Is Giantbomb the new old gamespot?

As the title suggest, I have noticed that ALOT of the old staff have come forward to this website, so is this the old gamespot that we all use to love? I have been a member to this site for a while but only recently REALLY started to use it alot, really enjoy using the Site. I think its very fast, very slick and very easy to navigate and I love the whole HTML5 format and it does bring back a bit of nostalgia from the old site, if I could request one (well 2) things for this website, that is marathons, much like the old 12 hour marathon that was done with Skyrim by Greg Kasavin, and of course Greg him self coming to this site would be great! 
 
Are there alot of old die-hard gamespot fans here? (Is it even right to mention gamespot on this iste? : / ) Just curious to see, I know gamespot has changed ALOT since all the good staff left. How often do you guys use this website? Do you do alot of editing? I want to start getting into it but need to get to grips on the whole site first before I start digging into that.  
 
But yeah, just posting just to see how you guys like the site?  Not sure how long its been around for but I love it and hope it stays does nothing but get better : ) 

No. 
 
Giant Bomb is the Giant Bomb.

And here I thought all the misguided Gamespot hate would die off once Giantbomb came into its own

" No.  Giant Bomb is the Giant Bomb. "

Yes I was a die hard Gamespot and stopped following the site after the shift of staff.
But I'm not following Giantbomb because it consists of old gamespot people. I follow Giantbomb because it's a really unique concept with the wiki pages and great work with quick looks and other means to show us the games.
 
So as Axxol said.
Giant Bomb is not the new old Gamespot. 
It's the Giant Bomb.

I came here when 1up died, which was about the same time as gamespot.  

No, Giantbomb is it's own unique thing. Sure, a lot of the old Gamespot staff are working there, but the video content is completely different, more informal and impromptu, I almost like it better than old Gamespot. Plus, Greg Kasavin, Bob Colayco, Bryan Ekburg, Rich Gallup, Carrie Gouskos etc. were just as important in making Gamespot what is was.

Giant Bomb is the classic Heaven.

Well, some people do seem to treat it that way. :/

Thank you. Giant Bomb is not the old this or the new that. It is and forever will be it's own thing. "

I don't know what Giantbomb is

Word. "

My two cents: No, Giant Bomb is not the new Gamespot, but yes, you will a similar brand of the great humor that made the old Gamespot so much fun here.

My god, I love this site.

Outside of the core crew i think its nothing like Gamspot.

There is nothing better than Giant Bomb.

Closest you're ever gonna get, sure.

A lot of people think it is. Then get all bummed when it really isn't

" Giant bomb is one thing only:  The Shit. "

What's Giant Bomb?

" There is nothing better than Giant Bomb. "

Greg's Oblivion marathon was pretty damn awesome, I was actually thinking about it today.  
 
Giantbomb is Giantbomb, a beast all it's own.  

NIgga you Kwazy!

I was happy to see Ryan Macdonald and Jody Robinson *swoon* on TNT Thursday...wish they coulda hung out and chatted it up more would have liked to see MacDonald play some VS with Jeff. That would have been eventful.  
 
The GS moderation in the community was terrible though, if you ask me. GB seems to have more an appreciation for a sense of humor which makes it it's own thing to me.

Nah I think Gamespot's glory days were better than Gaintbomb.

its it own thing , I feel

I don't understand what you're trying to say here? Am i being mocked without realising it?  "

I loved the old GS I remember I started going to the site in 01 and then I left after what happen with Jeff GB doesnt feel like the old the GS its feels less corprate which is what you would wish for  it seems like they definitely have more fun on here of course.But I do miss some of  the other GS staff that's doing there own thing these days it would be cool to  if  they had a  reunion of sorts.Greg K to this day is still my favorite reviewer of all time the way he talked about games you could tell he has a real general love for it.But anyways I'm so glad GB exist they feel like family in a weird way  I been listening to them so long there the best no doubt.

It's a HotSpot reference. If you don't get it, your probably better off.  Just know that Jonathan Davis and Korn are douche bags and Haze was an awful game.  "

It is similar, just without the horrendous haircuts and monotonous video commentary. It's just better IMO. 

No-one is more authentic than Ryan Davis.

Oh right, fair enough! I already knew Haze was an awful game though, who doesn't?

It's only similar in how much of the staff comes from old GameSpot. The content and communities are completely different.

@Danbo:  Here is the clip. It's totally worth watching.
  

I like GB more than I think I ever liked GS. Gamespot was good, but never like GiantBomb. 

Gamespot was just the Giant Bomb zygote.

Giant Bomb is great. They pioneered the quick look which is far better than any heavily edited video review. They gave us a giant wiki for writing about games. They have a great podcast that talks about those games. The only thing left for Giant Bomb to officially become the best website for videogames is to add sorting options for all the wiki data, and the ability to cross-sort the data.

Giant Bomb is what GameSpot never could be.
