Scene It? Box Office Smash!

Posted by jaynoon on July 14, 2008 – 10:48 am

 

Hurrah! I can finally talk about what I’ve been working on all this year: Scene It? Box Office Smash has been announced during the Microsoft Keynote @ E3.

This new Scene It is the first retail game to support the new Xbox LIVE Avatars (also announced today) so that you can play as your own custom character. The other big new feature is online play for 16 people via LIVE.

We’ll speak more about Scene It? and the other announcements from E3 in an upcoming podcast.

Questions! We want questions!

Hey dudes and dudettes,

Just a reminder, if you have any questions for us for our next show, leave them in the comments. We’ll pick the best of the best to read and answer. Try to focus on process, testing, game development, or life at Microsoft. We can’t answer anything about unannounced release dates or features of upcoming games.

Ask away!
