After 13 years, Game Trailers is closing down.
The new came via their official Twitter account, accompanied by replies from various developers, publishers and industry figures.
IGN today announced that it has acquired GameTrailers, the venerable video-centric site that launched in 2002 and was shut down in February by its parent company, Defy Media.
Former GameTrailers Staff have decided to come together to create their own company.
Good for them. I wish them all the best of luck and every success for the future.
I shall be tuning in to their shows with great enthusiasm :)
HuberxBosman confirmed. Shenmue hype engaged. For real though, Bosman's show at its best was one of the best game shows going. Dry, sarcastic and glorious.

That's great news. I'm pretty sure if those guys get together whatever they do will be worth watching.
Kyle was pretty much the only reason I visited that site. But I'll definitely give this new one a shot.
They just released a new forum, where did this come from?
NOOOOOOOO. http://www.nooooooooooooooo...
GameTrailers has such great content of late. :'(
#HuberHype!!!! I wish all of the guys the best of luck wherever they move to next.
Nooooo....I love Gametrailers. :(
It has been a great ride and hoping all the staff members there will find new jobs soon. One of my most trusted source of gaming reviews.
Anyone remember their show on Spike hosted by the Doritos Pope??
This is nuts! Their reviews are more in line with my tastes than any of the other big name sites (I've no interest in anyone's opinions at ign, polygon, edge, eurogamer, gamespot). Not good. They're where I discovered AVGN etc.
Had a feeling something was going on when their various apps ceased working, Lol but it's still nuts! They *just* posted a Firewatch video review for PS4, which metacritic have erroneously listed in the PC section but not the PS4 one. Very sudden
