It almost certainly won't be better or anywhere near the quality of the Sims, not even Sims 4, but the idea of having a group of developers that actually listen to and value the voices of the playerbase, and a game that is more of a passion project than a greedy cash grab is definitely exciting and worth supporting.

It looks like a labor of love, the polar opposite of The Sims. The options and details highlight how lazy and cynical The Sims development is. 20 years, as much development power as they want, and they couldn't add simple things like changing handles on kitchen counters or resizing and recoloring objects at will. Instead, after two decades they can't even be bothered to have an actual town for players to look at anymore.

The same thing happened with shooters. Everyone tried to copy Call of Duty's fame during the late 2000's which resulted in so many generic military first person shooters. Later when indie devs started to become prominent, there was an influx of "boomer shooters"... basically retro-like FPS games with either modern or retro-like graphics. There isn't as many generic shooters being developed now because of it and even Doom came back mostly to their classic style. Competition is always a good thing

I personally think a game should be able to stand on its own merits rather then trying to steal the thunder from another game. Like Stardew Valley and My Time at Portia, two games I adore. Fortunately I believe Paralives will be capable of this. That said, I can’t help but smile at the idea that another life sim might compete with EA and take some of their precious money. After the way they butchered the Sims... it’s warranted. Maybe it’ll get them to look at the mess they’ve created and give people what they want.

This has been a sore point since Paralives came out. While Paralives IS it's own game, we need to also realize Sims is pretty much the only SPECIFIC life simulator we can compare this game to. That doesn't mean we are trying to MAKE Paralives into Sims or anything, but it's not like we have many other games to compare it to. And, tbh, I notice a lot of this weird hostility coming from simmers who, I guess, see Paralives as a threat or something, but it's just a new game. There's nothing wrong with being excited about it, but also being realistic, because it's NOT the Sims and it's not coming out for, at least, a few more years. So, don't apologize for using, really, the only thing we have to compare and talk about another life simulation game. I just hope Paralives is good; I'm not even that crazily worried about if it makes the Sims better; I just want it to be a good game on it's own.

A lot of CC in The SIms 4 also look wrong because people play with some modded skin and it looks weird if you don't play with that mod. Most cc hairs stand out because are more detailed, which could be good but in most cases it just looks weird. It's not just a case of game graphics not looking real or too bright and gloosy, it's also a case of modders doing things that feels way off. I get what you mean though. I also want to see improved textures. It is refreshing but I would get tired of these textures within a month.

I've been a patreon of theirs for over a year and the amount of content and updates we get weekly it's so heartwarming, they take you to the long ass development process with reports of what they did said week, screenshots and surveys on inclusivity and representation which means a lot to me, considering how important these topics should be in the gaming industry. I honestly get frustrated with people that just don't get how hard is to put a game out there when you're not backed up by big cash and publishing houses, i just saw a video of a yter calling them a fraud just because they have videos on assets, i mean. I can't tell if this will be the city skyline of the sims franchise and honestly i don't care, i believe this game is special and i'm more than happy to support their work and motivation in a industry that forces you to cut corners and be overall shady.

I don’t see paralives as a replacement for the sims, I see it as it’s own game. I’ll always love the sims, sims 2 and sims 3 are just too much fun to stop playing. I think that it’s always good to have multiple games in the same genre, it gives heathy competition and options. The sims is great, the last one not so much, but overall it’s great but it’s dominated the life simulation genre for so long that I think some developers are scared to dip their toes into it like the sims has. Paralives, for me, will be another great life simulation game to play. Just like how I can enjoy animal crossing and stardew valley at the same time. As long as the gameplay in paralives is good, then I’ll be happy. It doesn’t have to be another version of the sims, it just has to give me that good experience of a life simulator and accurately depict life (plus some goofy stuff possibly like aliens haha).

He fell into some bad habits and bad company and he lost contact with his family. During a party with his questionable friends, he met Lucas and they desperately fell in love with each other. So they decided to quit everything and escape from their lives. They started to travel around the world and Sebastian rediscovered his love for food and rare ingredients, collecting herbs and mushrooms everywhere. After a while, they decided to settle down, got married and adopted a child together. They were happy, but Lucas died in a tragic accident. Sebastian is now determined to save his family and to give his child a bright future. He wants to make things right and accomplish his grandma's old dream of opening a restaurant.

