Family Feud news for the new season

[CJBojangles]

Plus, it's been an absolute necessity since Louie started it that the contestant frantically shout "FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS! WHOOOO!!!11!!" followed by a round of applause. Gotta save those precious seconds for that!

A Chrysler 300 as the car on offer next season? Geez- that company's in limbo. I would've instead offered either the Honda InSight, the Honda Odyssey or the Toyota Prius.

I stumbled across an article about Fremantle's recent licensing agreement for the new video game versions of TPIR, PYL, and FF, showing a picture of what look's to me like John O'Hurley and a different set, looking closer to the Ray Combs era set:

Anyone know if the show is being updated set-wise?

I'm thinking that's from one of those "Family Feud LIVE!" shows they were doing for corporate groups and such (or the casino show that came back last year). There was a FF Live website a few months back (listing booking info and talent and such) that had pics like that but it's offline now.

I found this post I made a while ago that confirms that it's from the live show. In said pic they are using the more "traveling" set, rather than the Combs replica set. If I remember correctly, I believe that on this version of the Live set, the board and family backdrops are actually inflatables (like the kids bounce houses and such). The board is like one of those inflatable movie screens you can buy.

Family Feud on DS and Wii

I'm also noticing that our Ubisoft buyer accidentally spelled it "Fued" - I'll change that on Monday

It is. I recognize the gameboard software.

I am guessing it'll have the "Pre-Bullseye" format, and perhaps the current set. In any case I HOPE it'll be better than the Playstation version that came out a few years ago. The previous version had its perks, such as the option to play the game using the various sets of Feud (Dawson era brought back memories for me). However, the typing interface was difficult,  and the gameplay seemed monotonous with the "host" using the EXACT SAME banter from show to show. (I don't care if it was Todd Newton, it still was monotonous, and at times the pacing of the game DRAGGED)

I'm not sure about the gameplay, but nothing could be worse than the PS2 version.  The pace, the typing interface, the hideous avatars...

FamilyFeud at Twitter and YouTube has put up a preview of the new intro plus Bullseye. That's followed by a Meet the Families segment and a bit of the first round.

I like the on-screen Bullseye graphics and sounds. The graphics for the family names and the earned amounts are neat too, but I'd still prefer they'd keep it on the backdrop.

I agree, the Music and timing is perfect. Doesn't feel rushed, but feels quick enough. Plus, I like that the last player in the families goes for the $5000. Generally, that last player doesn't have much impact on the game - so it's nice to see something for them. I like the lack of backdrops (makes it seem more like 'home'), however I'd like to see the total played for on the lectern.

Considering they broke stalemates before, their role is even more diminished here with a single face-off that has no bearing on the game.

Hold on a sec here.

Goins family: $15K + $1K + $3K + $5K = $24,000.
Fischbeck family: $15K + $2K = $20,000.
