Does this count as news?

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GAMEFAQS?
We've launched a new version of the site, "V13", a more modern and stylish version of GameFAQs.

WHY DID YOU CHANGE THINGS?
We created this new version of the site for many reasons. First of all, the use of modern HTML/CSS it lets us do away with the mobile site completely. This version looks correct regardless of screen size, making it perfect for phones, tablets, laptops, computers, etc. It can also responsively respond to size changes on the fly, ensuring it will look correct even when you change the browser window size. The underlying code remains the same, but it is presented in a much cleaner manner.

Other important factors include a more consistent look throughout the site and code that is much easier to maintain on our end.

The guides remain untouched

Looks terrible lol

 

[WiiDSmokers]

And a mobile version. Nice!

Has tons of annoying huge ads on mobile :/

 

[flyinpiranha]

lol fucking stoopid l2code

I apologize, I should stop ripping on GameFAQs, but man, I've been using the MH3U stuff and the threads are a pain to read.

 

[Korigama]

Just saw it. It's awful.

 

[Like the hat?]

It doesn't seem all that different to me

 

[DrAndonuts]

It's like Facebook and Wordpress had an irrelevant baby.

 

[CaptainSlow]

Maybe to work with the Xbox One's snap Internet Explorer feature?

EDIT: As I putz through the website, it looks exactly the same as the old GameFAQS...what was the point then?

 

[Canis lupus]

eeewww

 

[Vermillion]

Rounder.

 

[KarmaCow]

Looks alright but,

This is just a mess.

 

[KillerTravis]

Wow looks good.

 

[CielTynave]

Negative reaction on pretty much every board right away too, lol.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Can't be worse than the Flickr redesign.

 

[Spongebob]

Looks pretty similar.

 

[Tizoc]

Eh doesn't look all that different from those images...

 

[nintendoman58]

Doesn't look all that different to me.

 

[Levyne]

So much...white..

like..look at this section of PS3 upcoming release page

ugh

 

[Stumpokapow]

Won't change the fact that Wikia is washing away the site entirely. :/

 

[No_Style]

Can't check it at work but it looks fine based on those images.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Still exactly the same number of clicks to get to a specific FAQ. Grats on the refactor of their code, I guess.

 

[shakin_haitian]

If this thread wasn't created, I would have never known the difference, as I only go there for the occasional walkthrough.

 

[khaaan]

Looks like it's GameFaqs: Rounded Edges edition.

 

[mavs]

Whoa, that looks like GameFAQs.

 

[antitrop]

I like it. It's different enough to keep things interesting, but familiar enough not to be obnoxious and intrusive.

 

[Dice]

I don't mind the template, but I have a major problem with the colors.

 

[erpg]

Rarely use it on my desktop, but if the mobile site was improved, I'm all in.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Still looks like GameFAQs to me. Hardly any different.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i see we have different definitions of "massive"

 

[Seda]

EDIT: Here's a comparison shot of a specific game main page I guess.

 

[Papytendo]

Looks the same from when I last went there ten years ago.

 

[Espada]

The more things change the more they stay the same.

It's different but at the same time... it's not. Good job, I guess.

 

[Tucah]

It looks like GameFAQs but worse

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'm alright with it. Just like with previous redesigns, I'll get used to it.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

It's not all the different lol.

 

[strafer]

Gamefaqs, oh the memories.

 

[Iacobellis]

I find it funny how they switched to 3D while most sites are transitioning to 2D. Look at The Verge and Polygon, for example.

 

[Valnen]

Like the new look on the message boards, hate it on everything else.

 

[FlyFaster]

woah.... crazy.

I've had an account on gamefaqs for what... I think, 17 years? lol. First time I've ever seen it change.

 

[SJRB]

Welcome to 1998, Gamefaqs? Fire your designer.

 

[It's Reyn Time!]

I love that the little explanation about the change is worded as if it was pulled straight from their forum; "WHAT HAPPEN TO MY GAMEFAQS WHY U CHANGE IT?!!!"

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Looks better, but man has it been ages since I was there last...

apparantly Im an Idol on the site? haha

 

[Leezard]

It's not all the different lol.

Yeah, I don't see the massive part.

 

[Dresden]

It's like the same layout. Site was never a looker anyways.

 

[reggie]

.

 

[DoomGyver]

I haven't visited gamefaqs since oh probably 2005, and it looks the same to me.

 

[dakkumauji]

I just think there's too much white space now.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

So it's FAQsbook now.

 

[Vanille]

Not sure I like the main page for individual games

Doesn't look any different to me.

 

[Dolphin_Butter]

There's a lot of empty space between some of the page elements. Otherwise, the site is still snappy and nothing seems outright broken, so I'm sure I'll get used to the change quickly.

 

[The Elite]

Welp. That looks fantastic.

NeoGAF had a nice run.
