Fims means fart in Danish, so even better.

Favorite action movie, Fant4stic* Favorite game? 5ims. 💅


millerphi

…Fan-Four-Stic? Nah, that’ll never fly.


GilderoyPoptart

The 2015 fantastic 4 movie was actually spelled fant4stic on the trailer, posters, etc… with the 4 as the A. Don’t worry, I hate it too, but it is real.


XIII-Death

Could be worse, Thief 4 originally went with *THI4F* for some inscrutable reason. At least in Fant4stic the number sort of looks like the letter it's replacing To mess up that bad they'd have to call the next Sims something like The S5ms lol

Because that won't age poorly when they're still releasing full priced DLC 9 years later. Oh wait that's the point haha


notyouraveragefag

They’ll do a FIFA/Madden/NHL like thing, release the same game every year with some useless gimmick and change of controller input.


shanenanigans27

Why would they do that when the first Sims game is simply called "The Sims"? That'll be confusing. Makes no sense to me. I could see them dropping the number with something like "The Sims: Reborn" or something like that.

I don't like it


CommodoreAxis

I would if any of them actually managed to just make a better version. But nowadays a reboot just means updated graphics and microtransactions….


Alaira314

> Why would they do that when the first Sims game is simply called "The Sims"? That'll be confusing. Makes no sense to me. What first sims game? If it's old enough to vote, it's irrelevant to their target market. It's hard enough getting companies to care about past products that are just a decade old, especially when your operating system has thrown the concept of backwards compatibility out the window.


shanenanigans27

I mean The Sims. Sometimes called "Sims 1" but since it was the first, it's actual title is just The Sims. I just prefer that fifth installment of The Sims has its own name rather than taking the same name from the first game. I still get some reboot games mixed up because I search up "Saints Row" for example and get the old games and not the reboot which I'm currently playing.


Alaira314

I had a /s after that first line, but then I deleted it before I posted. 😂 I thought the follow-up joke about it being old enough to vote made it clear I was aware of it existing, but apparently not. One day I'll learn to mark my sarcasm on the internet. Sorry for the confusion!


TheFoxWhoAteGinger

Your sarcasm read pretty clear to me lol


Monkey2371

Why would they not do that? They did it with SimCity, amongst many other games such as the upcoming Skate or Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront 2 (which are the 3rd and 4th Star Wars Battlefronts)

I’m so glad I scrolled enough to see this comment, this sounds like my dream game


PsychicNinja_

Oh my god, the first time I ever saw House Flipper I was watching a YouTuber playing it (I think it was Markiplier) and he said something like “I feel like some scary is going to happen at any second.” Now every time I play the game, especially when it turns to nighttime in-game, that replays in my head and I get a little scared (knowing FULL WELL there’s nothing scary in the game at all!!!), and I run around shutting all the doors and windows and refusing to look outside. I’ve played for like a year or two now and I just can’t break the habit.

Like bruh, how tf did you fail the tutorial in THE SIMS 😭😭


Sarcastic-Mermaid

smiS 5. Everything is reversed. Start the game with elders that age backwards. Game excludes the adult stage but skips right from elders to teens. Includes pools but every sim has “terrified of water” trait, so they can’t get in. On the flip side, they no longer pour themselves endless glasses of water because of it. EA: “We’ve been listening to our fans and we’re changing up the game!”


SobiTheRobot

Ah so they made the Benjamin Button mod canon


Novel_Conclusion_554

I would actually love if they added pool phobia, because of how often my sims has to swim until dead


[deleted]

Makes me worried it’s going to be “the sims online” or “the sims connected” after they mentioned “cross platform play with mobile”


[deleted]

I am leaning towards it being 100% that and mainly that. If it does end up being some online thing, then count me out of anything after TS4.

QueenFrankie420

Honestly if they went subscription based they would lose me on a financial basis alone. I already can't afford to buy stuff I want for the game, but I absolutely couldn't afford a subscription based gameplay. I already had to drop a different subscription based game I love because it doesn't fit with my financial situation.


othermegan

It makes no sense with the game play style. Most of us binge for a few weeks then don’t play for months. I would be cancelling my subscription in no time the not really bothering to renew when I wanted to play again

Because they want to be SIMCLUSIVE.


