>sites like IGN
except IGN was a contemporary of G4 for a long time back when people took IGN seriously

It's pretty funny looking back that they had that show Arena which was basically esports tournaments for various games before esports was even a thing. I loved that show, it was way more entertaining than modern cancerous esports too, ironically enough.

WITH BIG WARM FUZZY SECRET HEART

Truly a great channel! Thank you Go! Go! Tokyo! for teaching me about boy love and Tokyo Game Show. There's no recording or any clips. WHY!?

Adam is a huge faggot so no.

Cinematecs gameplay of Jojo Heritage for the future got me into reading the series back in 2005 when all there was was shitty Chinese Duwang translation, but I fucking fell in love. That is only G4 memory I remember with extreme joy

>cinematech

Underage detected

I've never understood why Arena never took off. Didn't take itself too seriously, had a good variety of games. They would go play SOCOM 2, to Call of Duty UO, to Mario Kart

Fuck I miss watching portal and chilling out to cinematech because I didn't have very many consoles growing up.

Shame most of it was scripted or when they started forcing interns to play with the only payment being pizza.

It ran out of money and was mismanaged into the fucking ground, much like the rest of the channel.

Yes, but it has grown a lot since then and functions similarly to how G4 did with its live coverage of E3, Comic Con, PAX, Gamescom, etc. G4 died because it couldn't compete with the rising internet gaming sites back then and it definitely couldn't now if someone wanted to bring it back.

I LOVE YOU WHORES!

>Cheat! with Cory Rouse
A surprisingly charismatic host, and often a very helpful show.
>Filter with Diane Mizota
Don't know if she was into vidya at all, but she had great presentation, and was leagues better than the roastie that replaced her.
>Icons
Fairly informative, albeit lacking some details due to the short runtime.
>Cinematech
Somehow entertaining despite it just being clips of trailers and gameplay. Oddly relaxing.
>Judgment Day
Tommy Victor were very entertaining hosts, even if they had some clear biases at times. The sidebars they took to focus on reviewing older games were nice, too.
>Electric Playground
Similar case to Judgment Day. since its cast had a couple of the same hosts. Informative on gaming news and whatnot.
>Portal
A somewhat clever idea in linking a bunch of MMOs at the time together into a storyline-based comedy show. Anarchy Online, EverQuest, The Sims Online, Second Life, etc. all interacting in some manner was kinda neat. Don't know if the humor would hold up now, but I remember liking it at the time. Also The Drifter was kino.

Also, fuck Kevin Pereira.

This unless they are willing to bother with internet webisodes or something there's no profit to gain from tv.

Arena was really cool on the G4 side and Extended Play, Screen Savers, and Call for Help was great on the TechTV side.

My nigga I liked Cory more than Kristin the guy was just so damn endearing.

At least I got introduced to Arrested Development from G4

It had fucking Wesley from Star Trek who said the management sucked but I only really watched it when the buff dude took over

One thing I really miss about G4tv was the neat bumpers, station IDs and commercials they had some of my personal favorites where random folks telling their video game experiences.

I asked this in the last thread but didn't get an answer, but are there any archives of X-Play, specifically the skits? I'd love to go back and see how some of them hold up, and Youtube only has so many of them.
Also I'd love to see some of the reviews they treated like a joke, like SXX Blur.

But G4 sucked dick, most of it's content was crap, it was Tech Tv that was the real geek/gamer channel but they got bought out by G4 and then dragged it all down.

Early G4 felt a lot like video game magazines in the late 90s and 2000s where everyone actually seemed to enjoy the hobby and not give a shit about pandering to a wider audience or women.

ON THE X-PLAY BOARDS

youtube.com/watch?v=0HXgqk1htSY

Review kino

Except half their staff and hosts were super hot women. And Morgan Webb, waifu prime, was probably in the top 3 of the actual biggest nerds working for the channel. It always blew my mind that a woman like that actually was into game. One of my earliest, and most frequent, faps back in the day.

Their star trek with fan messages in the back was pretty cool

No offense but when you're a 12 year old boy, tech news and shit is way less interesting than a channel just about video games

I remember pulling an all nighter on the G4 boards a few times as a kid. Most memorable one was when I sat in their chat room all night until I had to go to school that morning and then I fell asleep in like three of my classes because of it.

