Forums - Sony - Sony has axed “Pulse” with Christina Lee

I used to watch it and always thought it was a good way to expose games and videos. I've noticed Christina didn't mentioned when it would be their next episode after the E3 special and I kinda figured out they wouldn't return. Oh well, too bad.

Good riddance. Something like that isn't necessary.
Next up is The Tester. Now, I kinda enjoy the show but it is it really something worth putting resources into?


It would've been smarter to put it on prime time TV.

How many people who watch prime time TV care that someone wins a job testing videogames?

I said prime time tv. It would've been something new and fresh. There was a show on Sci-Fi  doing a similar thing. I loved that show, but its too bad they put it on Sci-Fi.

Would people watch a show where the goal is to get a job as a janitor?  For the average person, software testing is akin to that, and the whole videogames industry isn't taken seriously.  Now, The Tester could have a shot on cable.  But heck, G4 is going to stop being G4, so seriously have to wonder if anything videogame related could break into cable.  The Video Game Awards do abysmal ratings also.  The whole videogame industry is aware of this, and ends up envying other media because of the lack of respect it gets.



Why does she black and has a Chinese name?



I'm going to miss her and her clam and cheeky voice talking about games :,(

Nickelodeon Arcade was a hit show in the 90's. I dunno, if you find the right channel with the right audience the show could be a hit.



NO! the original Qore was awesome and Pulse was so amazing too!

At least this shows that Sony are doing things to improve the cost efficiency of the company, but these were good shows.

If the Tester returns for another season though...

However, the Tester isn't just about testing games anymore. The last guy who won the competition went on the work for Sony Santa Monica and ultimately started work on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

And of course the original guy is working with Sony's media coverage team in SCEA.
