Furious Fourcast Furious Fourcast

News of the game and sci-fi variety hit hard this week with Star Wars cast news, Nintendo's E3 plans, a Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Hero Edition announcement and more. The Furious Fourcast welcomes back Jen, Jeramy, Max and Scott for another roundtable discussion.

The crew also hops on for another rapid-fire Buy, Skip or Wait featuring Mario Golf: World Tour, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game, Wolverine's fate and more.

 

So tune in and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Game of Thrones has entered its fourth episode for season 4 and the Furious Fourcast has decided to put together a dedicated Thronecast for the hit show. Yeah, we may be late to the party but we got things to say and it was cutting into our regular episodes.

This week, Jen, Jeramy, Max and Scott talk the ramifications of episode 3 heading into “Oathkeeper” and how the table is being set for things down the line. There are some things with this episode that make Jen even less happy but there are some suprises as well with how the show has begun to diverge from the books.

 

So, sit back and have a listen with us as we talk Game of Thrones.

The Furious Fourcast is back for the 32nd episode and welcomes Jeramy Pappas from the Daily Crate back. The latest Game of Thrones was controversial for one very big and gross reason but there were also some other things in the episode to take issue with.

Dragon Age: Inquisition also made a splash this week with a new trailer and a release date. Everything looks fantastic so far but will it live up to the promise? The same can be said with other significant trailers released this week for Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios and Watch Dogs from Ubisoft.

 

That leads to another question as we head deeper into the PS4 and Xbox One. Is the market for AAA games drying up as the costs get bigger and bigger? Both Epic Games and GameStop appear to have read the writing on the wall.

After a brief two-week hiatus, the Furious Fourcast returns and welcomes the “Gentleman Gamer”, Russell Jones, to the fold.

 

In this latest podcast, we discuss the dramatic return of Game of Thrones and all the bloody drama and intrigue that has unfolded over the first two episodes of season four. Yes, there is definitely spoiler material in here so you will want to skip ahead to 27:05 in the podcast. You've been warned!

 

 

When we aren't talking the latest in fantasy soap opera, Max shares details on his trip to PAX East and the games he got to try out like Turtle Rock’s Evolve and demos of other games like The Evil Within from Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks and Bethesda. Let’s just say that Jen wasn't too happy with one of these.

 

 

We also touch on the shocking news that legendary Halo and Destiny composer Marty O’Donnell was fired by Bungie before moving on to more light-hearted fare in our Buy, Skip or Wait rapid(ish) fire session about Trials Fusion, Final Fantasy XIV and The Last of Us on the PS4 plus whether Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dramatic Captain America: Winter Soldier tie-in made the show worth watching.

Virtual Reality headsets like the Kickstarter-backed Oculus Rift and Sony's Project Morpheus for the PS4 were the talk of GDC last week. Then news dropped like a megaton bomb Tuesday that Facebook bought Oculus Rift. Jen, Max, Robert and Scott all got together for episode number 30 of the Furious Fourcast to discuss the implications of the deal and whether our gaming and entertainment future is wearing virtual reality headsets.

 

We also check in with Robert on what he saw and did while at GDC, whether X-Men: Days of Future Past looks like an X-movie worth seeing and what's up with Microsoft's new reputation system for the Xbox One.

 

We also manage to squeeze in a new Buy, Skip or Wait for some of the latest game and movie releases!

The Furious Fourcast welcomes special guest Keri Honea as regular Scott clearly does not operate well on a couple of hours of sleep. The result is a sometimes pronunciation and memory disabled yet entertaining discussion of the "Dudebro" game genre. 

 

Do "Dudebro" games such as Call of Duty, Gears of War and the recently released Titanfall get too much crap because of the perception of the gamers who play them? Are there "Dudebro" games that can be appreciated?

 

We also do a "Dudebro" special edition of Buy or Skip with a focus on which franchises are worth a buy and which are worth skip.