I forgot about that. That was really neat.

This. Aside from Battlebots, I didn't care about the tech side very much, I just wanted the shows about games and the hot girls on them. I had a friend who was autistically into the TechTV shows back then though. He actually liked Call For Help and The Screensavers (before it turned into Attack of the Show, which I did like) which in my opinion were snoozefests.

I dont get how they screwed it up so hard
If they can make a 24/7 channel work around fuckin GOLF I think they could have made a gaming channel work if they actually knew what they were doing.

Gaming wasn't anywhere near as ubiquitous as today when g4 existed.
Also none of the execs behind g4 cared about it being sustainable, it wasn't super profitable, but syndicated garbage cost almost nothing to license, and people watched it more than their original programming. So the solution was obvious. pump more and more syndicated garbage in until it stopped working.
which is what they did.

Tommy Tallarico's absolute obsession with sound design will never not be hilarious to me.
He owns the Intellevision brand and the rights to all of it's games now, which is odd.

The rise of the internet and various gaming websites getting bigger and more ambitious with their own content killed G4. G4 couldn't compete. Their target demographic of teenagers and young 20-somethings were outgrowing their juvenile, immature antics on shows like AotS and Code Monkeys and they couldn't adapt fast enough to keep up with trends or their maturing audience. Also, our generation and those that followed don't really watch that much TV, we play games and use the internet. Golf is for old people who still view TV as the primary form of media besides print. A gaming channel would never succeed nowadays (just like how gaming magazines no longer exist either), not with Twitch and YouTube already covering it on the platform that modern teens use as their primary form of media.

NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW

If only they were smart and realized the internet was the future

Although, people make enough video game content online nowadays to fill the void even if you have to sift through twitch thots, children bait channels, and streamwhores to find them

i always liked the show, except for the last 2 episodes, where they upped Dave's douchiness to astronomical levels.

the whole 'manipulate Jerry into thinking he fucked over everyone when drunk and that everyone despises him, just so Dave could get from him a ticket he earned fair and square' must be the most disgusting i hve ever seen in tv at the time, at least before watching southpark and discovering the Apex asshole known as Cartman.

They stopped bothering to try having original content because no one watched it, because everyone was online already.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Nor do a lot of people in this thread.

The Internet wasn't any less popular back when G4 was still on the air than it is now. Seriously, you zoomers need to fuck off.

Agreed

Imagine only having gaming magazines and thinking the game looks interesting. And then you see it in motion here and laugh your ass off. X-Play was a treasure before everyone got internet fast enough to stream

You're obviously the zoomer here if you think the internet back in 2000-2005 was ANYTHING like it is today, because it sure as fuck wasn't.

No one is saying the internet wasn't popular. But you generally couldn't get good video content for games back then unless you wanted to fucking wait hours for a low quality video to download or an even shittier lower quality video streaming from flash or shockwave that turned your computer into a slow piece of shit before Youtube became a thing.

I really miss having a channel dedicated to games and niche culture in general, wish there was one now, but more the style of like CNN or ESPN where almost everything is live and constant content.

Maybe whoever owns the the rights to the network is testing the waters for a revival? More likely though that it's just one nostalgiafag who really wants to keep talking about it since these threads are usually comfy

This anime is pure gold

I don't see how it could be profitable in today's media environment. It'd die an immediate and ignoble death if it goes back to broadcast TV. It's going against fucking industry titans like Youtube Gaming and Twitch if it goes the subscription streaming route. If it marries itself to one single platform (think mixxer on xbone) then it's also dead. As stated earlier in the thread, G4/TechTV were absolutely products of their time and trying to bring it to current year would be like bringing a deep sea fish up to shallow waters.

I think part of what makes me sad about something like X-Play's passing is that it reminds me of the sense of wonder I had during an era of experimentation in gaming in general. The humor was cheesy, but every time I watched new games on G4 as a kid I was seeing creative ideas and innovations. Every game could be a surprise for better or for worse.

Now outside of indie devs and a few Japanese developers I don't feel like we have that anymore. It's just bitter nerds like me complaining about how this year was more bland than last year's.

I was born in the early 90's. Society and people in general were better growing up. I especially saw this seeing how my parents interacted with the community and those around them. People still helped each other, they cared about random strangers. Thats pretty much gone now.

