Support NeoGAF

[Jubenhimer]

There's a new G4 coming, and its called VENN (Video Game Entertainment & News Network). It'll be availible on both linear TV and Streaming platforms.

VENN wants to re-create the magic of G4TV but with YouTube and Twitch stars

Imagine if G4TV launched today, but with Twitch and YouTube stars — and that’s VENN.

So... Yay?

What's the point, these people are already on Youtube and Twitch

 

[softwarepagan]

I personally am very excited for this. A successor to G4 has all of my support.

Sorry, YouTube is better for games now... You can get 4k60 on it, TV no.

Bring back Cinematech

There's nothing like G4 on YouTube right now. TV isn't just "content." I'd rather not just poke around for short videos on YouTube or streams on Twitch. With TV you can just get blocks of programming without having to worry about choosing short videos. I don't understand how people think this is a good substitute for TV.

Lol yeah, that was some time before G4 hit its stride.

But who will lick and deep throat all the tech?

In a perfect world it would still be Olivia Munn

However, as long as it's someone equally as attractive I'm fine

From the new trailer:

"Get started on your fitness journey"

Cool perpetuating the idea that gamers are fat and unhealthy on a gamer centered channel. I hope this crashes and burns.

 

[softwarepagan]

Everyone could use some more exercise. It's a net good.

G4 sucked, TechTV was where it was at. Screensavers and Call for Help were so good, Cinematech and that other one with docs about game industry topics were also pretty decent watches. Xplay was a review show so you watched it but I also watched EP back in the day, you didn't have a lot of options for that kind of stuff like you do now.

Unscrewed with Martin Sargent was my favourite by a mile, such a crazy awesome show.

Call for Help

I see you're a man of fine taste. I caught G4 at the tail end of it, but Call for Help/Lab with Leo were easily my favorite things on there.

It's not a bad idea on paper, but it seems like it's already going to be too sanitized/fake.

 

[softwarepagan]

Honestly, as soon as I learned G4 was coming back, my interest in VENN dropped dramatically. However, more gaming on TV is a good thing and I'll support both for the time being.

 

[Esca]

I'm all for it. It will be good background for when doing other things. I do that with GameSpot steam channel.

 

[KiNeMz]

Lol. Reminds me of Bruno.

Is this an add for Watchdogs Legion?
