Scene It!: four hilarious controllers, one great price

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 10th 2007 at 11:06PM }

In yet another attempt to capture the casual games market, Microsoft has announced an Xbox Live version of the popular movie DVD game, Scene It. The Xbox 360 version of the movie trivia game will include four ridiculously-designed controllers for use with the game: it looks akin to a "hideously mutated" remote with a much-too-large red button for play -- all at the same cost as a typical retail game. Considering the popularity of other casual titles on the system, such as Uno, the game will most likely harness an audience of hardcore movie buffs.

I'm about done with G4 for this very reason, I'm not sure I'm gonna waste any more of my time on the E3 coverage when I'm getting better from Joystiq and have to come here or XBL for the videos and news.

Giant Red Button? That's an absolute Buzz Controller ripoff!

looks like a rip off of the buzz! remote for the ps2 game. it was never popular (or possibly even released) in the us, but in PAL territories we really like it, and the numerous sequels that have been released.

3 words---- LAME ASS CONFERENCE.

I don't see what's so "hideously mutated" about it. It's small, easy to use, and immediately differentiates itself from the (what could be seen as complex and off-putting) gamepad. I was worried at first sight that it would be too specific in its use, but since it doesn't cost anything more, that faded.

possibly the WORSE looking controller since... hmmm..N64, looks like a big-ass dildo if you ask me.

who knows, it might have rumble. ;)

Smoke_Dawg_187 @ Jul 11th 2007 1:33AM

So what's the price?

Kingofwale go troll somewhere else. You always have the dumbest comment.

Squall @ Jul 11th 2007 1:37AM

that's a complete buzz rip-off. the controllers look exactly the same apart from the fact that they're wireless

MONGO @ Jul 11th 2007 1:48AM

Shameless I say. The whole thing was just plain shameless. They have a big library.........and they know how to plug it.

Microshaft sure likes the cheese I'll say.

I'm not a movie buff, the only scene it i own i got it at a garadge sale, but this is something i will defenetly pic up, play with my girl friend, friends, fam, you know; the obvious targets for this sort of thing, not for the hard cores, so keep it down out there...

i wounder if you can play halo 3 with it..hahah kidding
oh and the worst controller out there (KING) is the gamecube's,

Joystiq, run a poll on that....

Handy Manny @ Jul 11th 2007 2:18AM

oh and whats up with all these comments on commercials..i saw it on g4tv.com and there were no commercials....was it just on the aired one?...

people cry too much on here....joystiq should be sponsered by a Tissue Company....coining a new phrase (Fan Sobbers)

"100 Gamer Points per New Question!"

I can see it now!

Phranctoast @ Jul 11th 2007 6:25AM

i dvr'ed it. Ill watch it later today without commercials.

The scene it seems cool. any word on a price?

I, for one, am kind of excited about this. Unlike the board game where you have to buy and swap expansion discs every year or two, integrated downloadable updates would probably keep this game fresh for a while (if they could roll them out on a regular basis.)

Add in online and camera support and I would play the hell out of this.