9/11 changed things. The world got darker that day and things seemed to accelerate from then on as shit got worse and worse. Then around 2011-2012 shit just went off the rails completely.

What kills me is the amount of homeless people in the fucking streets. Rent is so expensive now, I don't know how people do it. The amount of people sleeping on the streets and tent cities has skyrocketed. The city I grew up loving is fucking disgusting now.

Everything has gotten worse. I legitimately don't understand how there are people who think things have never been better. Its getting harder and harder to fake it, I don't know anymore bro

I bought Katamari Damacy because it was exposed to me through either X-Play or Judgement Day (I forget which).

Pretty much once the 360 and PS3 hit, we saw a little creativity early on but quickly it died and everyone started going after the same trends and stopped innovating.

I honestly feel bad for your generation, your entire culture is just borrowed shit from the 90s and 80s and an absolute fuckton of cynicism and hatred.
I ESPECIALLY feel bad for any boys under the age of 15, since everything nowadays is catered towards girls, faggots, and manchildren who want to be little girls, so young boys have pretty much nothing to latch on to and enjoy aside from fucking ecelebs.

The advancement in technology made video games more mainstream. The normies really liked first person shooters, so most companies were banking on them. We're going through another one right now with battle royales.

The modern industry's a double-edged sword, because services like Steam have allowed a lot of gems to come to the surface from teams that never would have existed back in the day. Hollow Knight, Hat in Time, Supergiant Games, etc.

And even creative titles that failed the first time around, like Psychonauts or Beyond Good and Evil can get a second chance through the word of mouth of the internet.

But Triple A Publishers have hit a creative standstill with the absurd growth of manipulative multiplayer games and loot box bullshit that desperately clamors after the latest trend with younger and more impressionable players. We just have to wait for the bottom of the bag to fall out and hope that the next direction they take isn't so bloated and self-indulgent. Make smaller games again and try something niche.

Really though, these threads always clearly show the people with nostalgia for G4 were in their early to mid teens at the time usually. Normally too young to really have disposable income, so the more expensive hobbies and products you'd see on TechTV were generally out of reach of a lot of people, I think. Video games and dumb juvenile humor though were a lot more accessible and relevant.
It feels like the G4 crowd was probably 5-10 years younger than TechTVs whenever the G4 vs TechTV argument comes up or salty TechTV viewers say the merger was all G4s fault etc.

The merger happened because both channels were in danger of dying because they were both niche only for younger to middle aged males. That said, they should have gone back to appealing to tech instead of fucking Spike TV lite

There's no way it would still be around, don't delude yourself. Also, I don't know why this "TechTV was better than G4" meme persists when ALL of the shows people remember were from the G4 side of it even before the merger.

Golf is extremely popular with the demographic who still pays for cable. G4/TTV existed as a very niche channel that you only got in the higher cable packages. Beyond that the poor management and refusal to adapt killed them.

No, it was literally on the same basic tiers like mtv, bet, spike, cnn, tbs etc..

The v_watches cytube deals with mostly just what G4 episodes were uploaded to YouTube, but there's no reason someone couldn't make a cytube of all of what you described, the playlists run 24/7. You could also make a YouTube playlist and make a Rabbit channel that plays said YouTube playlist I guess but that service has been going through some shitty changes to how rooms/control works.

The sad truth, remember buying cheat code books at the scholastic book sales then using them in all the games I owned. Even remember one day waking up and turning on Cheat and noting down cheats, feelsbadman

>I can't enjoy anything except when it's ironic

the part about cynicism and hatred

The show that got me interested in WoW, which I have now played for over half my life, against my better judgement.

I remember their review for that shit game, kek. Was one of their funniest ones.

Which review was that?

I had a friend that was on Arena. He said all he did was sit around and eat pizza for hours and by the time it was time to play he just wanted to go home.

Games becoming as hand holdy as they are probably contributed a bit. Who needs a guide or a show giving you hints for something that stumped you when everything is a linear hallway with questmarkers.

ill tell you how it is: everybody is fucking aritificial and they all joke about offing themselves and talk about how anxious and depressed teens they are
while they browse instagram and degrade their self image even further

Inside Gaming daily got revived, which I'm happy about because it's like it was killed, became a zombie, which was also partially grafted into some other host (the know), was then absorbed into the host, had a pseudo revival (what ever news shit was happening on Funhaus), and then literally ate its host and took over.

