2 Player Co-Op Podcast

The Game Awards have come and gone, and Geoff Keighley delivered on giving gamers around the world a very satisfying show. From extended acceptance speeches, to game reveals from industry legends, and everything in-between, the show had something for everyone. The guys run through all the announcements, winners, and their predictions results on this super-sized episode! Oh, Sean also has issues wi...

For the first time in over a month, the boys are in the same room to record! They both talk through their cruise experiences over the past couple of weeks, before getting down to brass tacks. Sean got the Platinum in GOW Ragnarok, and Kevin beat it the day before recording, so they were both able to give their spoiler-free thoughts on what is easily one of the best games of the past few years. Sea...

After a week off while Kevin was cruising around the Caribbean, we're back! James Soler guest stars with Kevin this week, as now Sean is cruising around the Caribbean. Even though we are all sick of talking about it, some interesting new news has surfaced related to the pending Activision acquisition by Microsoft. The FTC may be filing an anti-trust lawsuit, Sony says that Xbox wants to turn them...

After a seemingly endless wait, Ragnarok is here! Both of the guys give their spoiler-free thoughts on the game so far and, spoiler alert, it is freaking awesome! Sean also beat Dragon Quest 11, Kojima has FINALLY spoken out on Abandoned and Blue Box, NPD results for October are in, and the guys also pay respect to Kevin Conroy.   Start - 00:00 Housekeeping - 00:10 Schedule Update - 2:40 RIP...

After many months of rumors and speculation, Sony finally revealed that the PSVR 2 will be releasing in February 2023 and will cost a whopping $550... Sean is still in day 1, but Kevin is starting to waver. They go into all their thoughts on the price of the headset, the fact that it costs more than the PS5, and other thoughts on the device and launch lineup. More fuel was added to the fire of Vir...

After so many rumors over the past year or so, Konami finally pulled back the curtain and revealed that Silent Hill is coming back! (Still no Silent Hills tho...) Three new games, a Silent Hill movie reboot, as well as the much anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2 were all announced. The guys are excited, but Kevin (of course) is more excited for what this probably means for another Konami series t...

Google Stadia is officially dead. It took a lot longer than most thought, but the streaming only service is dead as of January next year. To pour dirt on the grave, it was also revealed that Kojima had a planned Death Stranding follow-up planned for Stadia, that was canned by Phil Harrison. We also found out that the Splinter Cell Remake is supposedly changing the story to adapt to modern times. O...

What could potentially be the biggest leak ever in gaming history, happened over the past week. Leaked footage of GTA 6 spread across the interwebs, and every social media platform you can imagine. This is horrible for Rockstar and Take 2, but outside of that, the guys agree it is pretty cool to see a game of this magnitude in the early stages of development (footage was apparently from 2019), and...

Since E3 is essentially dead, there are some random weeks in September where you end up having 3 different online presentations of upcoming games. Nintendo held a much rumored Direct, PlayStation held a State of Play (instead of a Showcase like everyone hoped), and Ubisoft held their Ubisoft Forward event. Out of all of that we got a release date, and a name, for Breath of the Wild's sequel, an aw...

One of the most controversial remakes/remasters/re-releases is finally out in the wild. The Last Of Us Part 1 is built from the ground up for PS5, but is it worth the full price of $70? The guys have both spent a few hours with it so far, and give their thoughts so far on this newest version of one of the best games ever made. Last week also saw the release of the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, includ...

Gamescom 2022 is in the books, with the biggest news coming from, of course, Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live stream. With a healthy mix of world premieres and new looks at already announced games, the show had something for everyone. With that being said, it did suffer from the same issues that Summer Game Fest had with commercials and bloat that dragged down the presentation as a whole. Never...

Blossom Tales 2 has been released, 5 years after the first Zelda-like, and it was one of the few remaining games of 2022 that the guys were looking forward to. Kevin has beaten it, and Sean is near the end, so they give their full thoughts on the game. On the news side of things, Embracer's acquisitions just keep on coming. This time they acquired the Tolkien-verse, along with Limited Run Games an...

