New GamersFirst site

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just a quick note to give a little context to the re-launch of GamersFirst.
You will have noticed by now that the site has been updated. This has been in the works for quite a while.
Rest assured that an entirely different team did the work, and it did not take away from our APB development schedule.

Also, the APB section is not finished - however there wasn't much there before other than very dated screenshots and videos.
We needed to push the new site live in order to prepare for the launch of Descent.
We will be going back through and fleshing this area out.
For now, I like that we have merged the News/Blog section into this site, instead of taking people to BlogSpot.
https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/

Thanks,
Matt

Is it just me or is the news section missing the mid September update?

It's a bit sad that this has to be mentioned. People not realizing that the web designers aren't the same people who are working on the engine overhaul. But I like the look of the new site 🙂

The age of willful ignorance, where nobody's willing to take a moment to do simple research. I blame my generation, not actually raising their kids but instead just feeding them smartphones and tablets to keep them quiet.

Currently the links inside each news post still link to blogspot - will you be keeping it around for posterity?

You could do a crowdfunding from the community for pictures, I'm sure people would love to help out with some good pictures.

Also:

Zooming in causes a whoopsie (unless that's by design). On some mobile devices like mine the logo scaling is broken (it oversteps its boundaries).

Overall, a very nice job. A lot better than having to look at Blogspot

But it doesn't have an RSS feed.
Can you add one, as Blogspot had?

Tell your devs that in bigger screen like mine (27 inch) I see the sites turning aside (to the left side) and when I'm resetting password it wouldn't let me do this I return to the main login place instead of "create new password" page.

What resolution though? A webpage adjusts based on window size in pixels not inches

Due to bad influence in the past from GameFirst aka: Money first .... i suggest to use "Little Orbit" name instead of gamefirst.
gamersfirst.com/apb/news -> LittleOrbit.com/apb/news

What do you mean web devs can't do animation and rigging? Gamersfirst is such a joke of a company.

While you're changing things, in the July update you reference the roadmap, should the url for that be changed to the new site as well or will that remain the old url? Edited by Kevkof
added links