Not at all. It's a goddamn shame it had to be Fallout they stooped this low with though. Even if it was obvious they were heading this direction with it from the start, it's just sad.

>The Internet wasn't any less popular back when G4 was still on the air than it is now. Seriously, you zoomers need to fuck off.
It's true that gaming was less ubiquitous back then, though. Or rather, it was less mainstream. Around 2007, gaming became more of a normie hobby, which resulted in an influx of bros into the gaming world. That's probably part of the reason why G4 tried to become Bro TV.

Regular online functionality and achievements might have played a role. Since people like to show off gamer score and do buy games just for that, they don't want to include a feature (even an optional one) that would prevent them from getting them? And with online functionality that carries over singleplayer progression being more common that just makes them undesirable to work in. Some of it has become DLC just like traditional Unlocks (costumes etc) have, though. Developers are more insistent that their games are "experiences" now too so being able to fuck around or use a cheat to breeze through something they designed and intended you to play and get specific emotions or "challenge" from.

Cinematch was art. Imagine, somebody has to watch loads of gameplay clips, stitch them together to make it interesting, find appropriate music for when they didn't play the soundtrack and just hope the footage of the game was enough to carry the show, no dialogue, sometimes fast edited jokes, but just pure gameplay

I never thought I'd long for the fucking days of over 9000 and longcat, but goddamn, things really have changed.

Remember how much X-Play bashed anime and got the weebs assblasted?

>it can't compete with people simply looking up what they want to see on youtube
That's the thing, though. On Youtube, you have to look it up, so you have to know exactly what to look for. When you watched X-Play or something, they might do something you weren't necessarily looking for but still enjoyed watching. Watching a show can be more relaxing and comfy than looking things up, because you don't have to actively search for stuff. You can just sit back and see what they come up with. It's a different experience.

Don't forget when she was on American Idol.

And Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general

X-Play was retarded when it came to weeb games. They reviewed all three versions of Persona 3 but gave one version passes on shit they hated in the other two.

I was about nine, maybe ten when I first saw this:

Basically, if it was from Japan and acted very Japanese, it would be the subject to ridicule.

i believe its due to the largely online focus of most games, even in single player what with stat tracking, achievement tracking, what have you.

cheats began as helpful tools for developers testing their game. as that phased out, they survived off of quirk alone. today there just isn't a demand for cheats for the sake of fun so for the most part they're not included

that said, plenty of games still have cheats in some form

but definitely not this. what you're saying doesn't even make sense.

Yeah, it's sad what happened to the Fallout name, but I'm glad that 76 basically had a swift and all-encompassing death, rather than some spitefully half-successful mess that milked just enough cash out of die-hard fans to justify having more projects follow in its footsteps.

Truly a foundational pillar for my development into adulthood.

Product of its time, nigga. It was aimed at Teens-Early Twenties of ~2005.
The problem with the RandumxD humor type shit comes from people still using it today or through the a lens older than that Teens-Early Twenties past.
I do wince fairly often now watching old Xplay episodes, but back when I was a kid that shit was entertaining and funny. You don't have to retroactively change your opinion on past experiences to fit how you feel about shit now.

You know something, I really miss the sort of real in your face style of techtv like look at their clothes and the sets.

The episode where they showcased a female Gnome who was the first/one of the first to figure out how/actually get the mounts of other races on one character?
That's always lingered in my memory and I don't know why.

That's fair, but now people have subscriptions to their preferred internet reviewers for that sort of thing. They can just watch what's up next in their feed.

It still feels different than watching a show. Yeah, you can have a bunch of Youtube videos in a playlist or whatever, but they're still separate and isolated from each other. A TV episode could have running jokes or references to stuff that happened earlier.

It's kind of hard to describe, but for me at least, watching something on the Internet and watching something on TV just feel really different. I've never gotten the same comfy feeling from watching Internet reviews that I did from watching X-Play.

You’re one sounding like the zoomer here.

What kille G4 was any hack being able to get up and talk about video games on youtube. Pre-Youtube video content was pretty trash, only in rare instances was there anything worthwhile.

