THE SIMS IS GETTING A NEW COMPETITOR
February 8, 201743 CommentsJovan Jovic19,619 Views2 Min Read


Someone was finally brave enough to tackle and develop the wonders of a life simulation game other than Maxis.

Project Vie, the name of this life simulation game project, first appeared back in September 2016 with no detailed info other than the following description on their Reddit page:

Vie (stylized “vie”) is a life simulation game with managerial and role-playing elements. We’re currently in an early stage of development, but you’ll be hearing more from us soon.



They answered a few Reddit comments regarding Project Vie, not specifically going into details about the game itself

We’re Simmers just like you, we know what’s up with The Sims just like you. We’re doing our best to make a fun game with the right style and gameplay, and we’re doing our best to please as many people as we can. But that’s all you’ll hear from me for now…
What’s the point in making what is essentially the same game? We think you’re going to love it. In fact, we’re going to be paying close attention to the community to make sure!
We’ll give them (EA) something to be afraid of, don’t worry ,March 15th more news to come.

    It's speculated to be a hoax.

    Whether or not that is true remains to be seen until March 15th, but judging by the controversy of the 'developer' on a Sims forum coupled with the fact they are unveiling their 'game' in a completely abnormal way, and have presented us with nothing but a badly made logo, I would not let your hopes get up.

    Probably an indie game, with all that entails. Expect less animations, less CAS customization, less voice actors, less music, less build/buy options and so on. But give it enough time and support, it could maybe one day rival The Sims, one day.

    There's also this one that's been on the radar for some time : Identity.

    ... what about Second Life and Singles? :frowning: All these kind of games can obviously coexist without any problems.
