Um…. sorry. We know we’ve been hyping a big surprise all week and there’s been a ton of speculation as to what it could be. Some thought we’d start broadcasting in 720p, while others believed it had something to do with the launch of Halo 3. Good guesses, but neither of them is correct and though we can’t tell you what the answer is, we can assure you that the announcement will be huge!
Ultimately, the delay is the result of a legal thing that we honestly thought would be worked out by now. You know how it is, the lawyers in the fancy suits with the big briefcases have to cross every "T" and dot every "I" before anybody can do anything.
Don’t worry everything’s still happening, just not today. Be patient. The surprise will be worth the wait and we’re sure it will make a lot of you very happy. Again, we’re sorry.

It was a publicity stunt...they wanted to see how many people would watch that show that day...and now they are trying to make us forget with KEVIN TERRIBLE MUSTACHE!!!
keyblademasterzb
G4 IS MAKING THEIR OWN GAME!!!!! haha no that'd be cool tho
jdaprince187
Every one is forgetting what kevin said on the show. he said something about beutiful graphics. Which means Metal gear solid 4 for xbox 360 due sometime in march.
DAATA
is it trailer 3 for gta IV
DAATA
when is the announcement coming?
bigamos14
Hope it's about taking off star trek(I hate it) and cops. Get this station back to everything that we want to see. I use to watch this channel all day because it was about gaming now it's just crap. we get x-play and AOTS and that's all. Have like some gaming competitions or something.
P.S.
Layla(especially),Olivia,and Morgan.
You are like my dream girls. really, wet dreams.
jackytreehornn
anyone know when they're making the announcement? it's almost like a game is being released...it's got it all! lies! psych outs! delays! also, i agree with clamboyant: less cops and cheaters, more gaming stuff. keep ninja warrior, though.
spacehippie2
First they cut through Star Wars DVDs with a chainsaw and now this??? Bad G4, shame on you. (I'll still watch you guys though), but I mean come on, that just sucks. Does anyone have any idea on when they will actually be able reveal the news? I must know! I hope they bring back Trek 2.0! I still have G4 Spock on my Myspace friends, lol.
clamboyant
i hope that they are getting rid of all the non awesome shows like cops and cheaters and all the f*#king star trek (no offense to trekkies, i just dont think it belongs on here) jamie kennedy xperiment and all that crap. and they are coming up with more shows revolving around gaming and tech based stuff. Oh yeah and all you big babies quit being D BAGS!!! its not their fault that crap happened, although... way to drop the ball guys! anyways im done rambling
EliteWiitard
Maybe less Codemonkeys!!!!!!

...Or perhaps simple a move to air the show on tv and the internet simutaneously live."
My guess is something like that, but not simultaneous broadcasts, and more like the podcast clips. In other words, being able to download the full episodes instead of just clips for free.

It has nothing to do with Halo.. God I hate Halo's fanbase.
"HALO CREATED 3D GAMES. OM NOM NOM ABARAGHAH"
Anyway, I'm sure the announcement is TechTV OR GTAIV related. It's obvious
casey360360
u guys need to stop crying. its not that bad. they need to bring back stuff like robot wars.
killalot100
i think its about the halo movie. M$ went to them and told them that they started filming and they wanted them to tell us because they are the only gamer channel. thats the only thing that will get me excited right now. i am a little upset but i want to know soon like this week soon. it seems that in the gaming scene, we are always waiting for good news that takes forever. i know stuff happens but i hope they know that now the fan's are more into this then before. they do care about the fan's, thats what g4 is built for. if this is all about rating's then i am never going to watch this channel not because of the announcement but because thats not right to the fans.
mafuchan
I have to agree with Pincushionboy. I think it might have to do with some of the old TechTV people or G4 TechTV programming in Canada. Might be Leo is coming back perhaps? Maybe Patrick? Only a shallow guess
king_matthias
hahahahahaha, QQ more virgins
They screwed up but AoTS is still a badass show
tc_
yes, the halo movie will be made and g4tv geeks will be starting roles.
huh Olivia and Layla in 1080i sound like a great thing, i think 1080P, but who listens to them, i hit the mute button when they come on and put some 70s porn music on in the background.
oh ya... G4TV is now MSTV!
Big_Domino
Kinda funny, I made it a point to catch the 11pm replay just to see what this announcement was, even holding off on more Halo 3 to see it...
Somebody said before that they should have announced it at the beginning of the show...but I'm pretty sure they did mention it in the beginning...anyway, I like the 1080i idea too. Olivia and Layla in 1080i sound like a great thing to come home to...
ryceratops
At first I thought "how convenient, they get us excited and now we are even more anxious", but now I think - and I don't know why I think this - but I think they legitimately wanted to tell us some good news and really did have to hold off. I really would hope that the hosts of AOTS are the types of people that are honest with their fans and don't do shady marketing tactics. I always looked to G4 for the fact that you guys seem honest and present to your fans in the most honest fashion. No worries about the blooper, just promise to stay honest with us.
FortyLicks108
Hurry g4 i really want to hear more about the halo movie.
Lone_Shugyosha
... Either too much time or too much pot on ^^^ that one's hands...
Any who, ... the big announcement cancellation. ... Not cool guys, but what can ya do when the devil's minions are tying your hands with all the loop holes. Just try not to let them string it out merely for ratings, please. You know your true fans (watching since it was still Tech TV) wont stand for it.

