The beloved game, The Sims 4, has now been confirmed to be a long-term part of our gaming experience. However, recent news about the multiplayer spin-off, Project Rene, has caused quite a stir among fans. After a recent playtest, screenshots of the game were leaked and fans are not happy with what they see.
Initially, Project Rene was expected to be the highly anticipated The Sims 5. However, plans for the fifth installment have been scrapped. Instead, EA has decided to focus on continuous updates for The Sims 4. But what does this mean for Project Rene? Well, it seems to be transforming into a multiplayer version of The Sims. According to EA, it will be a world where friends can meet, connect, and play together.
Although the concept may sound intriguing, fans are confused about what this all means. More information has been leaked from the playtest, with the art style becoming a hot topic among fans. According to one Reddit user, the playtest focused on a small portion of the game in a Parisian-style café. However, features such as build mode, owning apartments, and creating Sims were not available. The only way to earn money in this build was by working at the café. This repetitive and grindy gameplay did not sit well with fans.
The playtest also revealed that players can earn in-game currency, Simoleons, by completing tasks and interacting with other Sims. Screenshots of the game were also leaked, which showed a mobile version of the game. Fans were not impressed with the graphics, describing them as grainy and with a strange blur. Many even compared it to the graphics of The Sims Mobile, which stopped receiving updates earlier this year.
Despite the early stage of development, fans are already expressing their disappointment with the game's graphical style. Comments like "bland" and "ugly" have been thrown around, with some even comparing it to previous Sims games. It's also been noted that previous Project Rene tests were available on PC, so it's expected to be released on multiple platforms.
Project Rene is just one of the many projects in the works under The Sims "universe." Along with continuous updates for The Sims 4, there are also remastered versions of MySims and MySims Kingdom for the Wii on the way. There's also a mobile spin-off codenamed MySims: Project Stories in development.
Although there is no official release date for Project Rene, it's expected to be a few years before it's ready. Past playtests have shown an open-world environment, so there's a possibility that more progress has been made than what was shown in the recent screenshots. Unfortunately, The Sims 5 is no longer in the works, leaving fans disappointed. But with the continuous updates for The Sims 4 and exciting spin-offs, there's still plenty to look forward to in the world of Sims.
