Playr Tv

MANGABOY · 05-09-2009, 5:26 PM

I just stumbled across Playr tv on Film24, channel 157 on sky. Is a new episode as well, not the rerun crap they keep showin on Bravo. On again tonight around midnight and tomorrow midday. Probaly a weekly thing. Hope so don't think I can stand watchin any more of that Gameface crud with that manky presenter

Yeh has like reviews and previews on upcoming games on all platforms. I used to watch it but i think it changed channels and like the other guy said they kept showing repeats!

Might have to take a look. Dont really see much in the way of gaming tv these days. I use to watch one years ago but can't remember what it was called.

Cheers! Used to love watching this on Bravo before they started showing repeats. Got it set to record at lunch time so will watch it then.

jason g · 06-09-2009, 8:54 AM

set it to record today at noon, strange no series link though?

Poised_Anomaly · 06-09-2009, 9:32 AM

Also set to record

**Hillskill** · 06-09-2009, 7:33 PM

Cheers for the heads up. Its a much better show then the ones on Bravo now. Was great to see DJ Hero in action......its a must buy for me now.

virtual_boy · 06-09-2009, 8:31 PM

I especially liked the section on booth babes

reddevil63 · 06-09-2009, 8:32 PM

At least its up to date.

Frankie 7 · 06-09-2009, 8:34 PM

Seen a bit of this today, Saboteur game looks alright and the DJ game looks funny as hell.

Earlyflash · 06-09-2009, 9:10 PM

Available anywhere on the internet? I can't record TV.

The new episodes are being shown on Channel Film24 which i dont think you can get on Virgin Media. Only Sky i think.

New Episode is on tonight at 6:20pm on Channel 157 Film24 for Sky Viewers

MrHiggy · 12-09-2009, 2:39 PM

Awesome, thanks for the spot. Will watch tonight.

Used to enjoy watching this on a Sunday lunch time - and it's predecessor (Gamer?) - until it died.

Cheers for the heads up. Do you know if this is the air time for all new episodes?

Been checking film24 all week and have been recording the same episode (DJ hero, Op Flashpoint, booth babes etc)

Much better than that Gameface and Ginx files drivel!

I'm sure a couple of weeks ago it was mentioned that Arkham Asylum was one of the games you could vote for on their website, yet I havent seen it featured on the show yet. You can't tell me that people would rather watch footage from G-Force than Arkham?!

They seem to be gearing towards the lower-age market I feel. They do the whole 'gamer' stereotypes of old. Oooo 'babes with boobs...' games which show off pants seemed to get a good shout out (x-blades!?), the blonde presenter, g-force etc I keep wondering why they can't actually make a grown-up version of a games magazine type show, surely they (the tv folks) must realise that the market isn't just pre-pubescent(sp?) boys and that there are a lot of more grown-up (well, older

) folks playing, as well as girls playing games too these days?

Great post, and I echo your comments.

Gaming has become alot more mainstream and accepted in recent years. Think about the people you know who 'game'. I bet you can think of quite a few people and I bet there's people from both sexes in there teens, 20s, 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond that you know enjoying games? Some are console gamers, some pc gamers, some are casual social gamers who enjoy wii motion games, singing and quiz like games? My point is that if you think about it ALOT of people game, many more than 5-10 years ago. Its not your stereotypical teenager locked away in his bedroom anymore. No, think about your friends and the people that you know. How many of them buy the latest games? (be them on the 360, ps3, wii, ds, psp, pc). You hear lots of people talking about the next big game, be it Killzone, Halo, COD, GOW, Bioshock, Wii sports resort. Theres always a real buzz when it comes to a new big release. These games have mass market appeal and sell alot of units and consoles. With this in mind it would be great to have a decent mainstream games show. One that could be more adult and feature reviews, previews, news on upcoming games, special features etc. I really think Production compaines are missing a real trick here because if done right a primetime gaming show could be huge!

They seem to have learned from the first couple of dire episodes and doin a bit better. Done away with that stupid phone in competition for a start. The idiots are still looking at games up to a year old tho. How can they review Need For Speed Undercover last Saturday when Need for Speed Shift has just been released