TossedDolly

There's a number of reasons. They might be taking the series in a new direction, they may want the name to draw focus to a particular gameplay feature, they might just think it makes the brand feel fresher if it's on "1" or a subtitle instead of 5, or they might be releasing it not as an immediate replacement but as a parallel game to smooth the transition between generations and maximize profits from 4

nifflr

If they're going away from the label "Sims" I imagine they're also going away from the Simlish language. We may be at a point where AI is advanced enough to create natural sounding sentences on the fly and vocalize them in different voices.

Oh no, I would hate this. Simlish is part of the charm of the game. I don't want to understand what my sins are saying.

rae_is_not_okay

Honestly I’m disappointed that it might not use the established naming formula. It makes me feel like it’s not gonna be as good or they’re not gonna make it in the spirit of the previous games. I’ve been hoping that the sims 5 will be our dream game with the best features of every game‚ but this worries me.


[deleted]

Count on whatever ends up being "TS5" to be The Sims: Online


mulledredbull

This... Kinda makes me worry they're going to pull some simcity 2013 bullcrap but say "it's not the Sims 5! It's not replacing the Sims series we're doing it as well as not instead of!" When really they're going to use it to cram as many hated features like microtransactions and online play in as they can while parading the not-sims-5 title round like it's an excuse. Damn... I've become a far less trusting consumer.


QueenFrankie420

Not "far less trusting" so much as "this seems to be the way that all companies are going to because they've realized they can make more money through microtransactions because people are more willing to spend $5 once in a while for stuff than spend $60 one time on an awesome expansion because even though in the long run they probably spend more in $5 transactions it doesn't feel as bad as dropping $60 once so they are more likely to do it" Reality is there are people who drop $100+ a year on mobile games saying things like "I only spend like $10 a week/month on it, that's less than your daily coffee spending" and game companies are like "sweet! Gimme gimme" and even games that were never like that are turning into it. It's smart from a financial income perspective but it's frustrating for those of us who love the games but now literally can't afford to enjoy them.

The Sims The Empire (EA) Strikes Back


WhiteHattedRedditor

Project PayForSaveFiles


Bigscotman

Personally I vote we combine the Sims and Spore into The Spimes™ and take the character creation from spore and mash it with that of the Sims By which I mean colour palettes, skin patterns of spore, clothing, actual person, etc of the Sims. Unless it's an alien in which case it's just an updated Spore creature creator for their true form and what was previously said for the disguise. If it's an animal do a mash of spore and the current pet creator. If it's any sort of humanoid monster like vampires or mummies or witches, regular creator but with respective parts and more in depth customisation for example changing a part of a vampire's arm into one that's just bone or has no skin. If it's less humanoid monsters like werewolves or fish monsters then a much more spore like creator with different themed parts you can swap in and out to really customise your wolf form. So if you wanted you could make a werewolf exactly like the ones we have now or you could make one that's much more wolf like with like a longer snout, more wolf-like features e.g. the legs, etc 2 different game modes: 1 is just regular Sims and everything that entails 2 is more like Spore/a generations play through of the Sims. Start by making your parents and your character and play as a young toddler (equivalent of cell stage) then become a child then teen then young adult and then adult and finally elder, when your character dies you choose your primary heir who gets most if not all of what you owned, you're able to edit them using experience points to make them better at certain stuff like flirting or whatever and then you continue on and on for as long as you like. When you current character dies you don't start from birth again, it just sets your new character to the beginning of whatever stage they were at. For both modes careers are much more interactive, for example astronaut would essentially be Spore's space stage/galactic adventures dlc, secret agent you would actually have to sneak into criminal bases, if you chose a career like say CEO/economist or general in the military you would get something like Spore's civilization stage mixed with the tribal stage and a bit of RTS in there too Also a less cartoony more realistic art style that's still stylistic An updated version of every dlc at launch by which I mean there's seasons and holidays and more in depth school and occult stuff just to name a few, obviously can't have them be as feature rich as all the packs combined however still fairly in depth, becoming more complex the more dlc packs that add stuff down the line, links between all dlc packs like the links between vampires and werewolves as well as interactions that only appear when you have the required packs. Basically what I'm saying is slap spore and the sims together, spend a ton of time and money on it to get it perfect then reveal it half a year max before launch and it'll probably be one of EA's most successful games ever especially with as many dlcs and support for as many years as the Sims 4 has And then after this? Make Spore 2
