Opening Post
Damn it, my box is full :D
Picked up the new Scene It today and just had a cheap bundle copy of Lego Indy and Kung Fu Panda arrive. Oops!

Oh I really want Scene It :/ Forgot that was out today.
My mate called UPS about 3 weeks ago about picking up an Xbox360, he phoned MS, organized it all, hung up, walked to his kitchen, flicked the kettle on and his door went. Was less than 1 minute from hanging up to picking up, he hadn't even boxed it yet :p.

Oh, and I should have had Scene It today, but my pre-order my Gameplay hasn't been sent out, and is apparantly now on back order from the supplier. I'll pick it up in town tomorrow when I take in Fable and Fallout to sell. Hopefully I can create my Avatar tonight to use on it tomorrow :D
Didn't know Scene It was out. Might have to take a look at the end of the month :)
Just had a couple of games of Scene it with the family.
It's definately more of the same with equally annoying voice overs, but over all they've improved it in every way.
You can personally thank me all as I took part in an extended Scene It! survey (I actually won a full retail copy of Office for it). They've dropped 'losing points' for incorrect answers, there seems to be a far larger selection of games and they've changed the sequential game (put the films in year order) by letting you have as many goes as you want and slowly revealing the answers.
It comes with some predefined Avatars you can choose from and I'm looking forward to trying it with the real things... next week, grrrrrr.
Thumbs up.
Thumbs up so far! :)
Odd question but does the new Scene It still look the same? Same interface etc just with different questions?
Or does it look different?

Differentish.
It attempts to personalise the experience by having you pick avatars that then sit on a virtual sofa for the competition.
But the question rounds are basically the same full-screen mini games we saw before, though none of the graphics are repeated from the first game.
Is the actual layout the same though? Bit hard to explain :o But does it all look extremely familiar?
Reason I'm asking is my Mum and me were talking about it and she's interested but she only wants it if it doesn't look like the first one as it'll remind her of last Christmas when my Dad was about.
She might still want it anyway but I want to know if I need to prepare her (and me) before buying it :)
Hopefully that makes some kind of sense!
Hmm wonder if there's a demo.....*goes to have a look*
Doesnt really look or sound the same imo, but it does play the same. Grab the demo and see for yourself :) The avatars should set it apart enough though.
I do get where you're coming from.
My wife says Scene It takes her back to when she had bad morning sickness last christmas too and it's the main reason we sold the last one. She was quite apprehensive when we tried this but it's not been too bad as it does look quite different.
However the sounds are still the same and of course it's the same controllers. It's still definately 'Scene It!'.
I think there's a demo on XBL you could try.
I think once you get the NXE and can import your own Avatar she might see it as quite a different experience and she might like seeing you both in the game.

Cool, that sounds alright then :D

Yeah she might like that, when we first got the wii we did a mii of us both and my Dad so no doubt the same will happen again.....yeah i know that's hypocritical to the reason why she's wary about it :p
First one was excellent fun but wasn't sure what to do with this one but sounds like we'll have it again for this Christmas!
I'll get the demo downloaded now just to confirm, thanks both :)

I have moved the posts from the xbox thread into here and things might look a little odd because Nokkon's post is actually after all the others :o

I didn't know it was going to do that :o
Oh excellent, didn't know this was out. Is it possible to buy it without the controllers?

Should be Feek, you can buy the first one without :) Will look for a link.
Davey_Pitch
14-11-2008, 23:00
Yes Feek you can buy it without the controllers, for a mere £20 :)
Can you use your avatars in this now Davey? Seem to remember them saying it might need a patch to switch it on :)
Davey_Pitch

Nope, still generic avatars so far, which is a shame. Doesn't detract from the game really, it'd just be nice to see my own avatar jumping around :D

It's possible they will open it up once the patch is actually released. IT would be off having a game support something in it's 'beta' stage.
When I fired it up (after installing) it prompted for a patch, which has enabled our avatars :) It's also enabled random avatars for guests rather than cycling those pre-set ones.

As I predicted. Odd for a game to include features for a beta.
Anyone want a game of this sometime? :)
My current high score is 125219 on a long game for anyone interested :D

How many players can you have in an online game? Be cool if we can have everyone :D
If there be space I'm sure Mic would be up for it :)

I'm up for it too. My top score for a long game is just over 100k, my top score for a solo game is over 500k :)
I've not tried solo game yet, have to do that tomorrow sometime :)
Psymonkee

Ned to track down a copy of the solus - silly work hasn't got it :(
I'm sure I'd be up for a game at some point.
