Will EA launch The Sims 5?

Sims has been on the market for a long period of time, namely from the year 2000, and has since introduced various refreshing features. Even if the company struggled at the beginning, EA and Matrix have launched many DLC packs with a great amount of content. The latest release was Sims 4 in 2014 and people are starting to wonder when the next launch will take place.

EA’s current agenda

More DLC packs for The Sims 4 will come in order to fix some issues such as adding toddlers and implementing additional options regarding jobs, locations, outdoor activities and different paths to take the characters on. Moreover, the company has been focusing on developing “The Sims Mobile” which is a more profitable project than the PC version.

Daniel H., the game designer of “The Sims 4”, announced his departure on Twitter, praising this collaboration and his meetings with the game fans. According to SimsVIP, the mobile team has gained more and more people due to a massive change in employment with EA on LinkedIn profiles. However, it’s not entirely certain if EA wants to improve the Sims 4 and the mobile app or to launch a new game. Shifting to the mobile platform department may or may not affect the postpone the improvement of The Sims 4 or other future releases.

Is The Sims 5 the next step?

EA takes between three and five years to launch a new Sims game – The Sims 2 in 2004, The Sims 3 in 2009 and The Sims 4 in 2014. If the company is sticking to this pattern, the next Sims series is just around the corner. By even having the option to travel into the future in Sims 3, the next Sims game would have to be legendary.

There have been rumours regarding the game announcement even if the company is careful about leaks. It may be released later this year or next year. Maybe EA will launch The Sims 5 after they have added enough content for the current Sims.

Playstation 5 Release Date for 21 is Doubtful

Rumors about launching the next generation of PlayStation in 2018 or 2019 are not true, the product might be released in 2021, unfortunately.

The next generation console will be based on CPU and AMD GPU technology, it will have more RAM and more storage than PS4, that’s easy to predict. To materialize the future PlayStation 5, Sony seems to continue to work with AMD and will opt for an AMD Navi graphics chipset in tandem with an AMD Zen processor. It would also integrate the onboard VR hardware and not put as many components on the VR helmet itself.

The 2021 release is still doubtful

While others suggest that 2019 could be a good year to launch the console, Sony seems to want a release in 2021. Sources point out that this date of 2021 is not entirely fixed, because it is such a big project, and programs can change a lot. Moreover, not even the vast majority of game developers would have been informed about the launch of the future PlayStation 5.

Working on other projects

Studios are currently working on the appearance of PlayStation 4. The chances are therefore very small for the PlayStation 5 to be launched before 2021 as it has to be able to handle some games available.

It’s important to note that Sony will not take out PlayStation 4 now or in the near future, of course. The system is still selling well and there are plenty of exclusive titles for it. If last year 19 million consoles were sold, the forecast for this year is only 16 million units, and the downward trend will most likely continue, but people still buy it.

Regarding the future of the PlayStation 5, it is expected to have a slightly changed design and a hardware that will take the most consuming games.

Pokemon Go 0.105.0 Update with Software Tweaks and Bug Fixes is Now Live

Pokemon Go is one of the most popular mobile games in the world with more than 10 million downloads only on Google Play Store. The mobile game was released back in 2016 and to everyone’s surprise, the game developer managed to keep the content fresh and entertaining over the years. The biggest issue that game developers usually have to deal with is keeping the active player base entertained and the only way to do this is through regular updates.

Pokemon Go 0.105.0 Update

With that being said, Pokemon Go fans should be happy to know that a brand-new update has just been released. The update sports the 0.105.0 version number and it features a handful of software tweaks which improve Pokemon Go’s stability. Not just that, but the update is also packed with bug fixes which make sure that Pokemon Go never crashes in the middle of a play session.

Improved Stability

Even though some Pokemon Go fans might be upset to find out that the new update doesn’t contain any new content or in-game features, the update is still very important. Just imagine how annoying it would be to go out in the park and search for Pokemon only to have the game crash every other minute.

Fortunately, that type of stuff is never going to happen with Pokemon Go because the game developer who is in charge of it keeps releasing monthly updates which improve Pokemon Go’s stability through software tweaks.

Fun Gameplay

Since we are talking about Pokemon Go, we need to mention that this is one of the first mobile games to implement AR (augmented reality) technology. The use of AR makes Pokemon Go super fun to play and this is what gives it an edge over its competitors such as Clash of Clans for example.

Clash of Clans 10.134.18 Update – Improved Stability and Reduced Battery Consumption

Clash of Clans is the type of game that is always going to be mentioned when people are talking about the most popular mobile games ever. Clash of Clans launched back in 2012 and it has been downloaded by more than 43 million people only on Android smartphones ever since. With that in mind, we think it’s safe to assume that Supercell who is the lead developer is under pressure to keep the gameplay fresh and entertaining.

Clash of Clans 10.134.18 Update

Keeping a huge player base of over 43 million happy is not an easy task, but Supercell is somehow managing to do that. The game developer has made it a tradition to release monthly Clash of Clans updates which feature new content that makes the game feel new, even to veteran players. However, that’s not the only thing that Clash of Clans updates contains.

Take for example the latest Clash of Clans 10.134.18 which was recently released. This update is not focused on new features or content and instead it is focused towards making the game more stable. No one likes playing a game that randomly crashes and Supercell is making sure that never happens by releasing software tweaks and bug fixes.

New Software Tweaks and Bug Fixes

As previously mentioned, Supercell puts a high price on the user experience that its game is able to offer and this is where software tweaks and bug fixes come in. Clash of Clans fans should be happy to know that the new 10.134.18 update is packed with various bug fixes that take care of known issues which annoyed fans in the past.

Another important thing that we should mention is that the new update also helps reduce the amount of battery power Clash of Clans requires. This is a great addition since the biggest problem that smartphones have is that their batteries are not big enough.

People aren’t sure about this game because of the decision from October 2017, when EA shuttered Visceral.

Are Visceral Games closed?

Electronic Arts once again takes on the role of the executioner and closes another illustrious software house. This is Visceral Games, the authors of Dead Space who were working on a new adventure game based on the Star Wars franchise.

The announcement comes on the official website of the American company from the hands of Executive Vice President, Patrick Söderlund. The closure of the game development is due to the new corporate strategy that provides for the publication of titles focused on the vision of the game as a service.

Dead Space can be easily lost if it comes a new team. The whole experience changes. The gamers are used with the old versions which are a memory of the old times. This experiment is not a great opportunity for the unprepared workers. Visceral Games should continue to work with the EA and maybe solve the money problem.

Nothing is clear

The game is not developed right now, but nobody cancels it either.

Ian Milham, the Art Directed said that the license of the beloved game costs a lot of money, that’s why the project is still left behind. But, in the future, if someone wants to develop the project and it will come to a new team, the old ideas will be destroyed and that may practically ruin the game.

The bad news is that fans have to wait for the release date some years.
