X-Play has announced the winners of their Best of 2012 awards!
Talent allegedly showed up only to have programming cancelled.
If you've paid attention to what they've about since their resurrection, this is anything but a surprise. A shame to those who've lost gainful employment (of course), but this was destined to be a precarious setup from the start.
They were great at one point...but times have changed...
It's like comparing og youtubers to today's massive streamers. The internet and trends change very quick.
The comeback was cool at first, but then every video turned into a 45min+ podcast. And while i enjoy a podcast from time to time, not EVERY video needed to be that
The channel is finally being taken behind the shed.
Many memories as a kid. I wish there still was a Video Game channel
Sadly, G4 died a long time ago. Someone just finally decided to bury the corpse.
As one of the last writers at G4@Syfygames (the last vestige of their online games journalism), I felt this was coming for a while. I'm honestly surprised that it's taken this long, with how it was treated by the higher ups who own the channel.
Doesn't change the fact that it's a huge bummer though. :(
Network founder auctioning off personal memorabilia on eBay to raise money for charity.
Why only a video!? Text is so much faster.
Borderlands 2! good choice.
Congrats to Gearbox Software !
For the very last time. Farewell, G4! And good riddence.
These guys made Fable 2 there game of the year over Fallout 3, MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, and GTA4. With Adam Sessler giving it a perfect score and gushing all over Molyneux's accomplishment for making Fable 2 more mediocre than the first.
The bulk of their staff consists of MS fanboys and actual MS employees. Don't believe me? Google Chris Monfette. Reviewed games and reported the "news" for all platforms despite his obvious bias shown every time he appeared on Feedback.
Morgan Webb is the worst of the lot. She says Mario is for kids and Ratchet is for adults. She's the worst kind of Nintendo hater. She will frequently bash Nintendo whenever she's not on that s***y show that hasn't been good for 5 years. She says hardcore gamers only play Xbox in the middle of her Resistance 3 review.
They had a reviews editor that was in the process of being hired at EA review Medal of Honor, an EA game which she bashed for be buggy but still gave it a 4 on their old scale.
Adam Sessler made a Killzone video about people who questioned his integrity, but somehow never wonders why no one ever ever ever accuses them of being paid off by Sony or Nintendo. A quick glance at their reviews page should tell you why people believe the obvious.
I'll truly miss Tech TV but G4 can die in a fire.