More details emerged this past week on documents submitted by both Microsoft and Sony in Brazil in response to the potential acquisition of Activision. If you thought the Console Wars were dead, they are alive and well between these two companies. There was a lot of finger pointing, but aren't both companies accusing each other of the same thing? And aren't they both right? Take Two also revealed...

The dog days of summer roll on, and the news in the video game world continues to be slow to say the least. Nevertheless, your favorite brotherly podcast is here to cover what there is! Square Enix issued a DMCA notice to Patreon to force Sacred Symbols to take down their reading of a leaked script for the next Tomb Raider, essentially confirm it's authenticity in the process. THQ was also reveale...

Two reports from Bloomberg set the stage for this week's episode, as they leaked details around GTA 6, as well as the unfortunate report that the KOTOR Remake is in serious trouble. The guys cover the GTA 6 leaks first, as we found out the reported setting of the game, protagonist details, as well as the plans to expand the game and map in the future. All of this sounds great, but could the report...

It's been a while since we brought out the Multi-Tap for a podcast, so this week we are joined by two of our friends in James Soler and Derek Bamford! The Last Of Us Part 1 continues to be a hotly debated topic, and that increased even more this past week when leaks began to surface that seemingly contradicted what Naughty Dog had been saying about the remake. After this, PlayStation released a 10...

PlayStation had a busy week with closing the Bungie acquisition, as well as officially acquiring Haven Studios. The Haven acquisition is probably most interesting, as a recent interview detailed that the acquisition is about much more than the game they are working on, as there will be a heavy focus on cloud technology and R&D. PlayStation also announced their Stars loyalty program, which seem...

OF COURSE the release date for Ragnarok was announced right after the last episode was recorded... Now that we know when we will all finally get our hands on the much anticipated sequel, it's time for a hype check. Also, do the collector's editions give us a hint at a certain weapon we will be able to wield as Kratos? The ESA also announced that they will be partnering with ReedPop to revamp E3 in...

The guys are back a week earlier than expected, because Kevin had to push his cruise to the fall after a family member tested positive for Covid... Because of this (and because they recorded before God of War Ragnarok officially got a release date) they run through all the drama around Santa Monica Studio and the harassment toward devs at the company over the past week. They also go through a repo...

The moment we have all been waiting for finally arrived with the release of Shredder's Revenge. The guys are loving it so far, with Sean already getting the Platinum, and they give their full in-depth thoughts on of their favorite beat-em-ups of all time. Sean also upgraded to the mid-tier of the new PS Plus offering and goes through the games he's been playing so far. They also run through the Fi...

Summer Game Fest has come and gone, and the announcements weren't the most exciting to say the least. The Xbox Bethesda Showcase wasn't much better, but did finally show off what Starfield's gameplay looks like. Nevertheless the guys go through everything that was announced at the shows. Sean also FINALLY got the Dark Souls 3 Platinum, Nick All Star Brawl isn't really fun, and Sean has the lead in...

After being burned so many times in the past, the guys kept their hype levels to a minimum for Sony's latest State of Play. What they never could have imagined was that the show would deliver it's most impressive outing yet. From Resident Evil 4 Remake, to Horizon: Call of the Mountain, to The Callisto Protocol, and Final Fantasy 16, this show was an absolute banger from beginning to end, and they...

Sony is kicking off Summer Game Fest with their first State of Play in a few months, said to be focused on third party games and a sneak peek of PSVR2 games as well. That, of course, won't stop people (including Sean and Kevin) from getting overhyped, and it also means it's time for some predictions to be made. Star Wars Celebration saw the reveal of the long-rumored sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order,...

We are nearing the launch of the "All New PlayStation Plus", and Sony finally revealed the initial, partial, lineup of games that will hit the service at launch. There are definitely some heavy hitters on the list, but the guys both think the service seems to be more designed for newcomers to the PlayStation ecosystem. Ubisoft also announced that Ubisoft+ will be coming to PlayStation as well, and...

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." That famous Shigeru Miyamoto quote is probably ringing in the heads of all Xbox fans after Bethesda announced that both Redfall and Starfield have been delayed to the first half of 2023. With some developers apparently being worried that if Starfield released this year it had the potential to be the "next Cyberpunk", the delay...
