Gametrailers. Now under IGN.

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

Gametrailers closing down today
After 13 years, GameTrailers is closing down today.
When GameTrailers was founded in 2002, internet video was a revolutionary concept. YouTube wouldn’t be founded for another three years; consumer live streaming was nine years away. Back then, online game journalism was still dominated by text articles and static imagery. The most prestigious coverage still happened in print. If you wanted to watch a show about video games, you had to watch it on a special TV station that had 10 shows.
GameTrailers helped change all that. Today, game journalism is dominated by video: trailers, live gameplay, Let’s Plays, and news shows. Now there are millions of hours of content available at any time on your PC, your game console, your TV, and your phone.
We’re proud we helped bring this world into being. That is the legacy of GameTrailers. We're grateful to all of our fans who helped make us successful. Thank you for your continued support over the years. It has been an adventure.

Diyan ako kumuha dati ng game trailers at iba pang videos nung nag-present tayo nung GX-Con 2007. Puro HD videos pa yun.

Love gametrailers. They have been my go to site for reviews and converage for the past few years, although matagal na din ako nanonood.

Hopefully they all get jobs soon.

I saw it coming. I knew it was gonna end this year but it still stings a bit. Loved their GT Countdowns and their reviews were agreeable for the most part. Then there's the fact that they're all fun to pay to attention. It'll be tough looking for good mainstream reviewers to count on now that they're gone.
Current Top 5:

Digimon World: Next Order - Torment: Tides of Numenera - The Endless Cylinder - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Persona 5

All Time Top 5:

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete - Dark Cloud 2 - Deus Ex - Final Fantasy VI - Bloodborne

Their production is too bloated that rely too much on just banner ad revenue on their own site. You won't be able to keep that business model for long. Even with Youtube ad revenue, production costs will still not be recouped. With their fanbase, a lower cost production can work with Youtube ad revenue and Patreon.

Still too bad about those who lost their jobs.

IGN acquires GameTrailers!
http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/17/116928 ... be-archive

"Although GameTrailers.com is shutting down, IGN is committed to archiving GT's massive library. That means all the Countdowns, Retrospectives, reviews and original shows won't just disappear."
"We are big fans of the content GameTrailers has published over the years and want to ensure that the videos will survive online. We have added the GT YouTube channel to our network and are scouring hard drives and uploading back catalog content that never made it across."

oh my...

Hindi ako fan ng IGN but i'll give em the respect for doing such a thing. :agree:

Edit: I think the title needs to change a bit too, don't you think? :mrgreen:

Here's an update I keep forgetting to post here. Nandito na yung mga GT staff including Brandon Jones and his oh so sweet VO.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZrxXp ... A/featured

Isa sa mga highlight sa akin sa YT channel nila yung Game Sleuth, which has the same concept as Pop Fiction where they debunk or prove gaming myths.
