Been watching their twitch streams since Will Neff joined. Pretty excited to see their new shows.
Damn, Will getting paid? I remember watching him early last year with like less than a 1,000 viewers.

That's what it sounds like but their press release could probably be a bit more clear.

My assumption is that AotS and X-Play (for example) will stream on Twitch and be on television. Would be weird otherwise.
I was wondering what was going to come out of this. Didn't expect it to come back as a tv channel, but twitch is the only way it makes sense this day and age. Hopefully it fares better this time and doesn't become a dumping ground for Cops/Cheaters reruns again.
There are tons of old episodes of EP posted on their YouTube channel.
I feel pretty content on the way I consume video game coverage nowadays, so honestly might not check out the new shows the same way I did back in the 2000s.
But I remember someone saying they're going to start translating Ninja Warrior again, and if that's the case, then I'm very looking forward to that.

And this is what I'm waiting for, too.
Only thing I really missed about G4 after a while was watching the various Sasuke seasons on a regular basis. Oh, and maybe Cinematech.
I'm guessing at the least the way commercials are handled would have to be different.
Ah yes... We definitely need both Adam Sessler and Tommy Tallarico in the same spot....
🤮🤮🤮
I loved TechTV and always resented G4 for taking it away from me, lol.
Hyped! Love the Sess and Kev, dope they got Completionist and Black Hokage on board too: gonna be good times.
He's been promoting it on Twitter so I assume a lot. He's back on Xplay and they have a studio for him. Which is really a bummer, because otherwise I would be looking forward to this.
If it's the instance that I'm aware of, he attacked a trans person on Twitter. And a bunch of other journalists jumped in to tell him to chill the fuck out, which he did not do.
Per Sessler, the cable stream will be a condensed version of the Twitch content. Highlights and such.

That's interesting. So I suppose they would be live on Twitch and then quickly edited down to the version that would air on TV... the same day?
Yeah, I think. Probably a lot of canned footage that would be the same on both, but like the let's plays, etc would be cut down to fit cable better. That's my guess.
If the full shows are on Twitch I will watch. No cable here and no plans to ever get it, so if it is more than just lets plays on Twitch that would be nice.
Unfortunately (/s) you'll have to go to Fox Nation for the exclusive home of Cops. Found out that deal was a thing a couple of days.
Oh top of what the other poster said, on the current YouTube channel where they have been producing new content that I assume is meant as something of a preview of the actual channel, Sessler has been heavily featured and has been doing solo reviews. Over half that stuff features him in some way. So he's definitely involved heavily
I'm conflicted. I loved G4 back in the day and admittedly am really interested in it coming back (the lineup looks pretty solid), but I'm also really fucking disappointed that Sessler is involved after his tirade last year. He hasn't said a word about it since then, and it's damning.
I'll probably check it out, but that definitely dampens my enthusiasm a lot, and makes me less likely to stick with it in the long run.
