InZOI Is A Strong Competitor Of The Sims
Krafton will launch a The Sims-Like game inZOI in 2025. This game has more detailed modeling and extremely high customization freedom than The Sims, and may become a strong competitor to The Sims series.
In the field of life simulation games, The Sims series is undoubtedly a benchmark that cannot be bypassed. However, due to the lack of competitors, The Sims’ self-innovation and evolution are very slow. With the exposure of the new game inZOI launched by a Korean game company, this field may usher in a new change.
“ZOI” in inZOI comes from a Greek word for life, and inZOI represents enjoying life. Similar to The Sims, players can build a real society of their own in inZOI, and the audiences of the two games are highly overlapping. Therefore, since inZOI was exposed, it has inevitably been compared with The Sims.
Is InZOI A Substitute For The Sims 5?
Since its release, The Sims has been loved by players for its open sandbox gameplay. Players need to control the virtual characters in the game, meet their needs and desires, and plan a perfect life for them. At the same time, players can also freely build houses and arrange home environments through the construction system in the game. The ever-expanding expansion packs and MODs enrich the game content and greatly enhance the playability, making The Sims a favorite of countless simulation enthusiasts.
Compared to the simple style of character modeling in The Sims, inZOI brings players an extremely realistic character modeling experience. The character customization level is very high, including the selection of gender, age group, personality, face shape, hair, clothing, decorations, etc. Players can almost restore their own or others’ appearance one-to-one.
The game can also be linked with mobile phones. Players can scan the QR code in the game through their mobile phones and use the mobile phone camera to make the expressions of the characters in the game consistent with their own expressions. Currently, the only mobile phone that can achieve this function is Apple.
In any case, the life simulation game market has been monopolized by The Sims for a long time. Healthy competition can promote the continuous optimization of competing products on this track, benefiting tens of millions of players.
Customization
In addition to characters, every item in the game can be personalized. This is not just a simple color adjustment, but also supports the direct import of picture materials from the local area, realizing true full customization without complex MOD operations.
Not only that, the game also incorporates AI technology, such as a 3D model generator. Just input the image material, and the game can automatically generate the corresponding AI model.
In order to make modeling more flexible, the game also provides the option of manual modeling. In the decoration mode, just hold down a specific button, and all furniture will ignore the collision volume, creating a wonderful effect beyond the preset.
The game’s customized content is far more than that, even beyond the scope of dressing and furniture decoration. In inZOI, even the city has its own editor. Players can adjust the city’s greening, decoration, the content of the advertising screens of high-rise buildings, and even the small animals and dilapidated degree in the city at will. If you want, you can turn the city into a doomsday wasteland.
If inZOI is only regarded as a home decoration simulator, even in its current unfinished state, its playability is already considerable.
Framework
In the game, players can create a family and add family members; they can choose the location icon on the map to build a residence. The details inside the house are also very rich, including rooms and facilities on different floors. It is completely realistic and can be matched with different filter styles to beautify your residence. On the street, players can interact with various facilities.
However, although the game has a subway for fast transmission, there is no subway system. The behavior of taking the subway will only be transferred by entering the subway entrance and black screen.
At the same time, NPCs can also have emotional relationships such as friendship and love, and even some behaviors of players will affect the work and life of other citizens. All this makes the world of inZOI more real and vivid.
inZOI shows an ambitious framework. The game shows a high degree of detail richness and realism in character customization, game main interface and operation, family and house, scene interaction and exploration, vehicles and transportation, and other functions. This realistic style brings players a more realistic life simulation experience.
