Nevertheless, Relentless Software broke ground with Buzz! on PS3, claiming "a number of firsts". "It's extraordinary what we did," boasted Eades. "We had the first playable user-generated content before LittleBigPlanet; we had the first Trophies ever on a PlayStation game; and we also had the first Facebook connect in a PlayStation game - on any console in fact. Sony might have to seriously pull something out of its hat if they are going to remaster or reproduce Buzz! for the PS5. Usually, when a game is remastered, the original developers are involved in the project. Unfortunately, the developers of the Buzz! games series, Relentless Software, ended up closing in 2016, meaning this is no longer an option. This being said, a company as big as Sony could find a healthy workaround for this unfortunate situation. The solution may be as simple as finding some developers who worked on the original games and hiring them as a development team specifically to bring the Buzz! games to the PS5. From 27 August 2009 to 24 September 2009, an event for Buzz! took place in a special PlayStation Events Space. The event was called the " Buzz! Tomato Challenge" and used the space, Events Landing. Exclusive footage from the Buzz! World Championships grand final at La Tomatina festival in Spain was shown during the event. Users were able to take part in a virtual version of the real world event via the Buzz! Tomato Challenge pod in the re-dressed Events Landing. Users threw tomatoes at the enormous Buzz by answering quiz questions correctly. If they successfully hit Buzz ten times within the time limit, they were rewarded a Buzz! Tomato Head for their avatar. This event was only available to the European Home. [15] Cameos [ edit ] The series comprises eighteen games, thirteen of which are part of the Buzz! Series, five of which are part of the Buzz! Junior series. The last game of the series, Buzz!: The Ultimate Music Quiz was released in 2010, and this is the first time we have seen a title from this series.

The show uses a multi-round format with most games in the series featuring eight individual rounds. The exact rounds vary from game-to-game and more information about the rounds can be found in the individual articles. Each game is hosted by the titular Buzz (voiced by Jason Donovan in the English versions) Point Builder – The goal is to select an answer before the time runs out, and everyone who answers correctly receives the points.

Once the game starts, Buzz leads the players through several rounds, each of which contains different objectives and rules. There are eight types of rounds: [3] [4] [8] Buzz!

Her articles are informed by her extensive knowledge of literature and her ability to analyze and interpret complex themes and narratives. The future for Relentless Software currently lies on iPhone with Quiz Climber, although Eades openly declared his love for Kinect to Eurogamer recently. He believes PS3 and Xbox 360 core audiences are at "saturation point", but feels Kinect can expand numbers (like Buzz! did) beyond that. As to whether Sony and Relentless will work together again - either making Buzz! on PS3 or PSP or even Next Generation Portable game - were all questions Eades wouldn't confirm or deny. He was reluctant to even say whether Relentless had toyed around with NGP. I don't think anyone can be happy with [Buzz! PS3] compared to PS2," shrugged Eades. "We [Relentless] weren't enthralled by it's performance and we felt that the market got a bit too much Buzz! too soon on PS3.a b c d e Bishop, Sam (November 6, 2007). "Buzz!
