G4 FORGETS HOW TO COVER LIVE EVENTS
(Posted 2007-07-11 21:25:17 by basscomm)

G4 has been hyping their E3 coverage for a while now. Saying that they will
be covering the event live now that it's 'not open to the public'. I no
longer get G4 without paying extra for digital cable, so I haven't checked
out the coverage. This poor soul did [

] and was less than impressed.

"Four times in the middle of a live keynote they go into 4-5 minute
commercials. What?!?! We missed 95% of the BioShock demo video, great job
guys! How about no commercials when you are “covering” a live keynote
event? But it gets worse! At the very end of the show, Microsoft/Bungie
start showing off a kick ass Halo 3 video. Everyone has been waiting for
this. It’s from the campaign.

Around the middle of the video, they cut from the live video feed into a
camera shot of the huge screen that everyone attending the event is
watching on. They start to pan out and some douche starts talking over the
trailer."

There was a video up of some of the footage, but it disappeared rather
quickly. Normally I'd make some comment here about G4 not being a good
channel for video game related... well, anything, but that train has
already left the station.
