BOLD Gameplay Reveal (InZoi)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- InZoi, known by some as the K sims game, is certainly taking a different path than the sims 4 or even life by you. This new gameplay preview from the developers shows city features, car crashes and driving, sleepwalking, character customization, reputation, karma, relationships and much more. inZoi is an open world game with an edge of drama and danger- and it's panning out to be one of the most intriguing upcoming simulation games.
I'll discuss my opinions, review the features, and express some concerns I still have for a game that's supposed to launch in 2024.

According to others, despite it not being in official press releases, it will be early access in 2024 not the full launch; this is said to be announced in discord. I was just going off of official; press announcements. Thanks!
I remember seeing a lot on the official discord server that it is early access, I think even by staff’s own words!
@@slayyyyyyyyyyuu it's weird it wouldn't be in their official press releases. Is the discord open? And are we sure it was a dev saying so?Appreciate it! :)
"As early access is planned for late 2024" from the FAQ pinned in the ask a question channel in the official discord.
@@Honeywell. thanks so much, appreciate it!
Early access just makes the most sense, and they are very ambitious with this game. I love it a lot. I’ve always wanted gta + sims kind of game. And also I love the Korean lifestyle look.
YES. bring on the consequences! I love to see this being included in life sim games!
I admit, I'm kinda impressed with the concepts at very least... and honestly I feel like a lot of this really stands out. granted I don't right now have a sufficient computer lol
The more I hear about this game, the more I'm excited for it. This seems like my dream game, except for the unalterable lots.
it is possible the not being able to edit lots was just for that extra early access version- I hope so, anyway. We'll have to see, I suppose
@@SimmerErinfor sure. They add a lot of things it’s clear they want to be different. And the best.
That detail of the wife kissing her husband before he goes to work was really cute. I feel like those kinda details will definitely make the game.
yeah it was nice a detail, and hopefully would happen of course for those with good relationships/ that it's make sense.
Little details can make a difference
From what i seen so far InZoi is one of the only besides LBY that’s bringing what we what to see in a Life Simulation game. From the animations, little details like the karma, nightmares, convertible car animations, fires, accidents etc. The modding and CC community is going to be spectacular, like i really want this game to succeed
it also comes a lot from the developers actually listening to the community and even actively having a discord server where they let people write their ideas, what they want and vote for such concepts freely
Nah, Paralives is still hitting a lot of my hitlist with their feature list. InZoi I am still fairly ambivalent about (it could go either way om game release once I see the playerbase with it). Not being able to edit the world, not just my house, is a big strike against it. And LBY flips between being very user fliendly and overly complex at the same time with every video they post. None of them have yet hit that perfect sweet spot where I am like ‘this is the game’.
I will be fair to Rene and say I just frankly don't know at all enough about it yet to say it isn't bringing some good stuff.
I think paralives has potential but in a very different way.
LBY has some cool features, while I worry a bit about it cohesive identity, performance and genera appeal. I'd love to see things improve
InZoi def has some cool features on paper, while there may be some concerns in terms of depth and overall reach
I could make a whole video essay about my feelings so I'll leave it here: I suppose they all have potential, but I am unsure right now how I'm feeling about each entirely
@@TheDawnofVanlife yeah, I think they have both some bright spots... but I also think every one of them is missing something that's hard to even describe or pin point
@@Melyar942 Right it's nice to see especially since LBY drama going on where some people's criticism are being silenced, also Rocio recent reply on the bad anatomy is very concerning too
“This mysterious object called cars…” I laughed out loud at the shade thrown. The Sims 3 remembers these mythical object. I’m excited by the consequences, and level of detail. I hope they keep Korean nuances in it, as I’d like different perspectives in simulation games.
Love your videos Erin.
Edit: I wonder if karma is similar in concept to the concept of Face. That everything you do publicly doesn’t just impact you, but your parents and children, everyone. Maybe we might have to save face in the game.
😆 I couldn't help myself, it's a habit.
yeah, I hope that each world also of course has a unique feel to it. It'd be cool to see unique nuances for the culture.
