I agree, if it continues with a Store or F2P type game as one EA top guy stated is their goal eventually for many of their games...I won't be either. I can just see it...F2P, buy your disc (Like WOW) install, but need to be online, and if your Sim needs a house you will have to buy the wood etc. on the F2P site. One wall (tile square size) used to cost $70.00, not sure what it costs in TS3 don't pay attention anymore... :roll: But I can just see that now..I need a 6x6 room and have to fork out .70 per wall online to get a 2x2 room. :roll:
I'm sorry to say this but EA did plenty of advertising of sims 3 before the game was scheduled to release which was that winter, it was clear there were complications with sims 3 from the beginning, you don't hold a release back for a game because of advertising that is absurd. You hold release back because of a major glitch that makes the game virtually unplayable at release. Given it was suppose to be released in February of that year to push it all the way to June, that is not for advertising like people say that is for a serious issue occuring. Not to mention their were already news articles stating the game was not ready for release and had to push the date back. Which at that time any Marketing is going to snag that opportunity and push advertising, marketing woudl be foolish not too.
EA didn't do it's serious marketing of the game till around April and it was May when the team was out of beta and ready for release. So im sorry to tell you this the hold on release was because of problems. EA announced the game in March of 2008, and released in june of 2009 thats more than a year inbetween and yes EA does put that time between the game and they surely will do it again if they need to. Sims 4 is not a game that you can just pump out in 3.5 years and I certainly won't be buying it if they do because in all honesty it will have twice as many issues as sims 3 when they rushed out the game knowing the complications it has. With advancement in developement becomes the need for more time on release. If sims 4 was coming out in 2013 that announcement would have been made by now to push a years worth of advertising and awareness. That's a sure sign we aren't seeing an announcement until 2013 and release in 2014 around summer. My opinin on the matter is wait an extra year, because if i get the same rabbithole infested game like sims 3, with the no baby feet larva, cpu memory hog, that clearly has borrowed most of it's coding from sims 2 and therefore created all this horrid glitches, the most broken engine i ever seen so we can't even have an open venue restaurant, half of a game, missing interactions, can't even travel to subhoods, pumped out like sims 3 they won't see a dime of my money.
I'm not going to wait a full 8 expansions for a restaurant, something we had in sims 1. However now it is not possible for sims 3 a game made over a decade later cannot put restaurants with waitresses and hostesses in the game..... EA should take advantage of sims 3 and it's 10 expansion rumor because there is clearly room for more. Add an aditional year to developement for sims 4 to ensure their game is indeed fun to play and the advertising on the game is at least true. Play with life, again how is that possible when my sims is in a rabbithole for 5 minutes and you're telling me what he is doing with text messages and moodlets. Doesn't that mean EA is playing with life i am just watching? Ii didn't pay 1000 dollars to watch my sims live i pay that kind of money to play with it. Let's hope they get the picture. My biggest thing is actually sit down and play your own game so you know it's fun. Rabbit Holes are not fun, ever.
The ten expansions and stuff packs were most likely a filler for the EA website and domain.
Think about it: TS1 had 7, TS2 had 8.
Also, why else would they rush everything to come out this year?
4 Stuff Packs (Master Suite, Katy Perry, Diesel, Seaside)
and 3 expansions (showtime, supernatural, seasons)
Why would they do all that if 2 more eps & sps were coming out?
I agree as well the CAS for one is a disappointment
Sims 3 still seems like it has a long way to go.
But who am I to know.
I think it won't be released during the first semester of 2014.
We'll see if others TS3 EP will be released in 2014.

The Sims 4 General Discussion"...at the Los Angeles Convention Center and we’re very excited to unveil what we’ve been working on."
Not sure about the rest of you, but to me - it screams The Sims 4 8)
So, although it might be, it also might not. :?
edit: just to clarify my thought process: they've shut down SimSocial but they'll still want that 'hook' to attract the casual/social gamer. So I'm guessing they'll have something similar in the pipeline, but I doubt it's aimed at the hard-core sims fans, it's not us they're trying to reach.
It's E3, that's when all massive announcements are made. I'm 100% sure it's for The Sims 4, especially after recent team changes, hire listings, gurus being transferred on a new team etc. Facebook games don't get such publicity, nor anything similar to Facebook games.
Companies use E3 and Gamescon to promote their upcoming and recently released content. Nobody would waste their valuable time at E3 to promote something that won't bring them revenue or isn't that popular.
Good reasoning.
I think it will be, I just have a thread of doubt.
It's still very likely they'll announce The Sims 4 though. I'm dying to know what the new major features are and what graphics we'll get.
I actually have no idea what I'm doing. I'm really excited for June. I'll be enrolled in university by then, Island Paradise will come out, I'll have tons of free time and be able to play games again as I used to
That "thing" they released last month is not the real SimCity.
Not necessarily, the PS4 was announced not two months ago on a separate live broadcast. Consoles are just about the biggest announcement you can get!
