Paradox Interactive's streak of game delays continues with the news its Chinese-Room-developed Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is now targeting a release in the "first half of 2025", rather than its previously announced "late 2024" window.

Paradox Interactive's streak of game delays continues with the news its Chinese-Room-developed Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is now targeting a release in the "first half of 2025", rather than its previously announced "late 2024" window.
In a post on its website, Paradox called the delay a "proactive decision" derived from its commitment earlier this year to deliver "high-quality games" to its players. "Though [Bloodlines 2] is in a good enough place that we could have maintained our planned release window," it wrote, "Paradox and The Chinese Room collaboratively decided to prioritise polish."
Paradox says the delay will "create a quality assurance buffer, giving more time between testing and launch, ensuring we release the game when it's ready." More specifically, The Chinese Room will use the time to expand Bloodlines 2's story, providing twice as many endings as its predecessor, and to "adjust certain areas" such as Fabien - the voice in its protagonist's head.
CEO of Paradox Fredrik Wester has admitted the publisher "made the wrong calls in several projects", following the cancellation of its The Sims competitor Life By You.
The game was cancelled back in June, and the internal studio behind the project, Paradox Tectonic, was closed.
Wester commented on Life By You as part of Paradox's latest financial earnings report, stating the cancellation was a "difficult decision... as the game would not be able to meet our expectations."

Paradox Interactive appear from the outside to be a company run by dice roll. That was the case earlier this year when they cancelled Sims competitor Life By You and closed its developers, weeks after it had missed a project release date.
"It is clear that we have made the wrong calls in several projects, especially outside of our core, and this must change," writes CEO Fredrik Wester in an interim financial report, released today.

Following the sudden cancellation of Paradox Interactive's ambitious Sims-like Life by You, the company has confirmed it's closing the internal studio behind the project, Paradox Tectonic.
Paradox Tectonic - the 24-person team overseen by former Sims boss and CEO of Second Life studio Linden Labs, Rod Humble - was unveiled with some fanfare back in 2019. It wasn't last March, however, that its first game, Life By You, was officially revealed.

Paradox Tectonic - the 24-person team overseen by former Sims boss and CEO of Second Life studio Linden Labs, Rod Humble - was unveiled with some fanfare back in 2019. It wasn't last March, however, that its first game, Life By You, was officially revealed.
At the time, it seemed like a solid proposition, promising Sims-like gameplay and ambitious features including an "open game world where everything is customisable" and "real language conversation". Unfortunately, the project quickly ran into trouble, missing its original September 2023 early access launch before getting hit with a succession of further delays.

Lilja went on to explain why the studio ultimately decided to cancel its release, rather than continuing to delay Life by You further. The exec said while "a time extension was an option", it eventually became clear "the road leading to a release that we felt confident about was far too long and uncertain".
Yesterday, we learned that Sims-like Life By You had been canceled, and its developers Paradox Tectonic had been shut down by parent company Paradox Interactive. Later the same day, game designer Willem Delventhal shared more a detailed account of his experience working on the game through to its cancellation, via LinkedIn.

Life By You, the Sims-like management game previously troubled by several delays, has been canceled by Paradox Interactive, and Californian studio Paradox Tectonic have been shut down. The news of the game’s cancellation came last night through a forum post, with Paradox deputy CEO Mattias Lilja painting a picture of a game still too “lacking” for more development time to fix. This morning, it emerged that Paradox Tectonic, the studio working on the game, have been shuttered, via GameWatcher.

