EuroGamer: For Relentless Software, the book has all but closed on Buzz! - a quiz series voiced by Jason Donovan and recognised by its bespoke four-button controllers. What Sony poured champagne over during the glory days of PS2 simply failed to bubble on PS3
Buzz! Games had a time when they took over the gaming world. They were amongst the most popular PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It only makes sense for them to return on the PS5.
Omg this! My family play Knowledge is Power to fill the void as we wait for a new generation of Buzz.
Awesome fun at Christmas with the family or with your mates when the drinks are flowing.
Is it sad I never even heard of this or just don’t remember it at all ? Not the type of game I would play generally so I know nothing about it . I would check it out if it’s fun with the fam . I have owned every PS ever made including the Go that I gave to my son . Just don’t remember this
I vaguely remember it myself.
Not sure why your honesty was downvoted I threw u an upvote
There was a f2p version on the PS3 store (might still be there) and a version of it in PS Home. That’s my only experience with it but it seemed like a party/trivia game. Not sure what the full titles were like
I saw it advertised everywhere but never played it, didn't seem like my type of game.
Yes buzz was the greatest party game back in the day.
And in today's world everyone has a potential buzzer in their pocket with the app integration similar to knowledge is power and no more tangled cables.
I still have the original buzz controllers.... AND the revised wireless ones!
I know...but we really loved it back in the day.. lol
I would love another buzz game. it was family friendly, funny, entertaining, and easy to learn/play so supper accessible.
Popular when? It was not popular back then at all except outside the stares for some reason. It was gimmicky as f when everyone thought they were so clever making game-show like games. but with puppet people… yuck.
You wanna gameshow game? Smash TV. Done. Move on.
I'd consider sales of over 10 million pretty popular. I know a few people who had (and still have them) fun with a few drinks.
Love playing it with a few drinks, can't beat it, oh and singstar of course 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah the world is much bigger than the states in Europe, ociana it was very popular with all sorts of people's from non gamers to gamers.
Smash tv never heard of it.
Anthony Daly looks at whether a new Buzz game is needed?
OPM: While the PS4 is all about shiny new technology and fresh ideas there’s a load of PS3 stuff we’re not ready to say goodbye to just yet. From Home to Singstar and more here’s some of Sony’s current gen potential we want carried over to the future.
I would really like to see Home make a return, and for it to live up to it's full potential. It's such a brilliant idea.
Give me another Sing Star too. I have almost every game in the series.
Ye i really loved some of the levels where you could go into the worlds of your favourite games, i'd love to see more of it.
Buzz failed because they didn't innovate. IT was the same game with a few minor additions each release ie same as Madden.
I didn't fail there just wasn't enough put into the series when I worked for a game retailer there were plenty of people asking for Buzz on the PS3 but we either didn't have it in stock or it wasn't released.
I think buzz is a fun game I played it on ps2
I like Buzz.
But it should have been a one off buy for the game and buzzers, then a steady stream of question packs in online DLC.
I think they just released Buzz on PS3 and expected everybody to be happy with exatly the same thing we had on PS2.
Even Singstar had to evolve (actual music videos in the backgrounds, singstore, more artists, different singing modes) for PS3 for people to justify the "upgrade".
Buzz was fun but i don't think the hunger for MORE quizz was that intense
Buzz Off!!!
