Did anyone catch that part mentioned on the livestream? I’ve seen a few blogs make posts mentioning a new video next week, aka SimsVip. Maybe a new EP trailer?

    It's just a "nostalgia" video made by the game changers, paid by EA to promote the game and say good things about it. Literally all the tweets they showed in the livestream had the "#sponsoredbyEA" hashtag lol.

    There is no detail in what the video is. Though on Twitter The Sims account and gurus had asked “why do you play Sims” and if it’s just a compilation video, I really couldn’t care at all about that. Though seeing as next week we get a new branding update and story in CAS, maybe it’ll be a small video explaining all that.

    I assumed it would be a trailer for the moscino (sp) SP or something to do with the hideous new rebranding.

    I thought it was one of those “ItGetsBetter” type of videos.

    Yup. Although the #ProudtobeSponseredbyEA made me vomit a little.

    It's part of the marketing strategy to attract new players.

    Here we go again. Skipping a maxis monthly, then finally having a stream where they announce some minor CAS update that doesnt change too much or even.. what is needed for players to actually enjoy this game. No, lets make a video of how great The sims 4 is and try to sell more of it. Priorities.. sure.

    Yep I bet that's what it is. I commented to so y'all might see my comment in there.

    Is there yet any evidence that it has sold then TS3?

    I guess that i will have to wait another '3 or 4 years' before they drop TS4 like a stone and say 'yeah, we don't know what went on with that but here is TS5, a real Sims game' :D

    And they LOVE to use this 'most sales' thing as their ultimate award for a game like The sims 4. But hey, quality over quantity.. always! Not to forget that it is also a lot easier in this time era to buy and promote a product. Free social media marketing, game changers and buying is just a few clicks. I don't think these statistics are ever a fair comparison. Just look at your audience and you get your answer :)

    I am sure they will do this when TS5 comes out. Just look at every tell-sell show where they bring down their own previous product now that the new upgraded product has arrived :D

    At this point I'm certain they simply don't care about actually improving the game or adding actual gameplay to it. It's always about another way to do what we already could in the BG now.

    ROFL< right, the truth if it was ever told. :tired_face:

    We know you think emotionz are great in TS4, but hey, look here kids, these are real emotionz you've never seen them like this before, and look, TS5 smarter, these are the smartest Sims ever...oh, and look, an amazing CAS you've never seen this before, and blah, blah, blah.
