After the nudge the other day i was finally treated to an opticians test today with the sneek peek of the new Gizmondo website!
Unfortuntly the above joke was real the sneek peeks of the website are tiny so much so no real detail is given, appart from a general idea of what is to come.

As you can see fans of spiderman may think of venom on first look as Rich explains

Center shape is an orb that changes and mutates as it spins...when each button is pressed, the assembly stretches, extends and rebuilds itself.. ENJOY!!!

Granted a first look all be it a tad late as Gizmondo do but somewhat dissapointing "Sneek peek" as it doesnt show much detail just of their art style. No information is availible of who is producing the website or what is on there but i'm sure we will fill you in on the next update.

Will this be the art style Gizmondo chooses for their new shell/OS? looks good but we shall see in the future.

ENJOY!!!
Update: see below for larger shots! thanks Rich!

Hi All,

Wahoo, for once I am the first to reply.... even after gettin in from work!! lol

We waited 4x days for this??? C'mon Rich my main man, give Trev some bigger shots please.... we're hanging on a thread here waiting..... (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) lol

Anyway, jokes aside.... its nice to see something official coming to light. Not sure about the branding/website just yet. The pic doesnt really do it justice enough at that size, hopefully a bigger shot or maybe the real thing will act better...

Still, early days.... lets see what else Gizmondo have up their sleaves.... (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) lol

** Edit to Update2: **

Ok, nice to see a full size version, not sure of the website in comparassion to what little I saw of the old one. I think I liked the old one better, but who knows, this could all change. Whats interesting to me is that the pics are called Gizmondo 2.7, is that how many takes it took to get the website they liked, or is it built/based on the model of Gizmondo we are at...??? (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) lol

Now we await the replies to our questions, hope he has a cuppa coffee ready, he's in for a long wait!!!

Cheers,

Lister

Have to say I don't like it at all lol I like the old design much better, people aren't bothered with all these flash sites anymore, more of a passing fad than anything, It's all too dark and mysterious, which i suppose suits Gizmondo Inc!
To me it looks like it's one man's flashy tech website of things he made in his garage or something lol rather than a corporate handheld website.....thats my opinion....bring back the old website style!

i like it. not sure if i prefer this or the old one, this presumably being all flash animation, i'd expect it to be slow or choppy

I admit, i do like the old sites look, it was clean and easy to navigate. if you have a slow internet, this flash site will be a bummer to load.

Though trev, Im not sure on the teletubbies!! LMAO

Hi All,

As said above, I never got to see the original official site way back when, but from what I have seen across the web of the old site, I do prefer the old one far more than this new one.... not sure, but the new one seems to be targetting kids more than the original teen-adult market.

Who knows, we are on 2.7 of the site, so it could all change again before the release.... lol - although, was this the "new funky good site" we've all been waiting for...? I'm prepared to wait a bit longer I think.... lol

Anyway, I think the icon no one knows anything about is an icon for me.... I think its GPS / Location based services, as it looks like the < Steering Wheel > (lol, aint got a clue of its real official name) of a boat. So could be longitude/latitude and all that kinda thingie..... after all, they keep going on (like me) about GPS, and so far not a mention of it... that icon is for me!!!!! ME I TELL YE!!!!

lol

Cheers,

Lister

hmmm, actually ya know if you look at the 2 images, you have what im presuming is the ''main'' menu. then the other image with the pic of Giz in the corner, that could be the sub menu of the ''encounter, meet gizmondo'' button.. as its in the right corner..?

it be my 20" rims yo! bling bling lmao ships wheel. gizmondo goes nautical!
nah the GPS icon is in the other side with the radar. so the ship wheel would be extra effort/doesnt make sense for the designer to make a new icon... trust me we are a lazy bunch (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) webdesigners wouldnt do that.

yep gizmydoh my thought exactly (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

tho one pointer on your icon for the "S"/hourglass if you notice the circle is a arrow going anti clockwise.... oooo timemachine!

Great minds think alike!! (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ahhh i see your point so clearly now.. an anti time glass.. I think you could be right there, with the ''pre 2005'' are you thinking games that were to come? like Colors, Supernatural. etc.. then have a complete new section for new games an stuff.. kinda like Xbox Arcade for the old stuff..?

pretty interesting design for the website. i have a feeling though that it is just a template site that they pasted the Gizmondo name on. hopefully this wont show in the finished product.

Aside from like the new website and re-release of the Giz, Do we know what the new one looks like? and will we get any ports of old giz games like colors, or even re-created games that were never finished like milo and the rainbow nasties? (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Or johny whatever!? (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif)
