It's easy to rip on G4 right now. Almost two years after the network bought out the (somewhat) beloved TechTV and they slowly but surely eliminated every trace of the tech oriented network. They canceled The Screensavers, losing industry icons Patrick Norton and Leo Laporte and replaced them with Kevin Rose and Sarah Lane. They didn't last long as the show was re-branded and Kevin and Sarah both left. Kevin Rose went on to found Digg and become a paper millionaire and Sarah Lane married a co-worker and is now wondering the Earth.
The folks at G4 weren't done. They then killed off other quality tech shows like Call for Help and replaced them with crappy Fox castoffs and "The Man Show". They did make a few good move by buying the rights to Star Trek and Star Trek:The Next Generation but then crapped all over it with the "2.0" experience. The 2.0 refers to adding message tickers, stock symbols, and small factoids to the screen which making watching the show a nightmare.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
HMM... this is the 2nd article coming out concerning g4...
I wonder if they're even aware of how crappy they've become?? Does this stuff/articles ever get to them??
G4.
Sucks.
No save.
I would, hwoever, love a 24/7 Star Trek: TNG network, which is the only thing I bother checking out that channel for anymore.
And yes, "2.0" also sucks.
So stupid.
Sad to see a good station go down... Good job MTV for spreading your filth to other stations... Their is nothing on G4 anymore.. I use to watch it everyday now I dont even give it a second glance.. Only to see xplay and MOrgan Webb.... I think thats all the ratings the have is for people to see Adam and Morgan... HAHA I mean all it is is fox 2 now... Cops??? Wow I guess cops hase to do with something about gaming right?? Maybe they tackle a guy into a 360 or ps3 or something like that.. Cheaters and everything else.... soo sad Itll be a fine day when g4 gets ripped off the Air Waves and wonders what happen.... Kevin Olivia will probably never see a camera again unless they get in the way of Morgan and Adam LOL. Just look what happen to flo... and the white haired girl.. Thug I totally forgot their names.... LOL
Get over it geeks, G4 cannot survive with geek viewers only, because in the TV world, it's all about ratings. That's why they had to evolve into something different.
If the original TechTV was so hot and great, then why did they had to sellout to begin with?
What happen to pulse, Blister, g4tv, Judgement day and many other classics.They hijacked G4TV!!! for crying out loud!!!! Watch this guys!!! This is a tribute to all the cancellation shows of G4TV. The memories of a channel that died.