If Paralives become a success, EA will have three paths they can follow: 1. They'll keep going the way they are with the Sims, and the majority of players will most likely leave it in favor of Paralives, resulting in a slow and painful demise for the franchise. 2. They'll decide then and there to give up on the Sims rather than spend money trying to compete, and slowly fizzle out updates and expansions, and then never touch, or let anyone else touch, the franchise again. or 3. This is the one I am most hopeful for, but considering that it's EA, it's also the least likely; they'll get a massive wake up call and begin actually trying with the Sims again, leading to a timeline where the Sims start becoming good again, and is able to peacefully co-exist with Paralives

@PleasantSims 3 жыл бұрын

I think it will be #1. I don't think EA will ever see Paralives as a threat and will continue business as usual. But I also don't think there will be a mass exodus of SIms players to Paralives. Many people will play both, and many people will stay with The Sims. That's my prediction, but in the end all I care about is that Paralives is a good game and it's successful in it's own right.

@biblicallyaccuratecockroach 3 жыл бұрын

If we take SimCity as an example I'd vote for option 2, and if they're feeling particularly vindictive they'll be waiting for Paralives to announce their release date, then announce Sims 5 the week prior to that, just to add some good old fashioned corporate sabotage. People have limited funds, and most people, even if they're interested in both games, can only spend on one at a time. Unfortunate release dates have sent many a good game to die in the shadows. The delay of Cyberpunk 2077 has caused many smaller games to delay their own releases as well so they'd have a chance to breathe without such monumental competition.

@hkazu63 3 жыл бұрын

Seeing as how EA usually is, I would not be surprised if EA tried to buy them out and claim Paralives for themselves, as a means of giving up The Sims in the long run, or reusing assets for The Sims 5. EA is the definition of the evil game company and they would usually do anything to swallow a competitor whole. Just watch, when Paralives approaches completion, EA are gonna announce something specifically to overshadow its release, and if they succeed, they’ll offer the devs money as a means of claiming the IP for themselves.

While I do think Paralives is looking great so far, and that the developement is slow, we still haven't seen any ACTUAL gameplay yet.

They seem very focused on the look of the game and build mode over everything else (which is exactly what The Sims 4 has focused on first). Also Cindy you said that Cities Skylines was an indie game but it actually isn't, it's made under Paradox Interactive which is a huge game development company (except they care about gameplay and their communities).

@arielc8584 3 жыл бұрын

What I will say is that the team has been very clear on how they wanted to progress through initial development. They started with build mode to give the characters a place to be. Then they are creating the characters and the in game method of designing said characters. After these things are set up to the point the Devs want them they will move to gameplay. While I understand not wanting to get excited, it's worth noting that it's hard to make a good video to help convince people to support your crowdfunded game if you start purely at interactions or gameplay. What is there to show for interactions or gameplay if you lack a setting or characters? Even worse would be to use unity assets, which generally puts people off the game right away because the developer hasn't actually made them. *Cough* People of Newberry *Cough*

But it would need to show actual core work/gameplay to get me excited. One of the biggest scam "games" in history did the whole showing of gifs and "gameplay" which was just staged animations (Chronicles of Elyria). I'm not calling this game a scam. Just saying to be healthily skeptical until actual 100% proven footage is shown. (maybe they do to Patrons?)

I hope this like the rivalry between the FIFA series and Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series back in the first decade of the 2000s. For those of you who don't know, these are association football/soccer games and are arguably the most popular sports games worldwide. EA used to have a near-monopoly over the soccer games market with its FIFA series, but the quality dropped and the product became stale and boring with little innovation. It became quite superficial, albeit it was still popular because it was widely advertised and slickly packaged. (Seems to be a very EA thing to do - polishing turds) Then Konami brought along its Pro Evolution Soccer series (Known as "Winning Eleven" in Japan). It did not have the brand value of FIFA or even much in the way of actual team licenses. Graphics and presentation were inferior to FIFA. Yet, PES gave smooth, realistic gameplay that many soccer fans wanted in their videogames. This forced EA to experiment and make changes, it took them a few years but they eventually started making excellent FIFA games again and the rivalry between the two brands continues to this day. The ultimate winners from this competition are, of course, us, the consumers. The Sims is the best selling game series of all time, with a wide appeal to many (particularly ladies) who are otherwise not gamers. It's time some others jump on the life sim market to bring competition and the advantages that bring to the consumers.

