The Future of The Sims 4 Interview Rachel Franklin
Another mind boggling interview about The Sims 4. There’s no new information about the future of the game despite the title of the article but it’s worth a read for the sheer wtfery of it all.
Simmer’s Expectations Unreasonable: Studios get the time they need
Peter Moore, COO of Electronic Arts, “is one of the few big executives that isn’t afraid to speak his mind.”
Q: “Where’s everything in Sims 4?”
Peter Moore: “I got all this stuff,” and they forget, “well it’s taken me years, to accumulate this.” Then you ship Sims 4 - now we just did the expansion pack and everything’s starting to feel good about Sims 4 now - but it takes a long time to do that and we always totally underestimate that when we ship a Sims game. You forget what most people now are living with.
Q: Vampires, dogs …
Peter Moore: Everything! They’re on their fifth relationship! The Sims players…They’re a hard-core bunch, a very hard-core bunch.
Toddlers and swimming pools! Think of that and all the furore that was.
