Making a game review show.

Name: Lynxis 2006-05-15 14:25

I'm in the pre-production stage of making a video game review show. I may expand to include reviews of peripherals and anime as well but for now, it's just video games. It will be about 5-10 minutes long per episode and cover one specific game.

I'm sort of stuck as for a review formula though. I was thinking of making it a good review/bad review thing where one person gives all of good things and says it's a good game. The other anchor will say all the bad things about it and give it a poor review. Then they can bicker back and forth about it.

I'm just not sure how well something like that would work out and want some opinions. So, against my better judgement, I'll ask 4chan.

What do you think, 4chan?

One of the best gaming related videos I ever saw, was the end of a plain WoW fraps recording of some 40-man dungeon by an experienced guild with corresponding teamspeak. The sound quality wasn't awesome, there was no directing - it's simply the exitement of the players that made the thing watchable.
 You will not be able to achieve television quality in the first show - if that's all you'd settle for, you will never get started. Do one yourself, asking in forums will get you *some* reply. When you demonstrate you got the stuff to produce something worthwhile, other people will participate. If the recording quality wasn't so good, people will try to make it better next time, if the commentators didn't know what they were talking about, others will think "hey, I can do better than that". It's not so much about what it is in the beginning, but more about what it could be.

The problem with recording your own videos, is that you'll have to be able to play that game yourself. The video quality is not *all* that crucial, since you'll be putting the thing on youtube or something, not high-def television.
