GameTrailers Layoffs Discussion

"I've been visiting GT since they released that kickass Zelda retrospective years ago.... They seriously have the best video content in gaming media. GT countdown, Timeline, GT anthology, Thanks for Playing, Annoyed Gamer, Invisible Walls, Mandatory Update, GT Retrospectives, Seedlings, Let's All Go To The Trailers, Trailer Academy, Pop Fiction, GT TIME, The Final Bosman, BackTrack, Level, Science of Games, Video Game Reunion, AVGN, Epic Battle Cry, Once Upon a Pixel, DEAD FUCKING FANTASY, and all the ScrewAttack content.... Can you name another website with that range of awesomeness under their belt? He'll no.... If I'm not mistaken, some of them used to work at G4 on shows like X-Play, so the production values and quality really shines on GT.... I'm bummed out :("

Mandatory Update Video - E3-ocalypse Super-sode 2014 | GameTrailers

"60% awkward. 40% dickish. 100% mental. Love it." — PersonalityDisorder, via GameTrailers

"Leave it to the jesters to tell the brutal truth (about the layoff)... I've watched this show from show one and enjoyed every minute of it. So much so, that I download every new episode of this (and the Final Bosman... and GT Time... and Let's All Go to the Trailers... and damn near every original show they put out) and play it in the background when I'm doing things around the house.... Ian and Elyse have a dynamic that alternates between "awesome brother and sister" and "soul mates (comedic or otherwise)." You guys are the best (same goes for all of the amazing people who currently make up the GT staff)!" — sosheisty, via GameTrailers

** Final Bosman E3 Special:

"Terrible news. It looks like this will be the end of GT, so many great names are on the list of people leaving: Jeremy Hoffmann, Daniel Kayser, Amanda MacKay, Rob Manuel, Rohan Rivas, Rob Slusser, Justin Speer, Ryan Stevens, [Jon Finger, and more] others are still deciding, like Brandon [Jones], [Michael[ Damiani and [Daniel] Bloodworth.... Thank you all for all the great content and for all my productivity you stole when I watched your videos and procrastinated.... This is a very sad day." — greuel, via GameTrailers

** LAGTTT: Tomb Doom:

""“.... God. This makes me sad. It feels so personal. GameTrailers has been a part of my daily routine for the better part of 8 years. Through college and shitty first jobs. I learned so much from you guys. I wish you best of luck.... And thank you for years of entertainment and enlightenment. Truly, thank you.... Best of wishes. All the way from Saudi Arabia." — Dahmi, via GameTrailers

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Video - E3 2014: Eyes-On | GameTrailers

"Sounds like a fucking trip, gotta love that Norse mythology." — Dudimus24, via GameTrailers

"... there were just multiple times when characters had information you wanted but withheld it until you did a quest for them first. The quests themselves weren't bad though. Hoping it just stuck out due to the condensed time frame of the demo." — BloodworthGT, via GameTrailers

Rainbow Six: Siege Video - E3 2014: Hands-On | GameTrailers

"Rainbow Six: Siege was THE surprise of E3 2014 :') I loved the fact it was demoed on a PC. Co-op is the most important aspect of tactical shooters to me. Hopefully the final game will deliver." — tontsa91, via GameTrailers

"Reminds me of the original Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear. Which is excellent. The original Tactical FPS. Ah, the good old MSN Zone days on PC. Definitely excited for this one." — HaVoK308, via GameTrailers

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Video - E3 2014: Eyes-on | GameTrailers

"Looking forward to playing this game... Kojima has probably wanted to make this kind of Metal Gear game for many years and now he has the power to do that. I won't be surprised if a PC version comes out a little later than the console one. I hope that lockers come back too so we can hide inside them. I know this is a huge open world Metal Gear but I hope they don't remove indoor environments either. I hope some missions take place in conventional indoor Metal Gear Solid classic style locations with lockers etc... I hope MGSV motherbase has that Mass Effect 3 ship/citadel style to it so you can interact with your comrades, test out weapons etc..."

Bloodborne Video - E3 2014: Eyes-on | GameTrailers

"Loved this eyes-on. Michael [Huber]'s authentic enthusiasm combined with a vivid description that also captured the atmosphere of the game made this very informative and a joy to watch." — gelosea, via GameTrailers

"This is EXACTLY how excited you'd be if you're the only person you know who saw gameplay and you were trying to explain it to your friends!" — battlebattle, via GameTrailers

Zelda Wii U Video - E3 Reveal: Theories & Wishes | GameTrailers

"Food for thought: In a tiny corner of the Internet, there's precedent for a female Link. A father who wanted his daughter to be able to play Windwaker as a girl hacked the game with a hex editor and flipped the pronouns. The reactions there were heavily positive. Some Zelda mythology purists understandably decried the change, and others (including a few women) felt playing as a male wouldn't constrain the girl's sense of gender identity. Most, however, suggested the fellow should get an award for Father of the Year."

Episode 39: Sonic 3: Michael Jackson | Pop-Fiction Full Episodes | GameTrailers

"Some mysteries are likely to stay mysteries forever, and that's okay with me. Sometimes, not knowing makes the legends even more interesting."

E3 2014 Video - E3 2014: Final Bets | GameTrailers

"This is the type of "content" and "experience" that keeps me coming back to GT daily. This kicks so much ass that people across the globe are now walking around with no ass... because their ass got kicked off by this."

Games Undone: Unravelling my thoughts on videogames and game development

"Over the past year, GameTrailers has really upped the ante with their exclusive shows. At the forefront of their awesome content is The Final Bosman – a weekly topical show that pokes fun at the entire gaming industry."

The Final Bosman Video - Best E3 Memories | GameTrailers

"Loved this episode! I'm from Portugal and sometimes I feel outside of everything related with gaming shows because sites like GT, IGN, etc., speak like there's no rest of the world. I loved to see a bigger realization from presenters that indeed, the gaming community is much bigger than 1 or 2 or 3 big countries... Hello world..."
