Correct, we will be streaming all the E3 conferences online as part of our coverage, but Sony will not be on Spike. I would love to have had PlayStation on Spike, but the late start time (primetime on the east coast) makes it very difficult. That said we are working on some awesome content for PS fans that will be a part of our live coverage on TV.

Holy crap that was actually pretty good. At least back then G4 used to have pretty funny clips, ads, etc. I'm not even sure what they're doing nowadays after I heard they stopped being such a gaming and technology focused channel.
At one point it was just Buffy tropes, right?
Thanks for clarifacation, Geoff.
If only a channel in the UK would show it too.
The same stream is on Gamtrailers .
Yeah, it's a shame, they were great.
Sessler has been pretty good still on Revision 3's stuff. Hopefully Morgan shows up somewhere else eventually also.

They lost the UFC to Fox/FX/FuelTV at the end of 2012.
Thanks for clarifying.

A better fate could not have befallen G4... Now everyone who liked G4 can suffer what we all did when G4 destroyed TechTV.
Now that's hilarious.

It's by far the best way to watch it. It's reasons like this that I still pay for satellite. Streaming cannot touch this.

wasn't spike tv sort of ea/ms friendly?

MS and EA are the only ones that will be shown on TV. There's no G4 and like Geoff said, Sony's start time is too late for Spike (I suspect the same for Ubisoft too).

you guys are gonna have a looong day on the 10th. Good luck! I watch E3 coverage live on GT every year.
The destruction of TechTV was very sad. I think G4 only had about one year (their first) where I was satisfied with them.
Do you know (and more importantly, can you share) how long MS conference is going to be yet?
Pretty sure they destroyed each other. G4 was great pre-merger.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but right now I miss G4.
Spike is giving them 90 minutes.

Huh. Wonder if streamed stuff like the Nintendo Direct and the Konami showing will be included anywhere.
That's cool. I was waiting to see what my cable box listed, but it's not showing the calendar for June 10th.
Pardon, but what exactly are you gonna do with Nintendo non-conference?
Stream only I assume. The ND is on Tuesday and the Spike press release says Tuesday's coverage will be stream only.
Not great for Sony or its fans in that case. Looking forward to see how you balance it out for Playstation fans.

Specifically mentions Microsoft's and EA's but neglects everyone else's?
Fuck off Spike.
I will be watching it streamed anyway.

Blame Sony for having a late start time and blame Nintendo for not doing a press conference (they showed Nintendo last year BTW). I know they will have one of those Nintendo Directs, but it's not the same according to Spike TV.

So GT.com is streaming right. Do you happen to know when the links will go live?

I just YouTubed that. Not to get off-topic here, but wow.

What about Nintendo? Will we see the direct on there as well, or will it just be media playing the games at the media event afterwards?

Wouldn't want to interrupt that 2nd showing of Dodgeball. That's some big time stuff there.

Do Gametrailer streams work on iPad? I'll just stream to my tv with that if so.

Aaaand the last thing I watched G4 for is officially gone. *moment of silence for TechTV and G4*
It's good that some other channel has E3 coverage. I love watching it on TV.

Usually they stream it on all the major gaming sites, PS.blog, & Ustream. It should also be available in Home, Ustream in crap quality via the PS3 browser, and there's apparently work being done for a Vita solution.
I think this is the hub for their E3 coverage. Nothing there yet though. It'll probably go live next week when they start releasing teasers.
Nope. AFAIK, the console YouTube app on both the 360 & PS3 doesn't support live streams. The only option for the PS3 will be to watch it on the crummy browser or from inside Home. On the 360, I'm sure you'll be able to access the IGN stream via the IGN app, the GT app, and there might also be a Twitch stream available from inside the Twitch app.
For anyone on iOS, it looks like the GT app will carry the streams.

Does not seem like very good coverage if you are not showing Sony or Ubisofts conferences, yeah the timing excuse, but what about showing it delayed gamers want to see that stuff just as much as Microsoft's and EA stuff. There seems plenty of hours for Spike TV to at least air it even if it is not live. I didn't bring up Nintendo since I could have sworn they said around April they were just going for smaller shows not a conference or is that wrong?

Not surprising. Who else is left for E3???

I forgot there was a time where G4 kinda tried.
Nintendo is doing a Nintendo Direct on the 11th, a hands-on type of thing for the press, and another conference for retailers.

I know it sucks that Sony's and Ubisoft's conferences will not be on tv. I liked watching them on tv ( Gonna miss G4 for this reason) but, spike made the decision and gametrailers had to go along with it even though it probably puts them in a compromising situation. I'm pretty sure Geoff and the gametrailers crew will have live demo's of the games Sony and Ubisoft show off at their press conferences.
