Hi everyone. My name’s Rob and I’m the European Product Manager for Buzz!. I’m really happy to be able to share some great Buzz! news with you all in my first post here on SCEE’s PlayStation.Blog.
Very soon, we’re going to launch a brand new space in PlayStation Home called Buzz! HQ, where you can chat and meet up with other quiz fans in a new lobby area or take part in a multiplayer Buzz! quiz game extravaganza.
The game works by making you run around the studio to answer questions, all of which are taken from the best content that you’ve created on the MyBuzzQuiz.com website. Four coloured answer buttons are laid out on the floor and you need to make sure you’re standing on the right answer when the time runs out. The winner’s decided over four rounds, and there are a number of exclusive prizes up for grabs for the greatest players. I’m hoping this is going to be really great fun, and bring a great new Buzz! multiplayer game to PlayStation Home.
So keep your eyes peeled for the new Buzz! space, which will be live very soon. In the meantime, check out our pictures of the space and let me know what you think.
Happy buzzing!
Rob

Really nice way of implementing your game into home. Nice job.
Can we expect goodies such as Buzz shirts or even Buzz furniture?
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 4:17 pm by Rob Rutter
There are a few goodies up for grabs for winning, mainly special Buzz! T-shirts you can only get from being the champ, or for winning a set number of times. I don’t want to spoil the surprise too much though…

I’m actually exited about this update, normally game spaces in home don’t have too much to do, but this looks brilliant.

Brilliant, can’t wait. Love Buzz and this space sounds really intereting. Hopefully we’ll be able to win some Home t-shirts etc from playing in the space.
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 4:13 pm by Rob Rutter
Sorry about the pictures everyone (first day and all that!) We’re looking to get these back up ASAP, but glad everyone seems excited about the Buzz! space so far : )

Great news! Loving the Buzz! and SingStar coverage. Hope we’ll see more as they are SCEE-produced!

You rock Rob:)
So happy we have a blog of our own and a cool new buzz space. When I first saw it in 2007 I thought that the buzz space and warhawk space were the best uses of home thus far.
And no other spaces have really given me that impression since

This is great news. I hope maybe the items shown on posters in Home maybe the content given away to winners. They are too good to hand out to very few.
Great work, cant wait to see it.
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 4:25 pm by Rob Rutter
Hi Milnerant,
The items on the posters in Home at the moment are the exclusive prizes for the Buzz! World Championships winners. I’m afraid the Buzz! Home space prizes will be different to those, but still good to win : )

Great stuff!
Really nice to see support for games like these. I’ve never owned a Buzz! game but I play it round my friends often. This sounds like a lot of fun though so I’ll be there!

Very much looking forward to playing Buzz in HOME!
BTW, congrats on the Blog launch! It’s about time we got one, and frankly it looks much nicer than the US one. Kudos.

I’m just wondering why the video seen on the Ameican blog has not been shown on this blog.
If the European blog wants to succeed they need to have what the American blog has and more!

Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 4:42 pm by TheLastDestroyer
Yay a reply to my post!

Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 4:51 pm by Rob Rutter

Very nice space.
like the one from Xi ?
Looks like home is getting more intresting.
I like Xi and hope something great comes out. Will there be more contest/games/spaces
44
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 5:15 pm by Departed45
This is great news! Now I won’t feel so jealous about not getting the prizes that are displayed in the mall! It looks like a fun MULTIPLAYER game (Exactly what home needed!!).
Ten points to the first person who sets up a quiz night, *cough Carla cough* :smileywink:

When I saw this just now on the US blog I thought, oh well another month or so before we hear about this on the EU one but I’m very impressed to see it here too. I’m really liking how SCEE seems to be putting a lot of effort into this and I’m excited for the future of the blog and home which is definitely going from strength to strength, and anyone who isn’t following Xi, I reccomend you check it out, the mini games are worth it alone in my opinion.

Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 5:20 pm by vherostar
great news on this and hope to see a lot more spaces coming to home.

I WANNA BUZZ FACE FOR HOME!!!!!!
plz say you got one sorted
48
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 5:25 pm by reakt
It looks interesting from the pics. Kind of reminds me of that gameshow in the 80s where they had hundred of people on the street stand on certain squares to answer the questions. Argh, what was it called?!? Anyway, I’m quite a fan of BUZZ, and since this is actually one of the few games that the missus enjoys playing, perhaps this new development (HOME integration) will even entice her into trying out HOME!

This space looks like it is going to be so fun, any exact release date? Live soon means Thrusday coming? Or could it be a random day like tomorrow?
Also, i have always thought about buying Buzz, is it available on the PS3?
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 5:43 pm by Rob Rutter
Hi xKillerMonkeyx, I can’t give an exact release date for the space today, but ‘soon’ does mean ‘soon’ : )
Yes, you can get Buzz! on PS3, you mean you don’t have it already? ; )

Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 5:33 pm by ukDougal
Excellent – looks like an implementation of the classic Runaround TV program, should be fun. This is the motivation I needed to re-install Home on my PS3.
Really like the new blog – keep up the good work.
