Oh my... Paradox want to do Maxis: http://www.incgamers.com/2015/03/paradox-to-release-life-sim-and-take-on-the-sims-next-year

Paradox to release life sim and take on The Sims next year?

Cities: Skylines has trumped the SimCity series and they may be eyeing Sims gamers.

Paradox seemed surprised at the success of Cities: Skylines for some some reason, they really had little to worry about. Now that city building fans have seen what can be done, the question of whether they would tackle a “life sim” and take on the Sims franchise has been raised.

Confidence appears to be high at Paradox because they may be looking to move release a Sims style game in the future. Paradox. VP of Acquisition Shams Jorjani commented on what could possibly be on cards.

“We first talked about taking on the City builder genre 4 years ago.

“We, rightly so, came to the insight that it’s not something one does in one bold stroke. It’s like knocking over a refrigerator – you have to rock it back and forth a few times and then you push it over. It takes time, patience and preparation.

“The Life Sim genre is a very, very big fridge. But it’s sure one we’d like to knock over. Keep an eye out for our 2016 releases for the first push.”

The comments do indicate that something could already in development.

Paradox are doing very well at the moment not only with the success of Cities: Skylines but also publishing Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity. Both titles are currently sitting at the top of the Steam charts which will be a real boost to Paradox.

CK2 is already like The Sims, but a lot more degenerate.

 

[Luka-boy]

They also wanted to take on Syndicate with Cartel, so I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Delterius]

I am looking forward to a Sims game with that paradox touch. Killing people with walls and starvation is all well and good, but some good unfortunate accidents ckii style should be great.

Besides, kicking nu maxis ass should be easy enough.

I always thought the type of life simulator they should make would be a corporate life simulator.
Basically, current day Crusader Kings.

You manage a family clan from the "upper 1%". Despite average stats, everything just falls into place due to all the old money in your "dynasty". Your oldest son has the "Imbecile" trait, but you manage to get him installed in a fortune 500 company because someone from the Golf club owed you a favor. Your daughter drives intoxicated and runs over some child and you have to invest a couple of days worth of income to shut the victim's family up.
Your youngest sun isn't much smarter than your oldest and an alcoholic on top, but you took on a bet with some guy at a dinner party you'd get him to be elected US president, and you never lose a bet dammit!

Could be brilliant social commentary, and just think of the inevitable mod bringing in the names of the real people...

They really, really destroyed Crusader Kings: 2 with that Charlemagne DLC. I mean the game was running close to fine before they let out that pool of bugs, lags, and CTD's. Rajas of India was a stupid DLC from the start, and I heard it really made the game run slower. Just, it never really affected my games too much. The Charlemagne DLC was unplayable.

 

[Soph]

I lost interest in CK2 after Raja's and Charlemagne, would've wanted them to flesh out other parts of the game. The way of life expansion was also highly convoluted and didn't really seem to add anything to the game other than bugging things up with mass seducers.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Their new forums look like crap and I'm not going to create a PARADOX ACCOUNT to use them.

My sentiments exactly. I guess I'll be picking up my paradox news from third-party sources from now on.

 

[Irenaeus]

THey changed their forums?

 

[GarfunkeL]

Yeah and old accounts don't work. You have to jump through hoops to create a new fancy Paradox account and then somehow merge it with your old forum account to get access to modder forums and so on.

 

[Irenaeus]

Well, I guess my connection with paradox is dead for now. Thanks for the info.

 

[Spectacle]

Annoying. Why can't they just have you log in with your Facebook account like any other modern website?

[curry]

[Chaotic_Heretic]

The Best DLC whoring company more like it.

 

[Sranchammer]

Fuck paradox

 

[hivemind]

Don't even want to see them make vicky 3 tbh, they would just ruin it.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

Fuck paradox

oh yes, the world would truly be a much better place if nobody tried to sell us shit like crusader kings, pillars of eternity or cities skylines.

is this honky for real?

 

[Delterius]

About as real as the inevitability of confederate defeat. Which is very.

[Tzaero]

Modders.... they're gonna sell their mod without even consulting Paradox.