At this point it wasn’t even common to have a webcam. YouTube sealed the deal for G4. The internet in the mid 00s becoming more accessible to normal folk and then having a reason to spend more time there (online store fronts finally getting decent and more accessible, social media, more people on broadband, sites like youtube that made uploading, watching, and streaming video more accessible).

Most people didn’t have an interest in G4 when it was just gaming and tech shit, hence the syndicated shit like Cheaters, and Cops.

And that tech forward and gaming audience tends to be early adopters of the next thing.

I just don't trust any part of the modern entertainment industry to do anything right.

>replying to a post that's two hours long
if they had a couple netflix ongoing series under the g4 label or made a youtube channel, it could work. they'd be competing with established vidya tubers like dunkey, escapist and all the smaller channels like raycevik, jim sterling and skidonic. they'd also do well to cover other niches like anime, manga, and comics.

reddit spacing. honestly, Escapist basically does this already with their tube channel, even though i haven't watched too much other than ZP. youtube is basically a proxy g4 once you've collected the channels you like watching. i enjoy knowing every wednesday i get a zp vid, skidonic (an underated tuber) is getting pretty consistent, raycevick puts together very well thought out videos. the only disadvantage to these decentralized vidya programs is that the authors aren't in contact with each and there really isn't any chemistry between them like a channel like g4 would promote. If it could be managed to cover the bases that these independent channels do all in one channel while avoiding corporate interference, it would be pretty fucking solid.

Keep in mind, Disney XD tried to do this and failed because they couldn't compete with no TV content standards and the fact that they were trying to mostly do shows that followed the Let's Play trend. I imagine even with a G4 revival the same would happen, it'd be a hollow shell of its former self with no identity of its own except potential nostalgia pandering before it quietly died.

hot take: hbomberguy has talent in putting together an argument, if he wasn't such a fucking sperg and had better/more consistent taste in topics, he'd be alright. until then, just watch IHateEverything or something.

Yeah, it's something that didn't really occur to me until recently. I definitely had a couple of good friends in high school but, looking back, most of them were more trouble than they were worth, and there was a reason I almost subconsciously avoided them after graduating.

imagine those legs around you bros

A good chunk of that is just you growing up (speaking as someone born in '92); noticing more of the bad things in life is just normal.

Not all of it, of course; cost of living is definitely ridiculous, and social media definitely brought some of the worst parts of people into the public eye more. I'm sure it was always there, but the internet makes it far more noticeable, in particular seeming to encourage people to be far more volatile than they would actually be face-to-face.

imagine the smell inbetween.

These aged incredibly fucking well.

Says a lot about today's society when I think Sessler saying retard in this clip would probably offend more people than if he just dropped an f bomb

Yeah, and they took away the more laid-back parts of the set too, like the couch and bar. It was awful.

These lists were bullshit though

I mostly agree. Both shows were great, but the dichotomy between Tommy and Victor were more entertaining. They had some clear biases at times, but then again, so did X-Play. Plus, at least it was obvious when a bias arose.

I think Adam took the Sensitive Sess bit too far for too long

I always loved when their scores were completely different

Fuck Disney for killing off Jetix and making it into Disney XD. I'm still mad so many great shows will never be aired again because of them. youtube.com/watch?v=qg1Tcp5QiVw

Wow, does E3 even have booth babes anymore? I doubt it

Jetix was honestly amazing

Diane Mizota was great. She most likely wasn't into vidya, but she was a great presenter.

Also, seems to still be getting decent acting work according to IMDb, so good for her.

>The players don't look like any of the players
>You should be ashamed of yourself

>If you defend this, I'm gonna kick you in the dingus

That's one of the most memorable bits of the show to me. Along with the segment where Victor insisted the Polly Pocket game on the GBA was legitimately fun, and the Advent Rising review (which was one of the clear cases of bias, since Tommy did the sound design for it although admittedly, I really liked the game myself).

>To me, this is really half a game. I mean, maybe it is the *engine* of a good game, but let's finish the job, let's spend the money on the art, let's get the cool intros, lets get good music.

Ha ha. Yeah...

