I don't like your new layout
I can't click onto what parts of the site I want because are OVERlays. I wanted the Wii IGN site but was directed to join IGN instead. Isn't the point of a link to go where you want to go when you clicked on it?
I saw a V and thought that it was a W for the Wii site. I found myself instead at the Vita site.

Bring back the drop down menus on the top menu bar!
I like the new layout which eliminates some clutter but I miss the drop down menus, like when you highlight 3DS at the top of the site you can go right to Reviews, Games, Message Boards, etc. Now it takes a lot longer to get there. it becomes troublesome to find things like that. It's almost impossible to go to the list of games for a specific category like Wii or 3DS.
Also just as a side note, it would be nice to improve your video player. For instance it would be nice when your watching a video in full…

Please Fix the HD Video Playback
Auto-HD is a pain and doesn't really work. Please just let us decide what quality to watch the video in. It works for YouTube and Vimeo. This clicking a button that seemingly does nothing and then waiting for it to randomly decide to switch to HD is annoying and usually only switches halfway through, or right at the end of a video.

Your redesign is awful
Came onto the site and saw the redesign, but it's awkward to browse around the site and going to the PS3 section it's a real pain to get the latest news, previews, reviews and videos specifically related to PS3.
Also, not sure why but the new video player rarely seems to work properly for me, with many videos just never loading.

Add Colour...
The new IGN is way too black and white, I miss the red headers.

Improving Advertisement
I understand advertisements are required for revenue and respect it. Please allow the video we wanted to watch buffer in the background while the advertisement is showing and try to stop the simultaneous playing of both the video and advertisement.

Allocated backgrounds
Like in the old IGN header they were different colours of different categories, add different coloured backgrounds

Redesign and Improve Video Player
Please redesign your video player or add some features to it like the ability for the time bar at the bottom to auto hide itself after a couple of seconds along with the mouse when in fullscreen (it's not true fullscreen when that bar is always in the way and blocks some of the video). Increase load/buffer speeds. Add ability to select another video from the same page without having to load a whole new page. A better way to increase/decrease volume levels. A whole new redesign would be great but adding some new features would make me happy! :)

TV Reviews
I can't find a way to get a list of all of IGN's TV reviews? There used to be a list of options when you scrolled over "TV" on the navigation bar, but that's gone? Now I can only go to the main TV page, where I can't find a link to just see the latest reviews? I know there's a "Hot TV Reviews" list, but I want to access the longer list from a few days earlier than that. Thanks.

Bring back "Themed" layouts for each page.
Like when each page has a specific theme to it.
This used to be so cool and you never needed to change it.
Example:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050211090453/http://xbox.ign.com/

Video autoplay feature
When I disable autoplay feature in a video, I want it disabled for every video at all times until I choose otherwise.
Its very annoying when I watch a video and quickly scroll down to read the comments and the next video loads directing me to another page.

You don't have to try and improve something that doesn't need improvement.
Hello,
I always thought your site was very good and have never had any problems whit it. So my question is why are you "improving" your site?
It was good the way it was, everything worked and was functional.
I would love a visual update but dont go to far in trying to update every single thing becouse some times that just isn't neccesery.
so just give it a visual update and a few tweaks here and there and everything will be alright.
I hope this is usefull to you.Thanks for reading

Videos autoplay when I click on "articles"
When I read IGN I open several tabs at a time careful to avoid "Watch!" or "Video" because I want to read other articles first and watch videos when I have more time. However, the problem is that out of nowhere I'll hear a video start to play but not know where it's coming from. I have to go through the tabs to find the video with no indication that the page I clicked on opened an auto-playing video.
I would consider this idea completed if videos didn't autoplay or if all articles that linked to these videos had a…

Add CC "Closed Captioning" or English Subtitles
I have been a fan of IGN for a very very long time and I have waited patiently for them to someday add CC (Closed Captioning) or English Subtitles for the Deaf or Hearing Impaired on videos such as interviews, Daily Fix, Conversations, Weekly Wood and etc. We don't need to have CC for video game trailers but it would be nice to have it available. If Youtube, MTV, HULU, Netflix and many other amazing video sites could add the ability to enable/disable CC or English Subtitles then couldn't IGN do it as well? I know IGN can do it.…
