Xbox Live Game Shows
« on: January 19, 2010, 04:59:27 PM »
From what I've seen, 1 vs 100 on Xbox Live has been a success for Microsoft. So I ask you- What other game shows do you think would work for Xbox Live?

I think Millionaire could work pretty well. Give X amount of people a shot at Fastest Finger in each round, keep question times at 10 seconds apiece to prevent Google cheaters, and the highest scorers in each round get to play Fastest Finger for the next.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

The problem is that Millionaire is, at its base, a less interactive and less-scaling-to-massive-audiences version of 1 vs. 100. Why would they add a game that scales *more* poorly?

For the mass-multiplayer appeal, I wonder how chaotic Jackpot would be with more than 16 players.

"For 37 Microsoft Points, this is my riddle..."[/quote]And this, right here, is the problem with just about every game show, with the exception of 1 vs. 100. If you're going to be on a console, the point is to play. Not to watch other people playing, especially if I'm using bandwidth and paying for the Gold Service level pack. Extended Play is a poor substitute for the real deal, but at least you're answering questions and there's a reasonably good game going. (Plus when I got that question on the Fairchild F game system and 95% of the Crowd got pwned, that didn't suck.)
