Really!, it is literally unknown Micro transactions. They will say they have no "plans" for MT's then release MTs after people start playing it. So they are unknown (to the player that is).
A remastered Mass Effect collection in 4k in time for next-gen would be a nice gifrt to the fans waiting for Mass Effect 4, and I believe it would sell very well.
I am all for another Battlefield in a few years time. DICE obviously needs their time to avoid another Battlefield V horror release.
They should just let LA Dice hire more people and let them work on a Battlefield or another Medal of Honor
Hard to believe that studio was responsible for the Mass Effect trilogy. Just a shadow of it's former self. I am somewhat relieved EA didn't shut them down yet... They produced only disasters this gen except for inquisition. Still hoping they will turn that sinking ship around!
I hope they don't screw it up like they did with Simcity.
City size is still to way to small, it's more like building a village or something.
Sim Ant 2 please