The game looks so nice, but I really am looking forward to seeing how the gameplay is. The whole thing we've talked about on here and on Twitter is always that with the Sims 4 is that there is just no desire to play because the Sims get boring so quickly. They don't feel like individuals, the game is all about visual appeal. So I hope once they get the visual and graphical aspects set in, they really set in on core gameplay. Relationships, interactions, individuality, all things I really am hopeful that they try to work on as far as gameplay. Also, one thing I was talking about with some of my friends is in the Sims 4, I love the LIVE jobs, and I wish they had more of them, because I feel like they'd give you more incentive to play through more Sims, to get to play different careers. Like imagine if Sims brought back Ghost Hunting? Or if they made the Teaching or Law careers Live jobs instead of just ones where you send your Sim off? So I hope they focus on making more interactive jobs in Paralives, because it will give you that replayability to keep you going when you're a generations/legacy based player like myself, who just wants to have something new to do each time around. Again going off of replayability and making each Para feel individual, I would love to have more hobbies to really put time into. Like I'd love if they split skills up more in Paralives. Where the Sims just has a basic "Art" skill, what if in Paralives, they had drawing, painting, sculpting, etc? I think it would help you to really get different experiences with each Para you play

The animation and character style really reminds me of the 2012 black and white Pixar short 'Paperman'. That short was so refreshing because it took away something that many animators rely on - bright colours - and instead focused on using light, shadows, and subtle movement or the characters and environments to render the overall moods and emotions of the film. That short was so simple but also a huge success. I feel like Paralives is sort of hitting the same stride: less detail for graphics but the light rendering is amazing for every environment we've seen, the character's features are less realistic but their facial expressions are already way less robotic and more endearing. A different way to approach the "valley of the uncanny". Im really looking forward to this game.

XD Ont he flip side for EA though. I get t. You can't please everyone, you can't do everything at once, you have to organize, and you can't always cram everything into one pack. People forget that these things take TIME...especially if it's detailed and complicated things.

I'd say this is what happens when you rush out a unfinished base game and lock yourself in a corner where the game can't do or add much.

We need to, but if someone don't have money you can support with making opinions and give support to the post and the game, that will make te creators more excited and they'll listen to the people, it's not necessary to pay money, just support

really hoping it won’t be a yandere simulator situation where the game is still being developed 577644 years after the videos

I doubt something made by 3 people can compete with the quantity of stuff and marketing level a company like EA can dish out. We'll come from Sims 4 and expect a full experience that all the expansions and packs built up to now and we'll probably find we're missing so many things. But who knows, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. I just went and wishlisted it. If I'll be able to make futuristic and medieval builds and fantasy characters, I'll be doubly impressed. I'm hoping they'll not stick to something closer to farming simulators, but something closer to building your own story the way you want it in whatever setting you want it. You know, like Sims was supposed to be.

Very excited for this game! One thing I'm just worried about is that people might expect too much from Paralives. Not that the developer won't and can't deliver, but we can see from their timeline that everything starts from scratch and it probably would not be easy to include almost everything what Sims has to offer.

I'm admittedly a bit anxious even with the development laid out. I don't think it's a scam, but there was another developer that extensively made promises on his game for what features would be in the game, showed off features already in the game, documented his game's development on KZfaq and his blog, and ultimately failed to keep any promises he made and descended into becoming an even bigger joke than Journey to Batuu. and his name was also Alex.

I love love love that you made a video about Paralives!!! They need as much recognition as possible. The team is super talented and passionate about this project, some of them are fans of The Sims 2 so I think we might be in for a treat :D
