I get wanting to have certain shows back but I don't think it's a great idea to brng back the same people. I would like G4 to improve instead of cribbing on stagnate ideas.

IGN: G4 is Coming back in 2021
- Thread starter Red XIII
- Start date
G4 was never my thing. I was in college/early career all about tech and gaming - yet even back then I thought it was a bit condescending and often times pure cringe. I did enjoys Icons - but there are a thousand podcasts and youtube channels that execute that better these days.
This was the first thing I thought of.
From Google Images:
9 years later is crazy.
You're a legend for that. I still remember a comment about you having a post-it-note on your monitor to remind you to comment when they died.
Justin hasn't been proven wrong. Since Nintendo's still in the hardware market. Even so they still died already and left the TV market. In fact Justin has the very probable opportunity to be right twice.
It's a shame he can't bump that thread a second time if it happens.
I'm glad you guys got some laughs out of it. To be honest, I was half-expecting to be banned when I bumped the thread.This was the first thing I thought of.

Huh. That explains the Pong part of the teaser.
Anyway, this is a crazy idea, and I'm not interested.

Probably would've been excited for this if I didn't learn Sessler was a transphobic scumbag these days.
I'm curious to see how this revival turns out, in many ways G4 as ahead of it's time with content in the pre-youtube/streaming era. But will modern audiences really care about an old TV channel brand that hasn't been relevant in a decade? I wonder what kind of content they have in mind to attract viewers that never watched (or even heard of) the original cable channel.
Cable TV was a dead platform that killed G4 to begin with. There's a 0% chance they're going that route.
The landscape is so different. I can't imagine a world where g4 exists. Silly sketches? How many YouTubers put those out every hour? 24/7 news? Refresh any gaming aggregate site like this one.
It's pretty much Comcast going oops we had a huge foot in the door but we fucked up And now we See Google and Amazon have this young viewership we want.
Just waiting for Morgan Webb and to see who is going to be on the Attack of the Show crew then I'm set. Also, they'd better bring back Cinematech.
It's the pet project of some Comcast exec's bored rich son I think
If they're not on YouTube (with proper five minute videos) they're screwed.
That Venn channel uploads 48 minute videos. Why? I don't know.

I hope they enlist some of the of the previous G4 folk to help produce new content / reboots of shows, but get new talent and hosts. I wouldn't mind seeing Kevin or Morgan, et al, once in a while (or especially have Kevin be the lead producer for AotS), but they're going to need fresh faces and personalities for it to last and connect with a new, younger audience.
Though I expect them to be hocking a lot of merch. They know plenty of fans who were broke in 2007/2008 now have plenty of money to casually spend on themselves and their kids.

I did a commercial for G4 in 2002 filmed at E3. I only ever saw it once. Itbwas me and my brother talking about fights we had whike playing Muscle on the NES. I think they called it brotherly love. I would love to see it again. I could never find it online.
Definitely Kevin needs to be involved somehow. He gets pop-culture/gaming whilst understanding how silly and crazy the culture is. And has experience on a big set obviously as producer/host.
I don't like the idea of just having new faces because gaming is some "young persons medium". Like they're is no need. Have veterans in the media/gaming industry and new faces.
And hopefully less 2000s circa college exploit shenanigans.
Only commercial I remember, that still plays in my head to this day during E3
Yea, that's fair. And now that I think about it more a better idea.
Hope Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira come back so he can constantly talk over her like an asshole
Wait, what? Aw damn, that's really disappointing...
Replace him with Tommy Tallarico or the other guy who did Judgment Day with him.
I stopped watching after g4 merged with cnet and added shows like xplay and aots. I only enjoyed that channel for game trailers and that guy who RPed in mmos.
