I just cant imagine them making TSO again, my hope is that we just get a little expanded simport/simcity stuff like living in a city with someone. You can just play normally with a chatbox on your top-right, or even going to your simfriends neighborhood for a limited time visit or something.
I really don't think EA will make the mistake of putting TS4 online. I think what it will have is an online option. They know that simmers hate the idea of it being an MMO. The number of people asking for an MMO is very very small. Most people just want a peer to peer option of multiplayer not some full blown TSO.
They do understand that if they do this wrong that would be two sims game EA has ruined in a row. They won't do it, it isn't another Simsonline. Let's not even mention the crudeness off TSO. Let's talk about gameplay also. It was the most boring game you can think of basically like sims social you could only control 1 sim!!!!!. There was no life stages, no control for what goes on in your lot. Not to mention EA will lose it's youngest playerbase. They need to understand that allow things allows breading grounds for trouble that Even if EA had the manpower still wouldn't police why, cause it's know they don't take care or maintain their online games.
Seriously do you know how many people will have stopped playing this game. If I was EA i would not bring back that MMO at all.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did make a new TSO, and, as I've said before, those of us who don't want TS4 to be like SimCity should be happy if they do.
EA are not stupid, they know how to make money - the fact that they're still here after 21 years proves that. They know that a large - probably the larger - part of the fanbase for The Sims doesn't want the game to be online only. But they also know that a smaller part do, and that an online version of the game would bring new fans as well. So they know that by making the game online only, they risk losing a lot of fans and money, but by making an online version of the game, they also bring in a lot of money.
The solution? Make an online version to please the people that want it, keep TS4 as single player for the people that don't.
If they don't do it that way, they'll probably integrate online play and social features into TS4, but I doubt they will make the game online-only.
Star Wars the Old republic is a MMO/RPG game, ofcourse it's online...
And Mass Effect 3 has optional multiplayer. It's also a shooter.
The Sims is not an MMO game and not a Shooter game. It's a life simulation with fun twists. It can have online but if it has then it should be optional, just like Simport.
I don't know if they would make The Sims Online again after what happened to the last one...and if TS4 is an "always online" game, that won't bother me. But, that's just my opinion. I am really excited for tomorrow!
Personally I'd be ok with TS4 being online as long as 1) it isn't a requirement and 2) single player gamers won't be penalized by not going online. I'd love to visit different worlds though that people have made and have them cause drama in my own world, haha.
Good. If it's the news I'm dreading, I can quickly accept that I won't be going further than Sims 3, and if it's good news, well, I can get excited.
Same feelings ! I've already got a lot of things to create in TS2 and TS3 like my own perfect world and finally I could really begin to play my stories and use all the features available.
The Sims 4, The Sims Online (2013) or The Sims Social 2
Anyway, the answer in 24 hours

:thumbup:
once everything is released for Sims 3 we won't have to wonder or worry about making room for what's coming next! I kind of liked playing Sims 2 that way, until I crossed over to Sims 3.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionWhich is the following things:
1. Incompatible with the way the Sims 3 has been going. They'd have to go back to Sims 2-style lots.
2. Not a solution to any of the problems I named.
3. An epic failure waiting to happen, just like SimCity was.
