4Player InebriNATION
Sat 06/22/13 | 7:00PM
One of the most white-knuckle inducing things about the PS3 is its constant need to update at the most inopportune times, and you may be wondering why. This is mostly due to the PS3 allowing the system to Auto-update only for PlayStation Plus members. Everyone else has to go through ...
Hey, you know that open-world apocalypse survival game we all love here at 4Player, State of Decay? Well it seems you all love it as well since it has now officially sold over 500,000 copies, making it the fasting selling original XBLA game ever. That's a cool half ...
Even with all the talk and bluster about used games restrictions allowing more money to flow to the publisher, Microsoft has confirmed with Gamespot that new games published by Microsoft will continue to be $60.
Of course, there are still many unknowns here. Pricing for other publishers such as Activision ...
Develop is reporting huge changes going on at IO Interactive, with the studio laying off approximately 50% of its workforce and shutting down projects to focus solely on the next Hitman game currently in pre-production.
A spokesperson for the Denmark studio stated the cuts were necessary to align the company ...
There really is no other company like Naughty Dog. It is impossible to fathom the existence of a group which releases hit after hit and seems utterly impervious to criticism. It could be reasoned that they are in some respects the Pixar of video games: every few years they come ...
The weekend is finally here! Time to recap some important news buzzing around the game industry.
While this will certainly be the nerdiest thing I have ever written about, I just can't forgive something that happened during the Microsoft E3 2013 press conferecne this year. Follwing the debut trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a representative of CD Project Red happily announced that player ...
That's a wrap! Another E3 in the bag for the crew at 4Player! Thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch, listen, and otherwise ingest our onslaught of gaming coverage over the past few days. In our final E3 podcast, we cover impressions of Batman Arkham Origins, Murdered Soul ...
Bethesda is always a delight to visit during E3. From our first looks at Rage and Prey 2 (hey, it was a great moment seeing it for the first time), to the reveal of Skyrim, the Bethesda booth is one place I'm always really looking forward to visiting. This ...
It's well known that E3 has banned booth babes from their convention, but who would even look twice at them when we have the stunning specimen above to gawk at? The above 1990 Nintendo World Championship cartridge made its appearance in the Video Game Museum installation on display at ...
Joseph Christ and Chris Davis talk about the gameplay reveal of South Park and the Stick of Truth. And yes, the game does look like you're playing the TV show.
Joseph interviews PlanetSide 2's Adam Clegg to talk about the expansion of the future of PS2, expansion of the Lattice System, the future of the infiltrator, Planetside 2 on the PS4 and more...
Joseph interviews Matt Lightfoot to talk about the new standalone version of DayZ, UI updates and character made buildings.
Yes, it seems Nintendo could have shown off the new Legend of Zelda for WiiU at E3 this year, but chose not to. One would think that hyping up three upcoming LoZ titles would be exactly what Nintendo would do, but Miyamoto thought otherwise. In an interview with GamesIndustry, Miyamoto ...
It was insanely busy at the Nintendo booth during E3 but Nick and Brad were able to get some hands-on time with the next handheld entry in the Zelda series. Here are their impressions. Make sure to follow our commentary on Twitter with the #4PNE3 hashtag!

Day 2 on the showfloor (Day 3 of E3 2013) was full of great games to play. Brad and Nick stormed the Nintendo booth to play several great (but incredibly safe) 3DS titles and the group was astounded by the behind close doors presentation of The Witcher 3: The Wild ...
Our first day on the show floor was fun but exhausting. We got our first hands-on time with next-gen hardware, saw some impressive new next-gen titles, and even found ourselves in an awkward but hilarious situation thanks to the insanity of Suda 51. We talk Mad Max, Dying Light, Bayonetta ...
E3 is officially underway in a really big way! Day 1 consists of thr group running all over town to attend the 4 major press conferences (Sony, Microsoft, EA, & Ubisoft). These conferences are usually filled to the brim with filler and rarely feature many major game announcements. Luckily, this year ...
E3 2013 is upon us! After a long day of traveling, we have finally touched down in Los Angeles. Our Day 0 podcast includes impressions of State of Decay, commentary on a troubling lawsuit being filed against Ubisoft, and of course, we speculate on the disturbing controversy surrounding the next ...
It's our last show before we fly off to LA for E3 2013! We spend some time talking about a few big Indie games that made a splash this week including The Swapper, Thomas was Alone, and Gunpoint. In the second segment, our E3 discussion covers everything that we ...
This week Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis talk about the 4Player Community Multiplayer Night, Resident Evil: Revelations, Peter Molyneux's penchant for womens underwear, their E3 predictions and more!!

Carlos joins the group this week but he wears a mask because he claims his opinions are too controversial. Get this... are you ready? FUSE is better than Bioshock Infinite! We also continue our discussion of the original Deus Ex, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, and a sweet new indie game ...
Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
It's a special Memorial Day show. Bob pulls out the Cisco and Joseph finds Budweiser mixed with clam juice. Joseph talks about his best friend driving drunk to his own wedding, Microsofts XBox One Reveal, Resident Evil: Revelations, God as a drunken abuser, and ...

