Furious Fourcast

The Playstation 4 and Xbox One are both out in the wild and begun, the console wars have. The Furious Fourcast crew give their impressions of both next-gen consoles and how the launches went along with what what games they are playing. There's also a little talk about how easy access to livestreaming will be the end of civilization and the on-going South Park trilogy that manages to ape both the console wars and Game of Thrones at the same time.

The launch of the PS4 is just a week away with the Xbox One just a week after that. Next-gen consoles are finally here! The Furious Fourcast crew becomes a Tricast this week but talks console wars while adding some perspective on the launch of the current generation and previous generations before that.

October brings Halloween and plenty of scares but are good video games still being made in the horror genre? That's the question that the Furious Fourcast takes on with as Jen picks up hosting duties with guests Dan Tack, Kyle Gaddo and Max Parker. The group takes a look at horror games present and past to unlock what makes a good horror game and if it is even possible to still make a good horror game.

The Furious Fourcast returns with Episode number 18 which sees he return of Jen to the podcast. This week we talk the problems with the GTA Online launch and how the GTA V single-player is still going.

There's also sad news that hit today as author Tom Clancy passed and the crew discusses his legacy not just in books and films but games as well.

Destiny and Deus Ex Universe announcements this week also have the crew excited of what's in store for next year and beyond.

Grand Theft Auto V hit the streets this week and the Furious Fourcast is ready to give their initial impressions of the PS3 and Xbox 360 title from Rockstar Games. Adam, Max, Robert and Scott discuss their craziest moments so far, the controversy around some of the reviews, their favorite characters and more.

Various PS4 announcements out of the Tokyo Game Show is discussed as well as the loss of an industry legend from Nintendo.

Illness struck the Furious Fourcast this week and....holy crap...it cost how much to make Grand Theft Auto V? Ahem. Anyways, the crew is a man and/or woman down for episode 16 as they talk the PS Vita, PS Vita TV and PS4 announcements from Japan and what it all means from our American perspective. Meanwhile, Microsoft employees are braving Reddit and NeoGAF to defend the Xbox One and Hideo Kojima was forced to respond to controversy over Metal Gear Solid V's scantily clad female sniper.

Plus, there's also a little talk about the Robocop trailer that looks like it may end up in the barrel of horrible remakes alongside Total Recall.

And this week's Burning Question polls whether or not the newly announced iPhone 5S is enticing enough to upgrade.

It seems like games never lacks for anything to talk about and that was especially true this week as Microsoft finally dropped the date for the Xbox One launch and now we have the console war with the PS4 set for November. There was also both PAX Prime and Dragon Con this week that three of the Fourcasters attended with some notable controversy at one. Plus, there's news that Dragon Age: Inquisition will feature playable Qunari which is a huge disappointment to Jen.

And this week's Burning Question is what is the first next-gen game you plan to purchase?

Holy lengthy podcast title, Batman! The Furious Fourcast is broadcasting a little early this week with two of the casters heading to conventions this week. That doesn't stop Jen, Adam, Robert and Scott from talking the casting controversy of Ben Affleck as Batman and Miley Cyrus' twerking at VMAs (despite Scott's protests).

Yes, there is plenty of game discussion too though including the leak and "gone gold" announcement of Grand Theft Auto V, an unfortunate incident involving GTA IV and what Xbox One and PS4 game reveals out of Gamescom impressed the most. There's also a heavy discussion of Disney Infinity.

And this week's burning question involves the worst of the Star Wars expanded universe which somehow led into a contest involving twerking Ewoks.

What?!?

Yeah, it's the Furious Fourcast y'all.

Gamescom hit Tuesday and Microsoft, Sony and Electronic Arts brought plenty for the Furious Fourcast crew to talk about in an early edition of the weekly podcast. There was a PS4 release date along with a plethora of games a PS Vita price drop and plenty of shots fired. There was Xbox One with some interesting announcements and gameplay footage of TitanFall, Forza 5, Project Spark plus free games with the console and more but not as much new. And, there was an Electronic Arts showcase for all of its upcoming games.

Max, Robert, Jen and Scott hit the topics on what was shown at Gamescom plus look ahead at what the Xbox One release date might be now and whether either will see any launch issues like consoles in the past.

Also, this week's Burning Question asks if the Sony press conference moved the needle to swing more people into the PS4 camp.

With the dual reveals of Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer and GTA V's Grand Theft Auto Online this week, the Furious Fourcast crew talked about the contrasts between the two and which one made the better impression.

Also discussed is what is happening with the PS4 and Xbox One next week and what moves Sony and Microsoft will make with release dates for the next-gen consoles. Not to mention the latest change to the Xbox One regarding the Kinect, EA's impressive Humble Bundle and the surge of game releases next week starting with Disney Infinity.

The Batman: Arkham Origins and Forza 5 collectors/limited edition get compared as well which kind of ties into the Burning Question of the Week as Adam, Jen, Robert and Scott discuss which comic books they would like to see Rocksteady Studios turned into games.
