Unfortunately, I doubt they will because it probably wouldn't be worth the effort to switch the walls for a show that short. If their next space has multiple "studios", then that might be doable. One show could be going, while another one is being set-up.
It is a bit disappointing sometimes with GoG/KFP focuses so much on some visual thing that's going on. A lot of that was happening in the recent epiosde. Not good if I'm not in the position to watch. (Which I'm usually not, I only turn these on when I'm doing something)
I like listening to screencast anyway, y'know since it's there. But I do agree that KFMS was goat and I loved how much more often we'd get to get everyone's opinions on trailers/news asap.
I'm sure this thread will suddenly be happy and wont at all just find the next person to constantly complain about at KF.
The GameCast can't catch a break, can it? People keep leaving it.
I think they will need yet another hire. I don't think it will work with Fran, Tim, and Greg.

Sounds exciting for them. And excited to see what it means for Disney; sounds like they're ramping up their licencing for games which is interesting. Hopefully following what they've been doing with Marvel rather than Star Wars...
But yeah can't say I'll miss Andrea on KF. Wonder who else there is to bring in as a regular? Greg's talked before about how specific the criteria is; you basically need someone who lives in SF but doesn't work full-time so can come in during the day and can accommodate their constantly shifting schedule. That applies to so few people.

I was going to suggest Lucy James, but she works full time at GameSpot.
Andrea Rena leaving is very sad but good for them really Disney is a ducking paycheck and a half!!!!! John is about to make fucking bank! I will miss Andrea but I'm glad she is supporting her husband and going with him. Hell she could probably become a stay at home mom with that Disney paycheck if she wants haha
Hopefully good things are coming for Star Wars games. While I don't think the EA games are as bad as the internet thinks they are, I still think the IP has been very underutilized.
I hope their next host Gamescast is someone who actually plays a decent amount games. Currently, the lineup is Tim (Nintendo games and almost nothing else), Greg (GAAS and occasional indie titles), and Fran (GAAS). Gamescast will truly be the GAAScast if they don't snap up someone with a diverse taste quick.
I wonder who they would even bring in. Maybe no one (at least for now). I currently can't think of anyone who is available to join them.
Feel like they should just maybe double down on Games Daily and call it a day on Gamescast. It's redundant and they just don't play enough of a variety. Make Games Daily have a what you've been playing segment or something.
While I don't think they need to do something that drastic, I do recall, in the months preceding the Colin drama, people complained about how much he dragged the energy of the show down. As a potential solution, I suggested (at the old site) that they make the Gamescast a monthly show instead of a weekly one. Then, it sorted itself out with Colin leaving and KF hiring the part-timers/creating KFGD. Gamescast started feeling energetic again. Maybe they can retool some stuff, but I don't think it needs to be axed (not yet at least).
It's a shame they can't hire someone who works at IGN or GameSpot to fill in. Lots of good options there. Maybe Andy could do it?

I wouldn't mind seeing Andy or even Barrett taking the fourth spot on GC. At least they'd bring something new to the table.
I know people think Andy can be a little too jokey at times but I think a lot of that comes down to nerves and not being comfortable on camera. I think if he was on the show every week he'd probably be a lot better.

I like both of them but I don't think they would really expand or enrich the discussion.
Another woman would be nice. Not because there's a quota or anything but you know, different voices.
And someone who plays genres the other guys seldom touch.
I was recently thinking about this for no reason whatsoever but I love how the bombcast has evolved over the years in terms of the games they discuss. The GB crew has really expanded their horizons. Even "old-timers" like Brad and Jeff. And that's because new staff members exposed them to different things. That's what KF needs in terms of videogame discussion right now.
I think Kalle Plagge or Alexa formerly from What's Good Games would have been great picks but I don't think they're available sadly.
Anyway, I was not a fan of Andrea but good luck to her in LA.
After the E3 predictions episode people were getting annoyed that all of Andy's predictions seemed to be jokes or not serious. This was more on reddit than here.
I think some of the comments come off as alittle strong but I am happy Andrea is moving on to better things and opportunity's. She has a very particular strongarm view when it came to certain topics and it definetly turned me off from listening to some of the episodes, especially when she is *wrong* about a topic and won't stand down, its bloody needed sometimes but when its more directed towards defending publishers/companies its hard to listen to her.

Sorry, can someone fill me in on why there is so much hate against Andrea Renee? She seemed okay just based on what I've seen from her.
Basically what the post above you says; she's very strongly opinionated and has a tendency to double-down on things even when she's demonstrably wrong. She'd tend to dig in on a point or an opinion even when everyone was disagreeing with her and then, when proved wrong, she'd just shrug it off or try to change what her point was. A good example was in a recent Gamescast where she was trying to argue that the main reason for PS4's early success was having Bloodbourne as an exclusive and she referred to it as a "launch game". When Tim said that it came out a year and a half after launch, she starting changing the point she'd been trying to make originally and it was all very weird.
This was particularly annoying on KFGD where there's an entire segment dedicated to people pointing out when the hosts have been wrong.
Andrea insisted for 6+ months that Nintendo had blown their load by releasing BOTW and Odyssey in the first year of the Switch, and only began to concede after Tim and Brittney proved her wrong multiple times on two separate shows. Then when the Smash sales came out, she basically grilled Greg on air for specific details about the sales in a weird attempt to prove the reports were misguided.
These sort of things earned her the illustrious title of 'red Colin' on YouTube.

Thanks, I haven't picked up on it yet but ive only started listening to KFGD just recently. I actually remember Andrea more from her time on Gametrailers a few years ago.
I've literally never seen her called "red Colin", but that's funny.
Anyway I'm gonne miss her. Yeah she has bad moments, which can be real bad, but the vast majority of the time she is super chill and cool. This is super saddening for me!

Not being able to admit you're wrong is a bad trait to have. Despite this, I enjoyed Andrea's presence on the shows. She will be missed, and she was in a lot of content. Going to be hard to replace.
Real cool to see everybody on Games Daily unanimously defend that HitRecord nonsense with the bullshit E X P O S U R E argument.
That is honest to God kind of fucking surreal.
The more I stare at it, the more weirded out I get because it feels almost real.
Happy grandpa Greg is perfect.
Tim and Andy : broken by life and about to become Last of Us 3 NPCs. Andy especially, he looks like he's about to give one hell of a speech about loss and forgiveness.

If anyone wants to see more Andrea they should watch/listen to What's Good Games. That show is her at her best, plus Brit and Steimer are also great. They mellow her out a lot, and it's rare to find a gaming podcast of all women (I can only think of WGG and Axe of the Blood God off the top of my head).
I usually listen to this too. It's pretty good. I think with moving to LA, Andrea and Steimer will be in studio together.
I've tried multiple times with WGG. I like the cast in theory but I just can't get into them. It was easier with Alexa (who was barely there). It's not "serious" enough. I know KF isn't either but they seem even less so. Plus with KFGD and Gamescast it just is a lot of the same stuff over and over again. Also Andrea constantly saying "as I said on KFGD..."
