E3 may be over but there is still plenty to discuss considering our final day was spent in meetings seeing big games like Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, Pokemon Sword/Shield, and more! Krispy and Ed join the LA team to discuss the last few games of the show plus our thoughts on the current state of the big show in 2019.

On our 2nd full day of E3 2019, we attended some exciting appointments and got some hands-on time with some BIG games! Perhaps most importantly, we got to sink our teeth into the 'Final Fantasy 7 Remake' demo which managed to squash any remaining doubt we may have had. We also played a significant demo of Remedy's new game, 'Control' and Nick played an fun match in 'Bleeding Edge!' With that said, some of the biggest surprises of the day came in the form of 'Journey to the Savage Planet' and 'Wolfenstein Youngblood.'

Our first day on the show floor of E3 2019 is at an end and we have so much ground to cover. We of course cover our reactions to the Ubisoft, Square-Enix, and Nintendo Press Conferences which featured some juicy announcement and reveals. Watch Dogs Legion is finally revealed and we talk about all of big news surrounding the unveiling of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake! From our time on the show floor, we cover our impressions of some E3 underdogs like Biomutant, Code Vein, Outer Worlds, and more!

E3 2019 is upon us and the first day of press conferences is over. Microsoft and Bethesda both showed up with some pleasant surprises which were simultaneously overshadowed by the things that were missing and the relentless wave of marketing speak that left us scratching our heads. The day was telling to be sure but it featured some truly surprising cameos and some a few super exciting new IPs that have our undivided attention. We also cover the latest episode in the ongoing Devolver Digital "Press Conference" saga...

It is the week before E3 and with two weeks since our last show, we are absolutely bursting at the seams with exciting game industry news! Everything from the big Death Stranding reveal to the Watch Dogs Legion leak to the surprise announcement of Baldurs Gate 3! Strangely enough, on top of all that, we all ended up playing games set in SPAAAACE! They may all share a common thread but Observation, Void Bastards, and Outer Wilds all offer wildly different experiences.

There's a lot to unpack this week thanks to new releases on opposite ends of the development spectrum. While RAGE 2 hasn't hooked us yet, the game shows promise thanks to fun combat and the usual open world hooks. On the other end of the spectrum, Druidstone, the next game from the talent behind The Legend of Grimrock, manages to do a lot with a smaller budget. Nick goes to bat for Days Gone now that he's spent a lot more time with it and the group addresses some juicy news involving From Software and George R. R. Martin.

Where to begin. We talk in depth about two new games that couldn't possibly be more different: A Plague Tale: Innocence has you avoiding The Inquisition and hordes of flesh eating rats in the Middle Ages while Hypnospace Outlaw simulates the 90's internet experience by tasking you with modifying content on the ugliest websites imaginable. In the wake of Detective Pikachu, Krispy was inspired to bust out Pokemon Let's Go and as we close in on E3, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake emerged from the shadows...

For our 600th show, we decided to try and get out ahead of the inevitable leaks before E3 2019 with our own set of predictions! The show this year is shaping up to be interesting at the very least thanks to Sony's decision to sit this one out but Microsoft, Nintendo, and various other third parties seem poised to jump on this opportunity to fill the void they left. We cover all of the exciting projects that have been confirmed but not revealed and even talk about the possibility of new hardware making it's first appearance!

The first saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to it's dramatic conclusion in Avengers Endgame! This 22 film epic has become a cultural phenomenon and a major topic of conversation here over the last 10 years. In this edition of 4Player Plus, we take a deep dive into this final chapter and talk about everything from Time Travel to Thors Hammer to... the plot of NBC's new show Manifest?

Despite middling reviews, Nick showed up determined to give a slightly different take on Sony's latest Triple-A Exclusive, Days Gone. Brad gives us the breakdown of SteamWorld Quest and tries to articulate why the game seems underwhelming despite sounding like an excellent idea on paper. In the news, we discuss Valve's new VR headset, the horrifying new Sonic the Hedgehog movie that exists, and we speculate that From Software's next game is in fact a Souls-ian Pirate game called Booty Patrol.
