4Player Podcast

2015 has finally hit us! As always, we gather to discuss the myriad of titles we know (or hope) will be hitting gaming platforms in the coming year! Because the nature of the industry has been forever changed by the existence of Steam Greenlight and Early Access and because of the increased popularity of Episodic gaming, we decided to do this a little bit differently this year. We all know you lov...

It's the final podcast of 2014! We finally get to have a shared conversation about The Talos Principle which we all love. Chris Davis (sitting in for Nolan) has been playing a game called Depth ... it's a multiplayer game about man-eating Sharks! It sounds interesting to be sure and some of us might even use it in an upcoming Community night once we get those rolling again in 2015! Lastly, ChaiTai...

Happy Holidays everyone! We hope every one of you has a wonderful and safe holiday! We celebrated this week with super UGLY Christmas sweaters and lots of gift giving! We also dive into a rad new puzzle game called The Talos Principle . Seriously look it up if you haven't yet because it's drawing lots of comparisons to Portal and who didn't LOVE Portal!? On top of that, Nick played a few hours of...

The end of 2014 approaches but we still have plenty of new games to talk about! It's hard to believe but we actually got a sequel to Lara Croft and Guardian of Light which was a favorite of ours a few years back. Of course, we can't resist talking about "I Am Bread" because... well... you play as a piece of Bread. Don't forget to vote in our two community surveys! You can help us rank the 10 best...

This week we whip it all out and put it on the table for all to judge! Who is the biggest Game of Thrones nerd of them all? We wrap up our discussions on several recent, HUGE games and then dissect some of the news to come out of the Game Awards and the Playstation Experience this past weekend. Of course, the end of 2014 draws near so be sure to vote for your 10 favorite games and your favorite br...

We have a real treat for you this week. It's called Vegemite... on toast. We talk Dragon Age Inquisition, Far Cry 4 wildlife, Velocity 2X, and we shower praise on the almight Chris Thacker... from Kincaid, West Virginia.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our stateside listeners! In honor of the national holiday, we celebrate in the only way that makes sense... by trying some utterly disgusting Thanksgiving flavored candy! Guess what! Gravy flavored candies are as gross as they sound. Once we finally get back to business, there is plenty of games to discuss including Far Cry 4 , Dragon Age Inquisition , and Pokemon Omeg...

Nick hands over the hosting duties to Kris this week just because... and he does an awesome job! In the interest of complete and total transparency, we talk almost exclusively about Dragon Age Inquistion and Assassin's Creed Unity this week... mostly. In the 2nd segment, we do drop some bombs like the delay of Bloodborne and The Evil Within NPDs (Hallelujah!)! Oh yeah, and Nolan busts out a surpri...

November is definitely upon us. We delve into the annual Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed releases and one of them seems to be having a rocky start. In case you were wondering, Brad still loves the Legend of Grimrock 2 and Nolan decided to use his shiny new PS4 to play... Akiba's Trip. What's that you ask? Well it involves a combat system that is based around stripping people of their clothing......

As we move into the thick of November, the group has their hands full already. Brad is DEEP into The Legend of Grimrock 2 , Nolan spent the weekend playing the Evolve Alpha, and Nick bought an Xbox One and started Sunset Overdrive ! On top of that, Krispy finally started playing the original Bayonetta and is a little bit shocked by the over the top nature of the game. Oh yeah, Nick is finding joy...

As Halloween approaches, Nolan puts on the famous cowl and becomes... Krispy's hero...? Bayonetta 2 launch week is upon us and Nintendo has another fantastic Wii U exclusive on their hands but can it top the original? Krispy is trying out Lords of the Fallen , a wierd tribute to Dark Souls that may satisfy some while leave a lot to be desired for others. The Evil Within continues to be devisive an...

Carlos fills in for Krispy this week as we delve deep into The Evil Within . The game has us both excited about somethings but feeling somewhat disappointed by others. We wrap up our feelings on Middle Earth , Nick talks about the next game in his Silent Hill series run, and Nolan discusses two new multiplayer games that he started playing recently. Oh and if the thought of eating bugs sounded gro...

This week, we agree on a plan to make the 4Player camping trip a reality, we revisit yet another classic 3D Mario title, we eat bugs, and we talk about some of our most anticpated games of the year! Whether its The Evil Within , Alien Isolation , or Far Cry 4 , one thing is clear: we will have our hands full for months! Did I mention that Brad bullied us into trying dehydrated, salted bugs? Becaus...

