4Player Podcast

After years of hype and anticipation (and perhaps some healthy skepticism), the Final Fantasy VII Remake (Part 1) is in our hands! The group gives their initial impressions which are leaning in a surprising direction! Nick finally played The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, Brad got weird in Distaster Report 4, and Nolan seems like he's quite taken by Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Also, the return of the Supporter Spotlight!

Despite Nick's best efforts to lead the group this week, he fails in spectacular fashion because David has returned to talk about the release of Resident Evil 3 and the future of the franchise! From there, Sony's new DualSense PS5 controller reveal is discussed, Resident Evil 8 rumors are abound, and a bevy of questions from our supporters are answered! Oh and let's not forget the countless number of tangents.

Ed joins us this week from the walls of his own self-isolation to talk about Lightmatters and the other games that have kept him busy since we last spoke. Brad regales us with talk of Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. Nolan has moved on from Peaches to Eggs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and we share our continued impressions of Half Life Alyx now that several of us have finished the game. The news is dominated by exciting rumors of a new Super Mario All Stars collection AND the unfortunate delay of The Last of Us: Part 2.

The world may be in turmoil right now but at least there are plenty of exciting games to keep us preoccupied. The group has been ripping and tearing through DOOM Eternal which has proven to be both fun and somewhat overwhelming. Nolan has discovered his hatred of peaches thanks to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Krispy gives us a detailed breakdown of what makes Call of Duty: Warzone one of the best Battle Royale's on the market. And of course, it's been YEARS but Half Life: Alyx has finally brought the dormant franchise back to life... and it's amazing.

With the Coronavirus taking a toll on the world at large, we have taken the precautionary steps of switching to remote recordings for the foreseeable future. We won't let it keep us down though! We have plenty to talk about thanks to Ori and the Will of the Wisps , the recent release of Nioh 2, the Trials of Mana demo, and the reveal of the PS5 technical specs!

It may take a few weeks to get the audio right where we want it but if you have any feedback about the live stream or the quality of the audio, please let us know. Stay safe out there folks!

The world is living in fear thanks to the Corona Virus which makes video games seem really damn unimportant. BUT we're going to talk about them anyways! The demo for Final Fantasy 7 Remake doesn't do a lot convince us of it's impending success but Ori and the Will of the Wisps wears it's Hollow Knight inspiration on it's sleeve and that's fine by us! Nick pleads with you to finish Telltale's The Walking Dead, Nolan played Legend of Bumbo, and Brad tried Murder by Numbers! Oh yeah... and E3 is f***ing cancelled!

The Baldur's Gate 3 hype train has officially left the station. We analyze the promising new gameplay footage from PAX East and spend a bizarre amount of time "arguing" about whether Nick actually likes "high-fantasy." Platinum unveiled two more announcements and cause varying degrees of excitement. We also answer patreon questions and rattle off a bunch of quick impressions including A World of Horror, Overwatch, and Kentucky Route Zero!

Dreams is finally out in the wild; Sony and Media Molecule's ambitious follow-up to Little Big Planet faces challenges ahead but they are overshadowed by vast potential. Brad and Krispy tackle this beast and do their best to cover all the bases. Nick discusses his very early impressions of the massive VR RPG, Asgard's Wrath and gives his final thoughts on Journey to the Savage Planet. Per usual, supporter questions leads down to some... interesting places.

What a week! It's Nolan's birthday for starters but he also comes bearing impressions of Final Fantasy 7 which he is replaying in preparation for the upcoming remake. Nick is still swooning over Stormland in VR and Brad is getting swole thanks to Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure. While most of the news is bad this week, Platinum saves the day thanks to it's wildly successful kickstarter of The Wonderful 101 port!

For the past few months, the 4Player Revival Club has been plugging away at the beloved Capcom RPG, Dragon's Dogma. Released back in 2012, this game has built quite the devoted following in the years since it's release. On this episode, Nick is joined by Nolan and community guest TheGreenGoddamn, to discuss the game and respond to comments/questions from the community.

In February/March 2020, the club will be playing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: Sith Lords; To participate, please visit us at Patreon.com/4Player.
