So we get to have Morgan Web blithering like a fucking moron that the Killzone 3 trailer was realtime gameplay, ad nauseum, to the detriment of the remainder of their coverage? rock on. :lol

Just kidding. It should be nice to see the MGS4 trailer without shaky-cam compression. :)

Believe me, I wanted to knock the shit out of her during E3, when Matt was like, I don't think it's realtime. She's like, oh yeah, it's real time.
 
How can it possibly take 2 weeks to prepare coverage of this event? I guess they need time to write up all the stupid skits and crap.

Being there, shooting it, coming back, going through all the footage, editing it, and assembling it into a show takes approximately two weeks total for an hour-long show. There are no skits in the TGS show, that's just how long it takes.

Those asking for live coverage of TGS in America are going to be eternally disappointed. The cost would be astronomical and the time difference makes it useless to an American audience anyway.

That's my conclusion, and as far as I'm concerned, it's just not a "G4 Special" without the dumbass skits and corny monologues. I thought after E3 G4 was going to show people they would take these event more seriously, but this is the same old crap. Just a bunch of flashy half-hour summaries way after the fact, talk about lame.

The E3 coverage is the template for the TGS special, and it is an hour in length. As stated not three posts ago in the thread, there are no skits in it.

Damn, I was really hoping Johnny Extreme would pitch his game to Japanese Developers. That would be even better. From one TV guy to another, that would ROCK. Johnny pitching a game about rocket launchers that shoot chainsaws to Japanese developers... priceless. Anyway, I noticed Kevin p wasn't on AOTS today (which is on now) and man is it a snoozer without him.

KP is in Tokyo for TGS.

Alright, if you say so.

Johnny Extreme and that foul-mouthed puppet are like the only redeemable things to come from G4's attempts at comedy. That fat bald dude is pretty funny too though, he needs his own show.

Do you happen to know who does the voice for the puppet? I heard a rumor it's actually Adam.
 
I always figured it was just one of their staff members doing that voice. Had no idea that might be Adam as low pitched as his voice is, I'm sure shocked if it is.
