- 4Player Podcast #845 - A Diddy when You're Tootin (Gamecom Opening Night Live 2025 Recap, Hollow Knight Silksong Updates, Fumes, and More!)
Gamescom 2025 kicked off this week in Germany so we devoted most of this episode to recapping the news and announcements coming out of the Opening Night Live ceremony! This includes updates for highly anticipated games like Routine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Resident Evil Requiem, and more! Believe it or not, there is also big news to report regarding Hollow Knight Silksong and Bioshock 4! Brad squeezes in some impressions of Fumes; a car combat game in early access which scratched his Twisted Metal itch (kinda).

0 min - 4Player Podcast #844 - The Assault Class Show (Battlefield 6 Beta, Ooo, Octopath Traveler 2, and More!)
Nick is making random gaming decisions again but it gives us a chance to revisit Octopath Traveler II; An RPG that didn't get a ton of coverage from us when it first released. Before the onslaught of AAA releases hits, Brad keeps the flow of indie darlings flowing. This week, he talks about Ooo and Is this Seat Taken; both of which are worth your attention albeit for very different reasons. Of course, Chris Davis is coming in hot with his in-depth impressions of the Battlefield 6 Beta!

0 min - 4Player Podcast #843 - The No Manual Show (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, and More!)
We're coming in hot this week! You may not know this but 2025 is the year of the ninja! Brad brings his thoughts on two new 2D entries in classic ninja franchises: Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and the demo for the upcoming Shinobi: Art of Vengeance! Nick digs a little deeper into Donkey Kong Bananza which might go down as the best "baby-game" ever made. Chris Davis gives his final thoughts on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 along with footage that will haunt Brad's nightmares.

1 hr 8 min - 4Player Podcast #842 - The Smooth Body Show (Donkey Kong Bananza, Luto, Promise Mascot Agency, and More!)
This week brings MORE Superman chit-chat now that our resident comic-book expert has seen the film! Brad talks about Promise Mascot Agency which feels like a bizarre mini-game ripped straight out of Yakuza. Of course, we also dig into Donkey Kong Bananza; The Nintendo Switch 2's first "killer app!" Nick also delivers early impressions of Luto which feels like a bizarre cross between PT and The Stanley Parable. There's loads to talk about but for some reason, Chris Davis didn't bring us footage of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4! WTF?

1 hr 43 min - 4Player Podcast #841 - The Dreaded Bottom-Line Show (Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, The Wonderful 101, Xbox Layoffs / Cancellations, and More!)
It's a week of highs and lows! Unfortunately, Xbox was hit with another wave of layoffs and high-profile cancellations including the likes of Perfect Dark and Everwild. It's not all bad news bears though. We cover the new Superman movie, revisit The Wonderful 101, and delve deeper into the insane and wonderful world of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach! Chris Davis also played... The Thing Remastered(?!).

2 hr 6 min - 4Player Podcast #840 - The Green Sheep Show (Blue Prince, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Chronicles of the Wolf, and More!)
Before diving into the depths of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, we take a detour to return to Blue Prince now that Nick has given himself to the game. Brad talks about the new Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update and highlights Chronicles of the Wolf; a well made homage to classic Castlevania. Chris Davis surprises the group with a game off his extensive backlog (**It's Okami**) and Krispy hit the road recently so he got to spend some time with Mario Kart World, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Unicorn Overlord on his Nintendo Switch 2! So many video games, so little time...

With E3 a thing of the past, Brad officially dubs early June as "Gamer Hanukkah" (more commonly known as Summer Game Fest) - A week (or more) long celebration of the gaming industry that comes with a boat load of big gaming announcements and reveals! We devote the entire first segment to talking about our expectations and dreams for the event, including the possible reveals for Resident Evil 9, a remake of Final Fantasy Tactics, IO Interactive's new James Bond game (Now titled "First Light"), and more!

Nick shovels more "Nick-slop" in the form of lo-fi indie horror game, Labyrinth of the Demon King and Chris Davis delves deeper into DOOM: The Dark Ages!
