4Player Podcast #751 - The Spicy Trades Show (Resident Evil 4 Remake, the Death of E3, Tears of the Kingdom Gameplay Reveal, and More!)

We brought the SPICE this week. Brad opens the show with a dramatic trade proposal during our weekly Fantasy Critic update and the wheels finally came off E3 2023 which has now been cancelled. We discuss the fate of the industry institution and then switch gears to talk about something a bit more positive... Nintendo gave us a brief glimpse of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the game looks amazing. After the break, we take our first deep dive into the Resident Evil 4 remake and Nic...

4Player Podcast #750 - The Cosmic Gumbo Show (Tchia, Diablo IV Beta, Exoprimal Beta, Redfall Preview Coverage, and More!)

It has been quite the week in the games industry and it's got everybody feelin spicy! We've got a bevy of big point updates for our Fantasy Critic and some big headlines including a rumored release window for Spider-Man 2 and the acquisition of Night Dive Studios by Atari! But all of that pales in comparison to the dust kicked up by the recent Redfall preview coverage which continues to be one of the most divisive but compelling games on the horizon.

It's a week full of noteworthy demos.

4Player Podcast #748 - The Hard "E" Show (Is the term "JRPG" harmful to the industry and should we retire it?)

We're mixing things up a bit by introducing an updated "News" segment and swapping the placement of the weekly discussion topic and impressions. With that in mind, we deliver a spicy update to our ongoing Fantasy Critic adventure and run down the juiciest headlines from the past week including an Elden Ring DLC announcement, Suicide Squad delayed , and the details regarding the upcoming XBox & Starfield showcases . We then turn our attention to a hot topic surging through the industry and ou...

4Player Plus - The Top 3 Games that we Regret Dropping

In our first Top 3 list of the year, we discuss the games that got away. The games that we booted up, enjoyed, and then never completed despite enjoying them thoroughly. Sometimes a game gets moved to the back burner and is forgotten despite our intentions to the contrary. To make things interesting, we treated this as a committment to return to the games on our list in 2023 in an effort to right these wrongs.

4Player Podcast #746 - The Legend of Zelda: Nuts and Bolts (Nintendo Direct News Roundup, Steam Next Fest Highlights, and More!)

This week we dig into two big events at opposite ends of the industry. On one hand, Nintendo just had one of their biggest Nintendo Direct events in recent memory so with that in mind, we devoted the first segment to breaking down all the big announcements including the release date for Pikmin 4 , Metroid Prime Remastered (another Shadow Drop!), and the next big trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ! In the second segment, we highlight a handful of games that are currently avail...

4Player Podcast #745 - Dead Space takes Manhattan (Dead Space Remake, Fire Emblem Engage, Hi-Fi Rush, and More!)

Thanks to a literal act of god, we are once again down to 3 people this week but the release of the Dead Space remake ensured that there is plenty to dissect. We dive deep into this remake and try our best to figure out it's legacy in comparison to other high-profile remakes. We also discuss the future of Dead Space under the EA Motive banner if this proves to be a success. Brad delivers a hefty Fire Emblem Engage update and Chris emphasizes how good Hi-Fi Rush is following it's surprise release...

4Player Podcast #744 - The Shadow Drop Show (Fire Emblem Engage, Forspoken, Hi-Fi Rush, and More!)

Amidst travel and hardware issues, a smaller group convened this week to discuss one of the first big gaming weeks of 2023! Brad uses this opportunity to express some positivity for Fire Emblem Engage and explain some common misconceptions about the series. Chris Davis shares his early impressions of Forspoken which seems poised to be one of the first misfires (or at the very least, divisive releases) of the year. But the biggest news of the week comes in the form of a surprise shadow drop from ...

4Player Podcast #743 - The Chris vs Kris Show (First Impressions of 'The Last of Us' on HBO)

While we have plenty of actual video games to discuss this week, the recent premiere of ' The Last of Us ' on HBO steals the spotlight this week. The show is off to a strong start so we take a minute (or 30) to talk about that first impression and the potential that it holds in the coming weeks (or even years). In the first segment though, we check in with Krispy as he continues to play Tunic (one of our 2022 game of the year contenders) and Chris Davis explains his split feelings on Generation ...
