4Player Podcast

Behold! The first normal show of the new decade and we bring in the year in as if we completely forgot how to podcast! We may not have any idea what we are doing but we do have a lot of video games to talk about. Nick talks about the opening hours of Journey to the Savage Planet and gushes over his time with Stormland on the Oculus Rift. Krispy gives an impressive overview of Manifold Garden and Nolan shares his thoughts now that he FINALLY played through Half Life 2!

It's time to put a nice bow on both 2019 and the 2010s! In part 2 of our 2019 Awards Show, we cover 6 more categories dedicated to the last year in gaming and then 6 awards dedicated to the last decade as a whole. In this episode, we cover the following categories:

We're back for our first old-fashioned podcast of the new decade and we kick off the show with a surprise return to talk about Control! Nick is deep into The Long Dark, Krispy was inspired to jump into Resident Evil 2 Remake following our recent Project M, and Chris Davis is ready to die on the hill for Black Mesa! Brad, inspired by praise on ResetEra, tried SaGa: Scarlet Grace; an inspired but strange new JRPG that hit in late 2019. Also, (really good) inappropriate jokes are made and we're so sorry...

Another new year. Another mass of new games to sort through! In our very first episode of the new decade, we run through a comprehensive (and community-built) list of games scheduled or expected to release in 2020! This includes everything from the hypest AAA productions like Cyberpunk 2077 to smaller creative ideas like 12 Minutes! We cover almost 150 games so get ready to take some notes!

We return for our first show in 3 weeks and we come bearing gifts! With Project M in our rear view mirror, we take this opportunity to revisit Resident Evil 4, a game that has aged beautifully. Chris shows some love for Mechwarrior 5 and the group talks through some of the finer points related to Supraland and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. We also cover the Xbox Series X, Resident Evil 3 remake, and read passages from a... lewd Christmas Gift.

We just wanted to let you our subscribers know that we are live RIGHT NOW on 4pp.tv for our 3rd ever Project M event! We are racing through Resident Evil 4 and raising money to benefit the Trevor Project. For more information, listen to this short message!

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and we have a lot of gaming to be thankful for. Death Stranding continues to inspire plenty of discussion and Brad came prepared with 4 new indie games to recommend. In the news, Valve finally did the unthinkable and announced Half Life: Alyx for Steam VR headsets; news that is both extremely exciting AND cost prohibitive. We also deliver our thoughts on the new Game Award nominees and answer some questions from our patrons (for whom we are also thankful)!

This week Death Stranding continues to impress and perplex us. But perhaps more importantly, Respawn's long awaited Star Wars game, Jedi Fallen Order has arrived. Despite a seemingly long list of annoyances and complaints, the game still manages to deliver a worthwhile experience. Brad talks about a unique and mind-bending puzzler called Superliminal and tells the group about his time with the beautifully bizarre Yakuza 7 demo! Oh yeah, there's a new Half Life game coming... and it's not what you think.

The original F.E.A.R. from Monolith Productions is a genre-bending First-Person-Shooter / Horror game that released in 2005. Despite it's age, it may still be one of the best and most modern feeling FPS games available. On this episode of the Revival Club, Nick is joined by elusive podcaster, Carlos, and special community guest, SelfTorment, to talk about the game and how it has managed to remain a benchmark for the genre for so long.
