OH MAN, thanks a lot for this! I missed that video | |
damn had some fun times in GT back then (2008-2011). sucks its closing but the changes killed this site long ago. | |
Turn based....Turn based....Single player. Loved this video. Bookmarked.
Loved the basketball community we had here on GT. Was one of the things I missed when I returned. | |

Was one of the things I missed when I returned.[/quote]Yeah man, the basketball/NFL community was awesome back then. same with the factions. this site offered so much more than just gaming at its peak, it its what kept people coming back. it is a damn shame its going out like this... | |
lol dont even know how to use this site properly... but @JakandDaxter Yeah the basketball/NFL community was awesome back then. same with the factions. this site offered so much more than just gaming at its peak, it its what kept people coming back. it is a damn shame its going out like this... | |
HAHAHAHAHA | |
Added! Guys, mine is @WhiteMousse. I'm the guy making breakfast with no shirt! | |
Rest in peace GT ! Long live video games ! | |
I will miss you GT, despite all the times I was banned. QUICK EVERYONE, lets add each other. | |
I think it's time to show this to everyone. Pretty much confirming what you all have suspecting concerning factions. | |
This is truly surprising, didn't think it would happen so soon. Just want to say I'll miss you GT.. | |
Yeah well, what do you expect Whatever moron/s were changing it constantly are to blame. Adding new dumb features while removing those that made people stay like factions, their forums, level and blog posts. The site was basically a youtube channel with its own features and forums before youtube was even youtube, regulated to a large extent by the community itself. But somehow some twat at corporate/higher levels was so worried about being left behind that the dumb fuck brought everything down inadvertently. FFS, they even have misspelled names right now, at the bottom of the page (Halo 5 Gaurdians" All we wanted was a site to watch videos about games and the features that made GT unique and worthwhile visiting. But your MBA degree/mentality "herpaderp ima running a business" thought it wasn't good enough, removed the good stuff and threw countless other shit to see what stuck. Seal the coffin once and for all and be done with it. | |
I made another account just to post this. I Joined in 2008 but didn't post until around early 09. Doubt anyone will remember me but I went under the name TimeSplitterMonkey and BurnoutLegend. These forums were the first ones I ever made an account for. Ive been getting a nostalgia looking through this thread. Goodbye to my first internet home. | |
Damn shame, I really liked the site and the people behind it! I do have to admit though that I wasn't really visiting GT much since that last overhaul, after being on here a few times a week before. What I wanted from the site was to download game trailers and later the original content as well. Since the changes I only watched about a dozen GT videos, and that on Youtube. Best wishes to the whole GT crew, you guys are great and I hope you'll all find new, satisfying jobs soon! <3 | |
Well it's not like GT ever did anything in a timely manner why would the closing of the site be any different :P | |
The close isn't official until the end of today. The forums will probably disappear around the end of the day. | |
Yeah its been about 24 hours since they announced it, so it should be anytime now :[ | |
Yeah, I wish they'd hurry the fuck up and be done with it. It's dragging on a bit now. | |
All I keep thinking about is that stupid Hammer Shell thread since the announcement. | |
You could see this coming from a mile away after the first redesign. Frequently visited forums for 8 years, so its a pretty sad day to see it go down, even though i didn't like any of the shows. Where will i go for my troll fix!? ;[ | |
this is one of the best videos of gametrailers | |
This is why private forums will always be better than ones owned by big companies, you tend to find private ones have better close knit communities with less trouble in them as well | |
I loved seeing user videos get featured, weren't blogs also featured too? | |
Additional context for this image: Kelly (Keldohead) was a staff member working on the technical side of the website remotely since near the beginning, but was laid off during another wave of layoffs that also had Chodefloater laid off as well So for an extended period of time during 2015 we had no visible technical staff | |
Hello everybody, this is my first (and probably last post). I didn't know where else to put this or how to reach GT, so here goes: Dear Gametrailers, I don't know if you will ever get to read this, but regardless I wanted to personally thank you for the past few years. Although, when I say "few" I mean approximately ten. I started watching GT shows when I was around sixteen I believe and as I am writing this I am 26 years old. You guys have been with me (and in a sense I have been with you) for some of the most important periods of my life. E3s came and went, consoles came and went and some of my favourite games of all time have been released during that time. You will probably hear this more than once (and I don't mind being part of that pile), but it feels like you helped me on my personal way. You didn't write my tests or fight my demons, but you provided joy or at least distraction, when the walls were closing in on me. There have been so many moments, where your videos made me feel a little better when I was down, wrestling with university or private life. This is a thing that should not be underestimated: Your creations made me laugh - they made me cry - they made me yell at my monitor (sometimes together you you guys). Your efforts made me smile, when I shouldn't have been. I want to thank Brandon Jones for his manly voice (especially his part in the Bloodborne musical, holy shit!). I don't know what else to say. It's incredibly sad to see Gametrailers go and I don't even want to imagine how it must be for you magnificent bastards. It's like seeing a good friend leave. I tip my hat and raise my glass to all of you. Since English is not my first language, I hope I was able to understandably express my thoughts, but if nothing else made sense, then I just want to say: Thank you... Sorry that I made you read so much, | |
I'm pretty sure I got a message from that guy too. Something along the lines of what right we had to steal his identity or something. I had a file of screenshots somewhere. Around the peak in 08/09 I was getting a few messages like these a week. Man this place was busy back then. | |
So I decided to log back into my account after many years. It sucks to see that most of the comments I made are gone along with my avatar. But, it's whatever. Dear GT, I want to say thank you. When I was freshmen in high school, I remember coming home and loading up GT. It was awesome, despite not having a frkn console. As the years go on, I loved this site so much more. But, what made me leave GT was the site redesign...the forums became a second thought. Currently, I get my news on reddit (shout out to r/games), but...there is no denying GT played an integral part in my life. This is where it started for me...and I'll never forget what you did for me. Thank you...so much. | |
It's sad to see this site go. I've been here on and off since 2006 and this is the only gaming site I've ever liked and stuck to. Unfortunately I saw this coming due to all of the changes and overhauls. I don't understand why websites always need to change everything for the worst. Every change I see leads to bad things. It's unfortunate. | |
Hi Zuly! :P | |
Wow.... this is the only site I've been a continuous member of these past 9 years. Sad to see it go | |
I figure you guys would like to see this too. This was posted over on neogaf.

I recall seeing that.
It was really a joy for the time GT users uploaded videos for the community to see. And get rewarded for their effort with GTP that could go towards winning something in the Auction house. Mazer's videos were a nice addition to the community too.
