The The Sims 4 contest is still going on this week, with the winner to be announced in Episode 471. The crew gets back to discussing news, but as is usual, it’s a light week in July.
This week’s news items include:
- Starcraft Remastered is coming in August in 4K
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot boxes spark pay-to-win fears
- Only main player will progress in Far Cry 5 story
- Destiny 2’s getting rid of random perk rolls for loot and the response is divided
- Nintendo Switch Virtual Console will be the only way you can play certain Super Mario games
Again, The Sims 4 Contest is only eligible for US entrants.

Although I would have thought different, apparently people are clamoring over the “hype generator” tool called Spore Creature Creator. “The best part is that these creatures will be part of the main game, Spore, as user content will populate a lot of the galaxy in each player’s game,” says Falcon at GameStooge.
Will Wright and the team driving the Spore game is right on target to create the hype needed to send this game into the top game seller. If TheSims woke us up to crazy sales figures, Spore might just beat the demand; imagine creating a tool to help create a world for your company and make money while doing it?
The Creature Creator, in my mind is a genius move to get people interested in the main title and drive pre-sales figures through the roof.