Thank you, that's very kind.
Yes! I mean, Karma at least sounds like that/ I was surprised by the addition and think it's a rather thoughtful potentially quite compelling feature.
The Sims 1 and 2 had these mythical objects as well and not as decor or set dressing. Ownable or not and even Simply the carpool (Sims 1), Sims 4 is literally the only game n the entire series where Sims magically teleport outside their door instead of getting in a car or bus to get where they are going, loading screen or not.
YES they currently have 2 worlds and are working are more worlds but I would really like to see the other Zoi reflect the worlds they're in. Like since Dowon is inspired by Korea they should keep Korean nuances in that world and since Bliss Bay is a replica of LA, we should see more diverse Zoi there with American nuances
About the car features. As a person who really enjoyed the more mundane elements of grand theft auto this actually appeals to me quite a bit
good! I do appreciate the attention to detail with them- the animations, car washes and so forth. Little things like that can add a sense of immersion, too
Wasn't too impressed by InZoi when I first heard about it, that's changed a lot for me since then. Probably fair to say this is the life sim I'm now the most excited about because the developers are really taking the whole genre in a different direction from the others. Car crashes, sleep walking, the ability to set the crime and fire safety ratings of your city. All pretty original. Love Hyungjun Kim's sense of humour too, and wonder what else he has up his sleeve.
Kim has such charisma, and def. is fun to watch! He def seems at least passionate about what he is doing, and that does make me warm up to the project a bit
i’ve been so on and off about inzoi. sometimes i love it other times i’m super unsure. however each video with their developer makes me warm up to it more and more, he just seems so genuine. if it wasn’t for the ai i reckon i’d be 99% all in by now
what i will say is their team seems very large, they seem to have a lot of artists/animators. i do think once a lot of stuff is coded in, adding things like new group activities will pretty much just require new animations and maybe some new models. with the size of the team i can see them knocking that out easily. i do think they work fast
Yeah... I feel very strange about the project. The developer no doubt has tons of charisma and a great camera presence, I certainly cannot deny that!
It is hard to say: I keep trying to find more info about their team, but have limited info. Still, it is a notable well known studio so I'd presume they'd have a sizable team.
I believe they use motion capture actors for a lot of the character animations
Inzoi is going to be bonkers and I’m all in for it! 🌈
I recall seeing that InZoi was releasing into early access this year, not having a full release.
Where did you see that? They had a company report this year and it said "releasing this year" . If you do know, please let me know. Thanks !
@@SimmerErin I will try to find the original source, however if you are part of the official InZoi discord, mods have confirmed a few times that InZoi will be releasing into early access near the end of the year.
(Also this has been confirmed by Suri, the community manager from the most recent reveal that you were discussing in this video, as she is active in the discord server)
@@SimmerErin it will release by EA, i read it too!
Edit: I didn't have access to the discord server, but it appears you are correct. I apologise- as it never said this in any of their press releases.
@@SimmerErin No apology necessary :) but I imagine this would explain a bit about the current state of the game.
These features will attract a MUCH wider audience. People who would never ordinarily play life sim, let alone a dolls house like The Sims 4, will play this. No only because there is ACTUAL gameplay, but because there are things like car crashes, negative interactions (I'm sure there will be THOSE players who set everything on max just to see how many slaps and fights and car crashes and fires etc they can get into). This will attract a MUCH, MUCH wider audience than The Sims ever hoped to attract.
And the developer is an experienced role playing game dev. This looks like being MORE than just a life sim - it will also be part role playing game - progressive reputation, accidents. That's why these things are being added. This game will attract role playing game players.
I reckon that there could be a great cross-over of roleplaying games and life sim. Roleplaying games with life sim elements would become much freer to play, much less linear. Life Sim games would become much richer in gameplay with the things the player does becoming much more important, affecting gameplay much more and each character progresses. I suspect that InZoi will have a MASSIVE impact on the both the life sim and the roleplaying market for this reason... This might even end up a newish mix of genre, similar to how city builders and fighting games have become mixed.
