Lack of game news in Giant Bomb

So while GB is by far my favorite game site I find that I keep going for news of games to www.gamespot.com or www.ps3fanboy.com as I find that there is no actual good way to get gaming news in GB. Anyone finding that as well? also to look a t game videos/previews.

Still way too early bro, right now its all about getting the site up first.

Yeah, I'd say that maybe in a month or two, when things get stabilized, then it'll start being your news and previews resource. Right now, I agree, it isn't.

I still go to GameSpot for news.

I go to N4G, superior then any other gaming news site lmao.

same"

Its not the lack of news that dissapoint me, its the lack of video reviews and trailers and stuff like that. The reason I liked these guys so much on GS was because of great and many video reviews (which theres only two so far) and all the video stuff like On the Spot, ect. I hope they do something like a video bombcast, because frankly, podcasts bore me.

That stuff will get here definitely,its a thing that you expect on any gaming site so of course its coming. The site is still very new(and launched called 'beta' for a reason), and before they launched this and had to go crazy with approving everyones posts and such,they just got out of E3. things will come together sooner than you think ,really,give the guys a chance to breathe.

Hey guys,

If you are still going to Gamespot for news let me just give you a tip:
 You are way behind in your news.

If you really want fast news about everything gaming, the best site is Kotaku. Honestly, if all of you want to be really good informed gamers your two sites should be Giant Bomb for game specific information and awesome community and Kotaku for every news story that breaks out around the world.

Jeez, the site just launched. Give 'em some time.
And yeah, I second Kotaku.

Agreed, still way too early IMO.

From the Giantbomb FAQ:
"Well, yeah, but the point is that Giant Bomb isn't interested in the fire-hose approach to video game coverage. Our editorial team is small and experienced, and our job is to highlight the stuff that we feel is significant, either to us on a personal level, or for video games at large. That's not everything, but it's still a lot. Though, we're not real big on sports games, so don't expect too much meaningful/informed Madden coverage."

Yeah, the main priority is getting the site up and making sure it stays working.  Then we can improve on it, with news, etc. 

BTW, I use Kotaku.  I'll probably end up using both when the site starts feeding more news.

I kind of expected that of GiantBomb, I doesn't bother me because some sites I have always used for game news and probably always will.

yeah
I don't just use giant bomb yet because of the whole news thing but they'll get that up sometime
I mainly come for the community

Just use Kotaku for industry news.

LMFAO, obviously you have no idea what N4G is... noob lol. :P

I threw Joystiq/Kotaku into Google Reader and it keeps me covered in terms of news.

I'm never really impressed by either but the important news trickles through so it works.

LMFAO, dude N4G is like digg for gaming, it posts news from IGN, Kotaku, GameSpot, GiantBomb, Joystiq, and every other gaming site out there. So yeah, its like the place where you can get info from all other websites.

PS- Don't call me a dumbass when you have no clue what you are talking about in the first place... ridiculous.
"

Is there really a need for another gaming news site?

It is also funny that people come here and still go to Gamespot based on recent history.

You know what else is like digg for gaming? Digg

Kotaku.

Gaming news is always just recycled from other sites anyway.

Wikipedia explains it well (I was looking for a direct quote from Jeff, but I couldn't find one, so Wikipedia will have to do):

Unlike most video game websites, Giant Bomb will not heavily cover industry news in a business perspective. During an interview on X-play, Gerstmann commented that a lot of the video game news had become "stale".Users on Giant Bomb will have the ability to create blogs, keep track of their game collections, and add information to game entries.Additionally, message boards for the site have been confirmed, saying that "building a community of people...is a big part of what Giant Bomb is all about

But they are still going to TGS? E3? Leipzig? GDC? and more? :S

Its too early BTW you can use N4G or Kotaku for news.

We should make something like N4G on our website :D

Stop fighting. You sound childish.

well if you listened to thier podcasts or watched their videos they do mention that they are not interested in over-covering the game industry. he said other game sites cover way too much news and that giantbomb.com is only interested in deliver exactly what we're interested in and what is important to us.
