We're currently in the planning stages of our new podcast, and we're looking for input from the community! We want to know - what would you like to see for 4Pcast? Any specific type of discussion? Would you like to be a part of the podcast? Let us know any suggestions or comments you have for 4Pcast here, and stay tuned for more details!
I'd like to see the podcast guests (and hosts) give a little rundown of what games they've been playing "this" week. Just something to keep the community up to date on what the writers and guests are currently doing and whether they're even enjoying what they're playing so far.
That sounds awesome. Who are the hosts going to be and what are the guests going to be like? Will they be members or what? I also agree with klippy's statement above me.
We'll definitely be talking about things we're playing, sharing impressions, etc. Definitely going for a more personal feel rather than a "news report" type of show. And we'll likely be including 4P staff as well as various people from the community. So if anyone is interested in joining the podcast crew, just let us know.
I wouldn't try for too much of a relaxed feel. The GoNintendo podcast is totally goofball and entertaining the first couple of times you listen. But the appeal drains away pretty quick since you're basically listening in a crack conversation among close friends - you're not part of the gang and you don't get the jokes.
On the contrary, those are the kinds I like. But I become a fangirl over personalities pretty easily. :/ Anything too strict/stuffy would just sound like a newscast and if I'm just listening to straight news, I'd rather read it so I can take it in faster and move on to something else.
I'm thinking we could just briefly go over the more important bits of that week's news. Does that sound good?
Yeah, big things like AAA titles being announced/released and big things like console news, sales records, DLC etc
