EA Announces The Sims 4 is Coming to XB1/PS4 on November 17th
- Thread starter jelmerjt
- Start date
I can see it happening maybe next year, this is the kinda EA game I can see them investing in on Switch, more then their AAA shooters that they might have to scale down., Sims and Sports games will make sense.
Preordered! Already have it on PC along with a bunch of packs, mainly for the other half, but can see myself playing this on console. Will be nice to have something different as a change of pace from the big shooters this year.
Hope it gets XBX support.
Any word on expansions...?

Agreed. They are one of the least favorable, if not the least favorable major western publishers for Nintendo. I think they are waiting to see how FIFA does and that's it. 2K originally had NBA2K and added WWE2K before the former was released, I would assume based on strong Switch sales. With EA, it's FIFA strong sales or bust.
I'm curious as to this, too.
Based on the earlier Microsoft Store listing, we know that the game is not launching with much DLC - if any. That makes me wonder about future DLC release plans; I think that's actually the end-game here.
I think EA will finally adopt the Games as Service method that is all the rage now on the console space and that has already worked so well for the series over on the PC side.
Quarterly DLC ports, perhaps? Probably over-priced for my taste, but I think it would find an audience on consoles - particularly on Xbox if there is an incentive through EA Access. We'll see.

Not powerful enough to handle the SimsI'm ready. PS4 here I come.
Would love a Switch version

From the official site:
So it looks like it will be getting stuff packs and whatnot, potentially expansion packs too, but there is an awful amount of the word "some" there which suggests that maybe not all content is coming?

Man I know a lot of people would kill for a Sims game on Switch with the portability and all. EA going to EA though, maybe in another 2 years

No mod support, not worth getting tbh....but cool I guess. I don't see EA treating this like the PC version at all

Im in but at a discount, the last year has been a lesson in how games are dropping in price at a crazy rate.
I would argue one shouldn't even think this. Better to expect nothing at all. Don't even allow the smallest possibility to get through. Nothing from EA will come and FIFA is just a one off. People need to repeat that to themselves over and over again.

I haven't played a Sims game in ages, so I'll be down to play this once it's free on EA Access. I wonder what the achievement/trophy list will be like...

I'd potentially get it down the line but this year is too stacked to get it at or near release.

fuck dude EA needs to teach a 400 level class called Innovations in Modern Sadness
Remember the good old days when your loved ones would simply retreat to a little computer nook to become a ruthless, faceless demigod -- obsessed with the travails and torments of an innocent family of their own creation? Remember how they laughed and cried as their creations toiled and expired in a sadistic, Sisyphean Ouroboros? Now this is all happening on the big TV during SportsCenter. Thankfully America's not burdened with an armed, mentally unstable electorate, who knows what would happen?

Neat, I wonder if they'll allow the marketplace for others to put their creations.
How was Sims 3 on consoles?
Hah, ironically Sims 4 is extremely trimmed down compared to other Sims games. Gotta sell those content packs!

Well first to answer your question there were things taken out of the console release. Plus load times were really bad if I recall correctly. Worse than the PS2 Sims games at least. It made me not buy it at the end.
Also, looking at your response to my post, D'OH!!!
The main things that were missing from pre Sims games and brought backwere given away for free though from what I remember.

How do these typically run on console? On PC the performance decreases with each content pack which really sucks.
Also any swimming pools yet?
If cheap I might buy.

Swimming pools were added not long after the game came out.
Normally these games on consoles are completely separate entities that ran ok, maybe a bit slow. The Sims 3 was the closest to the PC version, but was pretty bad after a while from what I heard.
The Sims 4's performance on PC hasn't gotten worse with each pack from what I can tell. It was immediately obvious with 3 and its expansions, but I've not had any issues with 4 so far.
There were swimming pools in the trailer.
I love Sims but yes this part just kills the game. I won't support it.
It's a lot better now, but it still has issues and some of them can't simply be fixed by adding content.

Yeah, I really need to catch up on all the stuff I've missed on consoles. Still got an unplayed copy of Tropico 5 sitting there and there's a few more that I need to grab.
Dat 200 price tag tho
It's EA so should go on sale fairly quickly at least. Not paying £55 for it.
Yes dissapointing. I dont have the patience to play such a game on my tv. I rather play a story based game or something more deep. But the sims4 is perfect to play in bed or to play on your desk while being doing computer stuff. Shame

Indeed, me neither. I'm hoping it will play same as PC version unlike the previous console editions.

Will the PC version get controller support? I'm assuming it doesn't already.

This game is hot garbage. Get Sims 3 instead on whatever PC you have and go down the rabbit hole of mods.
