A Walkthrough of the New ScrewAttack!

[thaneros]

New site sux ballz crashes my IE8

[DragardKaos]

@thaneros Internet Explorer 8 is terrible... Get FireFox or Chrome, or if you're a loyal "fan" at least upgrade to IE9... But seriously, Internet Explorer is one of the worsts browsers out there...

[dreamkaster64]

the website used to be slow but now its just not working on my computer at all. I could use the beta just fine too

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Seriously what happened to the link to the beta?????!!!!!1111!!!!?????111­1!

It's like crack!

I needs mah betaz!!

[TheUltimateBeing01]

WTF?

I can't get to the beta!

[Marioiswicked]

i just saw the whole salsa video THATS FUCKING NASTY lol

[Marioiswicked]

i have been using the new screwattack all day, which is wierd because i didnt apply to be part of the beta but its AWESOME!!! the site works really well, im glad that i somehow got on it... i think screwattack retweeted a link on twitter so thats wierd... anyway cool

[cakijs14]

Gator Dont Play Shit!

[hinkeyman]

As long as we don't need to "put wifi in the tvs" every time I watch a video and they're more varied with the ads, I'm all good.

[Supertrekkie4]

cumming...

[MrPuple10]

Awesome. A sick ad about Gears 3 and then a vid by screwattack.

[m8o8c8k8]

august 3oth is my bday

[Spartah3ad]

jared must do all the hard news!

[kellykernaghan]

sorry, but it looks exactly the same to me

[xbox360andNDSdude]

@kellykernaghan Then you are blind ^.^

[bonesawmachete]

7777 veiws

[darkinertia2]

damn how the fuck do you guys make money? lol i havent seen any ads....everythings so streamline its awesome

[zc1995]

Hell ya!!!

[EconomyShark]

I don't like the new Screwattack.It's like they took all the parts about the site that made it unique then screwed em all up. Hopefully the Screwattack crew stays the same : /

[johnthwing]

for death battle wizard vs boomstick

[systmdfect]

Uhh, the new site reminds me a lot of Gamespot.com.

[JMrushlow]

spoony!

[ItsTheUkuleleMan]

I haven't been going to the site for the past few years...

Am going now.

[MeIsToneh]

When i started going on screwattack the current version was 4 and i thought it was pretty neat. The new screwattack looks a whole lot better. It's also great to have a functionnal search bar.

[spaceeskimo11t]

are you looking to compete with gametrailers and ign?

[ulrich5000]

@spaceeskimo11t ScrewAttack is 100% better than ign

[codycurry52]

"Tekken 6 just came out it's the hottest review right now." lol wut it's 2009 and no told me? 

[MegamegamikeG1]

I'm so happy they are pushing some of the community back. I don't think they realize that I go to their site to check out their content, not for some piece of shit blog by some idiot sheep. Now all you need to do is delete the entire community of MORONS and I will like the site again.

[MegamegamikeG1]

Looks way better than that shitty version 4 that they hyped for about a year and a half. That version was ASS

[theGFrom]

oh my god, this is sooo much better than version 4. I never really liked version 4...

[anythinggoesjoe]

when you pump something up way to much you kill it and that what happened the new site " LOOKS LIKE ASS "

[OmegaPlatinum]

So... Sounds like they're going to have a subscription service. Interesting.

[TheAffronted]

not a fan of the backround. sorry.

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

As long as I can do more pushups than Jared I'm safe from the rape master...gotta keep an eye on that...

[PolarPuberty]

Right of the bat.

[gonzo191]

omg the new site looks so awesome, the intro-\outro rocks as well

[blueluigi]

I have one question: Would users still be able to upload their own videos on the new screwattack website going by what I've seen in this new beta version?

[HarryFranz]

@blueluigi no, craig said that you should put links to the youtube video.

[IJUSTENDEDU]

More ads perhaps?

[allthingsawesome2]

cool

[Zeldaschampion]

what does g1 stand for?

[AQreviews]

Move the glow to the clip of the week

[Vip3rC4in0022]

@AQreviews No, ya move da gloew in to the  BAX!...wheeeEEENNN youdothat! you willl be DAY-rected into a neeewww Scween...so dont be supaised

[darkworldinc]

Your not apart of gametrailer no more? Thats good and bad.

[gonzo191]

@darkworldinc for me thats a good as my daily trips to GT have severely diminished as that site is constantly broken and i only visit for ScrewAttack's content mostly

[yhmmot]

the kittens doing a jedi battle just sealed the deal

[AmadeusExcello]

Please get rid of the in-video auto-play ads.

