Sims 2-style cut scenes will NOT be in TS4, according to SimGuruSemedi!
“I’ve been browsing though all of your comments while you’ve been scouring GDC presentations for morsels of info. It’s been fun seeing people getting excited over these behind-the-scenes glimpses of the game and the new engine that powers it. I do want to clarify one thing in particular though so that nobody feels misled…
Although Brian (one of our talented engineers) discussed some of our technology called Dynamic Cutscene Sequencing in his talk, cut scenes in the manner that Simmers are familiar with from the days of The Sims 2 are not something we’re planning on including in The Sims 4 at this time." -SimGuruSemedi
