A survey has been sent to Xbox 360 owners that provides some interesting insights to Microsoft's ventures into the casual gaming space.
The first part of the survey is the most standard, asking people about their favorite game shows and board games, including Balderdash and Taboo, as well as what they like best about 1 Vs. 100. One interesting aspect of that section is that there may be a paid version of 1 Vs. 100 that will offer better prizes.
The latter part of the survey, however, is extremely intriguing, and an indication that Microsoft may be venturing into a PlayStation Home-like space in which Avatars can congregate and play retro games on classic coin-op cabinets. They queried applicants what name would fit the space best – "Game Room", "RetroCade", "AvatArcade", "RetroGame", "Classics LIVE", and so forth.
It's been a little bit since we last heard about a possible 1 vs. 100 revival on Xbox Series X|S, but Xbox still hasn't done anything to discourage the rumors. If it does come back though, will it actually be able to outlast the original?
During Fanfest, Spencer said that that they were planning a fan fest trivia, and the entire team was working on the project. However, it didn't turn out the way they wanted. He continued saying we are still planning to do something... "maybe we should even be building our own trivia game like from our past and allow people to play a trivia game more often. Maybe that could happen."
Yes 100%. Loved even the possibility of rewards and playing with friends online is so important during these times , 1vs100 was great.
Chris writes: "With the release of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout this week, it's time for the return of the Battle Royale MVP. It's time for 1 vs 100 to make its return."
this 100%!!!! they could put it on gamespass even if that would be what they have to do.
Man, this was that type of quality app that made the 360 shine back in the day. This was crazy fun
Buuuuut I thought everything Microsoft did was original and intended for the hardcore gamer?
Certainly a Home clone will appeal to the hardcore crowd, just like Mii-too Avatars really got the hardcore gamers excited, and just like Netflix and Twitter integration really got the hardcore gamers excited, and just like (let's be honest here) waving your arms around in front of a Natal camera or talking to little Milo really got the hardcore gamers excited....
The really sad thing is that die-hard Microsoft supporters will still hype this up and claim it is so fun and original.
That would just be MS doing what MS does best, copying from the competitor instead of innovating. The last time MS was innovative was when the original Windows 95 launched other then that they have done nothing except buy out the competition who was innovative or copy the competition when they couldn't be bought.
A Microsoft Home would probably be a better Home than Sony's Home...considering Sony's version really has no where to go but up at this point.
I think it is lame...but I thought that with avatars at first too...but I am definitely enjoying my Obama avatar:D
Keep it free and I would definitely give it a shot.
house? cribs? home?