Měla to být velká konkurence pro The Sims. Z ambiciózní hry Life by You od Roda Humblea (byl šéfem The Sims a potom Second Life) ale nic nebude. Po několika odkladech byl titul zrušen. Vyzyvatel The Sims měl být původně spuštěn v předběžném přístupu v září loňského roku.
Zrušení hry oznámila společnost Paradox Interactive, pod kterou studio Paradox Tectonic spadá. Podle vyjádření šlo o neuvěřitelné těžké rozhodnutí, avšak hra by nedokázala naplnit jejich očekávání. Verze, se kterou by byli spokojeni, je příliš vzdálená.
„Life by You je ve vývoji již dlouhou dobu a my jsme vždy byli nadšeni potenciálem hry. Vždy jsme doufali, že by se mohla prosadit v tomto žánru, který je pro nás nový a vzrušující. Proto jsme se ji rozhodli dvakrát odložit, abychom dali studiu a hře skutečnou šanci využít potenciál, který jsme v ní viděli. S každým odkladem jsme zaznamenali zlepšení, což nás při zpětném pohledu možná vedlo k tomu, že jsme se místo na celkový obraz zaměřili na detaily,“ vysvětluje Paradox Interactive.
„Před několika týdny jsme se rozhodli odložit vydání předběžného přístupu, abychom Life by You znovu zhodnotili, protože jsme měli pocit, že jí stále chybí některé klíčové vlastnosti. Ačkoli další odklad patřil mezi možnosti, když jsme měli na hru širší pohled, uvědomili jsme si, že cesta k uvedení na trh ve verzi, s kterou bychom si mohli být jistí, je příliš dlouhá a nejistá,“ dodává Paradox s tím, že musí změnit svůj proces při vývoji her. Tady by se měla zmínit budovatelská simulace Cities: Skylines 2, která sice vyšla, ale vůbec nenaplnila očekávání komunity.
Se zrušením hry se uzavírá také studio Tectonic, které v Berkeley v Kalifornii zaměstnávalo 24 lidí. To mi přijde dost málo na vývoj hry, která měla zaměnit žánr simulátorů života.
Life by You vám mělo umožnit stavět domy, navrhovat domácnosti a vyprávět mnoho životních příběhů vašich svěřenců, respektive rodiny. Oproti The Sims měla hra nabídnout rozhovory ve skutečných jazycích, které měly být generovány na základě událostí, které se ve hře měly odehrát. Na dialogy autoři hodně sázeli a chtěli nabídnout i jejich editor, abyste si vše mohli upravit.
Fanouškům simulací života tak zbývá vyhlížet nové The Sims, zajímavě vypadající Paralives a dost ambiciózní INZOI od Kraftonu.
The neighbourhood citizens of Life By You are positioning themselves as bright-eyed pretenders to The Sims. But in this ultimate game of keeping-up-with-the-Jones, the life sim from Paradox has slipped on a wet kitchen tile. The game has been delayed for a third time, and the developers are reluctant to set a new date for the planned release into early access.

Po řadě odkladů jsou vývojáři konečně připravili vydat Life by You v předběžném přístupu na Steamu a Epic Games Store. Early access fáze hry simulující život začne za měsíc.

Life by You připravuje studio Paradox Tectonic, které bylo založeno v roce 2019 a vede ho Ron Humble. To je bývalý šéf The Sims a bývalý generální ředitel Linden Lab, kde vznikl Second Life. Humble za podpory společnosti Paradox Interactive chce hráčům přinést realistickou verzi The Sims s důrazem na volnost.
Budete stavět domy, navrhovat domácnosti a vyprávět mnoho životních příběhů svých svěřenců, respektive rodiny. Do nich se bude možné vžít díky možnosti přepínat kameru do pohledu z třetí osoby. K tomu dopomůžou i rozhovory ve skutečných jazycích, které budou generovány na základě událostí, které se ve hře odehrají. Na dialogy autoři hodně sázejí a chtějí nabídnout i jejich editor, takže si vše můžete upravit.
Už v early access bychom měli dostat ucelený a propracovaný zážitek. Ostatně kvůli tomu byl předešlý odklad. V té době byla rovněž uváděna cena 39,99 eur. Pravděpodobně bude nyní stejná. Za pomoci hráčů se má z Life by You stát nejmodifikovanější a nejotevřenější simulátor života. Jeho cesta započne 4. 6. 2024.
Mezitím v Electronic Arts chystají nové The Sims a jeden nadšenec s fanoušky chystá velice zajímavý titul Paralives.

What are the Life by You system requirements? The Sims has inspired many life simulation games, but Life by You is set to be more than just a cookie-cutter clone of EA's popular franchise.
Many of the best simulation games require fewer graphical resources and ask more of your processor instead, but fear not, you won't need the best gaming CPU to start playing. Creating exciting new virtual worlds in Life by You will be easy, but as an early access game, its system requirements are liable to change. Here's everything we know so far.
Occasionally, new games are released that look like they could tempt players away from their go-to title. An exciting new kid arrives in town and everyone wants to get to know them. In the life simulator world, The Sims has been the big-name title for the past two decades. Will Life By You or Paralives be the bigger Sims killer?
Paralives vs Life By You – Could They Take On The Sims 4?
It takes a lot for a big title to be killed off by a new arrival. Asymmetrical horror game fans debated

Paralives vs Life By You – Could They Take On The Sims 4?
It takes a lot for a big title to be killed off by a new arrival. Asymmetrical horror game fans debated for weeks whether the Texas Chain Saw Massacre game would kill Dead By Daylight. Previous to that it was Video Horror Society (VHS) that made its move into that territory. Neither game was successful in taking on Dead By Daylight. This was mainly due to the huge following DBD had established over the years. So will The Sims 4 survive the arrival of two new life-sim games, Paralives or Life By You?