[MrSV991]

because of the new site, are you guys going to stop posting stuff on youtube to increase traffic or just simply leaving it as it is and have death battle, hard news and sidescrollers update on youtube?

[TheSt0neCold]

Destin at ign... Why destin? Why??? Its like leaving a loving wife (screwattack) for maybe pretty but dumb as ASS model(ign)!! And no, ign is not pretty at all!

[shamans123]

'WOAH IT'S LIKE WHEN I USE MY STEAM BROWSER AND GOOGLE BUT BETTER IN EVERY GAME/VIDEO RELATED AND POSSIBLE WAY :D'

-me

[appleAddict240872]

zillas(dot)screwattack(dot)com

this is the link to the new site!

[appleAddict240872]

much better site layout than gamesradar or ign.

[parshnip1]

Anyone else NOT looking forward to the written stuff. I hope they dont shift towards a more written focus

[ZeroDragon]

Looks awesome, great job guys.

[kyleangus]

Yes! The forums have a facelick! Finally!

[Casin01]

im gonna turn off my ad blocker just for you guys :D

[AtOthenewbkillah]

Screwattack is samus arans signature jump, right?

[Cocoabine]

Wait...

Jared can do 20 push-ups?

[Zeldaschampion]

@Cocoabine he's lying. it's just a joke. that's like making an announcement that Jared got a girlfriend.

[MINItheFox]

@Cocoabine THAT.. was hard news!

[toverkleet]

@Cocoabine I can do 21 push-ups. There! *slashes a whip* :p (i know bad joke)

[iSdtea]

OMG, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL @____@

[TheParadoxxReviews]

NO FUCKING VIDEOS??????

[figcoinc]

@TheParadoxxReviews You can have videos, but not via their video player. Most people who posted videos in blogs used Youtube anyway. So just to save their bandwidth they removed the function to upload directly to the site. Just use Youtube, and embed that instead. Most people did so anyway.

[Ericnorify]

Face lick. XD

[iwanttocreatavideoga]

@TheUltimateBeing01 THAT WOULD BE EPIC. A merge of screwattack with blistered thumbs/TGWTG would OWN THE INTERNET.

[TheUltimateBeing01]

@iwanttocreatavideoga

It would be cool.

There would be something for everyone.

Movie buffs, gamers, anime/manga fans, e.t.c

I doubt it would happen though....

Also, a few complaints about the site but they are minor.

1) It takes too long to get an email back to reactivate one's account.

2) The "New Screwattack" banner on the homepage needs to be fixed.

[suravian666]

14:14 stargate ubisoft sparkle :D

[landioma]

Finally. I used to visit the site every day before the current website version. Once it changed, I thought the layout was way too troublesome. Finally something sleek.

[716Darren]

@Gigaboost that not the new site the new site is in a closed beta right now for select users the site will be up in a few weeks

[GigaBoost]

What? The I just took a look at the site, it looks just like before? I mean, I never really visited and I won't visit even with the new look because there are clearly better sites out there for news and most of the video material is available on youtube and/or gametrailers any way...

[HotDogMarchant]

@GigaBoost Did you watch more than 5 minutes of the video? They initially just show the old site, then switch to the new one. Unless you're actually talking about the new one, then I don't know what you're talking about, it looks a lot different!

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

Can you guys make an iPad app?

[hinkeyman]

@ScReWaTtAcKeD Or...you know, use the site on the iPad...

[lorenzotheman]

What about your older videos? Will they still be there?

[SplitzMen]

@lorenzotheman all original content will be there

[Krukkie]

Great new website guys! Funny that I see this on my first day using Dreamweaver at school.

[TangIsHere]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[flo7flames]

ok so i'm gonna be honest...i am impressed

[Mustkunstn1k]

No Talk back bar? I want to know if someone has replied to my comment...

[theBRANDOProductions]

hey, will you guys still upload death battle to youtube?

[sugreev2001]

Just keep up the awesome work,guys.

[wethead77]

You guys should partner up with Extra Credits. They recently disbanded from The Escapist.

[Pissantloser]

@wethead77 Extra Credits was on Screwattack for a bit before they went to The Escapist.

[wethead77]

@Pissantloser Well they should go back to the new screwattack!

[Gohansan01]

"No website currently presents screenshots well"

Kotaku and Destructoid, we're looking at you.

[bluemidgetguy]

SHOW US THE NEW OFFICE YOU FAGGOT!

