Super Replay Showdown: Week One

Last year, we held a special Replay event where we let you, the viewers, vote on a future Super Replay. We wanted to do something similarly unique this year, and we came up with the idea for Super Replay Showdown.

You can see the first act of this epic tournament in the video posted below, but here are the basics:

Eight Game Informer editors have all come up with personal choices for our next Super Replay. Instead of sitting around and bickering with each other like we'd normally do to decide, we're holding a tournament (much like the famed NCAA basketball tourney). The editors rolled dice to find out what seed they would land in the tournament bracket. The editors will face off against each other in competitive games chosen by Ben Hanson to determine who moves on to the next round. We'll air one round of the tournament each week. The winner of the tournament determines what the next Super Replay is.

Enjoy this week's Super Replay Showdown, where we show off the crew of editors that will be competing, explain our personal Super Replay picks, and roll off to see who will be going against who. Tune in next week to witness the drama of our first match-ups and eliminations.

While you're waiting for the next episode of Super Replay Showdown, why not check out our past Replay and Super Replay videos on the Replay hub?

  • I love this.
  • You guys come up with so much good stuff, thanks!
  • awesome

  • I feel like it should have been Dan and Joe who face off in the finale.
  • Tim should win, he's the man.
    I think...
  • Can we get videos of the different editors talking trash in promos in the lead up to their respective matches? Kinda like what Tim and Dan did, I think it'd be pretty awesome tbh.
  • Its going to be exciting!!

  • I'm excited about this.

  • oh hell yes

  • Dan vs. Joe? That can't be a coincidence. Also, this is entirely awesome.
  • REINER VERSUS PHIL IN THE FIRST ROUND!

  • Tim, ALL THE WAY!

  • Super Replay is much more fun with less known/played games. Half Life or Crash are just 'meh' Replay material.
  • Oh damn, I'm going to have a lot to watch if I wake up tomorrow - oh no, couldn't wait to find out the picks.

    Ok, you rigged to dice to come up with Dan and Joe, ha ha ha.
  • Yes!! :) And Ben needs to win. I love Conker's Bad Fur Day.
  • Um...is it just me or at the end somebody said ''thanks everypony''??? Anyways, Tim's choice is the best IMO. I'd really like to see Crash Bandicoot being replayed.
  • This is going to be awesome. I'm hoping Dan wins for Half-Life.
  • this looks like its going to be interesting

  • Im like everyones choices, but reiner better win!
  • Aw, rehash of Replay ending.