I'm not sure., I think the audience will be shifted and maybe ? pick up some GTA etc fans, and leave behind some to many in the sims community too,
there are a lot of factors to consider: for one, we don't know how complex or deep the gameplay or personalities actually are. There is no doubt the features sound compelling to me- but the early access demos demonstrated a rather lackluster actual gameplay. However it's all very early yet- so it's hard to know
@@SimmerErin For The Sims community perhaps, but I'm not talking about only The Sims community - The Sims community is pretty tiny compared to gaming communities in general. I mean real gamers in general will be much more attracted to this game for these types of features. Simmers seem to live in a bubble, forgetting that there is a massive gaming community out there, forgetting that they really are a very tiny game population in general, and assume that they will be the only ones interested, lol!! These games will likely attract people from the general gaming community if they are good. Not only Simmers.
No we don't know much about the personality systems yet, any more than we really know about personality systems from the other games. They haven't really addressed that aspect of the game yet. But as it stands EVEN NOW the personality system is looking AT LEAST as good as The Sims 4. The Sims 4 is pretty incredibly poor, so it's not going to be difficult for even the most basic Alpha standard game system to be as good. I expect other games to be much better, this one included.
Inzoi is giving a lot of unexpected things along side what is expected for ALL Life simulations in the near future. Some are essentials, others are fun to have.
I do wonder how often a traffic accident or sleepwalking occur in a single gameplay session, I can sense the other game EA made will crank up this quirk up to the wazoo and made the save file unplayable.
If traffic accidents were as rare as, say a meteor strike or even an alien abduction in Sims 3, and sleepwalking only happened with characters who have a certain combination of traits, I think it would be fine, but I don't want to see half or even 10% of the population sleepwalking at any given time, and I don't want to be hit by a car every other day. ☺
I think a lot of the features are certainly compelling
I do think scaling... and getting balance.. will be important
EA certainly is not alone in making things hard to play, I'm afraid. Many companies have gotten backlash in recent years
@@SimmerErin If they can scale the number of crimes and fires in the city settings I think they could scale the frequency of traffic accidents as well I think.
I hope to god that this game has some good black hairstyles at launch, Sims 4 took a decade for that
its a korean game so don't get your hopes up 😭 imma have low expectations
It appears they have made incremental improvements- but hopefully they will use early access to get some feedback
@@oddateliers They can just google some pictures, hopefully they don’t add that stupid killmonger cut every black character has been getting lately
@@zorn2425 i know, it is as simple as that but even EA barely does that which is embarrassing since its a literal life simulation game meanwhile fortnite is really damn good at making various types of characters from other cultures and even species. i just have low expectations for any good black hairstyles, especially at launch but we'll see later on.
@@zorn2425Too late, I already seen it....SMH!!!!
I do feel like this is a checkmate attempt on everyone else and a big sell to Simmera who have been begging for the return of cars. I personally am not big on dying from car crashes, but I still think this is impressive. Looks like one of the most indepth car addons to a lifesim. How indepth the rest is, still to be seen.
I hope characters can just self navigate if they want to a location without me 'driving'. I would just want the option if I ever got the game.
You already know it, it’s either do it big or go home!
dying from car crashes- def is not my top pick, but I do also agree all of this is impressive, and I appreciate they are adding things to make it stand apart in its own right. I also agree that the features can sound impressive and may or may not be implemented well or have depth
And yes... I am keen to see how well character autonomy in general is handled
Hi!! If you're in the Discord, we have a FAQ posted and multiple mentions from Community Manager, Suri, stating "Early Access is expected to be late 2024". I can't provide a screenshot here, but we most definitely have confirmation of EA in 2024.
thanks for the information. I saw in press releases only "releasing in 2024" without the early access term. Is the discord open?
Definitely most excited for this game than the others!
would love to learn what you are most excited for, and how this game appeals to you most. I am always curious to hear where people are coming from
I think occults like vampires / elf / demon / angel / kijin / witch / beast man will help the game popularity a lot
Actually, I'd rather see vampires than cars. Then again, I'm an European, cars are just a means to get from A to B for me, I'd rather have a proper public transport system.
