The Prof, Larry, and the Dev, Anthony, look ahead at the games coming out in 2024 and pick their games for the 2024 Fantasy Critic League.

With a new year comes an onslaught of new games to be excited about. As is now tradition around these parts, we kick off the new year with the initial Draft in our ongoing Fantasy Critic league! This year, Ed joins the fray, bringing our roster up to seven! We learned a lot over the last year and I think it shows because not only are our individual rosters stronger and spicier, counter-picking was absolute hell! But hey, it makes for a fun podcast. Pay attention at the beginning for the rundown of the rules and all of the changes we have implemented and then sit back and enjoy. Thanks for joining us for another year of video games!

In this week's episode of X Marks the Box, we commence our first ever Fantasy Critic League! Who will know more about 2023's games, as we start our first drafts? Would be it be the Chief himself Lewis? The Struggling Alice, or the rad dudes at PS We Trust? Let the battle begin!

2023 is going to be a ton of fun here at 4Player! In lieu of our usual "preview show" format, we have opted to create a "Fantasy Critic" league! This works a lot like fantasy football but publishers (players) draft games and points are dictated by their OpenCritic scores. In this episode, Carlos joins us for the initial draft and we take turns filling out the slots in our lineup! The league will consist of 12 games total per person but only 8 are selected in this initial draft. We will re-convene after E3 season to bid on our remaining 4 slots and fill out the rest of our teams. We will also provide monthly updates on the last podcast of every month so we can check in and see where we all stand as these games release.

#84: What We've Learned from Fantasy Critic League | What if the Xbox-Activision Deal Doesn't Happen?

Fantasy Critic draft season might not be at the forefront of the news cycle right now, but it's a yearlong affair. Most of the attention is on the beginning of Fall 2022 right now, but there are folks (like us) who already have their eyes on the 2023 Draft Class. Next year's class is shaping up to be quite different from 2022. The league gave a resounding lukewarm reception to the games that have been delayed. The anticipation for next year's draft could see much more buzz at the league's most important pick; first overall. Mock drafts this time of year are rarely accurate. But it's a worthwhile exercise to see who is worth keeping an eye on in the gaming ranks as well as what a game could look like in a year. Will Tears of the Kingdom live up to the hype? Will Spider-Man 2 launch in 2023? Which teams will take the biggest risks and will they pay off? At this stage we still don't know who will be victorious in the ButtonMashing101 Fantasy Critic League, and we likely won't know until December, but we know who the leaders are. We know who the longshots are, and we also know who is in the middle hoping for a miracle. But a miracle isn't a plan, a plan isn't guaranteed to succeed, and success is often determined deep into the video game release calendar. So tune in to this week's episode to find out which games look the best on paper, which games are sure to impress, and which games have that dog in them. This is our preview of the 2023 Fantasy Critic League, and more than just our pride is on the line.

After a long 8 month hiatus, the fellas return to chat a myriad of things: Pokemon rom hacks, Elden Ring, the Analogue Pocket, game emulation, Kirby, and the 2022 Fantasy Critic League results with a quarter of the year left to go.

With the year more than half way over, we check in on our Fantasy Critic League and see whos in the lead, and what changes were made to everyone's list so far.

Q1 has come and passed, and the Game Busters travel back into their Fantasy Critic League to check up on who the big winners and losers of 2022 have been so far. Will Nirav's Elden Ring win pull him to victory, or will Digimon Survive be so bad Sarim will win by pure counterpicking? What does JP Know about an unnanounced Spyro game? Will Tim ever recover from the devastating blows dealt by Chocobo GP? Can Kate will Haunted Chocolatier into releasing this year? And how does this all affect Jess the world's #1 Scorn Fan?

This week, the Game Busters begin their 2022 Fantasy Critic League and draft what we think will be the best games of the year! Fantasy Critic is essentially Fantasy Football for video games, where each player (publisher) drafts a team of games and the review scores give or take away points, depending on how well they do. Join Nirav, Sarim, Jess, Kate, Tim and JP for some good natured competition, some ribbing, and some deadly game sniping. Check at Youtube.com/Gameluster for the video version of this so you can follow along! And make your own league at http://fantasycritic.games . Every week, Nirav, Alyssa, and a panel of self-proclaimed experts bring you game development deep dives, spoilercasts, Good Games Inc specials where we turn your audience suggestions into game ideas and much more!
