“1 vs 100” on Xbox LIVE Takes A Bow After Two Seasons
After two successful seasons, "1 vs 100" on Xbox
LIVE will not be returning for Season 3.
This pioneering show which combined the best of TV
experiences and interactive video games was a ground-breaking pilot in an
entertainment genre that will continue to grow and evolve. During the Beta
season, more than 114,000 people played "1 vs 100" on Xbox LIVE
simultaneously, setting an official Guinness
world record for the most contestants in a game show.
“When we started on this journey, we knew we were creating
an entirely new genre of entertainment that would be a continually evolving
concept,” said Dave McCarthy, General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios. “We’re
very proud of the ‘1 vs 100’ team and their accomplishments, and are excited to
apply what we’ve learned to future programming.”
The “1 vs 100” team is now focusing their skills and
applying the technology used to develop “1 vs 100” to new projects that will be
unveiled in the future.
