If You Are Reading This, Then GR Has Changed It's Look

It hasn't changed yet, but FIRST!

sob.

bug report #1, edit function is not available for admins. bug report #2 option to punch longo in the beanbags not available.

But I don't want to be punched in the beanbags. I use those for things.

Yeah, you do, not anyone else.

If this isn't a problem and I'm just blind, I'll cry, but I can't find how to get to my forum settings, like changing my sig and stuff. That could be. annoying.

Overall, some of the changes are most certainly very good.

The "rn" problem seems to be gone too! Which is a very, very good thing.

It looks like most of the changes are good, and you said they're going to tone down the white (and that's good).

And hey, where the forum tabs on the right? It's gone!

But beside that and the white part, everything looks good. Love the feature video up there but it would be better if it would randomize instead of showing the latest videos. But that's just my opinion, it's still cool!

it was one hell of a shock to see the bright white in place to the black void. but once the shock wore off, it's all fine. fine like wine.

I don't like the change, Red was always a Game Revolution thing. Going white is kind of a wtf moment for me. Also, it's not as intuitive as the previous rendition of Game Revolution, It reminds me of Ebaumsworld now. The User Interface on this site is confusing. That kinda doesn't help a site garner newcomers. This really doesn't feel like a Game Revolution site anymore.

I like the old colors better but it looks good with the menu layout on top instead of on the side.

Where is the member reviews section, and if it's not coming back, how will we be able to access user reviews on games not reviewed by you guys.

I gotta agree with Ranim and Cheese (which sounds like a meal available at your local "Trés Poseur Café"); menu up top is great, white space is not so much. The black background wasn't too tough on the eyes, all this white makes me feel like I'm outside in the sun or something.

The white makes it so much harder for me to blend in. Everything else seems fine though.

My complaints:
-White instead of black. F*ck your benefactors wishes I want GR back in black.
-Selecting a platform from the Consoles drop-down is confusing since it just changes all the displayed games to the system of your choice, but otherwise looks exactly like the home page.
-The Recent Forum Topics menu doesn't show up on the home page, it only shows up when going to another page of the site, like the Manifesto or a game review.

I'm using Chrome most of the time and it sees stuff messed up. Firefox renders it as it should be. I will also agree to it being harder on the eyes. My opinion: it just doesn't look right. You've got beautifully rendered advertisements and then this white void. Void is too big a word for it, but it does feel empty.

In addition I feel the scrolling previews at the top has been over done and don't care for it.

Either way I welcome the changes our czar brings us.

Main complaint about this right here? I had to highlight everything in order to read it. wtf?

You know what I want? I want the welcome page with the junkyard car with Game Revolution sprayed on it. If you can at least give us that, I'll be tickled pink.

The whole streamlined look of the site is nice. It's a nice change of pace. :3

I like logos when selecting my platform, thx.

Eww, the black looked much better.

Liked the black background better, this white one lights up the whole room at night. Also the main pages seem too saturated. Menu on top will need getting used to but I think it is a wise decision, not sure I like the font though.

Please. go back to black.
Its to bright it hurts my eyes.

Looks too much like every other gaming website out there, in my opinion.

I find the white a little distracting. I'm going to have to change my icon

Bug #3? I voted on your voter thingy and with this;
Bring back the Red and Black! - 58% / 231 Votes
The bar shows a (0~1%) only.

The whiteness IT BURNS!!!

I agree with the others when i say the white definitely feels like it's going to destroy my eyes. O_O

I agree, please return to Black. I enjoy the layout change but please return to the black and Red GR is famous for. I don't feel good saying this. but the white we have now makes GR look like almost every other Game site out there. it suddenly doesn't stand out.

This site has totally lost its originality. And lose the apostrophe in the word "it's" in the title of this manifesto! IT'S bothering me.

I like the layout, just not the color scheme, do something so where users can make their own custom schemes per user, kind of like Nintendo's forum site.

I have nothing to complain on the count of the daily manifesto was launched after all the threads concerning the new changes. Did Obama motivate you guys?

not a fan of white, didn't think it was worth complaining about though.

Wow I cant say that I love it right away. Lets see if the new format is actually more efficient.

"Changed" is too strong of a word. "Copied" from Gamespot and ign is a more fitting word. but then I guess AtomicOnline wants a slice of the pie by fooling the masses into thinking we are them.

Seems like originality is no longer part of being a gaming website.

the first thought that sprang to mind when the page loaded up: "Wait, did I accidentally go to gamespot by mistake? I wanted to go to Game Revolution." Too much White, too similar to every other game website out there, the most recent features window thingy is a nice idea but is poorly executed, and the site just doesn't feel like Game Revolution anymore. Unless looking like everyone else is revolutionary. Bring back the red and black.

I originally liked the previous colors because when we typed/read words, they appeared in white. Black text is just so. OLD and unoriginal in it's own right.

I'm hating the new white background, and the new layout makes it look like every other god-damned gaming website.

This layout removes this site's inexplicible pro (the opposite of con) that enables site owners, writers and talkbackers to say words like "****". Me no likey.

You guys are "haterz" The white background yes it gives me headaches and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one. The layout of the site is fantastic, i totally love it. There's a few kinks that is wrong with the navigation but us forum users have posted links that could get us where we wanted to go until that situation is fixed.

lol @ UghRochester, that guy can't change ****, he's just a whole lot of the same old same old. Try Jacque Fresco and get back to me with that change you're lookin' for.

I just say i rather have black than white. I would also prefer a dark blue in the main bar/post a comment title/etc. instead of this dark blue&green.
Basically (for now) just the color layout, I don't mind the bugs as long as they get fixed in the short/medium term.
I like the main bar also, but I would prefer to click in the GR banner instead of the HOME button to go HOME (but no big deal.)

Up the GR!

The Red is back! Hooray. White and Red is going better than the gray and white. Though that was probably just an advertisement.

I don't like it. I mean, the layout is fine and whatnot but as alot of people have already said; I just can't do black on white. I have terrible eyes dues to years of staring at Tvs and Monitors. I suspect most that frequent this site have the same problem. PLEASE change it back. You don't have to be IGN!

Really? The new look is horrible. I've been with GR since nearly the start and I always loved the dark and brooding colors. I hated it when you changed to gr.bolt and I hate it even more when you add white to the mix.

At least keep the option for us to revert back to the old format, that would keep everyone happy.

I have been going to this site first for probably 10 years or so, maybe a couple less. And I don't think I'll come back. It does look like every other game site now, so I might as well just go to IGN. The revolution is officially over.

Hmm looks a bit nicer, but damn do I miss the old style. I'd been frequenting this site for years before I signed up in 08. Good times.

Oh, and your topic should read "Its" not "It's" guys. You're welcome :)

I hate the white but the rest is cool.

I think it would be cool to add the ability to post a comment on every article posted at the "Gaming News" section. Anyone agrees? Oh, and has anyone else had difficulty login in?

First it was PC game boxes,. then it was PC game manuals, then it was PC games, now it's gaming sites going 'corporate'. Just like other sites, I feel I am now visiting a business software site - which means I won;t be back as often.

@ usaglory

Ya the login in form at the bottom never works for me.

White on the monitor is tougher on the eyes. It is not like reading a blank piece of paper, but rather like staring at a light bulb. Black background eith clear fonts is easier on the eyes, makes for god contrast and is overall a better choice for any web site.