I have a feeling they may not add any supernatural gameplay... but I def could be wrong
@@p.bckman2997 its less about the cars for me and more about there actually being a travel system. Like they already have confirmed subways so you don’t have to own a car just because cars exist. And in the early review copies, they already had traffic going. To have that exist and deny players the option of owning a drivable car would have put them on par with Aims 4 and behind every other life sim coming out, all of which have ownable drivable cars confirmed for launch.
Also having the choice to own a car is a win for the game. And I want more than cars long term, I want vespas, skateboards, bikes, public buses. The thing is once your game is actually routed from the beginning for street travel, you can build on that. Its why Sims 2 implemented ownable cars smoothly, the means to do it was already in the base. Sims were already using cars for travel in the game, it was just the carpool and service sims, but the the pathing and means was there. The ownable bit just literally connected to a system already in the game.
As for occults, programing usable cars have nothing to do with Vampires or any other occult in the long game as they are a build on humans. And this was true for Sims as well, all of them. You usually need to get the normal people going first before you figure out how to introduce and implement occult variants to that. As its a build on the base human model so you need to get that system out to people first and make sure it works in all the expected ways.
@@SimmerErin Well, they added sleep-walking...it's not beyond the realms of possibility....🤔
@@TheDawnofVanlife , considdering the importance cars play in American culture, not having them would be a stupid move by the developers. Sims 4 (the logical comparison) have no transport system at all. There's a couple of mods that will allow players to have cars, but a built in system where you actually pay a fee or gas/electricity to travel would have been a lot better.
I'll admit I was skeptical of Inzoi at first. The more I see the more I like it. Hoping all of the new life sims are great so The Sims monopoly can die bc EA's gotten a little too greedy and lazy IMO.
I like the idea of crime and car crashes. Implementation of car crashes will be key as if it happens to rarely it's a nonfactor, but if it happens all the time it will be annoying.
I think it'll be good to have new options and hopefully provide more player choice and innovation. My hope is to expand and enriched the genre, even if it's not one perfect game.
Yes, exactly. I think some of these ideas are pretty compelling, but how frequently they happen and how they happen/ what causes them is the key as to whether or not they are enjoyable
It is a good thing that each life stimulation game is bringing something new to its game. Personally, I don't need a realistic game to play, because the real world is crazy enough. I just want a functional and relaxing game to play!
definitely understand that, too! Is there a game that you're currently looking forward to? I have a feeling Paralives is going to have a relaxed vibe
@@SimmerErinLBY is definitely one, and Paralives is the other one for its charm.
this is confirmed to me more and more that my computer may not be able to handle this 😂
ha no I get that. My current laptop could not
The main thing I’m going to need to find out before I play is how the monetization works and feels. It looks like a lot of fun if they don’t make me feel farmed for money
oh absolutely. They still haven't disclosed that to my knowledge
ok there's one thing that keeps standing out to me that i never see anyone talking about, and its making me feel like im in some sort of matrix situation where im the only one who notices it lol. every single gameplay trailer or clip for this game i have seen so far has had very choppy frame rates. now i dont know if thats just a symptom of how they captured the footage or what, but why havent i seen anyone else talking about how the gameplay in basically every trailer looks like its getting under 20fps? having a beautiful, realistic looking game doesnt mean a lot to me if the game is playing at 10fps on the high end.
I did slow it down in some places, so that could be part of it. It isn;t perfectly smooth that is true. I tend to not be particular unless it's glaringly bad- but I guess I;m used to lower frame rates ha. I do know they are purportedly still working on optimization, and tbh I do expect it's going to take a hefty computer for super smooth performance.
it is a very demanding game I have no doubts about that. frame rates aside, performance will be something that may be of concern. I also feel still given all that they are still working on,.. idk about a 2024 release
@@SimmerErin yeah but its not just on your channel, ive noticed the choppy frame rates on their gamplay trailers on every simmers video ive watched. im also not one of those people who needs everything to be 60fps all the time, im fine with lower frame rates, but the frame rates in inzoi's trailers is giving me the sims 4 when its lagging badly, and i find it very hard to just overlook it when its that low of an fps. but as for the whole 2024 release, didnt they say a lot of the game is being made by ai generation or something? i imagine thats pretty fast and then the rest is optimizing what the ai made? or maybe they are going to do a life by you early access style release? in either case im a console gamer so this game isnt going to be available for me whether i want it or not lol.