[OpinionatedBlog]

@screwattack, I have a quick question. Did I hear correctly that users can write news stories for the site? Because if that's the case, I'll be there with an account the very second that you open the site!

And is the only way into the beta through Twitter? I don't have an account as I personally don't see the point of Twitter.

[IndexTyrzi]

HOOOLLYY SHIT!!

2 over 30 min videos in... 1 day by screwattack!

This day is saved by entertainment.

[sonicb00m42]

site looks so sophisticated :P

[ChowChillaCharlie]

Death Battle with Spoony as a guest pl0x.

[NOSFERATUalu]

lol COMIN WERE COMIN FOR YOU IGN! FOR YOU DESTIN, FOOL xD

[Omegamario17]

I'll be uploading my stuff to Blip for my video entries, I do like Youtube but I wanna try to get something out of uploading content that I produce.

[volvo145]

i do prefethe menu on the side.

[TheUltimateBeing01]

@TheWeirdTeens

antisocial fat man?

I don't know who that is and can honestly say I don't care.

[BossMan4714]

So. Much. Change.



[greycolumbus]

Love the new logo. Incredibly legit.

[ziggieice]

old site looks better, sorry

[Mustkunstn1k]

@RKTGX95 James Rolfe and and Screwattack are just associates. They don't actually check what the other site does (except for the Gametrailers content of course).

[SpecterM91]

Video's giving me problems, somebody correct me if it's brought up in the actual video. But what's this about us losing our currently posted g1 content? FlashPenny just sent me a PM about it and I'm a bit pissed off if that's the case. Gotta make a new blog on another site and back up more than a hundred posts. Pain in the ass.

[jgiubardo]

I'm a little disappointed that death battle is leaving youtube. It is just a lot easier to view on mobile on youtube.

[BMFandu]

congratulations on the new site ,Good luck!!

[thatfilmgeek]

was there live at 11pm :D

[lasjd11]

Really really good redesign !

[gothan182]

any thoughts on making a screwattack smart phone app in the future Craig?

[DirectorInLabor]

@gothan182 I'm pretty sure I remember them saying something about the site being compatible with mobile phones :)

[mulkuth]

theres nu inspector gadget :( i cant understand!!! D:

[pubesz]

I'm excited! Are you excited?

[Zero86Sk]

Question, Will the GAIKAI demos be avalable world wide (all of europe, asia etc) or just USA and Canada

[Omegamario17]

@Zero86Sk Yep, head to GaiKai's website and give it a shot. They do work

[TheUltimateBeing01]

But I'll support ScrewAttack all the way by visiting their site everyday.

ScrewAttack 4ever!!!

[TheUltimateBeing01]

@TheWeirdTeens

Don't know him.

Who is that?

[glemmstengal]

anytime there is a popular opinion or unpopular decision made by a game company you can always count on Craig to either go against the opinion or tell you why the decision the company made isn't so bad!

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Like I said in an earlier comment, I think it's great that Screwattack is improving it's site. The site looks very good and I'm inspired by Craig and company's dedication to the new site. Not many people show that much interest in anything. But at the end of the day.... It's a website. I look forward to breaking it in, but still...

It's a website.

I mean I'm reading about people staying up all night just to watch the live stream of the site. That's just pathetic...

[TheUltimateBeing01]

@TheWeirdTeens

Let me guess.

Handsome Tom?

Yeah I went there.

[KillerMime64]

Will I still be able to access the old ste? Still some things I wanna watch. (more like a LOT of stuff :S)

[nightslayer23]

did graig just said ja haha ^_^

[KillerMime64]

@nightslayer23 His name is Craig :).... With a c

[nightslayer23]

@KillerMime64 srry my mistake haha thanks ^_^

[dragonchi26]

There was a great show called 'Extra Credits" that used to be on The Escapist, but they had to discontinue posting their videos there because of some quarrel. I would very much like to see them make a new home on your new site. Right now I think they are forced to use youtube. But they need a proper respected home with a fanbase.

Could you guys talk to them and get them to join you as a regular video poster?

[QuackerMan45]

screwattack became news 12 . com

[Bodil40]

That'ssssssssssss a nice site you have there :P

[CadenRedPearl]

YES, YES, KILL IGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheUltimateBeing01]

@toxicn00dle

If Jesus did plag videogames I wonder what his favorite would be?

O.o

[tymoor26]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IGN IS GOING DOWN!!!!!

