4Player Podcast

This week, 4PP jumps the shark (Well I hope not...)! Jack joins the group this week as we try our best to calmly discuss the recently announced Resident Evil 6. Capcom seems determined to split the loyal Resident Evil fan-base even further by fueling the identity crisis that started with Resident Evil 4. It's a tough conversation to have so feel free to leave your two cents in the comments. We talk some Dark Souls, Skyrim, and some Kingdoms of Amalur as well in the impressions segment. Be sure to subscribe to the show on iTunes if you haven't already because starting in February, the flood gates open and there will be a lot of new titles to play and discuss!

Jack starts the show off strong with a guest rant about the developers of Amy. We discuss some pretty high-profile demos that hit Xbox Live this week including Azura's Wrath, the Darkness 2, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. One of those titles sends us spiraling into a heated conversation about some of the more questionable marketing ploys of today's biggest publishers. Max Payne 3 and Batman both make into the news this week and we share some of the more entertaining results of our recent community survey.
