Game One (previously MTV Game One ; in the pilot as MTV Players ) is a former German television program on video and computer games , which among other things became known for its humorous portrayal of games and game culture phenomena. In 2011, the program's website was awarded the audience prize of the Grimme Online Award . On December 22, 2014, MTV announced the end of the show, the last episode 307 was released on December 24.

Moderators

The TV show was moderated by Simon Krätschmer , Daniel Budiman , Nils Bomhoff and Etienne Gardé . The contributions were spoken by Ingo Mess . The two former GIGA network reporters Krätschmer and Budiman left their former programs GIGA \\ Games and GIGA eSports in February and March 2006, respectively , in order to develop the program Game One for the broadcaster MTV Germany and to present it from September 2006 to December 2014. In August 2011 Bomhoff and Gardé joined as additional moderators.

Formats that only appeared on the website or app were also moderated by different members of the editorial team.

Studio

The studio, located in the Hamburg district of Altona-Nord , is owned by its own production company, Rocket Beans Entertainment GmbH .

editorial staff

The editorial team consisted of many German video game journalists, some of whom were known from magazines and television . While the content for the TV show was created by a smaller core team, contributions from other members of the editorial team also appeared on the website and in the app. Most recently, Gregor Kartsios was at the head of the editorial team as editor-in- chief for the television sector and Fabian Buyer for the associated Game One website.

Before Kartsios, Carsten “Trant” Grauel was head of the TV editorial team. He left Game One on September 30, 2014 after eight years of editorial work. Grauel took over the position from Uke Bosse in 2010 , who in turn succeeded Marc Quambusch in 2008 .

Concept and content

According to MTV, the show offered a detailed test platform for video games. The television viewers should be informed and advised on purchasing decisions with detailed tests and well-founded evaluations. When discussing the games, the principle and fundamental elements should be understood in order to attract non-players to the program. The program also reported on major trade fairs such as gamescom and tested new releases. The first MTV Game Awards and the first season of the eSport Bundesliga were also discussed in detail on the program.

An important feature in the moderation of the tests was humor. Almost all tested games were parodied during the test, mostly using scenes from films and series. Outtakes at the end of the program were also mandatory. The daily called the show "one of the last anarchic islands on MTV".

There was no content or conceptual connection to another MTV online service such as GameTrailers or foreign formats with the same title.

In August 2011, the official mobile app for the broadcast was published for Apple iOS . In addition to all the functions of the website, there was also a subscription with which additional contributions and earlier access to current episodes was possible. The app has also been available for Android smartphones since September 2012 .

On the occasion of the 200th episode, a four-hour best-of was broadcast on VIVA on March 10, 2012 .

Since April 4, 2014, Game One has also been broadcast on Comedy Central . Episode 282 was dedicated to this fact.

Restructuring of MTV and VIVA

After the restructuring plans from MTV to become a pay-TV channel became known, the official Game-One forum announced the continuation of the program. The plan was to continue broadcasting the individual episodes on MTV, repeating them after a few days on the free-to-air channel VIVA and then making them available on the website.

May 2011 the new Game One logo was introduced. The program was shot in a redesigned studio and the website was revised. The episodes were broadcast in 16: 9 format.

Internet presence

Since April 15, 2009 the show has its own website, which contains all episodes of the TV show as well as other categories. A podcast , the GameOne Plauschangriff , was published to accompany the website until June 2014 , initially only sporadically, but later regularly every fortnight. It was directed and edited by Gregor Kartsios and is available both on the website and free of charge through iTunes. Editing of the site was mainly taken care of by Christian Gürnth until May 2013. Since the beginning of December 2010, various merchandising items have also been sold in a separate shop. In 2011 GameOne.de was awarded the audience award of the Grimme Online Awards .

In 2016 the website GameOne.de was switched off and the URL refers to the MTV-Play website, on which some episodes of Game One can still be found.
