The Sims 4: Console Trailer is PC Footage

Is this false advertising showing a mouse curser in CAS and Build Mode? Will the console version actually use a mouse curser (sounds like a nightmare).

Was this thrown together yesterday because Microsoft leaked it :joy: I feel bad for the marketing team if it was.

    Im just so amused about so many post of Sims 4 coming to Xbox. I dont understand why the fuss, why so many people are upset as so many are happy about it, am I missing something? I know so many friends who want to see what Sims 4 is like but they dont want to play it on PC, even after me trying to convince them to try it, but they prefer to play it on the console. Im glad its coming to console, I have Xbox One and will be pre ordering the Xbox One X. I will try it to see whats its like on Xbox.

    I'm excited for console! But this is a trailer showing the PC game not console footage, but it's called the "console trailer" it just seems pointless

    Yeah I noticed that, I dont why. Maybe they will post one updated with console version. Seem rushed though, they could have done one with game console version.

    I'm guessing the trailer was rushed and used the PC footage because the official announcement wasn't actually supposed to happen until next month (probably at Gamescon) but someone at Microsoft jumped the gun and released the info early. They needed to lean into the curve and took a general Sims 4 trailer they already had lying around (I'm almost positive I've seen this trailer or something very similar to it before) for the teaser rather then rush to put something together using the actual in-game footage. Makes sense that they would prefer to wait until Gamescom to debut actual in-game footage as they'd originally planned to do.

    Terrible trailer. It literally states what you see is all PC footage, so can someone tell me what the point is?

    How can you put this up for pre-order showing a mouse curser in CAS and Build Mode?

    And worse still, if a console port will use an onscreen mouse?

    Was this thrown together yesterday because Microsoft leaked it :joy:

    Im staying hopeful until next month and gamescom where we now know the sims 4 console will be playable.

    Seeing all the new features in the trailer makes me wonder if TS4 will be better received this time. Lots of the complaints of the launch are not true anymore...

    The cursor shape is different in the trailer than our PC version

    Cross platform is a good thing, no?

    The cursor is different because while the footage shown is taken in-game from the PC version the cursor was more then likely added in post production to make it more prominent/easier to see. This is probably their current show-the-game-off general trailer the one they use while promoting the game for industry people and the like.

    No, the cursor is the PC version. The cursor looks like that when you're in CAS and can pull and drag in different directions.

    I was thinking that too. Hahaa. I never understood how any sims game will work on console (I know it's been done before) but I just can't imagine how annoying it is to move around and select things. XD

    I am begging for direct Control. Playing TS on console with a simulated mouse is a nightmare.

    I thought this when it shows the player dragging to reshape a sims face, not sure how it'll work on console. I do hope the console version looks similar if not the same as the PC version mind
  • ModerateOspreyModerateOsprey Posts: 4,875 Member
    Yeah, a simulated mouse would be a no go for for me - though you can plug a mouse and keyboard into a PS4, not sure about an xbox

    Not yet, not fully anyway though you can do some basic stuff with KB & M such as typing in chat etc. but proper KB & M support is coming for the Xbox One. It's strange to me that the Xbox One doesn't already have it seeing as the OS is Windows 10 based. It does still depend on games supporting it though.

    Lmao! My thoughts exactly. You might as well buy the PC aversion twice. You can stream from your PC onto the tv if you wanna play on a couch. I'm so confused by this.
