Changes are going into effect right now, but there will be comments. Please be patient. It's going to take a while to roll out and there's still a lot of work to come.
Not sure if it's because I'm on mobile, but I'm getting a page not found on every video I click right now.
If the URL I'm getting helps, here's an example: http://gametrailers.com/videos/view/gametrailers-com/116425-Lets-Tour-the-New-Office
I'm on desktop and latest Hube Hype and ManUps doesn't work (yet). The player works for older videos like Don's Design Labs.
I too can't either fullscreen or change resolution on any videos
Just tried Don too, 404'd.
I guess we have to follow Bloods advice and be patient
Totally. Just letting it be known in case it wasn't yet.

Holy cow Kyle has a lot of ties at work. Also, Huber should've known to carry some M&Ms with him to unlock the door to their game library.
Quick Edit: I laughed at the drop down for the Review tab because that looks exactly like the fake lists I make up when I'm trying to get a feel for a web page layout. 'Content. Content. More Content. Wow really long content' etc. In case anyone checks this after they fix it, the first three items under the review drop down are just 'Review'.

I know it's because I've had it on in the background like three times this week, but as soon as I saw Huber strutting down the corridor in black and white, it totally reminded me of the hallway in the back of the mall in the beginning of Terminator 2. Office looks great other than the lack of windows. I can't believe any work gets accomplished in that bullpen. There's probably a show somewhere in there.

What the hell was that bonus bit? I'm curious what that is supposed to be.

Loved the bit on Huber's tour of the office where he sits at the "breakfast" table with that big smile on his face.
They should have a new Sunday morning show, similar to Sky Sports' Sunday Supplement where they all sit around the table with croissants and coffee and talk about the week in gaming, swap newspapers with game magazines.

Yeah progression and having an arc is good.
Making Tomb Raider a game about PTSD was stupid as fuck, basically like those try hard "Gritty Mario" comedies that have gotten so played out.
No better than those "Nathan Drake is a mass murderer" bollocks thread, trying to be deep in a very clumsy way.
I've said this several times on GAF, so i won't go on about it again, but to make it short, Tomb Raider was always* about wonder and the joy of discovery, something the reboot completely fails at, and turns that joy into creepy horror and a half assed attempt at some weird psychologic arc.
Imagine if they made a reboot of Indiana Jones where he has to deal with SLA.
Reminds me of that one review of Tomb Raider 2 that proposed they gave Lara breast cancer as a plot point.
You can have a good and interesting tone without trying so hard to "say something" and completely destroy any consistency in tone, in the process.
These are characters designed and created as icons, archetypes that represent an idea, more than a tridimensional character, like Indiana Jones, like Darth Vader, you can't just slap them into any story and expect them to work in the same way.
That's what they did wrong, in my opinion.
*Aside from that Angel of Darkness abortion.
That was awesome to watch.
I was literally typing out "how sweaty is that controller" when he made the comment

They didn't get the user stuff turned on today, and they're out until next week for the holiday. Will have to wait for now.

I loved Huber Hype this week.
"Must Be Nice" cracked me the fuck up, several times.

Confirmed. It is nice.
I also have all the gear though, which I need to have a close eye on and keep under lock and key. Likewise, Brandon needs to be able to shut his door to do VO or private meetings.

It's been going on for a number of episodes now. 3 or 4 maybe?
HH and FB were both excellent this week.
Regarding the new player, not sure if it's worth anything doing trouble shooting, but in my case (Firefox) i can't put it in fullscreen, and half the times the player controls don't even show up.
Also, it says 720p, but it looks rather blurry (even compared to Youtube's 720p, which already is usually a compressed mess) not sure if that's also a bug.

Also that table in the cafeteria begs for a GTbreakfast show.

But the therapy sessions are in Rise of the Tomb Raider, except they are tapes of the sessions instead of cutscenes. Giving information about what happened after Yamatai, Sam's whereabouts and Lara's relationship with her father, but
I'm not saying it was excellent story telling, but they didn't drop it. I like Rise's Lara, she's much stronger and assertive than the last game. All she did in TR was react to what was happening to her. Psycho's,plane crashes, ship wrecks, monsters, traps...react, react, react. In Rise she tackles the antagonists head on and is actually a beacon of strength, her courage and actions make others around her rally to her and become stronger too. She's a hunter, not the hunted.
I mean that's progression, right? In TR she was a ball being bounced around without any self-will and in Rise she's a batter smashing home runs.
ultimately you find she was convinced to go into therapy by her step-mother who was trying to undermine Lara as part of Trinity's plan

I like to watch the GT shows in my bed on the iPad, using the app (as its one of the better ways to actually watch the videos for me) the update process is horrendous though, checked it last night and the last video to be uploaded was Man Ups from the weekend.
Don't think ill be watching as often in the future if this doesn't get fixed

Subscribe to them on YouTube?
Also that table in the cafeteria begs for a GTbreakfast show.
Before Rev3 became horrible and fell apart, they had a show called "Casual Friday" where'd they chat about the week over a beer in a nice area.
It's sort of redundant with GT Time but a casual chat in the cafeteria would be cool.

A special Thanksgiving Mandatory Update is up now.
What a treat.

That app is a Viacom product. Now that we've moved off their system onto Defy's, there's no way to update it anymore, and it will likely stop working soon. I know that kind of sucks for now, but it's going to be so much better in the long run.
As someone else mentioned, the YouTube channels will be your best option, although I've played videos from the new site in Safari as well without issue.

Deal breaker for me, I tried both Chrome and IE, no dice.

The site is still clearly transitioning. Meanwhile the youtube channels are a viable alternative.
I'm gonna say it's already a massive upgrade to the previous site.

I mainly watch the video reviews, and I'm not seeing reviews on gametrailers youtube, unless I'm on the wrong page.

You likely are, we have a separate channel for reviews and related content.

Thanks! They upload every review there? I'll just use this then.

Yeah, I put them all up there. With the old site, they'd sometimes make it up to YouTube first. Curious to see how much faster the new site will be once we get everything ironed out. It's already a major improvement on the back end so far.
