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

This is all really cool and stuff but completely useless worthless for millions of people.
- Why, you ask.
And I can answer that.
- Because Europe is not only UK, Europe is also Portugal, Spain, France, Holand, Germany, etc. (I can keep naming countries) and the content of this “game” will be ONLY in english, am I wrong? No, i’m not! Thank you.
So, now you see my point when i say “useless” and “worthless”. That’s not i can’t understand english, but not all of us can and above all, not all of us must.
Recapping: i’d prefer not to have this kind of spaces instead of have “english language dedicated spaces”.
This is very very frustating!!!
By the way, I’m Portuguese (with very PRIDE).
Think about it admin bloggers!

Looks cool, great idea guys.

MyBuzz questions are bundled by your language settings and the English questions tend to have a UK bias, while things in Home tend to be English.
How will you deal with those differences ?

I guess we (on other countries) have to move on on that… for them, Europe is only UK…!
It’s times like these i wish i had born a citizen of the USA. They have all the best in content matters, etc. and here in Europe only UK has something like that, the rest means nothing to them.

I suppose this is a good idea although I’m not interested myself. Well, I’m not interested in Buzz! otherwise either so it’s no surprise… But Buzz!, as far as I know, is pretty popular, so this ought to be good for PS3 (and Home).
And maybe I’ll try this myself, too. Prizes are always nice

Looks like great fun! AND a lot of people can play at the same time, great! That´s the thing that´s wrong with almost all the other games in Home. So, great idea and use of the buzz concept in Home.

This looks like the kind of in-Home space to satisfy even the most impatient of Home dwellers.
Nice job!

Can’t wait starting to play this

Awesome! I think this new area will be very appreciate by the users.

Sounds great! This should be great fun with other “Homey’s” to play and brag about ones superior knowledge or… lack thereof.
Keep the good stuff coming

I am ridiculously excited about this
I’m a pub quiz legend and I can’t wait to pwn all your arses all over home.
love love love quizzes
hate hate hate ps home up to this point but will definitely be reinstalling it now
one request
I understand that some of the questions may be drawn from user generated quizzes. if this is the case you MUST verify all answers
I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS IF SOME OF THE ANSWERS ARE WRONG! EVEN IF THOSE ACTIONS INVOLVE SADISTIC MUTILATION AND MURDER which they almost certainly would

Sounds and looks cool, I have Buzz! but none of my friends have it. Will they need to have a Buzz! retail copy before they can enter the Space? (like RE5 has a exclusive space)

This looks like a really neat feature for Home. The first of many to come:)

Will it be possible to game-launch – being a dane it seems that there are BIG problems in getting the sofa vs sofa games, might be better to find someone in HOME, furthermore since we get the same questions no matter what Buzz! Brains of ….. why not make it possible for everyone to meet, when we play our own games it shouldn’t matter what language you get the questions on.

Awesome… been waiting for a game where I could immediatly join in instead wait for 5 mins until the other player is finished. I’ll be sure to make a visit. By the way can you explain what those prizes are, clothes, furniture etc?
Thanks in advance and offtopic:
SCEE Blog peeps congrats on the awesome design… something the US PS sites allways lack

This actually looks like something which will entice users into Home over and above a lot of the stuff that we currently have in Europe. Good work !
126
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 9:52 pm by Tabs85
OMG lol this looks like fun! I bet though a lot of people will just run to where the largest crowd is lol.
127
Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 9:54 pm by aat08
Terrific news indeed! I truly hope that Relentless Software will indeed be occasionally updating the Buzz space with tons of new questions so that we could always have a reason to come back buzzing!
Thank you

Really cool idea. ill check it out soon.
great work with the blog BTW

Are you going to release any additions to the MP on Buzz such as different rounds being played at all? This would be very welcome (along with the home space)
Cheers

just wanted to say, as a proud “closed beta” tester of Home since Aug 08, I LOVE HOME!!!!
Great to see more spaces coming to Home. I have been waiting patiently for Buzz home space. That video looks AWESOME!
BTW, Im so happy with EU PS blog and i commend your hard work team

Great news and cool idea of implementing social gaming in home. What’s next? LittleBigPlanet space? Singstar space?
This turn on home’s evolution shure attracts my attention further.
Good times indeed…

Posted on 28 May, 2009 at 11:49 pm by tangin34
This space probably makes home about 100x more interesting, can’t wait for it.
Also i hope this blog means we can hear more Playstation related news for the isolated folks here in Australia

Home is getting better and better. The Buzz space looks cool too, should be a fun home game to play.
Good job.

I must admit when I first used Home I was sceptical, but stuff like this keeps dragging me in. I really like the way Sony is taking Home at the moment.

Runaround…………NOW!!!! OK, that’ll mean something to few people of a certain age group, but that’s what it reminds me of. Good ol’ Mike

This is such a great idea. And making it multiplayer for up to 64 people was genious. I cant wait to get my new PS3 and bend my brian with all sorts of trivia.

This will probably be a very popular Home space. Good job!
One question tho: how does the camera work? Sometimes it looks like there’s an overview where you can see the question and answers at the same time but there’s also the one where you have the cam behind your avatar. How does that work? Can you switch between the two?
144
Posted on 29 May, 2009 at 10:15 am by Amphlett
The Buzz room looks like a SUPER idea and it looks to be well executed. It should bring even more people back in to Home.
The one thing that really bugs me about Home though is that there appear to be frequent new updates to the main Home application which result in downloading of the latest version. Oh, the Cinema has updated, needs a new download. Oh, the Mall has updated, need a new download… You get the idea.
Recognize that Home is in ‘Beta’ (?) but it would be good to have a stable Home space for a while.
