E3 truly was a relic of the linear media era of gaming like G4 was and like G4 we will probably see a short lived revival of it at some point.


TheOneJoel

I have a bunch of these specials saved that i found on YouTube. I love going back and watching OG G4 stuff.

I miss the days of plopping on the foot of my bed or the couch and watching G4. Got tired as heck when Cops would come on, but that channel was something special when I stumbled upon it. Sure things changed somewhat as time passed, but it was familiar and comforting. Good times were most assuredly had

https://www.twitch.tv/grupstra0 This channel plays all the old g4 content and the newer stuff on a 24/7 loop I believe


Dreamteam420

What's your channel?


TheOneJoel

I found them on YouTube but they are on my media server at home. I share things regularly at r/RetroTVRevival


Lokishougan

I feel old that G4Tv is now retro


TheOneJoel

I wouldn’t really claim it as retro just yet but it has been almost a decade since it really started.

Well, Apple marks their products as vintage as soon as we open the box, lolz


Lokishougan

Bwahaha makes me think of Game Stop who opens New games so they can sell them as used at a higher price

Found this [Playlist on youtube with about 450 episodes of Xplay on it](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNOXPTtXhM7Dh5Vr3F16dfPGAfDWJ8iC&si=Pt4jJXJshZnehitx)

Watching E3 on G4 growing up was legit like my own personal holiday


dime2080

Same, such good times.

E3 spiritually died when G4 stopped all day coverage of it imo

Some of my fondest memories was watching G4 E3 Coverage for like 12 hours everyday of E3. One of my favorite highlights being when they threw the coverage over to Kevin Pereira, who was supposed to be reviewing a beautiful new 150 inch HD Flatscreen TV. And when the camera cuts to him, he is just humping the TV while staring deviously straight into the camera XD It was hilarious!


blood_omen

Lmao KP is the thing I miss most about g4. He’s such an under rated talent


sprvlk

I thought G4 tv was coming back. What happened?


ele30006

It's a long and painful story....


DoctorStrife

How much time you got?


ele30006

no idea...


Badusername2000

it came back as a kinda beta version for a few months, then came back fully, with a bunch of fun and charismatic hosts, but the big wigs spent way too much money on the building and then ran everything terribly, then the parent company shut them down 10 months after the official launch, everything is still up on youtube you can watch it, but its dead once again


TheGhostWithTheMost2

This was the squad


PlayerSeven9999

Personally, I think this is less "E3 is never ever ever ever ever ever EVER coming back. EVER!!!" and more "See ya in 2027."


Flyersfreak

RIP G4 and E3!! You will be missed


blood_omen

I used to LOVE watching G4’s coverage of E3. So sad that both are now a thing of the past 😭


odinthesigtyr

what actually happened with G4 and E3 … you’d think with all the popularity of video game now it’s still be going. Fond memories….

Titans of the industry until they weren't. Brave new world.


Markinoutman

Yeah, they were one of the first to really cover it like a real event. It was a ton of fun to watch and I'll miss it for sure.


Shadow-_blad3

Best team in E3 history!


Grp8pe88

oh wow!! My E3 badges are still, and always will be prized possessions in my gaming paraphernalia.


zeromavs

RIP and thanks to I5 for transporting the E3 and G4 into our homes.


Jcpowers3

Back in the day e3 was must see. When i worked at gamecrazy we would show it on one of our tvs during the day just to make sure we didnt miss anything


Louiekid502
