Going through E3 won't be the same without them.

Never forget

 

[MrCunningham]

Just watch and save this.

One of my favorite Kyle Bosman moments from E3 2014: https://youtu.be/Xo3e8YgoLV4?t=447

 

[KanameYuuki]

Their top 10 videos were the only ones I really liked and felt well thought, their timeline videos were so good, same with their reviews, always fair, and they were always my go to for E3 : ( I hope everyone on the staff get new and well paid jobs, they are all so talented and so genuine, one of the few sites without bs going on around them.

 

[DJ88]

Damn that's rough.

Even though I never watched GameTrailers, I completely feel for you GT fans. I would feel the same if Giant Bomb ever shut down.

 

[adj_noun]

I didn't know Jones was a puppet man.

 

[James93]

What? No way, they literally only found out hours ago. It's just their way of dealing with the news as best as possible at the moment.

Somehow i doubt that. I think they all knew it was coming. Especially based off how much of the talent has left

 

[dmr87]

Even if you're being sarcastic, could we not dredge up that shit again?

It's just a comment on people that didn't believe in the huge announcements.

 

[DangerMouse]

Not even close. Going by the standard traffic sites like Alexa (which are terrible, but it's all we got) Kotaku and Polygon are much bigger. Giant Bomb, Destructoid and probably a few others too. I'm not sure how big GT was at its peak, but the site itself had become a smaller gaming site. Take those numbers with a grain of salt of course.

I know that I had moved to their YT channel, but doesn't seem like those numbers were big enough to keep them going.

Polygon....ugh. The way that site still exists while GT closes is just depressing as hell.

 

[Pooya]

This sucks. I wonder what will happen to their archives. There are some really cool old stuff on there you can't find elsewhere.

 

[phanphare]

the world needs bosman and huber final bets

;_;

 

[vcc]

They got the news today so probably not sadly.

Kyle Bosman + Dan Rykart would be two great crazy ass Nintendo man children. Maybe GB has room for +1?

 

[Savitar]

His name was Buttons Paulson.

 

[Loxley]

Man, I still remember the first time I went to GT - it was right after that first Twilight Princess reveal trailer was released. I can't say I'm surprised this happened, what with the rise of YouTube and Twitch, dedicated gaming video websites like GT were struggling to keep their audience. As good as their more personality-driven content had become over the last two or three years, I think they were just too late to catch onto that trend.

Hopefully everyone lands on their feet.

 

[DangerMouse]

Never forget

Yup. Will be remembered forever.

 

[Akibared]

No more Daniel Bryan and no more Gametrailers I don't know what I'm going to do with my life... ;_;

 

[Tregard]

His name was Buttons Paulson.

HIS NAME WAS BUTTONS PAULSON.

So good, Shu's face kills me.

 

[MrCunningham]

I just realized that Blood's not there. He went on vacation, and returned to no job...

 

[orochi91]

Never forget

A great chapter in gaming history!

 

[WGMBY]

Damn. End of an era. I'll miss them so much. I loved their retrospective series and reviews.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

This blows. I just started putting GTTime in my weekly podcast rotation last year. Hope everyone lands on their feet and we can here more from them.

 

[Fitts]

What a shame. While I don't care for how the media scores/rates games, I would watch their reviews when I wanted a quick overview of something. Their videos were superb for that.

I'll have to see who was responsible for them and see if they'll continue doing their thing for a different outlet.

 

[Naythan]

No more Daniel Bryan and no more Gametrailers I don't know what I'm going to do with my life... ;_;

This was a hard day.

 

[TheYoungHeroRises]

Defy Media seems like a very shitty company to work for.

Who wants to bet that The Escapist gets shut down next?

 

[brotkasten]

I just realized that Blood's not there. He went on vacation, and returned to no job...

He's actually getting married.

Number seven.. Hue hue hue

This sucks. I wonder what will happen to their archives. There are some really cool old stuff on there you can't find elsewhere.

I wish there was a way to mass download their entire archive

 

[MrJTeera]

what???? why?????? explain!!!!!

 

[dukie85]

the world needs bosman and huber final bets

;_;

I'll be sad if I never get to see those visors they'd wear during that anymore...

 

[BlastProcessing]

We live in a world where PewDiePie makes millions and GameTrailers goes bust.

Right now the market dictates that you make long videos that are quickly produced and frequently published. PewDiePie does that. Sadly Gametrailers makes a lot of short videos that require editing work and are published weekly.

 

[DR2K]

Wait why is it shutting down out of nowhere?

 

[adj_noun]

what???? why?????? explain!!!!!

All they've said they can say is Defy wasn't interested in investing in GT.

 

[Linkyn]

Lol was that sound thing intentional?

 

[DangerMouse]

This blows. I just started putting GTTime in my weekly podcast rotation last year.

Same here.

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

Keanu cut the mic, oh no

 

[MODEYV3]

Cant believe it, been with them since 06! :'( Need my dose of Bosman each wednesday.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

omg the mic cut out and I was really interested in what he was trying to say =(

edit: an extra elevator beep in Speed lol

 

[FTF]

Wait what was the Speed story??

lol it was just an extra elevator beep.

 

[Intel_89]

Maaaan, this sucks. I loved their content and I've been a fan since around 2005, I can't believe they're shutting down.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Brandon Jones voice carried me through so many videos. I hope their contents will be archived for us to view again. I enjoyed their many, many series.

Sad days...

 

[MrCunningham]

He's actually getting married.

Oh. Still not great news to return too.

 

[Tregard]

That mic mute was incredible

 

[MODEYV3]

What am i gonna do for E3 now?!

 

[Novel Mike]

I just can't even think. I tweeted to everyone but god damn I just can't...

There is no other site that has brought me so much fun over the years...

The retrospectives
GT time
Invisible Walls (even though I hate Shane)
Timeline
Final Bosman
Huber Hype
Their Top 10s (Fuck they just had a great one too)
Trailer Score
Pop Fiction
Mandatory Update

and so much much more...

God damn Defy for doing this I just can't even think straight right now.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

LMAO. Brandon was about to tell the story about a movie and the mic got CUT JUST WHEN HE BEGUN. I love it.

He at least told it afterwards.

 

[CGwizz]

End with the best gaming site , so fucking smart the people who bought them...

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Out of no where .
Going to miss them around E3 time .

 

[hlhbk]

Brandon Jones voice carried me through so many videos. I hope their contents will be archived for us to view again.

Sad days...

I wonder how long the site will be up? What is the easiest way to download their archive now?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Hey, they are suggesting to download videos, since they don't know what will happen to them. Shit.
