Welcome to our weekly Community Q!
Once a week we flip the tables and listen to what you guys have to say . . . rather than sitting back and make you listen to us!
Community Q: With the launch of Ginx TV‘s UK gaming channel getting closer by the day now (even if we don’t yet have a definitive date), today we ask: what would you most like to see on a channel devoted to gaming? Magazine shows? Reviews? History? Behind the scenes with devs and publishers? How To guides and walkthroughs? Conversely, would you hate to see on there?
Tell us your opinion – and your reasons behind it – right here in the comments! Or how about joining our forums and talking about it over there? :)
Got an idea for a future Community Q question? Drop us a line and tell us about it!
I’d personally love to see coverage of tournaments and insights into the lives of professional players. Even if they showed nothing but StarCraft replays, I’d watch nothing else. :]
I would love to see a game channel that actually sticks to the focus of covering games. G4 was so awesome here in the states during its initial run, but after the merger with TechTV, and then the programming geniuses deciding that it wanted to be a poor man’s Spike clone, it never gained traction with the viewers and now is slowly being dropped by cable companies left and right.
If someone is going to start a gaming channel, they have to keep the focus on gaming, and less on Star Trek and Ninja Warrior reruns.
I’d like to see a gaming channel that takes the time to 1)educate that gaming community with slots dedicated to the history of games, the developers involved. 2) that has fun with games, like real funand 3) that is not afraid to speak its mind on games irrespective of the latest sponsorship deal. Above all it has to be current and fun.