Alien Isolation is finally out and Nick has had a good 6-hours with the game. The Middle Earth conversation from last week continues now that everyone has had a wealth of time with the game and Nolan played a bunch of Super Smash Bros 3DS as well so there is no shortage of new and exciting games for us to talk about! The season has definitely started. Carlos invades the show during the second segm...

Miclopa certainly didn't win Chatter of the Week but that won't stop us from naming the show after him (or her)! Coming off of the Project M high, we are all jazzed to be digging into some big games! We share some thoughts on Super Mario 64 of course but we have plenty of new games to talk about. With Middle Earth , The Vanishing of Ethan Carter , and that sweet new Final Fantasy Theatrhythm game,...

This week's episode covers A LOT. We kick things off with a wild tangent about Gotham, the new Batman spin off show on NBC. We also delve into the long awaited, kickstarted sequel to Wasteland which hit this week! Spoiler alert... it's DENSE. On top of that, we cover this month's Subscriber of the Month game, Curse of Monkey Island and a slew of high profile news topics involving upcoming entries...

We kick things off this week with an odd question about Peter Pan and it's all down hill from that moment. Destiny is kind of a bust and we all seem to be at odds about the new demo for Smash Bros on the 3DS. Luckily, Chatter for the Week comes along to save the day. We also chat a little about the Bloodborne Alpha and Silent Hill Origins thanks to Nick's freshly started Series run on 4PP.tv. Has...

As you may have guessed, things get a little wierd this week (READ: Awesome). We get a little bit of both Chris's this week and Brad gushes over the new 2D platformer, Velocity 2X . In an effort to streamline the News segment, we try taking a different approach in which each person brings one story they want to mention on the show. Let us know what you think of this new format down in the comments...

Back to business! Nick is back from PAX Prime with Hands on Impressions of games like The Evil Within and Bloodborne ! Brad played Phantasmagoria and Nintendo just CAN'T come up with good names for their hardware... they just can't...

In our final podcast of 1996 month, we wrap up our thoughts on some of the games we have been playing live on 4pp.tv such as Resident Evil , Legacy of Kain Blood Omen , Alien Trilogy , and more! Nolan also shouts his love from the rooftops for the wacky Kojima game, Policenauts . We hope you enjoyed our little break from the norm to revisit one of our favorite years in gaming! Podcast 375 - [downl...

Our trip down memory lane continues this week as we discuss Super Mario RPG , Suikoden , and JESUS CHRIST DREW BARRYMORE WAS IN BATMAN FOREVER . Nick rekindles his adoration for the original Resident Evil and sparks a conversation comparing it to its modern day counterparts. In the 2nd segment we discuss our opinions of playable teaser for Silent Hills and the new footage that was just released of...

This week's podcast is a celebration of both classic and modern gaming. As 1996 month rages on, we get a chance to talk about Duke Nukem 3D , Tomb Raider , and a strange little game called The Neverhood . On the flip side, it's Gamescom right now over in Germany and there are all kinds of succulent little announcements to dissect. Perhaps most notably, Konami released a playable teaser which turne...

We try our hand (and fail) at acting in the first episode of 4Player Network Public Access for 1996 month! We talk about some of the radical new games that we have been playing such as Star Wars: Dark Forces, Quake, and Shadows of the Empire. Meanwhile, Nick is assaulted with the harsh truth about the joys of the early years in the gaming industry. Podcast 372 - [download] [podcast]http://4playern...

**More like the Perfectly Late show, Am I right!? My apologies for the late show this week. A certain PC/Broadcast setup has been driving me nuts and occupying my time.** This week, Brad takes us back in time to discuss two games from the 90's that have very similar names, Abe's Odyssey and Abyss Odyssey . Krispy also finally played the Last of Us DLC, Left behind... FINALLY! We also wrapped up ou...

It's been an awesome week. Nick and Kris dug into the Destiny Beta and found it far more promising than either of them anticipated and Chris Davis drove across the state for the reveal of Doom at Quake Con! Brad played some classic Doom and as you might imagine... he has some... "thoughts" about what future of the franchise has in store for us... You may also discover a lot about our taste in pie....
