Finding the actual news in the hundreds of fluff articles on Kotaku or Polygon is kind of daunting. If there was a game news site only about actually interesting news on upcoming games, it could update only once a month and be a magazine. Ah the good ol' days.

Where do you get your game news? Just looking to know about games coming out, games announced, big updates on upcoming games, screenshots, etc. If they have less unrelated random articles that's cool too.

Most sites have one or two staff members who churn out click-bait nonsense so sadly you kinda have to remember who they are and avoid/block those articles.

Eurogamer has been like a rock over the years. I get most of my news there. Check them out!

Don't go to Gamespot all they have are lovely click bait articles. Giant Bomb just has links to their horrible podcasts and terrible videos. I don't know what the gently caress a Kotaku is. IGN is a pile of garbage. I don't know where to get news, check twitter or whatever.

I enjoyed joystiq quite a bit for whipping through to see what was going on recently. To bad they got shut down by AOL/parent company. I think they got bought and moved but haven't checked them out since so no idea about quality.

That used to be my go-to site too.

Blue's been doing gaming news without a bunch of nonsense for twenty years. Maybe all the whippersnappers are too young to know about the site.

Neogaf. A lot of it is total garbage but you can't really top thousands of attention-desperate idiots scouring every news site looking for content and megathreads are all shoved into a sub-forum, so the main section has a huge amount of headlines. The fluff is relentless but since it can't expand past a thread title it's really easy to skim.

I used to look at VG24/7 for that. It was purely news and no reviews or editorial or whatever from what I saw, and they had staff around the world so they really did update at all times of the day.

Glancing at it now, it looks like there's a bit more non-news stuff and it got more social networky and lame, but it still seems mostly the same.

Seconding Neogaf. The threads themselves devolve into gif posts and memes, but the threads link you to articles. It's a nice centralized location for the latest news. There's lots of industry folks that post there too. I know Kotaku is mostly trash, but don't they have a "Kotaku Core" which leaves out a lot of the fluff?

Yeah just check the front page of Neogaf. Click the ones that interest you and they'll always link an article or put the screenshots etc in the OP. Just do yourself a favour and don't read past the OP.
