Default Wild Speculation. The Eyes Have It?
From http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/675024.page:

Q: What do the eyes in the image mean?
A: They say that the eyes are the window into the soul. Let’s just say that these eyes are a window into the future of The Sims 4. Stay tuned for more!



If EA buys Oculus (who are based in based in California, by the way), color me suspicious. A first person Sims game, though? That just seems too foreign. It would be quite a change though.

What do you think EA means by this? Are they just trolling us?

Maybe the LE pre-order will include a free set of Google Glasses hacked to let you overlay TS4 on the real world, so you can finally makeover people in CAS on the subway on your way to work.

Oh. My. God.
Well that's what happens when you're on your own and you're alright at letting nice things go

Oh my God I hope it isn't First person. And if it is, at least make it optional.

No sims game will ever be first person. I'm more concerned about whether or not the hair textures are going to be as shitty as they are in that pic.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Yeah, I doubt it will be first person. "Customize a Sim to look like you...only see their hands and feet."

Going a step further ts4 will be virtual reality and you're the only playable (as yourself).
That was not helpful, funny, or love!

Seriously, what's up with that hair?

One thing EA has never given us is high poly hair. Too demanding on rendering for base game requirements. Perhaps TS4 will have low requirements as well, so yet again we might we stuck with custom hair if we want anything detailed. Still, just like those Flash mockups that I continue to believe are not in any way indicative of the graphics to expect, I wouldn't read very much into any of these early released renders as to what we really should expect the game to look like. I hope.

I'd still expect the hair to get better with time, not worse.

I dunno... if they made it first-person, they would have to change the interface quite a bit, and that would probably alienate too many players. Sure, it could be just an option, but it wouldn't be a very useful option if the interface wasn't designed around it.

Don't worry about the hair guys. Look at the first trailer for Sims 2, and that's a video! This was just a picture.
I think they're just trying to say that they have understood that we need/want genetics, so they're bringing it back and in much more depth than TS2??

This trailer?

That trailer was WAY better than TS2 actually turned out to be. It's better than TS3 turned out to be, too!

I hope EA never ever again does a preview video like that where none of the interactions in the video exist in the game. I remember watching that video when it came out and thinking that's how the game will be, just to find out that the only thing portrait correctly in that video is that sims can sit on a couch.

I thought about the eye hint that if you zoome in close enough, there is some hint in the pupil or something, but no, it's just pixels. Maybe the hint is that they have finished developing the eyes.

Honestly, that TS2 trailer was too misleading. But I hope the kids in TS4 behave like the kids portrayed in that trailer. Actually causing havoc like kids normally do, hehe.

*spews red wine* Literally have tears of laughter going right now.

You give EA too much credit!

Heck, if they can just manage to make a decent game....with minimal issues, they will have achieved greatness. The bar is set quite low right now.

Yes but, but I was talking about graphics, not things you could do in the game.

I agree. I've watched it the other day and I'm still amazed at the graphics and smooth animations and interactions. It would be the perfect Sims game.

That's an encouraging thought.
