Bump. Videos now autoplay ads but the main video still doesn't play. Comments still don't load on Windows Phone.

Have GS rolled out the new video player yet? I still can't play videos on my Windows Phone 8 device. Up until a few weeks ago videos wouldn't play at all, now I get an ad that autoplays, but afterwards when I click play nothing happens.

Thanks for the reply Lark, good to know a fix for the videos is on the way. Is the comments not loading issue on WP8 devices being worked on at all? Or is it near the bottom of the to-do list? Or perhaps it's not an issue for all users so a fix isn't in the pipeline. On a different note, the Gamespot front page looks much better now, with more relevant features appearing where they should be. Keep up the good work :-) .

Thought I'd pipe in as well. Since the new site, videos don't play (the quality button comes up, as does the play button, but when I tap play it doesn't play at all). When the new site launched they used to play, then they stopped working for a bit, then they played after an ad, but they haven't played at all on my Nokia Lumia 720 for a couple of months at least. Also comments don't load at all.

I wasn't too bothered as I'd just watch on Youtube, I actually prefer the interface on Youtube and the way videos are laid out by upload date by default over there, as well as being less resource-hungry than Gamespot on my mobile.

It's more annoying now that some shows are delayed before they are uploaded to Youtube (obviously to get more traffic to Gamespot).

I don't know the statistics, but isn't it something like 50% of people now use mobile devices as their primary way to view internet content? Videos and comments work fine on other sites (including IGN's ye olde mobile site) and everything worked like a charm on the old Gamespot site. It seems like the new responsive site is actually a step back.

Same here, pressing the 'view comments' button doesn't do anything. Also I cannot view videos either, it comes up with the quality settings on the video but won't play after pressing the play button. Using a Lumia 720 running Windows 8.
