There it is finally, this site was announced quite a long time ago and many times delayed. We had to have it done for E3, and we barely did it. Some features had to be cut, but not that much and I'm fairly happy with the end result. Of course I'm sure there are still quite a few bugs and old code in the dusty corners of the site, but I still hope you'll like the change. It's worth nothing though that the new forum is not final and it will be changed quite a bit over the following week.
In case you do not want to see the news and games of all the console manufacturers, you can choose what will be displayed on your account page.

Some of the new features are a way for us to show you exactly the important things immediately via the three big top story images, and also the new archives allowing you guys to find older news more easily than before. You'll also notice that our editors now can write blogs, where they'll certainly let you know about their wonderful adventures as gaming journalists.
Most of the pages have been more or less profoundly changed visually, the easiest one to notice would be the news page, and the download one. And I'm sure you'll agree they really needed it.

Also important to note is that this site is now officially edited by the Gamersyde SARL, a French company funded by Snoopers and myself. So I guess that makes us officially professionals, but don't think it will make us do fewer mistakes in the news :)

oh and are gamer tags are gone. i'm guessing its one of those features that got cut?

Nope, just that they're only visible on your personal page.

I just sat there with my mouth wide open for a while thinking "what the hell happened? I pressed "home" on the forum bar didn't I?"

Then I peed my pants.

Awesome!

Nice. I hope it won'tturn our forums into console wars.

We'll keep the peace. Even if it's violent.

Well... after 1034 days I thought: Damn! I think it's time to write sth and say hello to everyone! :)
Untill now I just loved to read everything on these sites (xboxyde & playsyde) but when I finally saw them merged into one I just knew I had to say congrats and all the best to Blim, Snoopers and their fantastic crew!

So... hello everyone! :)
