Were you more a fan of Dominik Diamond or Dexter Fletcher back in the day?
And who would you cast to replace Sir Patrick Moore?

This is interesting. I was talking about this with a friend a couple of weeks ago, it's something that some people have wanted to come back for a long time, but it also felt very time-and-place. I'll be really curious to see how this turns out.
Also, Dominik Diamond supremacy.

Will it be more esports focused this time around?

As the answer to both questions? yep, the show didnt feel right with dexter fletcher as the host, and who better to have as the animated head of the gamesmaster than one of the people most associated with the show.

Dominik looks the part if this recent video is an indication...reminds me of 'Neptune era' Moore a bit

This is a Simpson’s that’s good/bad thing for me ha
Probably going to have Diamond hosting again - That’s bad (can’t stand the guy, comes across like a massive tool for me)
GamesMaster is coming back - That’s good
It’s ‘celeb’ focused (which probably means guys from hollyoaks, gogglebox and rubbish like that - That’s bad
It doesn’t look like it’s going to be esports focused - That’s good
The best part, the actual GamesMaster is sadly no longer with us - That’s bad

Is there a need for games master these days? Back in the day, video gaming was shoved in a dark corner and never seen on tv at all. Now with the internet and youtube and guys like the angry video game nerd it's now completely different.
On a side note, I knew a guy who had patrick moore's home number as he had written to him about a program he worked on and was intrigued by the soundtrack.
Unfortunately he wouldn't give it to me so I couldn't ring him up and ask how to beat m bison on street fighter 2.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a female Gamesmaster.
Maybe they could follow in the Sir Patrick Moore mold and get Maggie Aderin-Pocock to do it.

Now with the internet and youtube and guys like the angry video game nerd it's now completely different. The mainstream media itself, especially news channels, has this weird idea that video games are still niche things when they pretty much dwarf all entertainment in terms of profits and worth and are regularly taking risks in all levels, AAA to Indie. Like, when was the last video game retrospective that wasn’t opened with 8-bit music and shots of Space Invaders and Pac-Man and maybe Mario from the 16 bit her?

Just to be controversial, I always preferred Games World on Sky with Bob Mills. Of the Fletcher/Diamond preference though, it’s Dominik Diamond all the way. The few times I saw Dexter Fletcher he always seemed to be feigning the enthusiasm. He’s gone on to have a decent career as a director though, so he hasn’t done too badly.
I’m all for redoing old shows - Crystal Maze, Robot Wars etc - but Games Master seems a show very much of its time, so I don’t know if a celebrity reboot would work. The recent Go 8-Bit on Dave was a nice retro gaming show to watch, as it was rather niche. Games Master has such fond memories for people though that the revamp could be a bit lacking. We shall see.

Just as a side note, I've been listening to the Under Consoletation Podcast since it started, they go through Gamesmaster week by week reviewing it, interview people who worked or went on it including some who've gone on to become a bit notable.
Well worth checking out, they're about to start the Team Challenge in series 3

I loved Bob Mills. He was on several shows in the 90s and them just seemed to disappear. Shame, as he was bloody funny.