@@Bridenbrad apparently they clarified in discord it'll just be early access in 2024, thank goodness if so. But yes, AI generation will speed that process up.. still would have been of concern given how much they appear to still be working on.
They will fix it before release of the game. It’s in Unreal Engine and it’s a very GPU intensive engine but with nanite optimization will be easy to implement when the game is complete
I trust them to fix it considering PUBG runs great
Loving the driving aspect!! So cool!!
Thanks for covering! I do hope there’s options to determine how often traffic accidents happen and whose sleep walking. I would’ve liked them to have shown how to set the frequency etc.
definitely. I think a lot of this is cool in concept but I also can see how, if it's not scaled properly. it could get out of hand and also impact performance. Ideal would be having scales for most of these things
Loved the video, Erin! I mean, I love all your videos lol ❤ Anyway, I am really starting to love InZoi! I am still a little bit divided if I like the graphics being that realistic or not, also I would love to see more of others life stages, such as teens and elders!
thanks for making me smile, appreciate the kind comment!
yeah, I get that! I don't know even how I feel about them ha. I think it also just takes me generally a while to get used to any graphics I am not used to. I do think they feel cohesive and have an identity that works with the game. Performance wise it'll be interesting to see. It's cool they have shown some kids, but def. keen to see vicarious life stages and also learn more about them. I hope there is some nuance to different life stages, too. The fact that they added the passing down karma makes me think there prob will be some neat details
In part of the video, there was a fat Zoi, so there will be differences in body types. I think bc it’s a Korean game and Korea has strict beauty standards, they just aren’t showing it much to appeal to their main audience.
I was mostly looking at the character creator, so I def will take a look again at the footage more carefully
and yes... I do anticipate there may be less body diversity. however there should I more I'd argue especially since, with the addition of an American word, I do think the US and other countries are strong secondary audience s
and of course, people living in Korea have different body types, shapes and sizes too
When I was still working on my own life simulator, I had planned car crashes as that games stove fires (something to happen with low skill, but not with high).
Having said that, there is a limit to how much detail I want to deal with in a game, and also not a fan of random events producing too harsh a result.
yeah, and I think most people might have a limit- albeit at different levels. A scaling option would ve great, but I mostly hope it's not too overdone
For me relationship success must be determined by traits not an arbitrary meter in my opinion affecting success rate but I suppose it's ok to find both options with global options there. I want to see more fleshed out about traits-first gameplay. It'll be interesting how world settings trickle down to affect individual personalities without it feeling arbitrary and completely opposite to individual personalities and how they should be expressed. We haven't seen that in a game before and I hope Inzoi does it well. Sims 2 and 3 did trait based gameplay well and in depth.
agree... the success meter is cool in a way, but I hope it's not just an arbitrary stand alone features which so far it appears to be?
I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those a mile wide an inch deep sorta games. idk what there is to want about this game that isn't already done by sims
it certainly is possible. My biggest concern would be the experiences of the very early access. English Simmer in particular highlighted a lack of depth. It's hard to say.. given they are still developing. The features are def sound pretty cool to me on paper, but I am not sure about key things such as character personality and relationships
@Simmer Erin what content would you like to see in the character editor in InZOI ?
that's good question. I suppose it depends on if you're asking about aesthetics or deeper things- like personality selection and such?
@@SimmerErin Yes, I would like to know what content you would like to see for the personality of the Zois in the charactereditor ?
@@Rou99995 that's really hard, because I have an ideal personality system in mind for games in general, but I also feel strongly every game has to do something differently and of course in a way that fits the game's development and ethos. I may discuss this more in a video, cause unfortunately I don't have one simple answer!
