New BUZZ! Outed

Oh BUZZ! how I’ve missed your hilarious one-liners, witty prose and graceful twirls. If like me, your life has been lacking a certain buzz then we may be in luck as ratings board ESRB have a listing for a PlayStation 3 game called BUZZ! Quiz Player.

According to the game summary “This is a trivia game in which players compete to answer questions on a variety of topics, including sports, TV shows, movies, and music.” Rated E for Everyone, but with the cautionary warning that the title contains a reference to alcohol and comic mischief.

According to Eurogamer, Brighton-based developer Relentless Software said “it couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of the game”.

If the game does exist and history is anything to go by, it would be surprising if the new game isn’t on store shelves in time for Christmas, that’s assuming BUZZ! isn’t too drunk from referencing too much alcohol.

  1. Ooh new buzz. Unlike other games this genuinely improves with every new version and i look forward to it!

  2. I recently purchased Buzz: Quiz World and it’s a massive improvement over Quiz TV.

    A new Buzz game will be welcome here :)

    • I’ve been meaning to pick up Quiz World, but I think I’ll wait now

  3. Yeah awesome news, Must buy for me.

  4. I suppose I better dig out Quiz World. I ordered it before last Xmas to help make things more bearable (who like’s talking about the same old stuff when the family is over?) and it arrived late due to stock shortages and postal delays so though I’ve played it a bit I haven’t in a while.

    And don’t get me started with the online quizes….I still haven’t got the trophies as people playing on the website does count and apparently people aren’t rating quizes at the end either going by my ratings ( they can’t be that bad surely!).

  5. Move support maybe?

    • Doubt it, they probably make a far bit from selling the packs with the Buzz controllers included, so having Move support would take away some of that money.
      Plus, I don’t think its really a Move type game. You need the controller to be able to hit the right buttons quickly.

      • I’m sure they can add it on without harming their profit margins. I mean, if Singstar can do it, why not Buzz?

      • From Amazon.co.uk:
        Buzz Quiz World (Game Only) = £29.93
        Buzz Controllers Pack x 4 (Controllers Only) = £32.76
        Removing the need for controllers would /seriously/ ruin their profit margines!

    • The Ultimate Music Quiz, the one scheduled for October release, has Move support.

      • Does it?! My bad then, soz to Grey Ghost and colmshan.

  6. Buzz is awesome, its great fun when you’ve got a group of mates around.

  7. Can’t confirm or deny? That’s funny because I have it listed here with a release date of 31st October in Norway.

    • I’m seeing “Buzz: The Ultimate Music Quiz” pegged for a 13th October release here in the UK, so I doubt there would be two PS3 disk games that close. Have you got a link?

      • No, it’s a print out with a list of release dates for the rest of the year from GameStop, got it in April/May.

  8. Isn’t buzz music quiz coming out this year with move support? This sounds more like a ‘mybuzz’ player, something similar to the singstar viewer perhaps, but you play mybuzz quizes instead.

    • That’s a very good idea – it is an odd title for a disc release. I guess with the new game having Move support, it removes the need for unique controllers, and they can do a PSN download that allows you to use MyBuzz quizzes and DLC.

    • Excellent idea, however…
      The description for the listing is:
      “This is a trivia game in which players compete to answer questions on a variety of topics, including sports, TV shows, movies, and music. Players can choose a character (e.g., cheerleader, super hero) and a sound effect that will be heard when attempting to answer questions. One sound choice sounds like a belch, and another is called “tequila.””

      Doesn’t sound like a glorified viewer to me, but a full game.

      • they’re all categories for mybuzz question’s i think too, but the best thing to do is just wait and see ;)

  9. “You’ve taken the lead like a burglar in a pet shop” BUZZ is one of the few games my Mrs likes. It is good fun when you have a full party online. Im rubbish at it tho!

  10. Woop have ye\t to get Quiz World