This week Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis can finally talk about Metro: Last Light, Mob of the Dead, Joseph has sucked Bob into his Planetside 2 obsession, Champions of Norrath (ps2), the guys play a suggestive scene from Metro: Last Light which features ...
Mike makes his triumphant return and finally has a chance to spill his guts about Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Nick shares his thoughts on Metro Last Light and Brad regales us with a story of his trip to Universal Studios. Of course, we can't help but talk at ...
Goldenllama (Now affectionately known as Llama), our Subscriber of the Month for April, sat down to talk about Transformers: Fall of Cybertron with Brad and Joseph. A rather inspired choice to be honest and one that didn't get a lot of coverage from us when it initially launched. Tune ...
Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
This week Joseph Christ, Jeff Demelo and Chris Davis can't talk about Metro: Last Light yet! (This show was recorded before the embargo was up). But they still talk about Star Command, the destruction of the Samus' character, Wolfenstein 3D, Bob switching bodies and ...
It's been a big week for the gaming industry! Bethesda announced a new, next-gen, entry in the Wolfenstein franchise, Disney gave EA the keys to the Star Wars castle, and Eternal Darkness might be getting a sequel (READ: Spiritual Successor). We finally remember to talk about The Bureau: XCOM ...
Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
This week Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis are hipsters and talk about beard fucking, the certification process of Planetside 2, Telltale Games' Poker Night 2, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the poor questioning in L.A. Noire, the Minerva Metastatis mod for Source ...

Suda51's next off-the-wall title Killer Is Dead was on the show floor of E3 2013 and we got the chance to capture footage of this new title. Make sure to follow our commentary on Twitter with the #4PNE3 hashtag!
Warner Bros. has unveiled some Batman: Arkham Origins footage at this year's E3. A prequel to Rocksteady Studio's Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, Origins is in the hands of a new developer (Warner Bros. Games Montreal), the characters are voiced by new voice actors, and the ...

Post-apocalyptic fiction is very commonplace today, available on every bookshelf, DVD collection and every video game console imaginable. Post-nuclear exchange stories are easily the most visible of the entire genre, especially so since our species discovered a way to extinguish us within the span of just half an hour. For ...
Truth be told, I don’t know much about Steve Jackson’s work outside of the fact that he wrote a series of adventure game books back in the early 80’s. While I haven’t read them, I’m inclined to believe they must have been ‘special’ or Inkle Studio’s wouldn’t be reincarnating Mr. Jackson’s stories in digital form. Right? Read on and find out.
Let's get one thing out of the way. Dead Island: Riptide is not a sequel to Dead Island. Believe me, I can understand if you would think that due to its 15+ hour campaign and fifty dollar price tag. And even if the absence of a number after 'Island ...
Every generation that has come along there have been those few memorable titles that, beyond being great experiences, really makes the player put down the controller and truly consider their actions and the implications of the story. 2007’s release of Bioshock by then 2K Boston and meant to be ...
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was almost a completely different beast at one point. Originally under development by Kojima Productions under the same gaming tenants as previous Metal Gear titles, it was quietly canceled in 2010 amid development problems only to be resurrected by Platinum Games and re-introduced to the world ...
“I don't know if you've played Duke Nukem Forever. It's awesome.”-Randy Pitchford, 13 July 2012
In order to talk in context about what Aliens: Colonial Marines is and isn't, it's important to pay close attention to that quote above. The amazing thing about it ...
For all the work we put into talking, writing and playing video games, most of us are powerless when we are faced with change, especially when it comes to changes for the perceived worse. This generation has seen an almost dramatic shift toward homogenization, more so than any other before ...
Not every game needs to be a gameplay heavy endeavor, nor overly explain itself to the player. Sometimes a game can be an experience barred from the traditions of what fun in video games has been since Pong. Kentucky Route Zero may lack traditional gameplay but it makes up for it in style, atmosphere, and writing; never failing to create entertainment through experience, over interactivity. KRZ may look like a point-and-click adventure game (reminiscent of Another World), but I'd prefer to call it a create your own adventure game ( ...much more fitting). And it's a damn good one too.
Few titles are as a saturated by controversy as Capcom's reboot of the Devil May Cry series. The publishing powerhouse has been making some bold decisions with their core franchises lately by skewing their typical gameplay stylings and sometimes handing them off to western developers all together. In the ...
Anarchy Reigns might be the most innovative and daring project yet released by Platinum Games. While the studio certainly houses accomplished veterans of the characters action genre, bringing this type of game into the online arena has been rarely attempted, and almost always met with complete disaster. Similar to fighting ...

It's that time of year again.
For better or worse, November is Call of Duty month and while some are delighted to get their hands on the new game, others roll their eyes and wonder when and if it will ever end.
November 2012 brings us Black Ops 2 ...
I stand outside a closed door. I bash it in, knocking out the guard that stood behind it. I pick up his gun and shoot his friend before he can get up from the couch he's sitting on. The doors on either side of me open and more goons ...
I'll admit, I feared for the XCOM series when news struck that Firaxis was leading the charge to reboot the cult-classic, turn-based strategy game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy nearly everything this team has done with Sid Meier at the helm but...Sid Meier isn't on this one. Firaxis has done, for this series, what it had with Civilization: Revolution and I mean that in the best way possible. It's simplified, concise, and the greatest attempt of drawing attention to one of gaming's most niche of genres.