@@SimmerErin Awww that's interesting I can't wait to see your video with your thoughts regarding the personality system !
We need full body control for the big people and lot modifications but i think they got everything besides that. Earthquakes,lighting, and tornados would be a good add on but i think modders will help perfect this game just make a cc box for us 👌🏽
I like the traffic accident aspect but not the manual driving part. I could imagine I would creep slowly to where I want to go lol.
Yeah I feel that. I don't mind the option of manually driving at all for people but it'd be a huge struggle for me. I kinda wish there was a way to automate it to if there isn't
Woah! Awesome! Consequences!
I really like them adding karma to the game and I like how it will be passed down, hopefully It has a big impact. I would like to see karma affect stuff like if you get a job or not or if it’s harder for you to build relationships.
yeah it definitely at least makes me curious. The concept is interesting, but it's unclear what it does functionally in the game
Since LBY said there won't be apartments I guess I'll have to start looking at this game
This game have apartments?? Omg
true. an advantage for LBY so far is that you can fully edit the world though, I must say
i can't wait to inzoi to release, i just hope they optimize it well because with all that details the performance could really drop, i have a really good pc and i am still worried if would be able to run this game
for sure. I do know they have directly stated they are working on optimization. now, I do anticipate it's still going to require on the higher side of specs though- you've got a fully open world and rather demanding graphics, plus environmental elements
Not my thing. I'm glad to see what they're doing, even if I don't plan on using it.
yep definitely fair ! what upcoming sims like game are you right now most interested in?
@@SimmerErin I haven't seen anything yet that interests me. I'm sticking with TS4 and Minecraft.
I think I'd never buy a PC that's gonna run this game smoothly, this is a fortune that I do not have got
I wanted cars in Sims 4 to drive in scenic locals. Like on a coastal highway, mountain valleys. Not so much city driving - that is a pain in my posterior in RL. But resurrecting an avatar through reversing the timeline... Hmm. I don't think you can have a multiplayer experience if one person in the group goes puff into the past to resurrect. Two hours of interactive play goes puff, too. If not the person would have to be thrown out of the group. Most players would be pissed. The family reputation thing effecting a family line, is an Asian thought and does exist. Still same as in all small towns now. There is always "that" family. Another thing, Sims 4 and all Successful Simulations require one thing - building. Building is a time consuming thing and keeps you in the game until some new DLC drops by. So if it doesn't have that kind of building opportunity then it may be nothing more than a short lived MMO type game. The game with all these elements would still be a Cloud experience, I expect, in one form or another. Since Clouds games allow you to control and force monthly fees. TY for the update, Erin! 🤟🖖
I don't think this game has ever indicated a mp element, and tbh, if there is not one, the way this is designed, I feel that may be for the better
yes, building I know they have shown designing interiors of homes, but so far, it still appears - as said earlier- that one cannot construct community lots, which would be a shame
At first, seeing Inzoi for the first time based purely on the graphics I was thrilled and excited "I can't wait to play Inzoi!"
but that died down when I looked at the gameplay and all of that and it looks pretty boring. "Mainly job" focused, etc. Just seemed like it was more focused on looks then gameplay and having a fun experience. So I've been rooting for and waiting for Life by you instead. I do love the AI feature of the game. I am curious about the whole "crime and chaos" level of the game.
That being said, damn....I might have to get this game along with Life by you. Still skeptical, I'm also skeptical of Life by you, but just like Life by you, Inzoi does look like it's coming along.
They really need to focus on the character creation and clothing, etc.
I think a lot of people were originally either drawn by or torn off by the graphics, and I get that. I think graphics are your first impression then you kinda learn more about the game.
