4Player Podcast

It's Sunday and you know what that means! We close out our PAX East 2013 coverage with a special edition of Cocktail Time. We gather together to talk about Contrast, State of Decay, and a bunch of other games that left an impression on us at the event. Of course, it wouldn't be Cocktail Time without alcohol and innappropriate jokes so expect plenty of that as well. Thanks again to the community and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Tomb Raider is upon us and we talk at length about why we think the game came CLOSE to being one of the generations best third-person action games. Of course, that also begs the question of how does this impact the future of the Tomb Raider franchise? We also give hands-on impressions of The Last of Us and (attempt to) school Brad on the science behind Echolocation.  Podcast 309 - [download] [podcast]http://4playernetwork.com/podcasts/4pp/309-03.12.2013.mp3[/podcast] Discussion: Tomb Raider DmC: Vergil's Downfall DLC The Last of Us Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Sim City 5 Debacle Link Dump: PAX East Community Forum Thread Help Support 4Player Network by Subscribing Submit a Viewer Question for Next Week's Podcast Chatter of the Week - To be considered for Chatter of the Week, please email NolanHedstrom@4playernetwork.com.

It's another big week in the world of video games. Just 4 months following the release of Assassin's Creed 3, Ubisoft has unveiled the next numbered installment in the franchise and it's a doozy.

Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE! This show took place during the Superbowl...which we have absolutely no interest in! Chris drinks Chocalate milk and plays Crysis 3, Joseph talks about Bob's facebook photos and can't wait for the BF3 dirtbikes. Bob is still playing Dragon's Dogma 2 but Chris hates fantasy so the guys pretend that Dragon's Dogma is a sci-fi game in order to keep him interested. Joseph also goes through the Metal Gear Revengeance demo and the changes made to Planetside in the latest update. Finally the guys discuss what might have been the first porn in America.
