G4 - The channel

Two hours ago a "huge" G4 announcement was supposed to occur. They advertised it lots. Then, when it was supposed to air (on AOTS), Kevin announced that they were not ready to release it yet. Anyone see this? Any ideas on what it is? It's big, I know that.

I haven't forgiven AOTS since their botched coverage of SC2. Who else saw how much shit they got wrong in their first SC2 concerned show.

I lost g4 on my digital cable months ago. I liked it when I had it, though...

It was good a few years ago, but then everything started to go downhill a few months after they merged with techtv.

When I was at my grandpas, I used to watch it all the time there. But that was in the summer and when I went back there the channel was blocked. So yea... it really sucked.

I enjoyed TechTV. It was actually about technology.

Now G4 is like MTV. It has very little to do with what it started out to be.

At E3, they only said one sentence about SC2... I felt like shooting them. They had their penises whipped out for Assassins Creed though.

Lol its not even worth paying for its should come with very very basic cable(aka atenna).Yeah I miss when it was G4tv and Tech tv :(.Tech TV was so cool.Also G4 alone had that one show that told how something or someone came and survived or died.Like how the playstation came to be :D.

I believe you're talking about the show "Icons"

I used to like watching Icons and Cinematech, but Im not sure those are even on G4 anymore.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