As far as it being boring, I do think elements like reputation crime etc have tons of potential. But I do not know much about things gameplay wise beyond careers. One thing that's been super interesting seeing all these new sims like games is thinking how much goes into such a game to give it an interesting or wow factor. None of them are flawless... and I see drawbacks and questions but of Course some potential for most too
I feel skeptical of most of them now, I'd say, but all for oddly different reasons
I'm actually really excited for InZoi.
cool, what excites you most
@@SimmerErin tbh I'm not even sure but the videos I've seen about the game just have me intrigued. i think maybe it's visiting a simulation game from the perspective of another culture?
the early acess is gonna be for evryone or the devs are gonna choose the players?
they already gave early access demos to people last year. I am not sure what their future plans are, sorry
Honestly, most of this actually makes me more interested in InZoi. Paralives and LbY are still holding my interests more but this might be as close to a GTA/Sims crossover type game that I'll get in some aspects.
I'm kinda with you, I have some hesitations but I'm more intrigued now than I was before. The characters are what's really going to sell me on any life sim game.
yeah, I have to admit these features made me feel far more interested, but a lot of discomfort remains. And yes, features sound interesting. but character personality and autonomy are key
I still think we will get more vehicle options before the Sims 4 life is over lol
certainly possible, not sure in what form
Did you notice anything about same-sex marriage? Satch mentioned it. It does look great. I like the idea of dreams/sleepwaking/fortunes and car crashes. I don't want to drive eiether, i think it'll be ai driving like in Sims3 with a small chance of accident. I wonder if it's just too uncanny for me tho.
have not heard anything confirmed, I'm very sorry. Have not seen anything about your first q
dreams and even the karma element are honestly so intriguing!! I could see it not being scaled properly but the concept is fascinating
driving is cool attention to detail but I also don't want to worry about it involving me well being able to drive well lol
i saw the same sex marriage thingy, the person who asked actually made a video about it, cuz they gave such a… weird answer. the “equivalent” of straight marriage will be added for same sex couples, (mad paraphrasing except the quote) but i don’t think it was in the game during the play test
It was actually NotMalcom, not Satch, who was in the invite-only discord server, asked about gay marriage, and got immediately kicked out.
@@cryingwatercolours8127 hmmm.. so like not a marriage but a union or something?
@@TheDawnofVanlife interesting, can we confirm they got kicked out for that
Is this single player? The mods for this are going to be CRAZY!
as far as I know, yes, have never heard them discuss mp
With the expected release date being sometime this year and all the new features presented, I am worried they’re taking on more than they can chew. Cars, karma, and everything else discussed in this video is cool, but those things can be added later on. I’d rather they refine what they presented early on. The lag in the gameplay is very concerning.
I was too, cause in all press releases they said simply release. But now it's been clarified that purportedly they announced in their discord server they actually plan for an early access this year. If so, that makes me at least less concerned for their sake, cause it's clear they are still working on a lot of things
A Karma and Reputation system that sounds a little bit like Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas
will have to look Into that!
Without any news from EA, InZoi is leading the pack of people simulators that I am interested in.
To be frank, I'm cool with EA taking its time- I feel a lot of sims 4's issues are in part from poor planning then rushing it out after switching directions.
wonderful video friend
thank you
@@SimmerErin yqw friend
WHEN release date of InZoi ?
don't know an exact date, yet. just that they keep saying this year- for early access, apparently
Only the early access is planned for this year
@@SimmerErinit is only the early accès that is planned this year not the full game
@@emma-hx5wo when full game?
@@monstersuxxio95 not announced yet

WOW, amazing !!!
what impresses you most
@@SimmerErin All :)
I'm hoping we can make couples in the Zoi Maker eg married,boy/girlfriends etc.
yeah, would like to see a bit more in the character creation regarding traits, relationships and so forth
This could be the Sims killer, unless they make some huge mistake (like high system requirements or an expensive subscription). I don't know how much of their audience EA needs to lose to take their ball and go home, but probably not that much based on how they terminated the Sim City franchise, the original backbone of Maxis. If InZoi takes 30% of the market and the others take 5-10% each, I expect EA to fire everyone working on the Sims and never mention the lifesim genre again. It wasn't like nobody bought SimCity, I had it in my EA app and could play it, but EA just stopped caring. It could happen again! Remember, development costs are the same whether you have 100% of the market or 60%, but the net profit is vastly different.
