EA will be revealing The Sims 4 at Gamescom (a European videogame trade-show) on August 20th, 2013! Today on The Sims Live Broadcast, Lead Concept Artist, Albert Truong, unveiled concept artwork for the new sexier, cooler, more appealing Sims 4 character designs. EA chose to forgo realistic character designs and went for a more stylized, painterly effect that pulls inspiration from animated films and American illustrators. Generally, The Sims 4 applies “stylized realism” over their designs by using exaggerated facial expressions, color, and fashion to effectively communicate the personality behind the character.
The Sims 4 is coming out next year and SimCitizens will now actively cover information up until the game’s release! So stay tuned!
I’m looking forward to Gamescom, and especially now more than ever since Sims 4 will be feature at the event. Hopefully, EA and Maxis will provide gamers with something to be excited about and not the usual non-revealing teaser info. It will be great if they will release a trailer video for the Sims 4 as well.
