You can change the colors at the bottom right of the screen.

Good to know. I didn't like the redesign at first but its growing on me. Cloudy Blue looks really good. Even though I stopped using the boards I occasionally go to Gamefaqs for guides since not every game has a wikia or a decent one.

 

[TriGen]

Still looks like GameFAQs to me. Hardly any different.

That's how I feel.

 

[Satchel]

Massive?

I can barely tell the difference.

 

[Tnetennba]

That doesn't look half bad. They need to keep the design simple and if they changed the layout too much you'd get people raging cause it'd be slightly less convenient to navigate. Bearing that in mind it's about as large an improvement as they could've gotten with such a design.

 

[R_thanatos]

i choose red on dark as a color because of some reason the site appears WERY WHITE to me

Something like it's was hard to navigate properly.

Man, I haven't visited gamefaqs in years. Many years.
Not sure whether this speaks about me as a gamer or about modern games.

Fewer and fewer games require FAQs and cheat codes nowadays.

 

[Videoneon]

It doesn't look better to me, though not significantly worse either. Whatever...

 

[Mr-Joker]

Do some of you guys really come to the site just for the poll of the day? I remember years back there was a poll of the day asking why you were on the site, and the majority of people voted that it was to vote in the poll of the day. I always found that really strange. I suppose most people coming for a FAQ or something would just ignore it, but even then I wouldn't expect the majority of people who vote in the poll to come to the site solely with the intent of voting, especially considering that occasionally on social boards people discuss the poll.

Nah I very rarely go on Gamefaq unless I actually need to use the walk-through, I just like seeing the result of the polls and trying to get an understanding of what makes people tick.

 

[doemaaan]

Woah... Dat "Cotton Candy" theme is burning my retina.

 

[Pirzolaman]

I visit Gamefaqs since 2002, and I like this new look very much. Need refreshment from time to time IMO.

 

[NekoFever]

I like that I can access (some) retro consoles from the homepage without having to drill down into other pages. Other than that it's not really very different as far as I can see.

Spoiler

Bring back GameFAX.

 

[Air]

I noticed alot of GAF members from NGG, I'm not going to tell how tho @_@

I actually used to visit that board a lot before I stopped visiting gamefaqs. I actually discovered GAF due to being on a "secret" board at the time too.

they don't even do anything for april fools anymore. it's really sad because they used to at least put some effort into it.

 

[Aretak]

Looks great. GameFAQs has had far, far worse redesigns over the years.

 

[carriacou]

The default colour scheme could be better but I'll live with it.

What really surprises me is that the PS2 & Wii boards have been taken down from the front page while the PSP's is still up.

 

[~ZIO~]

I have no qualms with the changes.

And with the option to change the colors so I can make it dark, I find it extremely desirable. I like to have my forums dark as they're easy on the eyes.

 

[Sanctuary]

It's kind of amazing that GameFAQs is still clinging to life, post-wikia and post-Youtube.

CTRL+F

 

[Batigol]

Glad to see they finally stepped out of 1999

 

[shinobi602]

Looks nice to me.

 

[Alo81]

Man people are ridiculous.

It looks fine.

Edit: You can choose colors? Alright it just went from just fine to great. Good work designers.

 

[Booya_base]

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

Pure class.

Since the advent of youtube videos explaining tough parts of games and wikis for more in-depth games, I haven't visited GameFAQs in aaages. I have to admit it was pretty useful way back when though.

 

[lazybones18]

Hmm....I think I'll stick with the orange color for now

edit: Now orange on black

edit 2: Back to just orange

 

[Deadbeat]

Im only a Sage, sadly.

 

[Everdred]

Massive redesign? How about some CSS changes. You could make that redesign in less than a week.

 

[Monocle]

The layout is pretty close to how it was before. The new fonts look a bit strange, but I don't visit the site regularly so I can't complain.

 

[Randdalf]

Looks like they took elements of the GiantBomb website and inserted them into the GameFAQs design. The "new" button in this screenshot, for instance

 

[Shallwhat]

I frequent here and GameFaqs and I love the new redesign. I used GameFaqs to get quick help for any games I'm playing or discuss certain things about games I'm playing. I use NeoGAF to read and respond to the news information mostly.

 

[Jakeh111]

Never forget

 

[tokyostomp]

I like it.

Dislike all the negative space on the left and right sides of the screen. I know it's for ads but with adblock it's just all white to me.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Something changed?

 

[perfectchaos007]

I left that site around the time CjayC left. I like Evilore's leadership here better. For one, he would never leave his site to someone else so he could pursue another venture.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

You can change the colors at the bottom right of the screen.

What bottom right of the screen? I Don't see the option to change colors anywhere?

 

[adversary]

I don't see that much different from when I used to go there years ago. It just looks a bit bit more modern than before.

 

[Plexirvones]

What bottom right of the screen? I Don't see the option to change colors anywhere?

at the bottom of the page

 

[Roto13]

Entirely too white.

*changes to cloudy blue*

Yeah, that's fine. The only parts I use are functionally identical to how they ever were, so whatever.

 

[BasilZero]

GameFaqs is Next-Gen ready.

 

[papersleeves]

Oh wow, the site settings do not appear to work anymore too. I've been using the 2003 style for a decade

 

[Ultratech]

Meh, don't really care for it.

Looks obnoxious.

Woah... Dat "Cotton Candy" theme is burning my retina.

OH GOD MY EYES

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I can't tell the difference. Just looks like it has more curves now, maybe.

 

[Komo]

Woo, two colors!

 

[emb]

Like almost all site redesigns, my knee jerk reaction was to hate it. I think I'm growing to like this one though. Still retains the simplicity I liked about the site, but feels a little smoother. It's just a weird change. Everything feels bigger. Or something. I dunno.

 

[kick51]

OMFG so awful I think I'm gonna throw up did they pay people to do this? lol [redesigned site] can say goodbye to my patronage. you know who isn't stupid enough to visit such an ugly site? this guy. Presentation is 99% of the battle and they just lost.


JK it looks basically the same and all the faqs are still there. great success!

 

[Haunted]

Never forget

Is that a preview for their next redesign?

 

[Alo81]

Looks like they took elements of the GiantBomb website and inserted them into the GameFAQs design. The "new" button in this screenshot, for instance

They're both CBS owned now so it's the same design team who worked on both sites.

 

[Zok310]

Looks ok, but damn i have been on GF for 11 years, this is like their 1st remake since sagasages.com

 

[Azure Phoenix]

The biggest casualty of the redesign is the PS2 button being kicked off the top bar. Good night, sweet prince.

 

[RM8]

Mayes me wish NeoGAF had different looks.

 

[Raonak]

thank god for auto screen size. I like.

 

[PreyingShark]

Aww, I miss the design from my childhood. Let's see, I was like 9 so 21 - 9 = 12 years ago so... 2001. I want that design back dang it.