[screwattack]

@tymoor26 with your help we can make some noise for the independent sites out there. we're not backed by Fox or Viacom or any other big companies. We're backed by you!

[Genstrider]

@screwattack You tried the "You gotta watch Hard News on our website now" before and it didn't work.

How is it gonna work this time?

[TheToob999]

@ is best screwattack 

[sneskegagama]

@screwattack AWWW YEAH

[756secret]

@tymoor26

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA­AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[libbyandtai]

i stayed up so late to watch this stream and felt like a moron when i relised it was over just as it started to get good

great reveal tho i was very happy for them

upside to saying up 12+ hours for 30 min video

was getting to talk to Theretrohunters in chat for a bit

thanks rob for being so nice :D

[pf91rodman]

There should be a dislike bar to show how much a post or video sucks

[NZYE]

@pf91rodman they already have a rating system,..

[pf91rodman]

@NZYE

yes, there is a like button, but is there a dislike?

[Cwervy]

@pf91rodman It's right next to the like stuff

[pf91rodman]

@pf91rodman

I'm talking about the new site, all I see is a facebook like button

[NZYE]

@pf91rodman u can actually vote every video from 1 to 11.. so.. if the video sucks. u can vote it with a 1.. its the same as a dislike buttom..

[pf91rodman]

@NZYE

they removed that feature on the new site though, now there's only a facebook like button

[carefulauggey]

Honestly, I didn't go to ScrewAttack much before, but I'm really interested now!

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Since Spoony will be featured on the site, will we be seeing other TGWTG personas like Angry Joe?

[screwattack]

@TheUltimateBeing01 If you guys want to see a specific shot then we'll place them there. That's what that area is there for - to feature what you guys think is good. We'll be your gaming destination for everything - news, trailers, and the shows you want to see.

[ShaqFlims]

@screwattack Can we still upload videos???

[bigal2k643]

@screwattack angey joe sucks as he pretends to talk for al gamers though one person id like to see is roo the guy with 16 bit gems

[hinkeyman]

@bigal2k643 Yeah, I wish CotGW was partnered with Screwattack. 16 Bit Gems would be wonderful to have on SA.

[iwanttocreatavideoga]

@screwattack  THAT WOULD BE EPIC. A merge of screwattack with blistered thumbs/TGWTG would OWN THE INTERNET.

[EclipseTheDarkOne]

Inspector Gadget should have done this walktrough. Move the Glow!!

[blueluigi]

I can't wait to check out the new Screwattack. Everything about it looks a lot improved from the old version.

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Wow people really took that comment the wrong way.

It even got a response from someone at Screwattack (they never respond to me, LOL).

[AtaeruCDX]

how about for people who don't use social sites? It seams as thought we won't get to have our thoughts heard as we can't rate, and may alienate your previous g1's who's only "social site" was screwattack.

inb4 just get facebook, it's not that hard. What are you trying to do? Keep your privacy?

[TheFightingFalconAce]

@AtaeruCDX I assume you have a screwattack account, comment and refresh a few times, yah I'm a little iffy abou that too.

[AngusKSThomsen]

Men

[UnknownAs1an]

It actually looks easy to find and filter articles now. Good job guys!

[Aussie27Legend]

You gotta admit, this is such a huge improvement its not even the same website >_>

[fsmetal]

I occasionally use upload videos. I upload weekly audio files. Ihope I can still upload audio

[fsmetal]

The new Kevin Butler vid is there. Sweet

[fsmetal]

I spy Zero Punctuation. Awesome.

[lorndarken]

i cant wait

[Mochme]

YAHTZEE! FUCK YEA!

[DrunkinPeasant]

Man this looks gorgeous...I have been a huge fan since a friend brought me here way back in 2006 by showing me the AVGN...I am loving the direction this website is going. CRAIG 4 PRESIDENT!

[bluegemini]

So far base on your walkthrough, I'm liking how the new site works. Can't wait to try it myself. Is the open beta for site already on the run? Hope I could have an early try-out, heheh! But if not, guess I have to wait until next week, September...

Nice job guys. Thanks.

[theonidood]

This site is undescribable (in an awesome way)!!

[MaverickXIII]

That fact you guys actually spent the time to show a walk through for your new website, gets a thumbs up from me. I'm tired of going to websites with poor designs, confusing organization and bad navigation, its like a fucking obstacle or god damn puzzle. Your new website ui looks clean; with well thought out organization of important elements, the fact that you can find what your really looking for(hard news), and easy navigation, the Ui is awesome you guys, great job!
