Opens up with a badly green-screened Adam Sessler basically saying "I don't like these kinds of games so I didn't play it", then tosses it over to someone on an even worse green screen who claims to have played the game on a "Ferrari" PC, all while half the gameplay footage has noticeable lag and jumps between 720p-1080p

The entire review is just someone describing the basic mechanics of the series and towards the end of the review they shoehorn a "Let's Go Brandon" reference in without even trying to turn it into a joke.

What is G4
A cable television channel in the 2000s that had a lot of gaming and tech shows; some of them genuinely being great for the time. They did absolutely nothing to change once people started using the internet to follow industry news and gaming video content, and ended up airing reruns of Cops and Cheaters until the channel got taken off the air.

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, NBCUniversal is reviving the brand with its original hosts (now in their 40s) and over-the-hill Millennial streamers and online personalities.

Downvotes are just slightly less effective upvotes, they give the video interaction which is what matters.

I don't like the webcam/podcast look. I need them in a studio with a couch, just like the old days. And this feels weird (or wrong) without the Webbster, but I'll give it a chance.

The entire reason this channel failed, forgetting their screw up after acquiring Tech TV, was because people only cared about the clips of Olivia and what not, didn't watch the show on TV, consumed it all online, and the network turned into 24 hours of Cheaters and Cops....Why do they think now, with a bigger emphasis on streaming, it'll do better?

I was part of the channel's target demo and I actually liked most of their content. Loved X-Play, Cinematech, AOTS and other shows. Their problem was that they didn't prepare for people in the tech/gaming community to switch to the internet for their news and video content and they didn't do anything about it.

The only reason to have watched G4 after a certain point was their E3 coverage.

If your wanting her to come back your part of the problem. She was useless in the original G4. Periera did all the work, meanwhile she managed to piss off David Jaffe during an actual interview for Twisted Metal Black at E3, by asking him about his penis size. He was so pissed off that they got Morgan Webb to finish off the interview on his request.

I get having fun, there were plenty of women on that channel that were fun, but you need to know how to do your job as well. Meanwhile, Leo Laporte, and the 2 original hosts of Screen Savers which Attack of the Show was a sequel to, Adam Rose and Alex Albright, were forced out of the channel. The 3 people that helped build it since its inception.

I never cared about the clips of Olivia. G4 had shows that I legitimately found entertaining:
X-Play
Attack of the Show
Electric Playground
Cinematech
Code Monkeys
Ninja Warrior
Unbeatable Banzuke

Their E3 coverage was also great.

There's not a lot of situations where I can see this succeeding. Focusing on online runs the risk of oversaturation, but focusing on TV is a disaster because their demo doesn't even watch cable anymore.

She almost got fired after she literally offered to perform sex acts on random fans and got the network in trouble with sponsors. NBCUniversal tried to memory hole it but there's a potato quality video taken when that AOTS episode aired.

The only noticeable star they have is Xavier Woods who's only part of it due to contractual obligations with NBC/WWE but even then, WWE's fans are either too young to give a shit about TV or too old to give a shit about video games.

It's a sin that it isn't on Peacock but IIRC a lot of G4's video library was deleted.
