*Rumor* Dark Knight Game Cancelled *Rumor*


Well it looks like the studio that was developing the Dark Knight game has recently been instructed to call it quits due to multiple missed deadlines and quality control issues. This is still a rumor but it is most likely true due to the total lack of screenshots or cold hard facts more than a month after the film's release. Thats ok though... I still have another incredibly cool looking Batman game coming next Fall! Lets dry our tears and PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!

Brad's Laundry List: "Excited about Lara" Edition

I'm getting really pumped for the new Tomb Raider this fall. It really came out of nowhere.

Prince of Persia - 100%

Nick's Final Laundry List Update


So summer is over and I feel that I have made the best of this gaming drought. Despite the lack of big blockbuster releases, I have managed to go back and finish up a lot of games that I have been intending to finish as well as a few newer titles. So lets take a look back at my summer accomplishments: (Keep in mind, 100% = finished the story mode)

The Bourne Conspiracy (PS3) - 100%
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - 100%
Siren: New Translation - 100%
Grand Theft Auto 4 - 100%
Alone in the Dark (Xb360) - 100%
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (PS2) - 100%
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (PS2)- 100%
Zone of Enders: 2nd Runner - 100%
Portal (Xb360) - 100%
Lost Odyssey - 25%
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core- 90%

So with summer over, these are some of the games that I hope to finish in the fall. The list will be much shorter because the fall is obviously loaded with tons of huge titles:

- Tomb Raider Legend (Xb360)
- Prince of Persia: Two Thrones (PS2)
- Beyond Good & Evil (PS2)
- The Suffering 2: Ties that Bind (PS2)
- FEAR (PS3)

Well thats all for me folks.

This Week on the Feed....

Games are always better with friends, and to honor the much anticipated co-op games coming out this fall like Left 4 Dead, Gears 2, Fable 2, and Mercs 2, we will be dedicating this week to playing games with other people. So here is the lineup you can expect to see this week:


Castle Crashers has been receiving a ton of hype, and on Wednesday me, David, and two other lucky people from the community will take sword in hand and uh... kill lots of stuff. I really hope this game lives up to its lofty expectations. At the very least, I'm expecting a cool visual style from The Behemoth, creators of Alien Hominid.


I've never played a Rainbow Six game for more than mere minutes, but things are about to change. Co-op story mode is what is inspiring me to try out this game, and I will be looking to the community for someone to play this game with. Hopefully the more tactical gameplay will bring back memories of the best parts of the next game on this list.


David and I had a fun time with this game a couple of years ago, and now it looks like David will give it another go with Nick. The game is kind of old, but sadly the more recent Splinter Cell did not have story based co-op mission like Chaos Theory. I really hope to see a return of this fantastic mode in the next game in the series.


My brother Brian and I got to the final boss of the game last weekend and things didn't end well. This week, in the spirit of co-op, we will try once again to kick the shit out of that machine gun wielding ass. The real question is... WILL THE BACK KICK RETURN???


David and I are on the very last stage of Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and it looks like it's going to be long and hard. <_< Tune in for the exciting conclusion this week as we attempt to blow up Hitler's head.

David's Contest

Earlier this week, I showed Air Guitar Nation on the feed much to the confusion of some of the viewers. It's a documentary about the World Air Guitar Championships and America's first entry into them. Overall it was pretty enjoyable and I hinted at a competition of some sorts. I've finally gotten around to setting up everything so here it goes.

Who: Anyone is eligible.
What: Air Guitar Competition
Where: The Best Place You Can Come Up With
When: Entries are due before Sept.1
Why: Because we can. Also, I'll let you have a pick out of something I get from PAX and a 4PP Shirt.

Email me via davidliao@4playerpodcast.com - Let me know you're interested. We can discuss the way you can submit your entry. Basically the rules are wide open. Just nothing we couldn't show on JTV.

Oh, we shot this last night around 2 am. I'm not entered, I thought I'd just get things going.


Sorry about the video quality, I had to slap everything together before work today,

EA and their response to the Jesus Shot

Back when Tiger Woods 2008 came out a fellow by the name of Levinator 25, posted this video of glitch in the game where Tiger hits a shot while standing in a water hazard.

So with the new one coming out, EA has decided to explain why they put out crappy sports games with glitches.

Hope you liked it,
David

kjh@$#ujj*13FFD# TWIIIIXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!



1. Parasite Eve: 3rd BirthdOH WHO THE FUCK CARES. I would have settled for another fucking survival horror knockoff like the shitty sequel, but no! They opted to copy from the brilliant Dirge of Cerberus. Square Enix has announced that the new game will be a pure 3rd person shooter. And we all know these work great ON THE FUCKING PSP!


2. Lords of Shadow is the new action adventure game from Konami for real consoles. He has a FUCKING WHIP! This better be a fucking code name for a new 3d Castlevania. FUCK! I'm all for new IP, but Castlevania has been needing the quality move to 3d for years. And they instead focus on this shit? FOR FUCK SAKE JUST CALL IT CASTLEVANIA AND MAKE THE DUDE FIGHT DRACULA. Here is the trailer:



3. Suikoden Tierkreis, the next Suikoden game, will be on the DS. Yep. Yep. *cries* At least it's not a port right? Right? *wheeps*


4. Bandai(I refuse to acknowledge Namco exists anymore) thought it would be good idea to sell level ups in the upcoming Tales of Vesperia. Who needs to waste time grinding when 100 points($1.25) gets you a whole level. OH FUCK YOU, SHITHEADS.



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHAT

THE

FUCK

JAPAN?
