The Sims 4 Release Date for PS4 and Xbox One

The Sims 4 is a very popular game and it seems that the console owners will be able to finally play this game. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners, as these consoles are pretty old and their specifications can’t support a game like this.

So will this one lack in content compared to the PC one because it's a console port (other past Sims games are the same) OR because the PC lacked in content from the start.

I honestly think they should aim in making the console ones like the PC versions, I doubt it but they should package all the expansions they've done so far.

BushidoKiyoshi3060d ago

Either they include the expansions or they will sell it as DLC which is what I think will happen.

-Foxtrot3060d ago (Edited 3060d ago )

Remember Sims 3 DLC

Face Pack/Furniture pack (stuff you can unlock in the game) - £11.99

¬¬

They could release the console version alongside the PC and release full expansions as DLC for both.

Null3060d ago

How much do you wanna bet this is gonna be like the Sims on console. They're gonna release the game on console and do what they did on for TS2/3 on PS2,Gamecube,PSP, DS, PS3 and 360. They're gonna give us the game late (after they've released on PC with a ton of DLC) give us none of it, have the nerve to charge you full price for it (base/dlc) and release a bunch of versions of the game when new DLC comes out and not include ANY of the old dlc on the disc for $60 each time. Then to make things worse, we wont be able to get any CC from EA's in-game user sharing site.

BushidoKiyoshi3060d ago

Guess we will have to wait and see. However just the fact that the game is coming out for new-gen consoles is great news.

Sm00thNinja3060d ago

2 years+ in they are no longer new Gen consoles but I agree great news

ThunderPulse3059d ago

I see that happening which is disappointing to me.

RiseofScorpio3059d ago

Don't click. Clickbait article EA haven't said anything about a release yet. Very poorly worded article as well.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga54d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo54d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken55d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN54d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199254d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies54d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde54d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai55d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken55d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
