Official Xbox Live Primetime Thread (1 vs. 100) - Schedules! Prizes! Trading?
I'm not sure this thread is going to be necessary, but I figured a place for all the chatter about it will make sense. The first up is 1 vs. 100 due out in the next month or so. A couple of write-ups are out right now to give you an idea of what's going on.
My original posts from the XBLA thread:
I figure that between all of us, we'll have a fair amount of active participation. Hopefully a decent amount of wins and prizes too! I'm not sure if the XBLA games will be given as redemption codes, but it seems likely. We could probably use this to trade those codes if you win something you have or don't want. Just keep it in house.
My original posts from the XBLA thread:
Joystiq has a preview for 1 vs. 100 up: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/06/jo...ive-primetime/
It sounds awesome! In fact, I think we might need a dedicated thread to it and/or all Primetime games. Might even need to get XBLA code trading in there for games we win that we already have.

The game sounds good to me, and I'm looking forward to playing it. I love that you can even get a group together locally and all join in the fun.
But here's my concern: of the thousands and thousands of people in each game, only 100 will get to be in the mob. And only one will get to the "the one".
Video gamers are used to being the "center of attention" in games. When you play a game you're the hero saving the princess -- you aren't the random street vendor in the background. I think some people are going to be extremely pissed off by the fact that they don't get to be the one, or even in the mob.
It'll be interesting to see how this works. I don't recall an online game of this nature ever being implemented before.

My big concern with this, or any, online trivia game is online cheating. If you can Google all your answers, what chance do non-cheaters have to compete?

I think a sharp two-person team (one playing, one looking up the answers on a fast laptop) could effectively cheat on this game.
When does this go live?

"Spring 2009".
I would be shocked if it doesn't debut during (or the weekend following) E3.

According to Kotaku, not only will this game have the usual 200 achievement points, it'll renew with every season.
I sure hope "Defeat the Mob" isn't one of them

I used to think so. He was funny on Entourage and in "The Aristocrats", but his HBO special "That Ain't Right" was beyond awful -- I actually started feeling sorry for him. It was like watching a Tourette's patient.

Really excited about this...at least, I was. If only 100 people per night get to actually play the game, that's pretty stupid. My impression was that there would be as many games going on as there were actual people logged on.

But in the beta it looked like they ended up with a few games through the night. So there'll be more than one chance a night to be the one or in the mob.