so far, this hasn't been confirmed for console (or mobile) then you have to factor in the likely dramatic difference in spec requirements. many will also be split on the graphics style; finally, I have already seen many turned off by things like crime, car crashes etc. And there is likely not be any supernatural or fantasy gameplay- and it also may not be whimsical. So while undoubtedly I do think it'll impact the market, I don't think it's a "Sims Killer"
if sims dies off, it'd be by its own choices- imho
Hoenstly, the game feels like it's a complete and utter mess in terms of its development. I've seen a lot of games go through similar development cycles of the devs using very choreographed videos to market the game, and then create a whole bunch of features, make a ton of promises and lack a complete sense of "wholeness" to the game - having little to no actual direction. This game will come out in a messy, unplayable state and then the devs will keep making promises about fixing it. The worst case scenario is that this is a similar situation as that one Zombie/Survival game that came out and was a complete scam.
Ps5?
only PC is confirmed for now to my knowledge . though they talked about a possibility of eventually releasing on console.
The whole idea of crime and car crashes like that is really bizarre to me. They must really want like a more realistic with all its consequences kind of thing or something. The crime might be kind of cool if you wanted to play a evil person and such but it does feel kind of out of place somewhat idk.
I'm not sure how far it'll go- it doesn't seem they will have something like k- someone, but it does entail stealing and such. I think they are trying to go for a unique selling appeal to distinguish themselves- not to GTA but also more 'mature' than Paralives and likely the sims - presuming they feel this also goes along with their general art direction
now you can adjust crime levels, so I presume there is a low level or non existent
As long as you can adjust the crime levels, I actually like the idea of it. Especially if you can set safe and not-so-safe neighbors.
@@TheDawnofVanlife agreed, if you could not adjust it idk, but being able to adjust is is pretty awesome. The concept anyway
I feel the car crashes is reminiscent of Korean movies and car crashes, it a running joke... lot of Korean characters are killed by cars
Uh oh Koreans and Krafton are making car crashes and accidents too close for my comfort. My family has gotten into some rough close calls in the past and my brother lost a godfather in a freak accident in a mountainous province years ago. It can be a bit triggering for me. This is very terrifying.
Every video they show of the game running, it looks awful, the jitteriness and low frame rate, the poor performance that is still being shown is what will keep me from playing InZoi, even Life By You looks a lot better in the performance aspect. If the game doesn't perform well, then I won't waste my time with it.
Cool and etc, but I still haven't seen any same sex mention, interaction or even promotion...
Sorry, I don't know anything about relations beyond what they have said in the few videos they have posted. I def will keep looking, though!
I will stick with the Sims 😊
perfectly fine!
I can see why others find the consequences mentioned appealing. They certainly are very interesting aspects to a life sim. However, I hope they will include toggles to turn some of them off. I was just in a car accident in real life four months ago. While thankfully not serious, it was still traumatic and I don't want to relive that experience in a game.
I hope you're doing alright ♥. I know you can tune crime as you like it, but indeed I don't know if that's the case for car accidents or not. I do think toggle options would be best
To be honest, it isn't gameplay what they have showed to us int latest interview. It is just bunch of animations. Some we have seen already in the past.
It looks cool and all that.
But the gameplay would be, if we see the actual playable loop. Like get up morning, go to work, go to gim, go dating, go eat, go to bed, etc.
I personally stay heavily reserved on Inzoi, specially they aim on Early Access late this year. And gameplay has not been something they have really shown yet to us, or focused on.
Performance at this point is also concerning to be honest. From recent job listings, I don't see them focusing much on performance. They need solid core Unreal5 C++ developers, to bring the performance up to pair.
Also, it is a shame, they focus so much on American towns. All tv is showing mostly these. Many games showing these. It is boring.
Korean has great opportunity to market and show their culture through a game. Basically wasting it.
The Witcher series executed this very well. No any westernization was needed.
This exotic appeal of Korean culture is just diluted, in the game development direction, in emphases to the western world. It is really a shame.