P.S. - Keep up all the awesome, hard work!
P.P.S. - I LOVE YOU OLIVIA!!!
wolfbreath
I just realized it.
"This is something America would love"
1. Someone from G4 is running for president. Finally, the gamers in America will be represented as a minority. No more oppression.
2. It's a combination of two of America's favorite things: Star Wars and greasy tacos. That's right, a Star Wars themed Taco restaurant has opened up, and G4 is giving out free vouchers.
3. I love turtles.
facedown41
Yea ok so they messed up, who cares! everyone screws up now and again. To the people who are saying they aren't watching the station anymore cuz of this, i say get a life.
SolidMGSnake
No Broadcasting in 720p or 1080i? Thats what I was counting on. I could care less about what the news is about now.
blinguskahn
Yeah G4 is a crappy channel but what other channel do gamers have? I think that the announcement is going to be stupid and can only hope it has something to do with Layla taking her clothes off.
tc_
well it has to be something to deal with microsoft. think about it. the announcement of halo3 went into OVER-HYPE mode. the announcement of something for G4TV also went into over-hype mode.
and both failed to deliver on their over-hyped announcements. just hope when they finally announce it, we are not saying the samething "that was it?".
probably be internet streaming. since m$ is doing internet TV now. well beta.. hint hint
but that would be good that teamed up with g4tv canada.
VegasJeff
Maybe the announcement is that they're going back to being TechTv and I can dust off my old The Screen Savers T-Shirt I won from them by sending one of those viewer email questions. Those were the days.
justbobpro
G4 won't be moving on the channel line-ups (inside knowledge) but i could see a web simulcast..??!
SuPaC
layla kayleigh gets her own show! yaaay!.... or not, i dont know.. but thatd be cool with me...
Pincushionboy
My guess ... and um seriously it's just that. G4tv Canada and G4 will be merged programming wise. Call for Help and other shows will be worked into the mix. Though the hint Olivia gave about "Everyone in America would love it" on Wednesdays show hints at possibly moving down to a basic cable/satellite channel such as ESPN instead of the Digital or SuperPak Channel options as before. Or perhaps simple a move to air the show on tv and the internet simutaneously live. Hmmm one of these 3 is correct. KP
exntrik
One can only hope that the announcement has something to do with bringing back 'The Screen Savers' from the days when TechTv catered to a more mature audience and was less intersted in wrestling and ninjas. Since Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton were ousted along with all the other outstanding programming it would be too much to hope for that Comcast has seen the error of their ways...hope springs eternal.

Say what u want!!!
THEY SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL G4 WAS SURE ABOUT RELEASING THE ANOUNCEMENT.
I LIKE AOTS BUT THIS IS DISAPOINTING!!!
IM ALSO IN LOVE WITH OLIVIA :)
NorthStar77
seems like you guy could have announced the delay at the top of the show instead of dropping the delay bomb right at 7:20....
Well anyway the news must involve G4 not a larger scale announcement or else you would of went ahead with the "rumor". Really if its just G4 news how big could it be? Are you guys gonna be airing Full House 2.0 now?
matix440
wow, this sucks balls.
ALSO, Captain Smee, whats the matter with you for kicking people out of the Stickcam chat for asking about the cancellation of the big announcement? Stop riding G4's nuts and let the true fans have their freedom of speech. Douchebag.
wolfbreath
Wow, you guys are taking this harshly. It's like your girlfriend (supposing you could get one) dumped you.
Disappointing: yes
Upsetting: no
get the hell over it.
it was fun guessing at it, and while I'm on that subject, my newest fathom of a guess would be that G4 is forming a most righteous religion that is at the same time a rock band. So that we may cleanse the world annoying gaming nerds that cry. :( :( :( Yet at the same time, we will rock out with our proverbial "male chickens" out.
that or they're creating a MMO based on G4's shows and hosts! That's why the legal kinks are getting worked out! So awesome!

JOSEMHESTAND
MAYBE G4 IS REALEASING THEIR OWN NEXT GEN CONSOLE OR STARTING THIER OWN VIDEO GAME COMPANY?? WHO KNOWS?? OR ANOUNCING THE NEW SEGA NEXT GEN CONSOLE. THAT WOULD SUCK.
bradzero45
I agree with intheblender, the g4 viewers are babies, they need to stop complaining, this stuff happens, and do you people really think g4 cares if you complain in the comment section.A bunch of other people will still be excited over this. Get over it.
intheblender
I can't believe that so many of g4's viewers are such babies. It happens you guys, grow up and stop complaining about it. I seriously clicked on the comments page to hopefully see opinions of what it could be. Not bitching and moaning.

UGH! I was so pumped for this, even though I have no idea what it has to do with. Personally, I think it's obvious it has to do with a whole other company, because if it only had to do with G4, lawyers wouldn't be too necessary, now would they? But way to totally bum out your audience G4, GG

g4 make it up to us by making Olivia get naked!

Man this show gets worse everyday and now this I think Im done with this show.
DAntiVirus
Unexpected and annoying. They should have had all this worked out before even making the announcement. Shotty journalism and no follow through is no excuse.
krillanr
Ah heck thats alright, but be sure to tell us though. PLEASE
masterphred
I'm quite sure this is an "experiment" from aots, maybe linking this type of hype to delayed releses? Or just to see what would happen.
ToiletPaper
douche bags, could have made an announcement yesterday that you weren't going to tell us.
joelbranstein
You guys fail at being a legitimate broadcast channel. If this was the only instance of failure, I'd be somewhat forgiving, but you're losing a viewer because of this "goof".
dagladhill
Ok...ummm...thanks for the "apology" but...if the legal junk was not sorted out yet...why on earth would you pump it up so much on a date you were not even sure of? I was really disappointed in G4 today...you better be certain that this news is worth it...very upset at the so called "promise".

Nice bait and switch tactic there guys... maybe you should have asked the guys in fancy suits BEFORE going off and making a big non-announcement?
