Interesting.
A streaming G4 channel could work, I still think this might be in response to Venn Though.
Hey, so I worked on Cinematech and NE in 2005-2006, and curious you want more montages, weird little minute gameplay "skits", just long form trailers/cinematics, or what? What did you like about Cinematech? Curious
WEIRDO!!!! LOL. wonder where portal dave ended up.
All of it really.
Do you know how theres those lo-fi beat study streams?
Cinematech felt kind of like the video game version of that, something you could put on the background while you work on something else, while also possibly being exposed to something new, weird, and/or interesting in a medium you enjoy.
The lack of any narrator and the randomness of what might pop up next, even in the themed episodes, helped contribute towards that feeling quite a bit imo
You might glance up and see a cutscene from a game that you've never played but are now interested in, you might see the ending of a game you put 100 hours into and are reminded of the time it took you to see the same, or you might see a mosquito flying around a Japanese home trying to suck the blood of its inhabitants at 3AM.
Such a great show 😂
In the end its going to be disappointing. Its telling they can't say much about what the fuck it even is.
Olivia coming back would be like getting ... I have nothing to compare it to honestly. I just don't see it happening.
I don't think they can afford that.i can only imagine they're gonna give a bunch of Twitch streamers and gaming yt peeps tv shows... Pewds and Ninja are probably getting their own shows, for sure. LOL
I was only 8 in early 2005 when I started watching G4 and I remember Cinematech was one of the first shows that grabbed me. I was still very much in my pure enthusiast phase of gaming where I just got excited whenever I would see clips or screens of a game anywhere. This was doubly the case here where I had not really discovered the internet yet, and the idea of seeing all these games on my primary entertainment mode, television, was very appealing and novel to me. I didn't know or care about the industry or news or any of that, I just wanted to see the games, and Cinematech was a great way of providing me what I wanted. I probably didn't appreciate the skill and artistry that went into each episode, but it was always an engaging way of exposing me to the wider world of games at the time and possibly helped further my love for the medium.Hey, so I worked on Cinematech and NE in 2005-2006, and curious you want more montages, weird little minute gameplay "skits", just long form trailers/cinematics, or what?

Cops was cancelled earlier this year. If G4 comes back, they won't be airing it.I feel like it would be an unsound strategy to bring back the Cops channel after what's happened this year.
To be real, though, I think I only miss Morgan and Adam doing X-Play. I don't care to see any other shows.
Yeah I think this will be a Peacock thing.A G4 "channel" on a steaming app, like IGN's on Pluto TV, probably makes a lot of sense.
In the end, G4 was owned by NBCUniversal, right? Peacock has "live" channels, maybe a G4 relaunch will happen there.
I like old G4, but some of that old stuff works better if you leave it in the past. Something like Sensitive Sess is best rewatched on YouTube every 6 months or so when you can laugh and go, oh boy it's good we don't do that anymore.I kinda just want this to be a rebroadcasting of all their old content with nothing new, just for the sake of having high quality archives made by people as a lot of the archives on YouTube were recorded off cable in shoddy quality. Then again, I'd be surprised if the company kept the tapes.
Fine, your "bets" would just be horrible financial investments.

With that said, "Pokemon? This is Yu-Gi-Oh town motherfucker!" is an all-time quote.Yeah, a relaunched G4 can still be wacky and silly but what is acceptable for comedy has certainly changed since the network died.
I don't think we'll be seeing Sara Underwood cosplay as Bustice again. Heh.
Bring back the World of Warcraft episode of CHEAT and only that episode.
It sounds like they have Comcast money behind this, I'm sure they're just fine.
This was a joke.Cops was cancelled earlier this year. If G4 comes back, they won't be airing it.
How so?I remember watching this a lot with a friend in high school. Mostly wasn't that great to me since it largely ignored Nintendo content but it has a certain nostalgia.

My original point was, like I already saidYes, but in that same segment, Adam Sessler calls Pokemon "For Retarded Children". So y'know.
I mean, how much do you think Ninja would cost compared to paying many lesser known people to doing a show?

Maybe my memory is faulty. I only watched it when visiting my friend (didn't have cable) but I remember thinking that there was very little Nintendo content. I feel like it was during the Nintendo is kiddy phase the gaming community went through but maybe I'm misremembering.
Did they say it's coming back to cable? Seems like the content they were producing was a little ahead of it's time and ended up not really fit for cable television.
I don't know why you think that, but all right.He already got the bag from Microsoft, I'm sure he would only ask for a few mill to do G4.
