3. "Its a Gerard Butler movie!!!!" – my god! ????????

4. 19 Minutes in . . still talking about andrew. . .

5. We love seeing your reactions. . .body language . . smiles. . .the way people talk with their hands. .the set . . .moving to just audio is a bad move guys.

6. Eww. . this was the only reason i had anything to do with ign. . .

7. Audio only, a real shame,
   I can understand why it's going audio-only from a business viewpoint, no need to edit video, possibly no producer running show and no need for the set. But it doesn't surprise me, it's a very short sighted, very IGN move. Considering how the industry has changed, it seems like a '2 steps forward, 1 step back' kind of decision.

8. Good luck Andrew!!

9. Thanks for bringing up Battlefront 2! It's a great game to spend a couple weeks with every few months. If you check in at the right time you find new maps, new heros, new skins and new modes. Excited for the "Titan mode"!

10. No video = no more beyond for me ?

11. no video????? is how i consume this content, weird decision, step back for sure, if your recoding show still how hard is it to put up camera lol?

12. As they are posting the audio to youtube, i don't think it's as "end of beyond" as people are saying –

    However it seems really unnecessary…

    If the issue is the producer's time – don't use one. Sit the 4 people in the room , turn the mics and a single wide shot camera on … cut and post it… done.

    If the issue is the room needs to be used for other shows – use the smaller "pod cast" room

    Also, immediately after announcing there would be no video, you show a great visual reel of photos etc…. found that rather ironic 😛

13. RIP Beyond 🙁 Nobody wants audio only

14. 19:00 if you wanna skip the crap about Andrew.

15. brian's overjoyed that it's going to be audio only.

16. ign are you trying to lose even more members of your fan base? Going audio sucks for your podcasts Keep it ? with the videos.

17. Stop selling us half baked games and demand us shell out for micro transactions in order to get content for the game.

18. A podcast that uses a lot of video aids to show gameplay and trailers becoming audio only is an interesting move.
    Can't wait to hear how they do an audio play by play of the newest game trailers.

19. I only watch. unlocked is the same this is bullshit if

20. probs come back once days gone is over with

21. I'm really disappointed that this is going to be an audio only podcast now. I'm sorry I just can't switch to audio now after seeing you on video for so long. Goodbye Beyond, I've always enjoyed watching this show. I'm going to miss seeing your faces.

22. u know u guys are gonna have to bring video back eventually the video aspect is what made these feel like more than just another video game podcast

23. The anthem talk starts around 19.00

24. I actually like video setup more. But I know its expensive and you guys don't get views here to make money so practically I get ur decision And ya i am brutally honest. Still huge step back won't be watching bmfrom now on or I say listening

25. No video? Alanah moved on to Funhaus I guess I will as well.

26. Okay, so sometimes I feel that IGN has too little Youtube Podcast content. I wish there was more. Then I would not shift to channels like KindaFunny on the off days. But now with Beyond and Unlocked going audio only there is going to be even less. Does IGN want to push me away? Why are you going back in time? Terrible decission and Beyond will be missed greatly. Please reconsider

27. I like watching the video version. I’m hoping Colin and Chris will start doing video of Sacred Symbols so there will still be a fun informative video version of a PlayStation podcast. RIP Beyond (video)

28. The comment section is overwhelmingly disappointed in the news, me included.. I will be miss this each and every week, since YouTube is my main source of listening to talk shows!

29. ok so bye bye beyond

30. Going audio only. Well more free time to actually play video games now then.

31. Losing video sucks I've enjoyed watching this for years, please don't say nvc and gamescoop are going this way also

32. I’m so disappointed about the lack of video for beyond and unlocked…..if game scoop announce no video I’m out guys. I’m sorry, but I think you need to rethink this decision.

33. nope not listening anymore. I like seeing your reactions.

34. Gotta join majority of comments on here and say I think the loss of video is a real bummer I have only ever known Beyond as a video podcast. Is it that difficult to do? What are the reasons for the change?

35. Booooooo … we want video
