I quite enjoyed that (and discovered Mrs. C had never seen the original series or even heard of it!). Some might complain the box ticking but I think it helps highlight how diverse the gaming community is. I also really liked that at no point did it attempt to pander to a non-gaming audience. It stuck to its guns and it paid off.

Just watching this now and it's great. The 'Educating Grad' segment is a laugh with how subtly passive aggressive it is.

Seeing Trevor as the GamesMaster brings a smile to my face too.

Finally managed to catch up on the first episode - how is it possible for this to be so damned good!? There's no real way to sum it up other than: it's GameMaster in 2021 and it just works! :toot:

Another good one.

Armour section was great fun :wub:

Actually loved the game development session. That kid was genuinely commited to his hilarious "bums" concept and god bless him he got it. :lol:

That Little Lad Larry challenge looked good. Made me pine for a modern Virtual On game.

Educating Grado continues to be amazing. Feels ripped right out of Consolevania. Though I'm triggered by the subtitles they put on it. :slol:

I liked the idea of getting a previous contestant on. Cuphead is a hell of a challenge though. Was genuinely worried he was going to get that original joystick smashed :lol:

Just watching episode 1. Main presenter seems an inspired choice. The other two seem good, but don't seem to have much to do. I wonder if they should have had a format a bit like Top Gear with one or two challenges and then report packages to show off all three together.

Sir Trevor is an amazing choice for GM. He has an iconic voice, which it turns out is surprisingly similar to Sir Patrick!

Credit to the series so far though, its amazingly close to the original. Really well done.

After not particularly enjoying the first episode, I thought the second one was much better. Had to skip through some of the bits that just make me cringe (children and adults having a "feud" will never rise above The Office levels of awkwardness), but I really liked seeing the returning champion bit at the end.

Rab is great, but it always feels like he is having to dial it down to meet the E4 / broader requirements. His little opinion pieces / reviews have been the highlight of the series so far.

Only half way through the first show, but it’s good so far. Really captures the mood of the original - naffness included - but I’d really like to see Rab being more sarcastic. He’s much too nice to the contestants. And the Facebook sponsorship and product placement can strawberry float right off.

It's not been as obnoxious as I feared. The Beat Sabre segment is the most in-your face it's been so far and even then it wasn't out of place (Unlike some of the season 3 stuff that was clearly bought promotional segments).

The November episode of Consolevania, Rab reviewed Resident Evil 4 VR and said that he'd wanted to do it for GamesMaster but they said no as it could have been misinterpreted (It's a Quest exclusive).

Started episode 2, the Deathloop challenge is a bit weird because it's literally just a trophy from the game (and not as difficult as they make out).

Can't get enough of Trevor McDonald though :lol:

EDIT: Educating Grado the best bit again!

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the first episode and I'm loving it. The highlight for me thus far has to be the Beat Saber guy's dad sat on the sofa watching his son go full Star Wars Kid :lol:

It’s a bit crap how many of the contestants are “content creators” - celeb wannabes. Just have normal gamers like before.

I guess it’s to balance out the lack of “real celebs” which was a feature of the original?

Are you saying Snoochie Shy and Warren somebody aren’t real celebs? (I did think it was funny how they maintained the idea of not knowing who he was.)