>Portal

Seriously I always try bringing up this G4 classic but nobody gives a shit. One of the best G4 shows of all time.

portal was the only good show on G4

I'm gonna have Cinematech playing on my computer until I fall asleep like the old days Yea Forums

I'm excited

I've never even played this visual novel and I feel sad now

Portal was one of the shows that stuck with me, probably in part because I had a fascination with MMOs in middle/high school. I thought it was pretty cool how it was a show that connected a bunch of MMOs at the time together into a shared multiverse, and had characters like the Drifter that went from game to game. It was honestly pretty clever.

Portal, and the greater G4, sparked my interest in a lot of vidya, MMOs being one of them, and it's a genre I played frequently from my early teens up until recently (I realized that, although the concept of them are neat, a big draw to them for me was that I either had friends I didn't see very often or had few friends to speak of, but MMOs allowed me to connect with people I wouldn't have otherwise, but that's now an obsolete concept to me; also, MMOs have taken a sharp downturn in quality and it's practically a dead genre outside of MMOlites and Eastern vidya).

Apex was such a dumb idea for a villain, but hilarious because of it.

God wish these games came stateside

I don't know who ran it so I can't answer that. But I don't think it's a stretch that they'd have a weeb on staff who could keep up on Japanese releases and trends for them that they heard about in their forum/hobby/chat circles. If they decided to run a risque block of cinematics and gameplay any type of research into Adult games would have led them to Japanese titles mostly back then too since you never really found many "A" rated games in the West or by Western devs. That's my theory on it anyway.

Seeing Sexy Beach (3 I think?) on it was my introduction to 'proper' (not newgrounds flash type shit) porn games, and I didn't even download it for several years later. I had Bible Black to fap to at the time instead.

Fuck, I was wondering where I first saw Cromartie High School. I think it was on their anime block at one point. One of the few anime shows my siblings would watch with me.

Are all of these anime worth watching?

>Gitaroo Man
My nigga, that's one of my strongest memories too. I'm 99% sure it was probably Cinamatech. I remember that it killed any and all interest I had in Parappa The Raper too.

Either TechTV or G4 was where I first saw Akira, too.

What the fuck? She's more beautiful than ever. Fucking Asian women man, aging backwards.

Yes, classics of the time

>X-Play still follows me on twitter to this day
Makes me depressed every time I think about it

I was thinking it was Cinematech but I wasn't sure. I still go through Parappa 1, 2, Lammy and Gitaroo Man every year or so with my old scores. Fun shit.
>Parappa The Raper
Hearty lol

I miss when games were just for average dudes

Why can't we go back

this thread and filled me with a nostalgia like no other

>I miss when games were just for average dudes
Now they're for average dudebros.

Thanks for the nostalgia user

This entire makes want to push out some primal scream from the bottom of my lungs. Looking at old vids of G4 shows and the vidya industry in general reminds of the good times , and the fact we are closer to shit than we are to sunshine, and it's gonna worse before it's better. Everything in this industry is so damn homogenized and cookie cutter that everything from games to the YT gaming personality all look and sound the same.

>still have a mouse pad signed by Kate Botello
I should go figure out where it is

Don't give up hope user. I used to hope a 2nd videogame crash in the west would maybe fix things and force developers to actually find core audiences instead of mass market appeal, but videogames are so homogenized and boring now I don't think it's gonna happen. For the moment, we still got Japanese games and maybe some indie games.

No, she was busy being passed around the G4 executives so she could get more promotions.
Annoying as hell and the worst part of the channel at the time.

Me too, user

is there an archive of any episodes of the shows? g4 was the coolest shit as a kid and really made me think videogames would continue to progress lol.

That was me when I found X-Play on Tech TV as a kid.

I would say Kevin Pereira was worse.

Not for us user, for the next generation maybe.

I remember when I used to think Sessler was based and funny. Then he started to open his mouth outside of the context of the show and showed himself to be a massive liberal faggot.

I still think a show like AOTS could work. Multiple hosts going over everything in tech with goofy segments or segments focused on a specific topic that reoccur every so often.

This, desu.

The internet was a different beast in that era, video content of any kind sucked ass, no one had servers that could handle large traffic for video content. If you wanted to watch a video you had to download it, and image heavy forums still had warnings for dial up connections.

Interaction was a lot better, precisely because managing a home network took enough skill to keep the average person out of it. I do miss it.

most of the ICONS episodes are on youtube.

anybody know where to find an archive of MXC episodes?
